According to a press release
this morning, IMAX will be transforming approximately 20 minutes at the end of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix from 2D to 3D.
Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures said:
We are so pleased to be bringing audiences yet another outstanding Harry Potter film to the big screen in both 35mm and IMAX theaters. This is the Studio's biggest franchise to date, and we expect this highly-anticipated fifth film to play phenomenally well in all theaters throughout the summer.
Veronika Kwan-Rubinek, President of Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures International added:
The Harry Potter films are an enormous draw all over the world, and this film should prove to be no different. The last 20 minutes in IMAX 3D will add a new element of excitement to the Harry Potter experience, making this a must-see for fans of all ages. We're looking forward to a long and very successful run.
The movie will be released in IMAX and conventional theatres on July 13, 2007.
UPDATE: A new poster from the movie from IMAX has appeared online courtesy of TLC.

That is really neat how they can do that. I have an Imax pretty close by, but I don't know if they will be showing Phoenix. I hope they do though!

That is a wonderful idea. All the spells and curses are going to be flying around and that is going to look amazing. The IMAX is a fun way to watch the movies. I saw Goblet of Fire there.

I wish i could see it in IMAX. There is a IMAX theatre near me, but it seems they never released the other Harry Potter movies in IMAX in the UK.
I saw a space movie in imax once, it was so cool. I kept reaching out to touch the 3d space men and women.

Oooh cool. Erm... Maybe it might be worth it then to spend a tad bit more money to catch it on IMAX. I wanted to watch GoF on IMAX but in the end figured that it wasn't really worth it.
hmmm...

Weel - the last 20 minutes is obviously really good, if they're prepared to put it in 3D. How exciting... i need to check out where my nearest IMAX is!

I wonder why they're just doing the last 20 minutes in 3D? It will be cool to see, but it's too bad it's not the entire movie.

Sounds great. The nearest one to me in the UK is the one in Manchester. I might watch in my local cinema first and then if I can afford it, I'll go and watch it at IMAX as well.

That will be amazing. Would love to see that, although the nearest IMAX is in Manchester. It must be the scenes in the Ministry that are in 3D.
