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's cool. If the last 20 minutes of the movie includes fighting at the MoM, that would probably be really fun to see in 3D. Unfortunately, the nearest IMAX theater to me is about an hour away, so I doubt I'll be seeing it. :(

Is seeing a movie in 3D very good. I saw part of a movie in 3D once and everything was discolored. I hope to be seeing this in Imax but I want to see it in a quality version.

That sounds so cool. I would love to see a Harry Potter movie in 3D but I don't know if the IMAX close to me will play it or not.

This is an excellent idea, which I hope will not sum up to 20 minutes of The Order of the Phoenix. How about quidditch in 3D? I don't know where to find an IMAX theatre in France, maybe the Futuroscope will try the experience?

The 3D sounds really cool, but I'll probably never get to see it, there aren't any IMAX theaters near me.
The new poster looks AWESOME! I hope they release it in hi-res soon.

Nice poster! They look very serious, almost angry. They may be looking at Umbridge. :)

I bet it will turn out good, but I hope they don't ruin the ending by trying to do too much. Plus them wierd glasses really hurt your eyes....

Imagine watching the Triwizard Tournament in 3D, I wish they'd done the 4th in 3D instead of the 5th.
