‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’ Gets the 3D IMAX Treatment

OK, so Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince won’t be released now until next summer. But the good news is that, when it finally is released on July 17, there will be sections shown in 3-D for those who see it on Imax screens. 

What bits will zoom out into the audience? Empire’s sources say that 25 minutes, total, will be in 3D, which will be split between the opening and the finale. They are guessing that it’s Voldemort’s attacks and the Astronomy Tower showdown.

Now, since there are a whole bunch of months left before the release, I can only hope for one thing: 3D Spectrespecs. Yeah, it would take some work, but it’s completely fitting for the film and infinitely cooler than those plain purple plastic things. It’s the perfect, most suitable promotion for the film, and it seems wrong to wear the old-school 3D glasses as Luna dons her own superior pair.
