Warner Bros. issued a statement this afternoon announcing it had scrapped efforts to convert the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to 3-D, claiming it didn't have enough time to adequately complete the process before the film's Nov. 19 release date. "Despite everyone's best efforts, we were unable to convert the film in its entirety and meet the highest standards of quality," the statement read. Meanwhile producer David Heyman reasserted his commitment to the "integrity" of J.K. Rowling's source material; director David Yates added: ""This decision, which we completely support, underscores the fact that Warner Bros. has always put quality first." Except for Clash of the Titans, but hey. Accidents happen. [Warner Bros.]
