With Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 scoring big box office all over the globe at the weekend, Warner Bros. has announced 3D plans for the previous films in the franchise.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "All of the Potter pics will be converted to 3D for limited theatrical re-release and a big push in the Blu-ray disc home entertainment format."

As for why it will be limited, Warners' domestic distribution president Dan Fellman says "I don't think a wide theatrical re-release could sustain the costs of a modern marketing campaign."

The studio had planned to release Deathly Hallows: Part 1 in 3D, but changed their mind when it became clear that there would be insufficient time to covert the film properly. Part 2 will still hit in the format next summer however.
