Deathly Hallows maybe in 3D
Warner Brother's has announced its plans to release the next two Harry Potter films in 3D. Based on the overwhelming popularity of films such as "Avatar", the studio will spend the additional $5 million dollars to supply the 3D glasses.

Warner Brothers is trying to secure its place in the 3D market with films such as the remake, "Titans". Its prospected revenue jumps from $200 million to $245 million, based on the release of "300".

The article incorrectly states that "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was the first Potter film to brave the foray of the 3D universe, but it was "Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix" that was released in 3D.

For further reading, please see the article at Rueters.

    AOL Moviefone names Prisoner of Azkaban one of the "Best Movies Ever"
    AOL Moviefone has released a list detailing what they believe are the best films of the decade, and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban takes 10th place:

    During his third year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) learns that Lord Voldemort's acolyte Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) has escaped Azkaban prison with an eye toward making Harry's "Boy That Lived" moniker an overstatement. No worries, Harry's friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermoine Granger (Emma Watson) are on hand to help him sort out the shifting allegiances -- and shapes! -- in a tale where nothing is as it seems. Darker than the first two Potter films, to legions of fans the third installment of J.K. Rowlings' juggernaut may or may not be the best of the bunch; but, really, what Muggle wouldn't enjoy this.

    Well Prisoner of Azkaban was not the most commercially successful Harry Potter movie like Philosopher's Stone, Order of the Phoenix and the latest Half-Blood Prince. But AOL seems to have chosen their favourite Harry Potter movie and I too find Prisoner of Azkaban the best. It is one Harry Potter movie which you watch again and again with the same amount of enthusiasm like you did the first time.

If you would like to see in better quality, then wait till 8th.
