LOS ANGELES (AP) - The new “Harry Potter” film won’t be as dimensional as it was supposed to be.

Warner Bros. Studios says the seventh installment in the popular boy-wizard franchise will be released only in standard 2-D, not 3-D as planned.

The studio said in a statement Friday that it was unable to complete the 3-D conversion of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1” in time for its scheduled Nov. 19 release date, and it didn’t want to keep fans waiting.
