3D is quickly moving from a novelty to standard format. Next to get the 3 dimensional treatment may be Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision blog says Warner Bros. will release the next two Harry Potter films in 3D. The studio has been testing footage from its upcoming Clash of the Titans — converted into 3D by an outside vendor — and the tests have reportedly gone so well that execs have decided to take it to Hogwarts.

The official announcement that the Clash of the Titans conversion release will go ahead has yet to be made but one is expected by week’s end. Neither is there official word on the Potter pics, so it’s all technically in the realm of rumour for now.

The expense of transferring to 3D is coming down and the number of 3D movie screens is growing. There will still not be enough screens, however, by the time Titans emerges in April to release it entirely in 3D. Still, executives have pushed the release back a week and believe this will give enough time to establish enough screens in major markets. Heat Vision reports that this will be less of a problem by the time the first Deathly Hallows instalment comes out in November.

It’s likely only a matter of time before most action or adventure movies get an extra dimension. THR muses that a 3D James Bond could be on the horizon. Other recent rumours include a 3D Spider-Man, a 3D Saw, and a 3D Gremlins 3.

Clash of the Titans is scheduled for April 2. Deathly Hallows: Part I is set to hit screens November 19, and Part II is slotted for July 15, 2011.
