Very cool. :D I love seeing the movies at the IMAX. It really is the ultimate experience.
I wonder what would be in 3D though.... Meh, I'm sure it'll be great either way. :)

That is great news! OOTP was great in IMAX with 3D. It added that extra touch that made the battle scene so much more realistic. It really brought the scene to life. Can't wait for Half Blood Prince!

You know...I have NEVER seen a movie in an IMAX theater, and none the less a Harry Potter movie. I really want to see it since they say it's like ten times better, maybe I'll get my butt out there this year???

I've never seen an IMAX movie.
I guess I'll just have to wait until they come out with halographic movies. That should be really something to see, especially in a home theater setting.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

It is absolutely necessary that HBP be available in IMAX theatres. It's a given... it shouldn't even be available in regular theatres anymore ( well... yes it should since there isn't an IMAX theatre near me)

This is fantastic news to hear! I will definitely have to reserve tickets in advance in order to attend the earliest showing. All the scenes to be shown in 3-D are going to be undoubtedly spectacular.

No surprise here! The ONLY way to see HP is on IMAX! If you haven't seen any of the movies on IMAX before, be sure you do for HBP... it is so worth it! And to know that DH will be in two parts - most likely in IMAX - priceless!!
