I would rather read than watch. The only upside to watching is you can snuggle with your significant other and whatnot, but reading beats that. You can take it wherever, stop when needed, and your mind actually gets a workout. I have reserved Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and am going to the midnight launch party this friday with a friend (hopefully).
As for the movie, I thought it was very good. While I hated Umbridge in the books, I actually liked her character in the movies. Luna is cool as ever, even though her voice is hard to listen to. I with they would've fleshed out the action in the Ministry rather than skipping it all.
Speaking of the movies, has anyone noticed that since the second movie where the actor who played Dumbledore died, Dumbledore has lost what made him Dumbledore? The new actor is rather...aggressive - all the time. Like how he threw Harry on his ass in the Ministry when he was fighting Tom.
Regardless, great books, good movies. Win win, in my opinion.
