Harry Potter's Fate and the Future Movies

 I'm in a quandary.  I have the last Harry Potter book on order, but I'm reluctant to read it.  The book is usually better than the movies, but in the case of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling has done such an excellent job of overseeing the production that the movies match the quality of the books.

Now I've read all the past books prior to seeing the movie version, but with the hints from J.K. Rowling that two characters will die and one will get a reprieve, I'm wondering if my enjoyment of the future two movies will be hampered by that fact.  I wish the movie release time-line had kept up with the book releases.

Fortunately the movie release of "The Order Of the Phoenix" is only 12 days away as of this writing and the last book due to be released on July 21st.  The movie may turn out to be better than the book.  "The Order Of the Phoenix" is my least favorite book of the series so far in that Harry Potter was such a whiney git as he experienced typical teenage angst.

Now if you haven't read the Half Blood Prince, stop reading further.    I'm sure I'll be giving some thought to the traitorous Professor Snipe and the death of Dumbledore as I watch the new release, but that will not even compare to what I'll be thinking watching the final two movies if one of the three protagonists (Harry, Ron, or Hermione) dies in the final book.
