Since I'd not read the books before the first film came out, I wait and read the books after the movies. That way the movies are fresh. The books add to the enjoyment, with greater detail later, rather than missing things from the book when I see the movie.

Tell him anything that gets the fundamentalists all up in arms can't be that bad! Talk about him behind his back with your friends. He'll never know and it can be fun for everyone!

They moved it because the writer's strike left them without a big tentpole movie for the Summer. They then justified it, saying we (the fans) won't have to wait as long between HBP and the first part of 'Deathly Hallows.
