I'll be getting it, but not because it is a good series. I started reading the series in 4th or 5th grade (I can't remember which), and I just feel the need to at least finish it. However, as my knowledge and understanding of literature grew as I aged, I quickly realized how simply and badly written the book are, as well as how two dimensional the characters have become. Despite this, the Harry Potter series has helped a lot with intelligence and literacy in kids, but I don't see how an adult could stomach these books without having first stepped into the realm into the realm as a child.
Her last book seemed like a really long fanfiction; I hope her next book is at least a little better.
Also, I need to avoid 4chan before it comes out, as I went there a week before the last book came out and it was filled with GIFs of snape dancing to a "Snape kills Dumbledore!" declaration.

About 80 times better. The movies are worth watching just because, but they're nothing spectacular.

Yes. I've read the whole series so far, and seen the movies (after reading the books). For the record, my teenage years are (too) far behind me.
$12.82 pre-ordered from Buy.com with Google Check Out. Although I just saw a FW thread title touting a $10 price.
***** SPOILER ALERT *****
Snape gets a sex change, and elopes with Harry! Their hate-hate relationship turns into a love-hate relationship!
