What was worse for you as a book first reader vs a film first then book after reader? (Character deaths)

I’m currently reading the HP book series after watching the films (pretty much obsessively on repeat lol) since childhood when they first came out.

I’m on HBP and one thing that that’s been quite torturous when reading is knowing certain characters are going to die, with me feeling slightly sadder reading their last interactions with Harry on the lead up to them being killed.

Right now I’m where Harry confesses to Dumbledore that he’s his man through and through while speaking about his Christmas convo with Rufus Scrimgeour and Dumbledore tearing up.

So my question is this to both people who read the books first, and to the few of us who watched the films first, then read the books, which was worse?

Reading these interactions, then reflecting on them after the character’s already died?

Or knowing the whole time that they’re going to die having seen the films previously, and reading these interactions on the lead up to their passing?

I know that I’m probably just being oversensitive to this as I’ve just lost someone. I started reading the OoTP and HBP in the lead up to a loved one’s passing so maybe it’s just hitting differently than it would otherwise lol. I don’t remember feeling as emotional about Cedric, though that may have also been because he’s not as big a character as the others who are killed.
