I've not read the books, indeed - I'll probably read the lot when the series is complete; that way I won't have the problem of forgetting what's going on while waiting for the next book comes out.
I didn't find the latest film particularly hard to follow. For instance, the OOTP themselves were obviously carrying out a campaign of some kind off-screen; it was clear from the start that they were deliberately shielding the main viewpoint character from things so it wasn't surprising that we didn't get much of the detail.
To pick another example I assumed that Harry blanked Cho because of her betrayal, not knowing she'd been (magically) drugged. There might be a different reason in the book but that didn't stop the apparent reason in the film making sense.
