For me, the issue is whether there is any addition risk simply by visiting a site which does not have https because as soon as you visit any website you are downloading content, and from what you have indicated, there is no difference as all https does is encrypt data sent between user and site and vice versa to stop sone else from seeing what you are doing and what data is being transferred. Correct?
Bascically yes, the contents could be malicious though. Just because it uses HTTPS does not mean you are safe at all.
