Let me put it like this. In one part of Twilight, Edward gives Bella a C-Section. With his teeth. With his effing TEETH.
Hary potter FTW.

Twilight is a cute love story but to much whining and me me me feel sorry for me. Harry Potter more action and wishing I could do some of the stuff he can do...

WHAT THE ****?

what!!

They're not really comparable, except for fantasy aspects but uh, Harry Potter. Rowling and Meyer aren't really going for the same audience for me. I'm thinking Meyer wrote her books to make money, ain't no shame in her game. She knew her public and wrote what they'd like, I'm not really fussy. The Twilight series isn't my cup of tea but I'm not her target audience.

On that note, I'd like to say if Meyer really likes the garbage she writes, oh my god, she needs to be stabbed. But eh, I'm not a fan of either series but I've read enough HP to know Rowling tries.

Esaul 02-09-2010 12:17 AM

It's like comparing apples and oranges. In my mind, I wouldn't even put them in the same genre (ask me what, I couldn't tell you, but still...)

Harry Potter has more depth to the book, I had more of a connection with this series versus Twilight. And plus, Harry Potter had several good plot lines that intrigued me, and had a lot of people thinking what would happen once the final book came out. Twilight on the other hand, paper-thin plot line as well as characters. The only thing good about it was muscle-boy and pale-skinned face for all the girls out there. I enjoyed reading the books, but they were poorly written, in my opinion, once you get passed the whole brooding vampire and jealous wolf-boy factor. (Actually I'm a guy anyway, so I didn't have to get passed that at all to realize how terrible the books were written. But oh well.)

FETCHER. 02-09-2010 09:07 AM

I think Twilight is a girls book, whereas Harry Potter seems to be for both sexes, the character of Bella is pretty transparent in Twilight and it gives you the feeling that you are her. Therefore makes it a females book. That's my opinion though, I've never read Harry Potter that's just the impression I get.

Scissorman 02-10-2010 10:21 AM

OMG my life sucks. Ever since I moved to Forks I have been miserable. My father, who I call Charlie, bought me a car, all the boys in school are drooling over me, even though I know I'm average looking, all the girls want to be my friend and everyone laughs at my unfunny jokes. Things could not possibly get any worse. My life is so dark and depressing. xD

Lizard Queen 02-10-2010 10:27 AM

I have the attention span of a gnat and I dislike Harry Potter because there are too many characters.
Plus I'm a girl so of course Twilight appeals to me more. I've read all the books (surprisingly they held my attention) they were entertaining although I agree that Stephanie Meyer is a terrible writer.

The people who really hate twilight are just as annoying as the ones who really love it.

I know I am. :D but hating girly books is much more fun than loving them, that is if you are a guy :D

That wasn't directed at you y'know. It was just this thread was turning into a big "WE HATE TWILIGHT" place.

Urban Hat€monger ? 02-10-2010 03:48 PM

As far as i'm concerned people can read whatever the hell they like.

I mean if you want to pigeonhole people who read these books as being one thing that's fine, just don't complain when I pigeonhole people who read stuff like Dostoevsky or Camus as being pretentious fucks.

There's always going to be passionate haters. You can't win really. :laughing:

storymilo 02-10-2010 07:37 PM

Twilight is like Tool or Neutral Milk Hotel... the fans are the most annoying part.

Janszoon 02-10-2010 08:06 PM

I've read the Harry Potter books and liked them. I've seen most of the Harry Potter movies and I mostly liked them. I saw the Twilight movie a few days ago and it was boring as hell, disjointed and felt like it was made for TV.

boo boo 02-11-2010 08:47 AM

I can never hate Twilight because I avoid anything that has to do with it. I do that because I know I will hate it.

Scissorman 02-11-2010 10:29 AM

You can't just ignore Twilight if you get dragged into it. I can't help hating it.

MusicForEveryone 02-11-2010 11:50 AM

Twilight makes me mad. They have taken one of the coolest things, vampires, and made them into stupid glittering fools. I've never read any of the books but the first movie was enough to make me hate everything about Twilight. I have read an excerpt from the book though, and I have to agree that the author is a crappy writer. Her writing style is just cheesy.

I have read the Harry Potter books when they first came out and I thoroughly enjoyed them. But I didn't enjoy the first movie so I never bothered watching any more of them.

FETCHER. 02-11-2010 01:46 PM

This glittering thing has been blown way out of perspective. He's glistening :rolleyes:.

lulz.

The glittering makes no sense though.

Course neither does the rest of the series.

FETCHER. 02-11-2010 02:32 PM

Well when you think about it logically, what sense does half of Harry Potter make? They're both far fetched. Not to stick up for Twilight but I feel like nobody else is so I'm making up for the other side of the team haha.

Harry Potter at least has a sort of fleshed out world and such. It actually seems relatively (key word) plausible.

Twilight gives like no explanation for anything...

FETCHER. 02-11-2010 02:47 PM

Yeah I completely understand and agree, but both still mix the fantasy world with reality. Which makes it more difficult to point out an explanation, I think anyways.

haha... sorry, that's the part I pick on most because it made me burst out laughing during that scene.

I don't mean to offend people who do like it. I guess I'm just annoyed at how I'm bombarded with Twilight this and Twilight that everywhere I turn - like it's almost being forced down my throat.

I think that boils down to what Stephen King (I think) said. About how Rowling is a better writer than Meyer.

FETCHER. 02-11-2010 02:59 PM

Absolutely about being bombarded by it, I by no means love it. I like it, just as I like other films. I was in Asda with a male friend the other week and I was looking at a dvd and clocked a dvd underneath it called ROBSESSED. about robert pattinson obviously. I was sickened. So was my friend.

It's amazing how this kid's life totally changed overnight. I almost feel sorry for him.

FETCHER. 02-11-2010 03:07 PM

Same, but then again Daniel Radcliffe isn't exactly getting peace eh? Poor boys. Can barely leave the house without some sort of female attention. It'd be great at first I imagine, but after a while you'd get sick to death of it.

boo boo 02-11-2010 03:11 PM

Harry Potter's fantasy world is a very well fleshed out one, not as well as Tolkien's but whatever.

Twilight seems to have no depth to it at all, just a vampire love story for pre-teen girls, it's like these books should just be in the romance section alongside all those books with Fabio on the cover. Abandon all hope for creativity, ye who enter here.

It's not that a vampire love story can't work, Lost Boys was a damn good movie, Twilight seems to have taken the basic idea and switch the gender roles... oh, and it does away with all that lame stuff like likable characters, vampires that are actually intimidating and the love angle actually being interesting.

Yah. Totally.

I would never want that for myself. It would be an absolute nightmare to be followed and photographed everywhere I went. I value my privacy too much.

Scissorman 02-11-2010 04:06 PM

I would probably lose my popularity the moment I got it, because I know I would lose my temper and yell at the obsessed fans and journalists that follow me around

Yeah. I hate it when everybody starts referring to celebrities by their first name.

It's like how Britney Spears officially killed the name Britney.
