The real question is...
Emma Watson http://www.collegebound.net/blog/wp-...a-watson1g.jpg vs Kristen Stewart http://www.theimproper.com/wp-conten...en-stewart.jpg http://www.totalprotectioninteractiv...ex-poundit.gif |

I'd love to be the meat in their sandwich, wearing a wizard hat and fake vampire teeth but if I had to choose between one, I think I'd have to go for Kristen. Despite her being a moody cow with limited acting ability.

Kristen looks vaguely cross-eyed and has rabbit-ish teeth. Emma all the way. Plus, her English accent is far more charming than that perpetual stoned, disinterested voice Kristen Stewart possesses.

I almost busted out a quick Emma Watson, but god damn they are both ****ing beautiful. In terms of which is better, Harry Potter will forever be the wizardry champion.

I read both Harry Potter and Twilight before they hit mega-popularity.
If we're talking movies, I didn't really like either movie series, though the Harry Potter movies aren't terrible. Just no where near as wonderful as the books. So... If we're talking books, Harry Potter all the way. From age 7, I anxiously waited for the new Harry Potter to come out and devoured it. J K Rowling may have (as a friend in my writing class said) 'become so popular toward the end that her editors thought everything she shat out was gold and didn't touch it' - her ideas were brilliant. If her prose is littered with too many adverbs, her plots were awesome with an excellent balance of whimsy and tragedy. Harry is likeable, flawed and well-developed over the series. Meyer, on the other hand, uses cut-out characters and a lack of imagination, although I admit she caters to her target audience well. PS: Emma Watson is damn attractive. Moreso than Kristen. My votes: Harry Potter and Emma Watson. |

Harry Potter, I hate Twilight with a passion. All three main characters made me want punch them. They were unlikable, and Meyer never developed them.

Is anyone else pumped about the next movie? I am! The book was insane.
I also heard J.K. Rowling has not ruled out more Harry Potter books, yussss! |

Any word on another Matrix trilogy, or another Mad Max? Because that would be icing on the cake. |

So yeah...I'm Team HP. |

And as for the possibility of more books - where did you hear that? I'd love to read more of the books, and was pretty damn depressed when I finished book 7 on the day it came out. |
^I read about it too. She said that she might write an 8th, 9th and 10th book. It was in an interview last month. I still don't know what to think about it though.
Don't want the series to be ruined by redundancy. |

A book from Voldy's point of view? that sounds pretty terrible to me. It'd just ruin all the mystery around him.
Some from Ron or Ginny's or whatever COULD be interesting.... but I really really really don't want her to write more books just for the sake of writing more books, and have them turn out mediocre. Twould put a taste most foul in my mouth. |
Like the Epilogue at the end of the Seventh ruined enough -_-
|
If she did it the way Tolkien did, and wrote about the history of the Wizarding world; I don't know, wrote a story about Dumbledore's youth, or about an alternate school, or about the Order of the Phoenix, or the four original House founders, something like that, I'd be accepting, but as far as I'm concerned, the current story with the current characters is a closed book.
|
^I was thinking about that too. But the thing is, she already wrote books about the History of the Wizardry world, and the Magical Creatures we can encounter there, and they never did count them as a part of the series.
However, I don't have a problem with the Tolkien kind of saga... Like seeing what happened in the Magical World, after some hundred years. |
Yeah that's something that could work. But still..... they're so lovable. Would a book (or series) without Harry and Ron and Hermione and Ginney and Malfoy and Dumbledore and Snape and all them udders really be as good?
|
I mean, it doesn't even have to be missing those characters. She could write about a number of supporting characters. I'd love to read about Sirius and Lupin and James, in highschool or in the Order. Or about Dumbledore as a student. Dumbledore has an amazing history that they barely touched in the books, she could easily go in depth about him or another character the series touched on.
|
Well yeah. It could be a prequel instead of a sequel. But would they still be considered as a part of the 7-part-series.
Anyway, she did say, she won't be writing anything in the next couple of years. So until then. |
I'm all for prequels. She can write as many of them as she wants, but I'd like her to leave the current cast alone and the series of 7 unaffected.
|
I don't know that I'd want to read another Harry Potter. They were great, but I felt the story got a bit tired towards the end, so I'm unconvinced that any new installment could live up to the inevitable hype.
I actually thought the first Twilight movie was OK, but not good enough to make me interested in the sequels. The book was pretty poor; didn't like the characters and the dialogue was horribly clunky. The prose wasn't great, either. |
I just wouldn't read a Twilight Book because I just don't really like the whole plot and drama of this series. Harry Potter on the other hand is actually pretty interesting. I think I had like the first four books, but I just read the first two because I don't have the attention span to complete the later books. These days, I wouldn't read either of them, but I would much rather watch a Harry Potter movie than Twilight.
Plus, vampires suck. (I'm not trying to be funny, they do suck.) |
I think vampires can and have been done well, but they've been past their sell-by date for a while now. I suppose the Twilight craze could be the final nail in the coffin for serious portrayals, but I doubt it. Much like vampires themselves, the concept refuses to die.
|
With all the success that Twilight had, I don't think that Vampire movies or shows will stop anytime soon, it's the same concept, but just with a slightly altered story and new faces. A waste of time if you ask me.
