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.

Despite lack of boobs, id still rather go with Emma than that stupid bitch with no talent. now if Emma got plastic sugery, i'd be EXTREMELY happy. :tramp:

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.

Vespertine 10-13-2010 02:08 AM

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.

When was that? I recall Harry Potter being mega-popular from the first book.

I don't know man. I could see myself waking up next to Emma in a penthouse suite, and for the other broad, in a motel six, with six used condoms, and her dead with a needle in her arm. She has that 'could be hot if she didn't look so trashy look'

Filth >>>>>> penthouse class.

I read the first Harry Potter book in '98, just when The Chamber of Secrets came out and it had a relatively small section in the bookstore. I recall the series becoming incredibly popular around 2000 when The Goblet of Fire came out and the movie was announced.

Say something that's valid and hasn't already been said. Your argument is getting old. Yes yes emostreet, because presumably I thought you would been able to relate to bella in all those extraordinary tales you tell. I'm taken aback that you can't. Please construct valid points instead of petty arguments. It's like the blind leading the ****ing blind in here.

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.

Haha i see where your coming from. And I Just realized what a poor choice of words I had. "I almost busted out a quick Emma Watson"

Scarlett O'Hara 10-14-2010 04:15 AM

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!

Where did you see this? My impression was that it was a set number of books. I was pretty sad after finishing the series. Make that devastated.

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

I loved that - and the video response this notorious fan-girl of Twilight made in response to him [I don't remember her name, the account, or details, but I remember 'who is he? What the hell has he written anyway?' being choice words]

So yeah...I'm Team HP.

I can scarcely contain my enthusiasm about the next movie; I don't think the movies are works of cinematic brilliance by any means, but going to the midnight showing of each movie, costumed, is a tradition for me. I just bought five tix for the midnight showing today!

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.

NumberNineDream 10-20-2010 12:48 PM

^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.

Meyer intentionally left Bella as a blank slate so that young girls could more easily insert themselves into her role.

I think I would hate for this to happen. Films and novels that are written outside of the original plan are rarely any good.

I heard about it too, and if she writes more books i dont think she should do any more on harry's adult life as he gets older, but i think it might be cool to sorta rewrite the series from Voldemort's point of view (before i got banned from potterforums.com we were having a debate on whether we thought it should be about Harry's and Ginny's kids or Voldys side). I always love to see the inside of the antagonists mind. I feel if it went on to tell the story of the kids, it'd just be Hogwarts life and whatever, nothing interesting, even if she decided to make one of the death eaters step up to be the new Dark Lord it'd just be a complete repeat of books 1-7

storymilo 10-21-2010 04:14 PM

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.

NumberNineDream 10-21-2010 04:31 PM

Like the Epilogue at the end of the Seventh ruined enough -_-

Paedantic Basterd 10-21-2010 05:20 PM

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.

NumberNineDream 10-21-2010 05:41 PM

^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.

storymilo 10-21-2010 06:21 PM

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?

Paedantic Basterd 10-21-2010 06:26 PM

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.

NumberNineDream 10-21-2010 06:30 PM

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.

Paedantic Basterd 10-21-2010 06:31 PM

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.

The 7th Has Drowned Thee 10-23-2010 11:19 PM

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.

Insane Guest 10-23-2010 11:30 PM

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.)

The 7th Has Drowned Thee 10-23-2010 11:54 PM

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.

Insane Guest 10-24-2010 12:04 AM

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.
