I was a huge TwiHard. It began in about May 2008 (one of my best friends had told me how good it was) so I bought Twilight after school one day. I read it in about 3 days, and immediately bought the second. And the third. For the rest of the year that's all my friends and I could talk about.
When the summer hit, everyone was excited because Breaking Dawn was coming out in August. To be honest, I never bought it until 8 months later. Throughout the rest of the summer and through September I was thinking, "is the book worth buying?" (I had barely any money, and didn't intend to waste it on anyone one book.) Finally, I decided I would just borrow it from a friend. And I finally DID borrow it - in November.
Oh yeah, I was obsessed with the movie, too. When it finally came out on March 20th (the Saturday before my birthday) I got it as my birthday present, and for two weeks straight that was what I watched directly after school. By that time my whole family was getting sooooo tired of Twilight (Except for my mom, who has YET to read Breaking Dawn). So yeah, I was OBSESSED.
Then, in the summer of '09, I read Harry Potter for the first time. I had a very bad ear infection, and my mom felt so bad for me she checked out the first book for me (she knew I'd wanted to read it for a while). I'd seen the movies, and thought they were cool - but nothing special. Boy, was I wrong. I was very surprised when I finished the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone and discovered I was actually sad that I didn't have the next one. A couple days later, I got the next few books, and read them in 3 days. That was when I realized I was officially over Twilight. After all four Twilight books, not ONE of them got me as excited as I got when Harry won the Quidditch Championship in Prisoner of Azkaban.
And when you're more excited about a QUIDDITCH GAME than you are about an entire book series, that's pretty sad.
And then I checked out TwilightSucks . com to see what it was about, and got converted to a semi-anti. I'm not a complete anit though - I still read the Twilight books from time to time when I'm really bored, to see how many times Bella uses the word "chagrin" (It's a lot, by the way.) But Harry Potter will always be better.
Hope I didn't bore you too much with my story. :)
