Harry Potter Vs. Twilight Question

If you're a Harry Potter fan, what is one thing you hate about Harry Potter? If you're a Twilight fan, what's one thing you hate about Twilight?

Honestly, I don't really like Emma Watson playing Hermionie. I like the character, but Watson isn't that good of an actress.

Emma is my fave actree now stfu

I didn't like the whole Harry/Ginny thing... at all. It was like, "Oh. Harry needs a love interest! What about Ginny?"

Also... "the furry little monster growling in Harry's chest"?

Hate is a strong word, I dont think I hate anything about HP... Probably the only thing I dislike, is the added scenes in the movies that weren't in the books. The books are perfection, the relationships, everything. Love them.

I'm a fan of both.

I don't really hate anything about Harry Potter. Though I do dislike some things about it. I personally think Neville should have ended up with Luna and Draco end up with Pansy.

What I hate about Twilight is the Edward and Bella relationship. It's unhealthy, obsessive, and they don't really talk about anything besides Edward's family/immortality, Bella's safety, and how much they "love" each other. I also hate the masculinist themes, imprinting especially. And haven't you noticed, the female vampires' abilities are always limited while the male vampires can usually do more. I also don't like how Bella is almost worshipped at her school, though she doesn't really deserve it, which is kinda' why I have an interest in Lauren Mallory, who knows, she might even hate Bella because of the unmerited hospitality Bella receives. I also hate how it seems to encourage teen marriage/pregnancy, since I strongly oppose that. The die-hard fangirls also ruin it.

Well, do you mean books or movies?
Book wise, I hated the relationships and the horcruxes. I also hated Goblet of Fire.

Movie wise, I have a few peeves (mostly acting choices and directing choices):
David Yates (admittedly, he didn't do a shoddy job on DHprt1)
Micheal Gambon
Brenden Gleeson
Lack of Severus in HBP (actually, lack of Severus in every HP movie)
The memories in the pensive in OotP
and Goblet of Fire.

Oh, I like Micheal Gambon. I agree with the Severus thing. HBP concerned him mostly, and I hated how he was hardly in the other movies. The Prince's Tale won't be as teary for the ones who haven't read the books. GoF - I just didn't like how Barty Crouch Jr. wasn't explained properly and the different tasks weren't as exciting. The memory of Snape getting made fun of was also short and not really done the way it could have been. David Yates, compared to Chris, was an improvement, but I agree with you again. I am curious, though: why didn't you like Brenden?:)
DracoLuver posted over a year ago
*
Hm, I think I phrased it wrong. I don't have a problem with Micheal or Brenden as actors in general, I just don't think they were right for their parts. Micheal, to me, does not give off that "wizend mentor, fatherly" air that book Dumbledore had. He's much more agressive (I don't just mean the weird attacking Harry thing in GoF, but in his mannerisms in general) than I ever thought of Dumbledore being. Brenden is very funny and quirky, and while I love that about him as an actor in general, that isn't the overly cautious, paranoid Moody from the books. Despite the fact that he directed my least favorite Harry Potter movie (that may have to do with the fact it was my least favorite book) I didn't mind Mike too much. But, yeah, David is definitely better than Chris.

Twilight fan.

with the movies, I think the directing was horrible. Many blame the actors, but I've seen other K.S. movies and she's not a bad actress at all. I haven't seen any R.P. movies, so I can't comment on his talent. The other main actors I've seen in other projects and none of them are bad.
Because the first director set the character standards, the following directors were forced to keep them bored and stiff so to not change the mood too much.
That's my theory, at least.

The books, too many hyphens. Commas would work better in many cases.

The actual story, Bella exaggerates too much about the things she hates, and she hates a lot of things. I hated how in the beginning, out of nowhere, he tells Bella they can't be friends. I would feel insulted if someone I don't know decided to tell me he doesn't want to be my friend. I would have prefered if there was more of a reason for him to say that.

"Holy Crow" is pretty annoying too.

JK Rowling specifically wanted all the kids to be British, but since she was the director's daughter, so yeah. I would have also liked to see more of Fred, George, and Draco in the movies.

I love everything about Harry Potter except how the Slytherin's are portrayed. By being ambitious and cunning you are placed in Slytherin House. And the books portray those people as mean and sometimes evil. In the first book before Harry's Sorting is says that hey looked an 'unpleasant lot'. It irritates me that those qualities make you 'unpleasant'. Although JK said in an interview this is because you are seeing only the Death eaters' children. But I love everything else about HP!

PotterForever said:
Book Wise: I didn't like how she jumped abruptly from the battle to the epilouge. As soon as they win the battle, all the sudden it's nineteen years later, it was jarring. I wish she had an extra chapter in there describing the aftermath ect. I'd also have to agree with some other people about the romance. Although I didn't think it was terrible, it could have been handled better.

Movie Wise: All the movies starting with Goblet of Fire should have been in two parts. The books became too long for a two-hour movie to really do them justice.

The burning the burrow scene from HBP. I'm left wondering what the point of this scene was. It didn't happen in the book, and it didn't add to the movie's plot in anyway. It seemed odd and pointless.

posted over a year ago

exactly my opinion. I'm still wondering about the burning, too. I've read somewhere that it was added to show the day-to-day danger, but I still don't get it. I don't really adore the movies HBP and OotP and although I never thought about splitting them into two movies each, I like the idea. Maybe it would have helped the movies quality. However, I'm glad to see at least the last book in two parts.
Aquamarina posted over a year ago

Yes, I also heard they added it to show the day to day danger, but the scene felt out of place. It didn't really do anything for the overall plot.

^I agree completely with the battle. I wish there was an extra chapter afterward, before the epilogue, that really showed everyone's reaction after the war. I don't mean like the long ones JKR usually writes; just a few pages would have been fine by me.

Harry Potter all the way.
But talking of negatives, the epilogue was very much inadequate. No mention of their professions, and about Luna, George and the other Weasleys, and nothing about Hogwarts at all, except for Neville being the Herbology teacher. That was not cool at all.
Romance was alright. I'm OK with the chemistry b/w Harry and Ginny, and Ron and Hermione, even more pleased with Teddy and Victoire. But there was nothing about Draco's family, not even who his wife was. That was not cool too.
And the death of Sirius was not fair too. I wouldn't have minded much if he had died in the war of Hogwarts, but in the Order of the Phoenix? He had barely two peaceful years with Harry after his long imprisonment in Azkaban. Fred's death was like a heavy blow. Dobby's death was not so terrible in the book, but it was in the movie. It made me cry so much.
And about the movies, Prisoner of Azkaban was a total failure, except for a bit of decent emotion b/w Sirius and Harry. I didn't like Order of the Phoenix much, it could have been a lot more than just that. DH Part 1 lacked a good lot of emotion, especially with Hedwig's death. It was almost like Harry was cool with her death, and there was a lot of emotion missing when it came to Mad-eye's death and George's ear too. The trio was amazing, though. Made me envy them for that precious friendship.
The episode at the Ministry was a bit too Rushed too. That was certainly not adorable. But the Ron-Hermione interactions were funny and as original as they were in the book. :)
And I agree that Ian McKellen could have been a better Dumbledore. But I was not so impressed with Ginny being portrayed by Bonnie Wright, from the start. I like her alright, but surely there must be some girl more apt for that role?
Once again, the trio (RED)did and awesome job.

In Harry Potter DHpt1, I got annoyed that they didn't go into Luna's bedroom. I thought that was an awesome part of the story.]
For those of you that don't know, the trio are supposed to go into Luna Lovegood's bedroom, and see her paintings of them and Ginny and Neville. I thought that was a development in Luna, and showed just how important the others were to Luna.

Also, the way the Ginny and Harry Romance worked in the film was TERRIBLE. I liked the bit when she asked him to zip her dress, but that was mostly because of George.
To be fair though, I found their relationship wasn't as strong as it could have been in both books and film. It was like she had a proper crush on him, and he wasn't interested. Then he got with Cho. Then he wanted Ginny, and she was with someone else. Then they got together. WTH? x

These all have to do with the movies:

I hate how in DH part 1 when Nagini attcks Harry in Bathilda Bagshots house then he bursts into his nursery at his parents house and then he gets up and gets out of there without seeing anything. This was majorly disappointing, as I was somewhat looking forward to see how Lily's and James death's would be portrayed in the movie.

Next, in the book and the movie (but mainly the movie) Hedwig dies and Harry doesn't seem to show much emotion for Hedwig. An owl he's had for something like 6 years.

Also, when Mad eye has been killed. No emotion what so ever.

I was also looking extremely forward to Kreachers tale. But damn David Yates seem to make it...boring. When I read the tale in the book, my eyes started becomeing watery and all, but in the theater I...yawned. It was that bad.

Moving back to Goblet of Fire, they totally took Dobby and the kitchens out of the movie. I wanted to kill the director for that. I mean, Dobby is a great character and they replaced him with Neville. I like Neville, but they shouldn't have replaced Dobby with him. Dobby, was the one who gave Harry gillyweed in the book, as well as turning up for Christmas, with Harry and Ron giving Dobby presents. When they missed Dobby it just made me so mad!

That's all I can think of at the moment.

I am a fan of both series. Since HP fans are in majority here, I will start with that. I don't have many complaints with the books. I think the romantic relationships could have been developed better. The pairings themselves don't bother me though. I always thought Ron would be with Hermione, and it is a nice connection with Ron to have Ginny with Harry. It in effect makes them brothers. My only complaint with the movies was that there is not nearly enough Snape in any of them, particularly HBP which is really his story!

On the Twilight front, I like the books far better than the movies. My main issue with the books is Bella's obsession with Edward. This isn't just love, she can't get through 3 hours a day without the guy! I am married to a military man who is gone for months at a time! One can not be thrown into despondency just because they can't be with their lover 24/7! Edward's obsession is somewhat easier for me to understand. He has waited a very long time to feel romantically toward ANYONE and then the person he falls for is unbelievably fragile, at least from his perspective.

As for the movies, Twilight itself is pretty bad. Most of the scenes that show the building of Edward and Bella's relationship in the book are missing from the movie. I also hate KS as Bella. She is not soft or vulnerable. She is all angles and her acting is very flat. New Moon was a big improvement over the first movie.

I hate the b&w housing system of Harry Potters. JKR clearly tried to cover it up later by softening the stereotypes and moulding the characters but it doesn't change the fact that the houses are basically like this:

Gryffindor= The good, brave, awesome teacher's favorites
Slytherin= The mean bullies who only want to make everyone else's life difficult
Hufflepuffs=The stupid ones
Rawenclaw= All of the nerds, except for Hermione.

Obviously the houses are an important part of the story and I wouldn't want them out of the story, but I don't like them being so stereotypical. Most people have more sides than just one, and also, they might be VERY different as people when they're 11 years old than when they're, say, 16!
