How Twilight and Harry Potter can't really be compared...

posted by TheCiaranTaylor

So I have heard/read a LOT of arguments over this topic, and I find it ridiculous. Here are some reasons why they can't be compared with each other:

1- Writing styles. Rowling writes in a descriptive third-person, whereas Meyer writes in a first-person account of a seventeen year old girl. You can't expect Bella to talk like a professional poet of some sort, I doubt many average teenage girls do that.

2- Plot. Harry Potter is mainly about wizards and fighting. Twilight is about Vampires and romance... Totally the same (Major burning sarcasm).

3- Audience. Harry Potter is aimed for children. Before the whole nagging about "It's suitable for everyone" You are liars! Babies cannot read, toddlers cannot read and so many others cannot read. Don't lie. Twilight is mainly aimed at teenagers and young adults.

4- Characters. None of them are alike, not a thing in common. They are all unique in their own ways.

5- Message. Twilight is basically a message of love in all forms (diversity love?). Harry Potter is about friendship.

These are a few of so many reasons why they can't actually be compared. They are too different. If anyone has any more points, please reply. It shall be fun to attempt some kind of bridges being built between the fans. It would be nice to be friendly with each other, and have kind discussions about the books/movies together.

hatelarxene Um... about the audience... Can't adults read? Also, I think you got the messages mixed up. Twilight is about love (obsessive and possessive love, actually. I don't know how to consider that "real" love...), while Harry Potter is about love in all forms. Love between families (Lily and James's love for Harry; Arthur and Molly's love for Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, Charlie, and Bill, etc.), love between friends (love between Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Ginny, Neville, etc.), and romantic love (romance between Harry and Ginny, Ron and Hermione, etc.). You're saying that an entire series based on LOVE doesn't have love?? I think you got the messages mixed up. Twilight isn't a message of love in all forms. No way. Lol. If you got that from reading Twilight, that's actually really funny. Also, about the audience. I think you're being really biased.

ArcticWolf They are both one of the most popular book series out right now (along with Hunger Games), and that's why a lot of people like to compare them. I see it as a perfectly acceptable reason, but I guess that's just me. I also agree with hatelarxene.

totalpotterfan babies and toddlers might not be able to read but the books can be read to them if they like it!!!

tsmith120 They were both book series to begin with, both about teenagers, both have fantasy elements in some form or another, both written around the same time and had films about them being released shortly after... They have A LOT in common when you think about it. And you can compare them quite easily.

cassie-1-2-3 You know, contrasting is also comparing. You can't have one without the other.

ginnyweasley99 Harry potter is about love too. Just a different kind.

Allies57 Harry Potter is all about love, Twilight is about selfish obsessions.

gondorwarrior I would like to tell you that when my brother was seven he read the books. I would also like to tell you that my mother, brother, and sister have been reading me the books my entire life. And I would also like you to know that babies and toddlers can watch movies. I remember the first time i watched GOF. I remember the first time I saw TPOA, I would have been threeish, so, You are wrong. Babies and toddlers can see the movies and have the books read to them. MY BROTHER WAS SEVEN WHEN HE READ THE BOOKS.

Are these people kidding themselves? The worst is the Edward Cullen/Robert Pattinson one. Ugh!

I was horrified by looking at them. It's one thing to be a part of a fad but it's a whole different thing to make that fad a part of your body.

What is the world coming to? Tomorrow when these girls go to get these horrors removed they'll probably be spending a lot more than they spent paying to get it done.

I Would Like To Be... Bella Swan

posted by DivyaHarry

Bella Swan is a complex character. On the one hand she emphasizes the need to be independent, on the other she depends on guys to make her life meaningful. The emphasis on Edward and Jacob being handsome are probably the only reason she wants either of them. Her personality never grows over the course of the books and thus her interesting-ness is never explored. In contrast; she does take responsibility for her actions. Edward being an abusive, manipulative and obsessive boyfriend has been discussed and beaten to death a million times. But these qualities come across as endearing to Bella....

HARRY POTTER vs TWILIGHT

posted by Mysticfallstown

Well i think that it's quite obvious that HARRY POTTER has more fans than twilight. Cause some people might not of heard of twilight before. I also think that people would like HARRY POTTER better because....

there is more action and killing
some people might like wizards better
the weasley brothers are funny

I think people would like TWILIGHT because....

there is more love
some people might like vampires better
it's a great story

I don't have a favourite because i love HARRY POTTER and i love TWILIGHT.HARRY POTTER and TWILIGHT are amazing.
