For me Twilight was too easy to read. I could predict what would happen and the plot was too easy. The thing is, the plot isn't bad. Vampires exist, that's cool. You know one, yes, very cool. But the way Stephenie Meyer introduces it, how she developed her characters, how she modeled the vampire species, that is where Twilight gets people annoyed. It represent the iceburg that sunk the titanic, the heal that killed Achilles...
Us Harry Potter fans wouldn't be as hateful if the Twilight characters were as real and developed as J Rowling's, if the characters weren't *poof* beautiful, attractive, smart, strong and if the plot was something truly well thought off.
Okay Harry Potter fans, imagine Twilight didn't exist. Rowling released a series about vampires. The heroine is a girl who falls in love, after years of friendship with a vampire. They get married, the end.
You find in this 'Rowling's twilight' an elaborate plot. There is a logical porblem, climax as climatic as it gets, a twist that nobody could have expected.
The girl isn't a Bella. It's a Hermione, or a Ginny. She refuses to play weak and defenceless she stands by herself and doesn't depend. This sceries could be alright, no?
That's because the idea behind Twilight isn't bad. I just wish somebody other then Meyer would have gotten the idea and how it would've been developed more. If Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ginny and Ron Weasley's personalitites and characters would've been the Twilight vampires, we'd ALL be gaga for this new series.
What's wrong with Twilight, it isn't the diea of vampires.
It's how theese vampires are, and how Bella is portrayed.
ps. I,m not saying Meyer is a bad writter. Everybody needs constructive critisism for her first time writting. If she writes agian I'll surely try it. This is also one of my first articles and I,m not very old, so please keep that in mind.
Now, i have to admit i love both series! I'd say harry potter is unisex and appropriate for all ages, whilst twilight adresses mainly to teenage girls. HP talks about friendship and love, while twilight is more romantic! Also, hp gives lessons of life, although maybe in some cases, i would prefer reading twilight.
Finally, They are both written by two very talented and imaginative writers, j.k rowling and stephenie meyer. They wrote these books to give teens (and not only) inspiration and time of happiness. So, if you don't like one of these two series, don't blame them! We can't all have the same tastes!
