Why do you like Harry Potter/Twilight?
I'm sorry, but I want to read something positive. Please, no fighting and number these. So, I'll go first.

I like Harry Potter.
1. Hermione shows that girls can be smart and it's great if they are. None of the girls need a boy to survive. They can defend themselves. Harry and Ron do depend on Hermione for schoolwork. Ginny is accomplished at the Bat-Bogey Hex.
2. Harry is willing to sacrifice himself if it means his friends will survive.
3. Harry's is brave, but he still has emotion. When he goes into the forest in Ch. 34 (DH), he's scared, but he knows what must be done.
4. Harry befriends the outsiders. The oddities (Luna), the outcasts (Ron, Neville), the brains (Hermione).
5. The characters don't always "get the girl". Cho doesn't come to the Yule Ball with him. Then he and Cho fall apart. Lily went out with James in Year 7, but Severus never stopped loving her, even after she was killed.
6. There are breakups in the books. There are many possible ships (relationships, couples) and people are together, then they break up. Nothing lasts forever. Also, the main character is horrible when dealing with girls and asking one out. ^.^
7. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna, Dumbledore, Snape, etc., etc., etc. all have faults. I dare you. Name a character in the series who doesn't have a fault of some kind. They are not perfect. Snape is considered ugly, yet Lily befriended him. Ron's family barely has enough money. Harry is an orphan. Neville is a slow learner.
8. We know that all the characters are human. Even Dumbledore makes mistakes--The Flaw in the Plan. People die. People are injured. Some of our favorite character give their lives for a better world. Tonks and Lupin give their lives for their son, they love him that much. (see #9)
9. In Harry Potter, love is considered a power. Death is considered the "next great adventure" and fear of death is what brings Voldy down.
10. None of the characters are particularly handsome or beautiful. Except for Diggory. (And he got killed.) Looks don't determine a person's intelligence. Take Hermione. Her hair is bushy. Her teeth aren't straight. Her IQ is over the moon.
