There is, in the world, a girl called Z-----. More commonly known on this website as Best, that is the name that shall be used for this anti story.
Now, when best was 11 years old, she had read all the Harry Potter books, and loved them. I’m talking about waiting for her Hogwarts acceptance letter to come and carving wands. She truly loved the series. In 2009, she went to a wedding. Her aunt there had read the Harry Potter books, except for the last one. She also had a cousin there, who was a huge fan of Twilight. Now, at that time, best hadn’t read Twilight. Her aunt was also a huge fan of Twilight, and at dinner, they started asking questions like ‘Who do you think Bella should have chosen?’ Best was listening with interest. She found out it was a teenage love story. How stupid, thought Best, I can’t believe they actually like that over Harry Potter.
This wedding, however, started her thoughts on Twilight. In grade 6, she read the Twilight books. She had found them in the library while looking for Order of the Phoenix (for the 7-8 time). She thought, Well, I can give it a chance, right? So Best read the books. She loved them, but she never thought of comparing them to HP. Luckily for her, she had friends at school who were CRAZY obsessed with Twilight. Like, not a day passed when this friend, if she needs a name L, talked about Jacob.
Best had not seen the Twilight movies, because she didn’t have them and she didn’t like Twilight enough to buy the movies. However her cousin lent her the movie. Best thought she was going to watch it, but kept putting it off. So L and Best and a few other friends decided to go see New Moon. Best wanted to see the movie, but then L moved and the plans got cancelled. But before L left they talked of Twilight.
L and her other friends talked about the boys in Twilight, and soon every girl in her grade 6 class was on one subject. Well, Best got extremely bored. She decided to re read Twilight, but she couldn’t find it. So she read Harry Potter. And her eyes were opened. She still liked Twilight, mind you, but she realized it was second best and would ALWAYS be second best.
Her friends still claimed twilight was the best book in the world. They even said Stephanie Meyer was very sweet. Best decided to leave them rambling about Jacob and Edwierd. She went back to her old friends, who were not Potter fans – only one was. Her name was H. So Best and H talked about HP forever, until H, too, had to move.
Then, Best made a new friend, call her Sue. Sue was a huge fan of the Percy Jackson books, and then Best was too. However, Twilight had taught Best a very important lesson: NOTHING can beat Harry Potter. So Best was a Jackson fan, and still is. Compared to these two series, Twilight seemed like rubbish to Best – and not even well written rubbish. She persuaded her BBF, name S, to read HP and the Philosophers Stone. When she did, S loved it.
All her Twilight craze was immediately forgotten at the joyous prospect of finally being returned to the right state of mind and having an HP fan to discuss it with. Best felt more confident now, thanks to Hermione and S, so she convinced Sue to read the books as well. Sue read and loved them, and in no way could Best have felt happier, unless her Hogwarts letter came. However, the only drawback was Sue and S had only read Philosophers Stone and not any of the other books. But still... so continuing on, Best realized that another of her friends, call her X, was a Potter fan. However she was disappointed. Because none of the other fans she had made where that into it.
So Best started to hate Twilight. It began slowly than spread faster and faster. She started to compare Harry Potter to Twilight, and googled ‘Stephanie Meyer vs JK Rowling,’ and she found this: 1000 reasons why HP is better than Twilight. So she immediately made an account, and read to about pg 100. There, she just skipped to the last page. The Anti’s were nice, and Best made a whole dozen more friends. She felt very relieved as they all also thought HP was the best book ever. Some of them were also PJ fans, and they all thought the same way.
Well, you should know what happened next!
Sorry, I know that was a crazy weird story in one year – grade 6.
