harry potter vs twilight Article: Harry Potter is the cure to a Twilight addiction.

Harry Potter is the cure to a Twilight addiction.

posted by 11Anime_Fool

So, anda like Harry Potter? What about Twilight?
I've read (and watched) them both.
When I was twelve I picked up a paper back cover of "Twilight" at the airport for something to read on my plane ride home. I did become quite infatuated with the series, tearing through the second, third and fourth books. I went on this fan club on my old account (which I have long since abandoned) and talked trash about Harry Potter, and talked about how wonderful Twilight was. I talked about Twilight like it was my Bible, and mocked Harry Potter (which I knew selanjutnya to nothing about). However, when I was thirteen, I picked up Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone, just to see what all of the fuss was about. I immediately fell in cinta with the series, staying up all hours of the night just to find out what would happen next. I began to realize how flat and shapeless the storyline of the Twilight Saga really was. It amazed me, time and time again how much foreshadowing was spread through out the whole Harry Potter series, and how predictable Twilight was. I saw the depth in every aspect of Harry Potter, aspects that Twilight lacked. My Twihard phase was snuffed out after membaca book one of Harry Potter (BELIEVE ME. I was a Twilight addict, the kind they make fun of on "Vampires Suck") and I can say that I won't ever reach for the black and red volumes of Twilight again.

11Anime_Fool Does my honesty anger you?

cassie-1-2-3 Perhaps it's a useful antidote if you find your "addiction" a problem. Though trading one "addiction" for another has never really worked out for anyone. If you're trying to give advice, I have to say this won't work for everyone, and not everyone needs to be cured. If you're simply sharing your personal experience, I'm glad you've found something you love.

11Anime_Fool I used the term "addict" in an attempt to not offend anyone by calling them a "Twihard." That's all. I really like Harry Potter, so if I mentioned being "addicted" to Harry Potter, I will go back and fix it. I'm simply trying to say that after reading the Harry Potter series it is very difficult for me to appreciate a story that's as flat lined as Twilight. and yes, I am partially sharing personal experience, I have found a series I can be *healthily* in love with.

smallypuppy22 Yah come to the potterhead side, we have cookies :D

11Anime_Fool HP lover since...going on two years :D

Sandfire_Paiger Its true! I was on the Twilight side very strongly. Then I read Harry Potter... I still HIGHLY respect Twilight though!

emilyroxx My parents had to take away my Twilight books because they said that I was getting too obsessed with them. I'm not ALMOST as obsessed with HP as I was with Twilight and my parents encourage it. Twilight, they said, caused me to 'freak out' as they put it. During my Twilight-obsessed phase, I would talk about nothing else but Twilight, and if someone bad-mouthed it, I would ATTACK them. Trust me, they might both be obsessions, but Twilight is 100x more unhealthy an obsession than Harry Potter, Cassie.

cassie-1-2-3 I doubt it. That just sounds like your personal was of dealing with things isn't very great.

wotcher-tonks I had an un-healthy obsession too...Used to bad-mouth Harry Potter an everything! I got pissed, and I mean PISSED when I heard Vampires Suck came out. My brothers would make fun of me when I read Twilight and I would start attacking them. Harry was MY cure too. I stopped liking Twilight the instant I read the first word of Harry Potter. Now, I understand that some people don't like what I do. Now I gotz me a healthy obsession ;) I'm getting rid of my Twilight books now, I'm sort of ashamed to have them on my shelf. (Personal reasons, memories of being such a psycho fan.)

youknowit101 That sounds like growing up instead of being cured by books for all of you. It looks like this only happens to kids who read Twilight when they're young, then read harry Potter when they're older. The main factor is that you're older and you're better at coping with excitement.

wotcher-tonks ^Errr...I'm only 13...I still can't sit still in school, I definitely can't cope with excitement...

youknowit101 At your age you are learning how to cope with excitement. If you still get pissed when somebody doesn't like Harry Potter, then I'll agree that you haven't matured. That's a question you'll have to answer for yourself.

wotcher-tonks I just get pissed when people bash the series when they haven't even read it.

simpleplan youknowit100 right your just growing up :P

zanhar1 I hear you anime_fool I've been there. I was a twilight fan when I was 13 and used to hate Harry Potter that changed when my friend dragged me to see OotP and I saw Bellatrix that's when I decided to give the books another chance. I loved them. But I still didnt dislike twilight then, I started disliking it when everything became about it. All the "hey isn't twilight awesome" twilight this twilight that got annoying. It became so popular that they made twilight underpants! That's what did it for me lol.

lostandhp4ever I think it´s great when people read both of them. Because I hate it when someone says Twilight sucks and never reads Twilight and doesn´t even know why Twilight sucks. Or when someone says that Harry Potter sucks and never reads HP and doesn´t really know Harry Potter. So I think it´s great that you read both books to make your own opinion. And yeah you are right Harry Potter is much better ;-)

Lunalovely Are you sure your article isnt about my life? Twilighter at 11 years?Hating on HP? obsessed with Twilight for two years? Being cured at 13 by HP? Yeah that's my life.

Response to "you want reasons? ill give anda reasons !!! mwahahah!"

posted by ChocAttack266

This is a (long) rebuttal to KatiiCullen94's argument, the judul of which is in is article's title. (Though you've probably all seen that oleh now.) I haven't included her points in this, so it will be necessary to read her artikel first.

1. The majority of people in this world cannot relate to Bella. Tell me, how many people can go to a new school and automatically be the prettiest and most populer girl there? How many girls can say that they have FIVE males lusting after them?

Bella does care for people other than herself - her boyfriend. That's it. She was perfectly happy to hurt her father...

My opinions and thoughts on Twilight Characters

posted by Renesmee_XD

This is my last artikel and as anda may know I never really came here to argue, just to figure out what was going on in Twilight-Haters heads.

Bella- Whiny and Moany ?
Everyone says that Bella is so whiney and the point is so what if she ? I am sure if we went into your heads ,you would be as moany as her. She complains about the attention she is recieving from boys. I would too it would totally creep me out if suddenly I moved to a new school and everybody likes me.
The friend problem: Jessica is not a good friend after being to 9 schools so far I have met people like this and only can I comment...

The Height of Stupidity

posted by DivyaHarry

Firstly, this is not my article. I found it over the internet and pasted it here because I find it really hard to believe that there are people like this in the world who are completely ignorant atau just plain stupid.

The e-mail was apparently from Kayla Patterson, a die hard Twilight/Taylor Lautner fan upset about Universal Pictures ripping off the werewolf idea from Twilight.

To whom this may concern:

This movie was a complete waste and I feel that it offends ALL Twilight fan around the world, that including myself. For one, it was a COMPLETE remaking of the serigala Pack from the Twilight Saga:...

Response to "Analysis of the Opposite!"

posted by XDRoseLuvsHP

Hmm... this could take a while. Haha, I have a lot of reasons for my strong dislike of Twilight. Before I start, I'd just like to explain that I was once a Twilight fan, so I've read all the buku and stuff, but I just can't stand it anymore. Therefore, I can give a lebih complete explanation of my views. Sorry if it's really ridiculously long.

First reason I hate Twilight: the media. Twilight, in all honesty, isn't a great book. I have read worse buku (though not many... Twilight was pretty bad). However, if Twilighters and Twilight artikel and such weren't all "OMG ITS THE MOST AMAZING SERIES...

Comparison: Stephenie Meyer and Voldemort

posted by XDRoseLuvsHP

Voldemort is notorious for his fear of death. To avoid death, he is willing to kill innocent people and destroy his very soul.

Now, everyone with any sense knows that Bella is a Mary Sue, and Stephenie Meyer desperately wants to be Bella. I even personally know quite a few Twilight fan who realize and accept this. And what does Bella want? She wants to become a vampire.

Here is some commonly known knowledge about vampire (according to Meyer):

-Kill innocents for survival
-Practically immortal
-Possibly lose their souls, though this is not known for sure

We see Voldemort killing innocents for survival....

My Review of Twilight and it fan

posted by Kersian

Okay now I will begin off with something that has really begin to get on my nerve. How Twilight fan write out their artikel on why they like Twilight. Not just artikel other things too. I will give anda and example of one: "For people.....blah blah blah." Like these. Who are they directing these too exactly? I know some the judul says it, but they expect only those sort of people to respond. Pff yeah right. I see that kind of judul I go in and see what kind moronic things they have to say.

Most Twilight fan I see on this site lack the skills in proper grammar. Okay first if anda ever want...

Old twilight fan writes about harry potter

posted by nati30

This artikel was actually wriiten oleh an ex-twilighter(iloveyoudarling), not me, and i dont like the way she wrote it, cuz it is kinda rude, but i diposting it so that maybe some twilighters here could consider giving harry potter a chance because the artikel proves that even though anda cinta twilight there COULD be a better book out there:
Dear Twilight fans,

I was anda one day. Addicted to Twilight and couldnt ever stop membaca it even if i had already read it 4 times. But trust me on this one will you. READ ANOTHER BOOOK!!! AFTER anda DO THAT TWILIGHT WILL SEEM LIKE A STUPID ROMANCE STORY.

After...
