Гарри Поттер против Сумерек Article: Harry Potter is the cure to a Twilight addiction.

Harry Potter is the cure to a Twilight addiction.

posted by 11Anime_Fool

So, Ты 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 Фан 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 Далее 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 Любовь 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 Чтение 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.

Twilight Errors

posted by Sophia21

Realised the points have little to do with plot, thus changed the Название to errors.

My apologise to Twilight Фаны if I'm a little too harsh, but I have reread the Книги like twice this месяц and it was a little exasperating. Not to worry, I'm currently rereading Harry Potter, so a plothole Список on it will be added soon =)

Ok, let's get started:

1.A hundred years of...nothingness?
Explanation: I don't expect science fiction Книги to be scientifically accurate. But if Ты plan your main character to live 100 years studying in prep forever at the age of 17, make the whole book plausible. No, just saying...

PRO TWILIGHT
I'm not a big Twilight fan, but I can try to come up with some reasons:
1.Bella's emotions are described in depth, leaving no area unexplored. We know exactly how she feels at every second, whether she is gazing at Edward или making noodles. (this could also be a drawback-you can't have a story be completely emotion and no story)
2.Love? Well, Edward and Bella are in a relationship where they...

Harry and Cho- A brief history.

posted by FredWRules

-harry’s hormones went overdrive when he saw this spankin’ hot qurl from the ravenclaw quidditch team.

-being the teenage boy he is, he didn’t make a Переместить until it was the yule ball and it turns out that this d00d cedric asked her out.

-then this d00d died and cho was all “bawwww cedric” but somehow she managed to get over all that because of harry’s eternal glory the strategically placed mistletoe. so they kissed.

-then they dated on valentine’s день in hogsmeade and cho wanted to be all “baww cedric” in front of harry. but harry, being the hormone-driven infatuated teenager he is, was all ears.

-then it ended when harry сказал(-а) he was meeting hermione, because apparently cho’s the only one allowed to talk about someone else in their relationship.

I made a Список of combined and possible plot holes about Harry Potter. Some of them I came up with myself, and some of them I got from different places online. If Ты can give explanation answering the Вопросы ,do it please.
I purposely put in a few really really picky Вопрос because there are a lot of Статьи about Twilight like this, so I want to see how Harry Potter Фаны respond to the ridiculously picks questions. I'm not going to tell Ты which ones they are, but they should be easy to pick out.

95 Reasons Why Twilight Sucks
Opinion by BedIntruder Опубликовано 4 hours назад

1. Bella is a perfect character (“Mary Sue”), which Meyer hides by calling her clumsy.
2. Being clumsy is not a flaw if Edward always catches her.
3. She can’t do anything without Edward.
4. And when he leaves she attempts to commit suicide.
5. Meyer is living out her own fantasies by Письмо about Bella, who is clearly herself.
6. The Книги aren’t well written, just because every other word is a fancy adjective doesn’t make it good writing.
7. All the rules Meyer sets for being a vampire are broken by the end of the...

116. "BTW Twilight is the bestest film ever" I get really frusterated when soomebody compares the films instead off the movies. And whats worse is that Ты arent giving any reasons. "Stop hating, pick-up Twilight, actually read it and Ты will Любовь it and stop hating Twilight". Has it ever occurred to Ты that twilight haters have read the whole series? Like me? "HP is all around boring and it is made for younger children". I dont understand how Harry Potter can be so boring. Maybe Ты didnt keep up with the amount of action and romance and magic and the mystery. или maybe Ты didnt read...

So, once there was this girl - well, actually that girl still is - but anyway, this girl who we'll call Emma, for the purposes of now. (Well, actually, we'll call her that because it's her name. But Ты get the point.)

Around two, two and a half years ago, when Emma was in sixth grade, one of her Друзья - let's call her K, if she must have a name - was Чтение a book that looked rather interesting. It was black, with a shiny hard cover, and had an яблоко on the front. It was called Houkutus, which translates to Temptation.

Anti-Twilight Song Spoofs

Too true!

I discovered these song spoofs in my Письмо folder from my "Uber-Anti" stage, and I decided to share it with Ты guys, for the sake of nostalgia and whatnot.

Dumb Isabella (spoof on Umbrella by Rihanna)-

You wanna be, a sparkly Meyer-pire like me
Maybe in your dreams, but never in reality
Until Ты agree, to take my hand and marry me
And that's when you’ll want me there
to turn Ты into a vampire
Because

You’re a stupid Sue who wants us together
Told Ты I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your bitch
Took an oath I regret, Ты crazy witch
Now it's raining еще than ever

Twilight Is Just Fanfic In Denial.

posted by LoveforSeverus

Well I've been Письмо a little fanfic recently and I realized that when I write fanfic, I mostly let my character's handle the plot. Whatever happens to pop in my head at the time, and doesn't go completely against the в общем и целом, общая story line, gets put in the fanfic.
But Smeyer says that she wrote Twilight by just "letting her characters handle the plot". There by making it seem a lot like how, not only I, but other people, write Фан fiction.
I decided to look up some reasons of what makes a good Фан fiction:

Why I believe Twilight is Популярное

posted by GemonkDruid

First, let me get this straight: I'm not a Фан of Twilight. In fact, I hate it. But I can see why everyone's so hyped up about it.

You see, I've recently been introduced to a new theory- The Twelve-Year-Old girl theory. It's mostly used in music, like for Популярное Иконки like Hannah Montana, Justin Bieber, the Jonas Brothers, but Twilight also fits into this catagory.

What is the Twelve-Year-Old girl theory, Ты might ask? Well, let's just look at people at the age of twelve first. When Ты turn twelve, you're on the thin line between childhood and the teen years. You're young and vulnerable,...

20 Lessons Girls Can Learn From Twilight

posted by TeamSiriusBlack

I did not write this.
1. If a boy is aloof, stand-offish, ignores Ты или is just plain rude, it is because he is secretly in Любовь with Ты — and Ты are the point of his existence.
2.Secrets are good — especially life-threatening ones.
3. It’s OK for a potential romantic interest to be dimwitted, violent and vengeful — as long as he has great abs.
4. If a boy tells Ты to stay away from him because he is dangerous and may even kill you, he must be the Любовь of your life. Ты should stay with him since he will keep Ты безопасно, сейф forever.
5. If a boy leaves you, especially suddenly (while telling...
