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.

1000 Reasons Why Harry Potter Is Better Than Twilight: The Reasons that Don't Count 1-500

posted by youknowit101

Here's a Список of reasons that don't count out of the first 500.
Reasons that are purely opinion, untrue, или just ridiculous.
I didn't include all the reasons I think are wrong, to be nice

12. Twilight WILL fad out it is a fad and many Фаны are on it because of the Bandwagon effect and because Robert Patterson is good looking But Harry Potter will be around forever
17. Harry Potter can be read by any age group. Twilight is geared еще towards angst 15 год olds.
18. The characters in Harry Potter GROW, they grow with Ты as Ты read. The first Книги start out fairly tame but mature as Ты mature....

Любовь vs. Любовь vs. Obsession: The Natural Progression of a Romantic Relationship

The bold text is my own add ins to relate the situations to Bella and Edward

Любовь is a tricky emotion. There are some things that feel like Любовь but they are much too superficial to be the real thing. Real Любовь takes time and doesn't happen overnight. Here are three things that people often confuse for love.

I don’t personally believe that Любовь can really be defined by anyone, but oh well. People like to try new things.

Lust A.k.a, Twilight

Lust is the feeling that is often mistaken for Любовь at first sight. Lust is an intense and sudden attraction to somebody...

Reasons why I dislike Harry Potter

posted by Amirgaul

I knw that many of Ты hv read the Книги and watched the Harry Potter series. At first, I liked it very much, but later on, it got really boring to the point I had to force myself to watch tthe Фильмы and read the books. I know that I don't "have" to force myself to do anything, but there was no other way to spend my holidays. One of my friends, who is a Potter Фан recommended this series to me and gave me all the Фильмы and books. I finished Чтение all the Фильмы and also finished Чтение all the books. At the end, I was really disappointed.
I hate Harry Potter. Now, don't go saying that I...
