Question

Do you prefer The Harry Potter Books or The Twilight Saga Books? And Why?
I am personally torn between the two of them because they are both such good books. And they are both quite different. But I just wanted to know what do you think. Because I love them both.

Answer

I love both series. I own all the books in both PbrThe Harry Potter books seem to have a more developed plotline, with interesting characters and creative settings. J.K Rowling has managed to successfully create a mystical world that is described well throughout the books. The whole idea of magic has thrilled people since further back than medieval times, and to have it written in modern times just makes it all the more interesting. I really love the way that the plot actually goes somewhere if there is a battle, then it impacts the storyline, even if some important characters were lost in the process. There are actual consequences, repercussions, and they learn from their mistakes. However, the one problem I find is that it seems like she has a basic storyboard, or writing frame, and she uses it in every book but the last, filling in the gaps. Notice how there is always something that happens to Harry before he reaches Hogwarts at the start of the book, then there is a significant event that takes palce towards the beginning of his year at Hogwarts, then that contributes to a larger event, that is built up to throughout the book. Finally there is a battle, or some sort of challenge towards the end of his stay, then he goes home. Oh, and the fact that Harry seems to barely have a personality also greatly annoyed me.brbrTwilight on the other hand, is written in the normal world, but it reveals to the reader the possibility of vampires, and other supernatural creatures. The plot or story line for each of the books is unique, and different to the last just managing to sustain the readers attention until the end of the series. I liked vampire novels before reading Twilight, some of my favourites being written by Anne Rice, and Karen Chance. But I did notice, while reading some of the books by Karen Chance that Stephenie Meyer, at times, appears to have a very similar writing style I would assume that at some point Stephenie read those books. The cover font for one of K.Cs books quotMidnights Daughterquot was also used throughout the Twilight series as the cover font. My main problem with the Twilight series is that Stephenie Meyer over uses certain words like quotchagrinquot, and has a somewhat sloppy writing style. After reading, and rereading Twilight, and the other books for that matter, I begin to find Bella a rather obnoxious character, always complaining about how she isnt good enough, and how she doesnt deserve her time with Edward. I began feeling like shouting quotComplainings not going to help anything, why not just shut the fck up and enjoy your time with him.quot Another problem that I found with the Twilight saga was that, in my opinion, Stephenie did not live up to the expectations for the last book, Breaking Dawn she began making it all just TOO convenient. No fight at the end, because Alice amp Jasper just happen to be near the clearing at the time. No battle between Vamps and Weres because Jacob just happened to imprint. Alice amp Jasper just happen to locate probably the ONLY other half humanhalf vampire group. It just so happens that the half vampshalf humans will eventually stop aging, meaning they could be pretty much immortal, like their parents. I just found all of this a bit too convenient, like she felt there were so many loose ends that she needed to tie them all together and rush the ending. Also, notice that only minor characters died throughout the series, like Harry Clearwater, yet in HP there were some major characters who were killed e.g Dumbledore, Fred or George, I forget which Weasley, Sirius Black Granted, she did manage to clear up some of the questions, but she also implanted more questions in my mind. For example, when would the Volturi come back for another fight. brbrOver all, Im not sure which I prefer, because there are different aspects of both that appeal to me. The plot of the Harry Potter books seems more thought out and well written, keeping people interested in what is going to happen in the next book. On the other hand, I like the overall concept of the Twilight saga having liked vampire novels, it was nice to finally see someone who actually wrote about a family, or coven, of vampires who drank animal blood. It has been mentioned in books such as Interview with a Vampire, but none of the vampires who chose that path had particular success. brbrYeah, I got bored and began rambling. I should stop drinking so many caffienated beverages. I better get points for this gtP
