My blood absolutely boils when someone claims that Twilight is loads better than Harry Potter. If I hear the term, “TWILIGHT > HARRY POTTER” one more time, my brain is going to explode.
Maybe I get so annoyed because I’ve been a Harry Potter fan since I first read the book ..About 10 years ago. Then Twilight struts in out of nowhere with its stupid, plain covers and ridiculously written pages and steals the thunder from Harry Potter.
Hmm. Let’s think about it.
Harry Potter, I know a load of guys who enjoy those books and read and watch the movies religiously. Twilight? I don’t even know a gay guy who would pick that book up if he had gloves on.
Twilight is teenage girl porn, in word form. All it is is a sappy love story with absolutely no reasoning behind it. Like, okay, a girl meets a vampire and falls in love. Where’s the UMPH, where’s the magic? It’s about as predictable as my heartburn.
And the part that slayed me about Twilight was the fact that Edward Cullen sparkles in the sunlight.. How manly.
Aren’t vampires unallowed to enter sunlight? And, the way he spoke about what the sun did to him, you’d think it would turn him into a rabid beast. But, alas! He just sparkles. That made me giggle. What a disappointment, a flaming vampire sparkles in the sunlight, how badass.
Okay, back to my point.
Harry Potter appeals to both sexes of all ages, even my mother adores those books. Twilight is written as though we’re all five years old and are incapable of reading a book. S. Meyer did nothing but prove that some books just shouldn’t be over 300 pages. The plot is long and drawn out, and truthfully, if Taylor Lautner weren’t Jacob Black, I would never have even watched the movie.
Just remember, next time you diss Harry Potter and praise all over Twilight, remember that Harry doesn’t sparkle in the sunlight.
