in What is Twilight? And is it the Next Harry Potter? on /Film
Thank you Twilighters here for defending it. I know I've commented alot lately (but it's nothing compared to how many comments there are! There's, like, 50+ since I commented THIS MORNING) but I must rant some more.
The only comparison that can be made of Twilight and HP is the fantasy aspect. And Robert Pattinson, of course. :] Anywhoo, they are totally different in every way. I honestly think Twilight is a better book because, simply, it caught my attention more. Sure, I've read all the HP books and I love them, but I don't have the same... 'sensation' (for lack of better words) that I get when I read Twilight. When I read Twilight, New Moon, or Eclipse... I honestly feel like I'm there. I feel the emotions that Bella feels, I see what she sees, I experience what she experiences. I don't get that when I read Harry Potter. I love them both though don't get me wrong-- but Twilight just caught my attention better.
So no, it really can't be the new Harry Potter, because they are nothing alike. But Twilight is better by a long shot.

Whoops, typo. :]
"When she rad the book" is supposed to be "When she [Stephenie Meyer] WROTE the book". Heehee.

TO Karen:
Yes, the book is considered "young adult". That means little, if not nothing. When she read the book, she wasn't even considering it to be a YA book. That was the publishers' labeling. And the age labels won't stop other age groups from enjoying it. I think that video games are a lovely example. Have you ever heard of the game, "Halo"? It's rated "M" for Mature (17+), but there is an incredible amount-- I shudder at the thought of the size-- of kids younger than that, younger than ME, the 14-year-old, who are obsessive over Halo. I have family, friends, enemies, frenemies (ha-ha) who obsess. Which is similar to the age differentiation of the Twilight fan-base.
The "mommas" are just pointing out that there is a large older audience to the Twilight series. I don't think that they are taking these comments as blows to their ego or anything, just pointing out reality.

Some of you haters are WAY underestimating this.
Yes, I am a teenage girl and in love with the books. And I cannot wait until the movie-- it even comes out December 12th which is my birthday. But the Twilight series is in no way, shape, or form only for 'teenage girls'. I have more than one guy friend who is just as adoring *ahem, obsessive* of Twilight as I am. And I am very much aware of TwilightMOMS, and I'm sure that there are many, ahem, TwilightDADS out there as well. And I think that this movie will do phenomenally, even if some of the cast is not what people hoped. Sure, Robert Pattinson can't perfectly portray Edward-- but what human could? I think that the movie very well could equal, if not top, the HP movies. The Twilight books have already gone above and beyond the HP books on the bestsellers list; who says the movie won't do the same?
Ok, my little *ahem, incredibly long* rant is done. =]
