I came across this (CLICK THE LINK, or don't if you don't want to lose hope in humanity). before i go further, please read it, everyone. Done?
............................................
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHAT IS THIS ABSURDITY - I CAN'T EVEN - WHAT..... breath. breath. regain your composure.
Don't lose hope just yet, if you read the comments you'll know there are people who will make the world a better place. Such as me. I've read the whole Twilight saga when i was 14, obsessed over it, but then realized what i was getting myself into. i didn't even finish Breaking Dawn. i was still 14 when i saw sense. this proves how Twi is a trend and seasonal, while HP is phenomenal and unforgettable. So my points will not be biased because i've experienced both.
Both are different stories with different purposes. the qualities are too. HP is literature, Twi is guilty pleasure. Twi is teen romance, a light reading aimed for girls which makes money, HP is a 'supposedly children book' read by all genders and generations, which touch the lives of many. There's no way a Potterhead will compare them because it's an insult to even question it. But since a Twitard does it first, as always, so here we go.
Read this if you want a valid argument on why Harry Potter is better and Twilight "kinda sucks", before you hear it from me.
Everyone has their cup of tea, but please don't even compare it to HP. Next time, don't use those points. it shows your level of maturity and mentality.
Girl, I hope you're trolling. That's the only reasonable explanation. Never in my life I see a Potterhead like this. I would have been ashamed of you if i were a Twihard too.
say you aren't kidding and are for real, here are my counter arguments.
1. "I mean little kids are reading that stuff!!!"
'Bloody hell' is not really a swear word. if some people find that offensive, so it's subjective. the only real swear word in the whole series is 'bitch' which is during the final battle. "NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH" was said by a mother who had just lost a son, to a bitch who almost killed her daughter.
it's kind of fitting isn't it? if you can even comprehend such emotions.
thanks for your concern. but little kids who grew up with HP were teenagers and young adults when the last book came out. we call ourselves the Harry Potter Generation. about the next generation of kids, they would hear it from somewhere else first. with what's on tv and the internet 'bitch' is used in less emotional and conflicted situations, don cha think?
even i knew that word before i read it in HP. i guess you learnt the F-word the same way, too.
what about all those times in Twi when Bella was horny and begged Edward to make love to her? oh and the time Meyer described the aftermath of their sex? little kids and even teenagers would be traumatized by that. I guess not the kind of book we'll share with our daughters, huh?
2. "That teaches people that death is ok and natural! I mean who WANTS to
read about that kind of thing?"
uhm, honey, i don't know how to say this but, uhm, people DO die. i'm sorry that it's so natural. oh God tell me why am i the one who has to break this to this innocent, clueless soul right here??
Maybe you're lucky enough to never have lost anyone, but most of us are not! do you have any idea how the deaths in HP help us Potterheads as kids and teenagers? to know we're not the only one who feels the misery of losing somebody when everyone around us is as lucky as you are? to know everyone's equal and death is coming for us, no matter how good we are?
Little kids who are not exposed to this kind of things grow up to believe in happy endings and unrealistic fairytale, or worse, grow up to be you. People like you are so absorbed in romance fantasies to even realize the bitter reality of life.
People die. when you're dead you disappear from this earth. you don't have option to ''stay' as a sparkly vampire. that's real life. deal with it.
3. "Its going to teach people that torture is okay!"
I DON'T REALLY CALL PEOPLE DUMB BUT... CAN YOU REALLY BE THAT DUMB TO THINK ONE WRITES ABOUT BAD THINGS TO INSPIRE OTHERS TO DO THEM?? EVEN A 7-YEAR-OLD CAN UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE POINT.
Every villain in HP has a reason - it's called DEPTH. even in our world, there are motivations and depressions causing people to be evil. but from Harry, we learn we don't have to be even if we have all the reasons in the world. in fact, Harry even had quite a similar childhood with Voldy.
Did you know why Voldy became evil? His mom was a poor pure blood witch who fell in love with a muggle. she gave him love potion, he thought he loved her, she became pregnant. she didn't want to lie anymore, wanted a real love, not a fake affection, so she stopped giving him love potion thinking he'd love her all the same. wrong. he left her and married another girl. she was disowned by her father for being with a muggle, had no one, no where, nothing. she died in child birth at an orphanage, where Voldy grew up having no friend and no foster family. All his life he felt hatred, trapped. When he had the chance to escape to Hogwarts, he was the best student, the head boy, the favourite. he used his talents to have power, gain followers, reign the magical world. That's why he hated, tortured and killed muggles and muggle-borns, because of his father. in fact, the first time he killed, the victims were his muggle family. it's ironic, seeing how he was a half-blood himself. as though he hated a part of who he was, with a common, weird name. that's how by rearranging the alphabets Tom Marvolo Riddle, you'll get 'I am Lord Voldemort.'
as for Bellatrix and other Death Eaters, they were brought up with the idea of how muggles were worthless and muggle-borns were mudbloods. it's parallel to how in our world, blacks, jews and muslims were labeled and hated. it's called PREJUDICE, in case you haven't noticed.
HP became darker as the readers grew older. so what if it's "HORRIBLE AND WRONG"? Welcome to the world. Grow up. kids can handle it, so it's about time you should.
don't tell me there's no violence at all in Twi, what about ripping the body apart and burning it to ashes? sweetie you must be having nightmares! it's okay then for Bella to do dangerous things just to get a glimpse of her imaginary Edward when he left her? it's okay to go get yourself killed (or in Edward's case, ripped apart and burnt to ashes) when you think your girlfriend is dead? how about the torture Bella oh so endures for her love as mother?
4. "Twilight is American, Harry Potter is British. Therefore, by logic,
Twilight is better"
This is the point where i pray to God you're actually kidding. did you know how many Americans disagree with how everything "american automatically makes it higher quality"? how many Brits are offended by "British people can be really bad"?
"they fought against us and LOST in WW2" - ARE YOU KIDDING? it's your own country's history for God's sake! America. and Britain. were allies. you. guys. won. Good luck in your exams.
after you get that fact right, someone should tell you how the country where someone or something from does not affect the quality. someone else should tell you how Britain produced Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Queen Rowling and other all-time best writers. Noted scientists like Newton and Stephen Hawking, em, who else.. oh yes, Paul McCartney, John Lennon and basically all the members of The Beatles were Britons!
even Lady D was a Brit too! i know right, like, how shocking!
R-Pattz is a Brit. I know this must be a total surprise to you. before he was Edward Cullen, he was Cedric Diggory. who's that? oh, only a character from HP. by the way, he admits he likes being in HP more than Twi. oh, you didn't know how much he hates Twi, did you?
5. "like they use slang and stuff that doesnt make sense to ANYONE BUT
BRITISH PEOPLE!"
"Can you Americans speak any other language besides English?" - Inglourious
Basterds
There's one thing you need to know, which is everyone around the globe AREN'T all Americans. There are people of different nationalities, races, religions, languages, slangs and accents. even people from North American have accents!
6. "They should of gotten normal people who can FUCKING TALK RIGHT!!!"
Missy, you should use proper English which originated from Britain (where everything's bad rite?) before you comment on how other people talk. it's SHOULD HAVE, NOT SHOULD OF. i don't understand people who write like this. do you think you're a Brit? because saying 'should of' sounds like talking with a British accent which you hate.
You are the first and only person who trashes British accent. everybody else loves it, it's sexy <3 isn't sexy what you Twihards care about?
The movies were made by an American company but the actors have "funny accents" because THEY ARE BRITISH! GOD. about ten years ago, JKR said something like this to Warner Bros "You can only make the movies if all the workforce - actors, designers, constructors, artists, composers, runners, everyone - is British or Irish, unless their characters are not. If you agree, then we have a deal," and you know what? that's the best deal ever.
HP is the first ($7,706,147,978) while Twi is at no 9 ($2,505,603,891) of the highest grossing franchise, DHP2 is the third ($1,328,111,219) highest grossing film after Avatar and Titanic, 5 HP films are top 10 on the list, actually all 8 HP films are way above any Twi film, with PoA the lowest grossing HP film ($796,688,549) at no 33 and New Moon the highest grossing Twi film ($709,827,462) at no 44.
well, this clearly shows how "Harry Potter kinda sucks", doesn't it?
WEIRDOS? WATCH YOUR MOUTH YOU BIMBO. HP is an assemble of acknowledged and talented Brit actors, some have won prestigious awards (by prestigious, i don't mean Teen Choice Award), some have been granted with titles (Dame Maggie Smith, Sir Michael Gambon), and some can act naturally like they've done it all their lives, being just little kids.
it's your fault the only celebrities you know are from Hollywood who fill the tabloids and act in cheesy romantic comedies.
7. "The chracters are ugly"
I'M STOPPING MYSELF FROM SWEARING LIKE MOLLY WEASLEY NOW, YOU BI-
SERIOUSLY? CAN YOU BE THAT SUPERFICIAL?
The characters aren't ugly. to someone thick, they are because they don't look like barbies. JKR wants to teach little kids that it's okay to not look like what they see on tv and in magazines, it's okay to look like who they are for everyone's beautiful in their own way and we are all special, that you must be proud of your strength and uniqueness, do not be ashamed for being intelligent like Hermione or different like Luna, that being ginger doesn't mean you're weird and wearing glasses doesn't make you a nerd, you need to embrace your physical beauty and work harder on your inner beauty, that's the point.
it seems you really need to read Harry Potter. this is what happens, when an impressionable girl reads Twilight and believe everyone should look like the vampires (Meyer's version, at least, which is a disgrace to vampire race) - flawless. if you're not attractive enough, just visit them as food!
the actors in HP grew into their looks, they started as children. they were cast because they have talents, not because of their appearance. Hermione wasn't supposed to be pretty, so was Luna, Harry wasn't supposed to be handsome, Ron wasn't supposed to be hunky, and have you seen Tom Felton? Neville wasn't supposed to be that... different! Drool.
the only characters who were described in the books as good looking i think were Cedric, Ginny, Fleur and Bill. and Hermione during Yule Ball, the first time she ever cared about her looks. before that, it was all books. and that's what girls should do, too.
While what Bella ever cared about was her boyfriend, but since Edward didn't want to have sex until they're married, another thing she cared about was getting married. to have sex. Edward fell in love with her because of her smell on the first place, and Bella was madly in love with him because of his looks before she even knew him, that's stupid. everyone is perfect it's unrealistic.
You know what i hate the most about Twitards? the only thing they have to say about Twilight is "Taylor is so hot! his abs, omg, i'm so turned on! Kristen is so pwetty, i don't care she doesn't have expressions, she's like, the best actress eva! and Robert! omg, his face, like, i wanna kiss that face and have a child with that face like, so pewwwfect!"
Please. Do. Not. Be an embarrassment. To. Girls. And. The human race.
8. "WHat kind of sadistic creepy fucking moron kills people and tortured
them FOR FUN?!??!"
We have a word for that - PSYCHOPATHS. this world is
full of them. for a second put down that Toilet and go read a
newspaper. you've been reading enough kisses and glitters.
OMG, can't you see? like, it's so obvious. The real actions happened at the end of school year totally because Voldy cared for Harry's education! Du-uh!
NO. but because it's called CLIMAX. no, not the one Bella had. Plots (something HP actually has) need to build up first. conflicts still happen throughout the year. The villains need to have proper plannings, but the climax don't even involve the same villains every year. The climax of each book and of the whole series, is when the PLOT HOLES are filled (something missing in Twi) and the conclusions are revealed.
My darlings from Interview With a Vampire are not amused.
you say The Volturi is realistic? the first time they appeared, they talked. they warned, but didn't do anything until two books later, they returned. just to talk some more. then they left and nobody was killed, oooh very evil. all they do is sit on high chairs, send their servants to do their dirty work (which is easy because there's not much to do), and talk. "creepy losers with bad hair in cloaks"? I suggest you take a look again at The Realistic Evil Volturi.
first you say HP villains make the story too depressing and dark. and now this. really? it seems contradictory isn't it? oh yes, it's something you learn from Meyer.
Why Twilight "kinda sucks"
now it's my turn. it's how Meyer writes. how 90% of the content is about how Bella describes Edward, how in love she is, how lustful she feels, it's like she doesn't have anything else to think about other than romance. how there are contradictions and plot holes which remain so until the end. Because of the ridiculous ideas of vampires and creatures which insult classic mythology. how women can't live without men. how to forget your life when you think your boyfriend forgets you. how to use your best friend as a rebound. how to not know who to choose. how love is so great you should be selfish instead of making sacrifices. how superficial and perfect everything is, it's unrealistic, unlike in HP when even the heros have imperfections and the enemies have something good to offer. how people can't relate, unlike HP which is set in a magical world, but extremely relatable. How Bella is uh why does everybody like me and want me uh i don't understand uh i'm just a girl who blushes and trips over everything. How Meyer is nothing like Rowling, and Twi is nothing like HP, but Twitards dare to compare and say Twi is so much better. How Twitards are so obsessed with abs and looks. How they fail to give sensible reasons why "Harry Potter kinda sucks". How some Twitards talk and think with a mind of a... Twitard. and because of Twitards like this one.
So these are my reasons. they flow out of my mind like a flood and i don't even have to think much. I can go on and on about how HP is better and how it pwns Twi, but that can be later.
Did you know why we HP fans think "HP is SOOOO much better and trying to lord it all over us Twilight fans"? Because you, Twilight fans, are "just plain RUDE" first.
Do we need to keep our mouth shut and respect Twitards when
you lot are giving nonsense comments about how you’re more superior but everyone with a right mind know that you’re just desperate to
prove an invalid argument? just sayin’. Twi is not LOTR or Narnia. Next time you want to argue, come out with clever responses and actual reasons.
Everyone has their taste, I understand. But please know your stand.
