Question
What is Better? Harry Potter or Twilight?
I love both series, I like Harry Potter more but I wanted to see who like what better.
Answer
Harry Potter for sure.brbrHarry Potter should never be brought down that many notches to be compared to Twilight it just shouldnt happen and violates proper literacy. Harry Potter is complex and steeped with meaning and symbolism every single word that Rowling wrote had thought behind it every name given had a purpose. Twilight falls flat.brMeyer didnt have enough power to properly write the series in which she attempted, I feel. Her word choice was poor and she obsessively recycled words so often that it became tiresome we get it, Meyer, Edward was quotGodlikequot and his skin was quotmarblequot. She had nothing else and considering how many words were jammed into that many hundreds of pages, reading her work became painful. brThe plot line crumbles at the slightest prob. Between discoball vampires, fake werewolves, and strange mortals, it all began not making sense. There was, in truth, nearly zero plot in the first book Meyer basically slapped on a conflict at the end because she probably realized that, quotoh shoot, a book needs a conflict.quot The first few hundred pages are of Bella staring awkwardly at Edward.brTacking on to the plot line problem, Meyer basically went against herself on the last book. She basically had no plot, not even to begin with, but, at the chance of another wad of cash and under the pressure of fans, she slapped together the last book, Breaking Headboards. I mean...Breaking Dawn. Throughout the series, she managed to build together solid enough explanations of the fantasy world in which she had created, only for the reader to discover that the entire time, she was messily building a piñata come the last book, she whacked her creation and the entire ordeal of it exploded. In a more literal sense, she contradicted every single thing in which she told the reader making it that none of it, when applied the laws in which she herself had created, make any relevant sense by the end.brMore importantly was the lack of properly fleshed characters. We all love Harry Potter not only because of the brilliant plot but because of the character in which dance around throughout those many pages the one thing that I love in books the most and the thing that I focus a lot of energy on as an author myself is the characters. Characters, when properly designed and puppeted, if you will, become realistic and enjoyable we can easily identify their characteristics and they can easily be portrayed as real people. Rowling was successful at that and created fully developed manikins of sorts, inside which was the complexity and reality that we find within ourselves. Meyer, in comparison, created cardboard cutouts there was nothing to her characters. Bella was a needy girlfriend in lust, Edward was controlling too perfect to be real, and Jacob was demanding and hormonal. The problem, though, came in the ending Meyer became too attached and sought a happy ending for the entire cast of her creations thus, an undesirable and unrealistic ending in which I am extremely disappointed in.brNot to mention, there werent very good messages throughout the books. As an example, the second book basically taught girls that men are the center of our world and without them we collapse entirely. This is further mirrored in the kind of girls in which so bury their noses in the creases of these books maybe Twilight is printed on drug paper and swoon over cardboard.brTwilight was a good laugh, but its wise to stick to Harry Potter.
