Question
Which is better harry potter or the twilight series?
Answer
Just look compare the endings and how the books were wrapped up!brbrJ.K. Rowling is one of the most famous authors in history. Did Ms. Rowling live up to the hype? For that, amongst hundreds of questions, is really the only question that matters. The answer, most assuredly, is YES. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is told in a strikingly different style than the previous six books even different from The Half Blood Prince, and, I daresay, its a better written, better edited, tighter narrative. And while the action is lively and well paced throughout, Rowling found a way to answer most of our questions while introducing new and complex ideas. What fascinated me was this Some people were right, with regard to who is good, who is bad, who will live, who will die but almost nobody got the quotwhyquot part correct. I truthfully expected an exciting but rather predictable ending, but instead was thrown for a loop. Weve known that Rowling is fiendishly clever for years but I didnt think she was this clever. brbrMeanwhile, we have Breaking Dawn. sigh. The first three were interesting and she could have ending it with a bang. But, did she? NO.brbrThe first three novels set up a scenario with, I think, four primary things we, the readers, were looking forward to seeing get satisfactorily concluded. brbr. BELLA AND EDWARD FINALLY PHYSICALLY CONSUMMATING THEIR RELATIONSHIP. brbrWow, were we ever strung along through thick books of desire and denial, passion and restraint with these two characters. Didnt we look forward to some level of intimacy being introduced in this finale? But what do we get? A barelyinsinuated gettogether with a rather rapid fade to black, then its the next morning for them. I had to go back a few pages, thinking, quotWait... What? Did they do it or not?quot OK, I understand the delicate situation here for a writer, seeing as her audience is primarily a younger generation. But thats no excuse. If you compare this situation to that of the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I hate to, as it insults that show, which was also begun aimed at a young, teenage audience, the writers realized that as that show grew and matured over time, so did its audience, and thus, the show gradually became more adult in its themes. Stephenie Meyer had the perfect opportunity here of giving young girls some hint of what they should expect from newly discovered intimacy, and how they should be treated in such a situation. She could have handled it subtly at least have a passionate kissing scene leading into the fade to black. Something MORE than the bland, empty scene we got. But apparently she thought that would be too mature for her audience. brbrYet having a scene where Edward bites through the fetal sack of Bellas bonecrushing parasite baby, with blood splattered all over the place was better? brbr. EDWARD MAKING BELLA A VAMPIRE. brbrAgain, we were strung along. Bella pleaded for this through three novels. She insisted it be Edward who make her one of them, thus setting up the idea that, despite the fact becoming a vampire would be very painful for her, all of that would be preceded by some intense and passionate moment where he actually bites her. Isnt this the whole point of a romantic vampire novel? The girl actually and finally gets bitten?! I think we were also curious as to how that would play out. Would he be able to control himself and not kill her when he did this? brbrInstead, what did we get? Edward injecting her with a venomfilled hypodermic, after a particularly horrid scene of childbirth. brbr. SEEING WHAT BELLA WOULD BE LIKE AS A VAMPIRE. brbrWe were led up to this point, with the warnings she might be a monster. I dont know about you, but I was looking forward to seeing sweet, clumsy, awkward Bella becoming a complete nut for a while. I thought it also plausible and even a fascinating idea that she might become the major threat in the last novel. The quotvillainquot. How cool might that have been? The Volturi would come to try and stop her, but with her powers of resistance, even they would have a difficult time bringing her under control... brbrInstead, Bella was tame, unaffected. In fact, she became BORING. brbr. DECISIONS, DECISIONS. WOULD BELLA CHOOSE EDWARD OR JACOB? brbrThere was really no question shed choose Edward, but what would happen to Jacob? How would that be resolved? Would he give himself over to the wild completely, or die to resolve this? brbrThe answer we got Have him imprint on Bellas BABY, for crying out loud! Even though wed previously been given the distinct impression hed already imprinted on Bella, and there was no way around that. brbrCONCLUSION I have a hard time imagining how true fans of this series were happy with this last novel. Even the characters didnt seem like themselves, to the sad point where I felt like the chemistry between Bella and Edward was completely dead. As I was reading this book, I sometimes wondered if some other b
