I was actually happy to see the video that went with your words. I think the rivalry if necessary to draw the audiences, just like myspace and facebook, the 2 options are available and appeal to their audiences in different ways. I prefer vampires over wizards, but I have not read any of the books, to me vampires are more mature than wizards. I enjoy wizards as well though, the ability to preform tricks and spells are marvelous. Perhaps if I ever could conjure some free time I would begin reading either the Twilight or Harry Potter series of books ... Perhaps.
I personally know next to nothing about Twilight (you could call it a committed goal)but seeing the star talk about his direct competitor in such terms was rather...interesting. And you bring up a good point; people should not label themselves as an member of "Team Edward" or "Team Harry." For the love of both vampires and wizards, they're fictional characters, not goddamn political parties.
I am with you 100%! I love Harry Potter ever since I was little. But personally I enjoy Twilight more. But that still didn't stop me from seeing the new HP movie premiere. I've been trying to get my sister to read Twilight since she's a BIG HP fan. She refuses. I dont understand why people can't like both as well. =[ GREAT blog! =]
Ahh harry potter, I must say that i have read all of the stories. (Buff up a little) But anywho, I have never seen or read any of the twilight stuffs so I wont be baised and say anything like that is a drug for a little girls or something. But I like that you just used a video, good touch.
I personally do not like harry potter but i love the twilight saga. But the movies are nothing like the book. Interesting blog.

ReplyDeleteI'm a HUGE fan of...both! Harry has a special place in my heart that not even Edward can take, but I really enjoyed the Twilight saga's love story.
ReplyDeleteTwo very talented artists, two very different stories. I agree that we should be able to equally like them both.
