Harry Potter - Official Thread 2!

We had a couple before but they died a looong time ago. You can make one if you want. :]
I think you should read Twilight, when you're done with HP of course.

I don't want to appear like you have to like HP better because I do.

I started to lose interest in the film whenever Jacob wasn't onscreen, I have to be honest.
Jacob's the only character I really adore. But I have to admit Emmett is adorable, Jasper's amazing and I do love me some Alice. But Bella and Edward, mehhh.

ANYWAY, that kinda talk isn't for this thread.

...
I think I've found my best friend xD
THANK YOUUU :3

Haha. Nahh I like Twilight cause of the non obsessed loving guys.[and girl] ;D
But anywho. Harry Potter is more in depth. & has life lessons. Or am I the only one who finds life lessons in books? XD
@ Steven. We had one. Then hated Stephenie,because after she got money. She ate her heart out. u_u

Bleh. No offense. But I can NOT stand people who read books out of popularity. It's annoying.
I never read Twilight cause people did. The plot at first was stupid when I heard about it,but my friend begged me to read it. It's okay.

i read them for popularity because thats what get me into books
and i want to read HP because it sounds so good and almost everyone has read them so I have gotten influenced
and the only 'popular' books that I wanna read are the Twilight ones
thats all!

Most guys read em' so they can pick up girls xD
I read books based off of recommendations. I never look at 'best sellers'

I've read them because my teacher read us Philosiphers Stone when I was little.

EDIT; Yeah I'm five posts late now. {rolleyes}

LOL yeah, there's always morals and life lessons in books, and soemtimes even movies, although you don't always knowingly digest it.
I think the reason I like HP better is because;

1) I grew up with it. I can't just exchange this love of a series that I've had for such a long time for some new franchise. Like I say, I don't hate Twilight anymore. Don't love it, don't hate it.
2) I can relate to the characters in HP, and I'm incredibly fond of them all. I can't really relate to many of the issues in Twilight.
3) I like the feeling of connectivity and the world that HP provides. It's like an escape. Hogwarts is like a fictional, second home.
4) I obviously have a natural pulling toward wizards over vampires or werewolves.
5) HP is a million times more intricate and in-depth. There's obviously an exhausting amount of work put into the HP books.
7) It's prominently more original than Twilight.
6) I like reading the characters grow and mature. You read/watch them grow up. I love this element.

Okay and I'm done.

There are more reasons, but these are the ones that jump at me.

to pick up girls?
i never thought of that  {rolleyes}
thanks [removed] 
J/K, I won`t do that

I`m going to get all the HP books out right now
and they`re back in my closet downstairs in a box..
I feel bad 
I think they have collected dust over time...

My 5th grade teacher read 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' First series I read.

Oh yes!
I can relate to the main ones. Except Luna. I wish I was as carefree as her
