First off, THANK YOU SO MUCH to Khajitt for editing this for me!!!! So now all the speling and grammar and aparently style too is beter so credit for edits to Khajitt! Thanks again!!!!
Hi again!
I haven’t been on really for the last week, and that’s because I’ve been really sick. I had this awful flu and I felt super lousy, basically all I could do was to lie on the couch drinking ginger ale and watch movies while trying not to move and not to puke.
Anyway though, while I was sick, I had a lot of time on my hands, so first thing I did was watching all of my twilight movies once again. Then I decided that I’d watch the Harry Potter movies (I have them all at my house because my little sister is a big fan) too and I would compare them a little bit. Of course I am probably a bit biased in favor of Twilight because I am such a huge fan of it, but I am trying to be kind and fair in my comparison.
The Twilight movies were definitely better than the Harry Potter ones, and I honestly did like Harry Potter, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t, it’s just that Twilight is just so much better, and here’s why:
1. The Twilight movies stick to the books better. Twilight movies are practically the books, just in film. They stick really closely to the books and don’t make weird changes. Also all of the characters match their descriptions, like Edward, Jacob and Bella – all match their physical descriptions in the books. In HP… not so much. For example, Percy Weasley in HP is supposed to wear glasses, and he didn’t wear them in the movie; Harry’s scar is supposed to be in the middle of his forehead and not way of the side. Thus Harry Potter movies are much less faithful to the books.
2. The Twilight movies have better music. The soundtracks got me into all these awesome Indian and rock bands music, and all the HP soundtracks are just classical melodies. No words or lyrics! I admit that sometimes the music just sets the mood and you don’t need lyrics. That works for a movie, so there is no need to waste resources to make a CD of it. I mean, who listens to boring classical stuff like that? The Twilight soundtracks are real music. The Harry Potter soundtracks are just made by people trying to make a quick buck.
3. The Twilight movies don’t drastically change the characters’ appearances. For example, Dumbledore looked completely different after the first two movies – there were major costume, wig and makeup changes. It was almost like a whole different person. I mean, seriously, that’s just awful that they did that! I do admit that the actor who played Dumbledore after the second movie was better, but couldn’t they make him look the same? And Malfoy had his hair slicked back in the first 2 movies, and then they just let it out, and then in the 6th movies, they put gel in it again! Make up your mind! And Hermione! She has frizzy hair in the first two, and then cute waves in the rest. I mean seriously, be realistic! Don’t change character appearances like that!
4. The Twilight movies are really meaningful. There’s awesome dialogue sequences and they talk about important stuff. The Harry Potter movies are mainly just a ton of action and yes, these is some important dialogue, but not as much as Twilight. And most of the important stuff gets cut out of the movies. Remember the 6th movie? It was almost nothing like the book, and they cut out most of the memories Dumbledore shows Harry!
5. Ok, this isn’t a reason why Twilight is better, but I would just like to state that the Harry Potter movies have really good special effects. For example, they made Hagrid look huge, all the characters look freaky and wizardly, and they made a castle and dragons, so go HP special effects guys! And Twilight had awesome special effects too, like the vampires sparkling and the super speed and strength and things like that, not to mention all the blood, so go Twilight special effects guys too!
6. Twilight just has a better plot. That is all.
7. And the Twilight characters are better looking too.
Anyway, thanks for reading.
