[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Twilight vs. HP

[Michelle Tague]

I just finished reading Twilight and can't wait to dig in to the next
books... 
I look forward to seeing the movie(s?)...
 
However as good as it was... it is NO Harry Potter... although similar in a 
few ways... Young kids, hidden world, etc... they are totally different.
Period.  
 
Someone else mentioned that the Potter stories (I originally wrote WORLD
there) 
are so not gender specific and have such a vast amount of things going on...
There
really is not comparison.

OK, well I'm back from Twilight, and I have to say I DID enjoy it! A 
definite 'chick flick' according to the guy who was sitting next to me 
and was obviously dragged along by his girlfriend. He kept rolling his 
eyes and sighing at the heavy romantic parts, LOL!
That Cedric/Edward is an extreme hottie though! (sorry, had to say it!)
But yes, it's no Harry Potter. Haven't yet read these books which may 
be more in depth than the movie, but it was a basic love story whereas 
HP is so multi-layered, IMO.
