Comments on: Potter and Twilight: The Wall Street Journal’s Take http://www.twilightlexicon.com/2009/07/10/potter-and-twilight-the-wall-street-journals-take/ A Twilight Saga Fansite Mon, 22 Mar 2010 07:17:08 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Christina http://www.twilightlexicon.com/2009/07/10/potter-and-twilight-the-wall-street-journals-take/comment-page-2/#comment-209080 Christina Wed, 15 Jul 2009 08:41:27 +0000 http://www.twilightlexicon.com/?p=9054#comment-209080 Yes, actually I did read the article. The point of my posting is whether they are comparing them in marketing, box office revenue or best sellers list the comparisons are pointless. I really do think that it is time for all the analyst to step aside and let the fans decide what we want to see. I just watched HP6 and they showed New Moon teases and everyone was as excited about the preview as they were for the actual movie to start. Yes, actually I did read the article.

Twilight is moving very fast and sustains the suspence. People will only see harry potter because they saw the first 5 but like me i forgot the book and wont remember anything. Twilight intrigues its readers and are easy to reread if forgoten (but who could ever for get Bella Edward and JACOB<33) Harry Potter was there first however they took way too long to film all 7 books.

Like actually read it? The article is talking about how the MARKETING, NOT the BOOKS are somewhat similiar, the POSTERS, NOT the BOOKS seem almost like they are being copied from Twilight. It isn't saying that HP is copying romance from Twilight. Like I said, people automatically see copying/comparing Twilight and Harry Potter in the same space and that's all that is focused on and not what is written between those words. No one has once touched on the actual article, only that there is no way HP is copying Twilight with romance. We all know we can read, so let's read it the way it's suppose to be read. Would you read Twilight or Harry Potter that way? Just picking out certain words? I don't think so, so don't do it with other things. Focus, read it the way it's suppose to be and all would be good. Here is a link to the posters that they are talking about in the article. What they are saying is somewhat copying, remember NOT the BOOKS being copied but the MARKETING. http://www.empireonline.com/news/feed.asp?NID=25087 Seriously does anyone read anything?

I dont think they should be competing. I have read both series multiple times because they are well written. If they came out the same weekend them I would spent my weekend at the theater.

Can't we just love both Harry Potter and Edward. I love the books but I have difficulty loving the movies because they have turned the two series I love into a fight match over which can have more fans and profits. Who cares what the companies are scheming to do to keep me interested in the story. I think this whole argument over which series is better is starting to get on everyone’s nerves.
