Hermione Granger should have ended up with Harry or Krum not Ron

Didn't JK say the same thing, but that it never would have worked with Harry and Hermione because of the "family secret" about them being siblings? Krum was too serious for Hermione. She needed Ron to lighten up her world and bring her a bit of silliness.
Languages never spoken.
Colors that should not be.
Lives never opened.
Eyes that never see.
And then the page is turned, a universe created.
We are gods.

I don't think there is any comparing the two. Harry Potter isn't anything like Twilight and they shouldn't ever be compared. Yes they are both about other worldly creatures but Harry Potter is magic Twilight isn't. Don't get me wrong they are both good but should never be compared or put against one another.perksofbeingme wrote:I notice a lot of people are trying to say twilight is the new harry potter.
Some people (in fact more than I think possible) seem to want to make it some sort of competition. I don't get this personally. I've read both the series (save breaking dawn b/c it hasnt come out yet) and I think that they are both amazing, incredible, the best. But I don't feel there needs to be a competition! ITs silly! You can love both series! You can love Harry and Edward! Nowhere is it written that "thou must love harry and only harry" or "thou cannot love harry b/c thou loveth edward!"
Am I the only one who feels this way?
And I appologize for the rant, I've been holding it in for weeks

- Latest Review: "The Serpent Beguiled Eve" by Acacia Slaton
There is the sense of alienation felt by the main characters and the sense of homecoming. There is the unfolding discovery.
Of course, they are written for vastly different audiences. The first HP is very juvenile and the books develop. Twilight is for a more romantically inclined teen readership, predominantly female while HP is more general.
Of the two I think HP is better written, simply because twilight drags after a while and would have benefitted from a vicious editor. Also, HP take place over a much longer timeframe and has a stronger backstory to support it.
I guess it comes down to what you are looking for.
