The Twilight vs. Harry Potter Debate: n to Question #2
Examiner.com
Annalisa Freeman:What amazes me most about Harry Potter is the depth of the story and that the intricacy of the plot was planned from the first chapter. While each book stands alone for its entertainment value the age appropriate battles he fights are preparing him for the eventual outcome after all those who protect him are removed and he must face Voldemort alone. Harry is constantly gaining more experience in the magical world and learning about his own past in order to prepare for the epic battle. The seemingly meaningless but fun facts throughout the books end up being vital to the storyline. JKR takes minor items she plants in each book and makes them integral parts of the story: Dumbledore’s illuminator is left for Ron; Harry’s cloak turns out to be one of the three hallows and Tom’s journal a horcrux; the crazy Divination teacher has a purpose as does Snape’s worst memory; slow exploration of the Black house that unveils a strange necklace and a family tree is very important; even an overheard conversation between Dumbledore and Snape is the first clue that things are not as they seem in Half-Blood Prince.

” The saying might be Daniel Radcliffe’s rallying cry but there’s more to Radcliffe than a wizard with a scar. Nineteen-year-old Radcliffe famously bared his buns on both the West End and Broadway in a restaging of “Equus” Peter Shaffer’s play about a stable boy’s psycho-religious fascination with horses and the psychiatrist who tries to help him. He’s also appeared in the Australian film “The December Boys” as Rudyard Kipling’s son in the TV movie “My Son Jack” (pictured) and as randy version of himself in “Extras. ” Last January it was announced that Radcliffe would play Dan Eldon the real-life young photojournalist who was beaten to death by an angry crowd in Mogadishu Somalia.

Stephenie MeyerI feel a little guilty about this one I told my fellow writers to try to stick to Movie & TV celebrities as much as possible and yet here I am including an author. But at the same time Meyer is responsible for the Twilight empire which like Harry Potter before it has now transcended the world of literature and become a full-blown pop-culture phenomenon. The only question iswhy? I read the first Twilight book because I work at a bookstore and wanted to know what the big deal was. I’m not one of those guys who complain about how the books interpretation of vampires is doing damage to the horror genre or anything like that. In fact I think that’s a pretty moronic argument the very reason the vampire has remained such a popular monster over centuries is because it can be constantly reinvented.
