I don't know how many of toi have read Harry Potter, but I l’amour them. They are such a great idea, terrificly written, and funny. The characters are real and they déplacer you.
Wow, I pretty much just described Twilight didn't I? :) They're both best sellers, they're both being made into movies. They're both blockbuster hits (Twilight most likely).
I think what makes the major difference between these amazing stories is the author.
I won't lie and say I know a lot about J. K. Rowling but I've seen one interview, and it was enough to convinse me that, no matter how good her livres are, I hate her.
J.K. Rowling is richer than the royal family (a proven fact). And yet she's let fame and fortune go to her head. I saw one interview with her, and she was a nasty, bitter, old, wrench. She did nothing but complain about the "bloody Americans" and how the adaptation of the HP films weren't up to her standards. She was horrible! I dislike her so much that if I saw her on the rue I wouldn't stop her for an autograph, even IF I was carrying one of her livres with me at the time.
Stephenie Meyer on the other hand is so sweet! I haven't read one interview with her where she was being unkind. She réponses the questions, dosn't say anything bad about anyone, she even completely supports the cast, and helps them to better adapt their characters. I would travel to see Stephenie.
Hands down, Stephenie Meyer is going to go farther than J.K. Rowling. Stephenie has just finished the first in another book series (The Host) which so far has gotten wonderful reviews (from the blessed souls who were permitted to read it before it's release date, jerks lol). She doesn't place all her fame and popularity on one book series.
What else has J.K. Rowling wrote besides: How to be a Stuffy British chienne with a Bad Attitude? (Oh she hasn't wrote that either? Too bad, she'd be great at it!) Nothing! She's wrote nothing else. Yeah Harry Potter may carry her until the end of time, but Stephenie is a true author, and she won't stop.
What I'd like to see, plus than anything else, is the jour the Twilight Series bumped Harry Potter 7 down to 2nd best seller. I want to be there watching J.K. Rowling pulling out her nasty bleach blonde hair and screaming about how Meyer is just a bloody American who is less than she because she's British.
Oh, bloody Hell Rowling, doesn't it suck to be seconde to an America? :) *Evil cackle*
(No offense to any of toi British people, I l’amour toi guys! You're our Mother Land :). That and, honestly, most of us are desendants from England. l’amour your country, l’amour your accents, l’amour toi guys. Hate J.K. Rowling. Long live the Queen! lol)
