Twilight is a tale of forbidden love, werewolves and vampires. Opening with a hundred questions then page by page those questions are answered. Bella throws herself into the depths of danger when she falls in love with the “world’s most dangerous predator”, a Vampire.
Harry Potter is a story about how a boy, with a disastrous start to life, is forced to battle the darkest wizard of all time as well as everything else that your everyday teenager has to put up with. Picking up friends and enemies along the way Harry shows courage, desire and compassion.
Both authors have written about a teenage predicament but they both focus on different aspects of that. In twilight Bella is torn between what her mind is telling her and what her heart so desperately wants. She has deal with constant staring and curious remarks from people at school whilst Edward faces the disapproval at home. After showing that no matter what people say or think they were not going to change their minds they start to realise the danger that they are putting themselves in. For Edward it is the fear of exposure and Bella is also in danger of dying which would mean the loss of the first person that Edward has love stronger than a brother sister relationship.
The Harry Potter tale is one with many twist and turns. Each book reveals more secrets, more questions but most importantly more answers. It is a collection that can read again and again and you will always learn something new. Harry has been brutally orphaned by Lord Voldemort but now has gone to Hogwarts where he has made friends in Ron and Hermione, has learnt advanced magic and found out the truth about the connection between him and Lord Voldemort, the truth about his scar and what the prophecy means. He now knows that he must kill Voldemort and accepts his mission with open arms as he is longing to avenge his parents. With his most loyal followers, Ron and Hermione, always be his side this incredible story shows friendship at its strongest. It is a true underdog story with a very important moral: Greed is not as strong as love and friendship.
My personal choice out of the two would be Harry Potter because of the sheer imagination of it. An unthinkable plot accompanied by humour and romance makes it irresistible to any reader.
