harry potter vs crepúsculo Pregunta

Can I get some Twilight (and Harry Potter) fans to defend this argument please?

I saw a picture the other día with the statement:

"Harry Potter is about confronting fears, finding inner strength, and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend."

Several people comentó that it wasn't even true, but they failed to defend themselves. Can someone please explain to me why they think this statement isn't true?

Harry Potter is also about good versus evil (that's pretty obvious), coming of age (Harry goes, literally, from a little boy who got picked on, to an adult who defeated a mass-murderer), loyalty (people who are unloyal are the "bad guys"/something bad happens to them, while the people who are loyal are reward/are the "good guys"), there's más to people than first impressions/everyone has light and dark to them (again, obvious), amor is the most powerful weapon (again, obvious).

Twilight is about finding your place (Bella always felt that she didn't belong anywhere. When she met the Cullens she finally found where she belonged), never let go of your dreams (Bella never let go of the hope that she and Edward would get back together. They did and she got her wish of becoming a vampire).

I would have written an answer, but tu covered it nicely. I think it also shows courage and amor - Bella refused to give up her child, although it was sucking the life from her.

Nice defense. I may have my own personal opinions about why the other themes in Twilight aren't legitimate, but those are my opinions, not fact, and I think tu did a very nice job defending both series :D

Actually, I've dicho something to contradict that quote many times. It's a very stupid quote any irritates me to no end... I don't do it every time I see it because it becomes too redundant.

This quote is addressing the morals and lessons of each series. Harry Potter has many más lessons than mentioned in that quote, And I think many people know that.
None of the morals and lessons in Twilight have anything to do with having a boyfriend.

There's the lesson of Good vs Evil, where good=resistance and evil=temptation AND where good=knowledge/understanding/tolerence and Evil=intolerence/passing judgements. It teaches tu that tu don't have to be o do what everyone expects of you. tu can do anything tu set your mind to. Good things come to those who wait. Abstinance is good, but it isn't the answer to everything. Simply getting married won't make tu happy. Don't immediately judge something just because tu fear it. Never lose hope and stick por your beliefs.

it's just that w/ Meyer's mucked up narration, the other "themes", if there are any, aren't properly emphasized.

well, i agree/concur!
i cant really tell tu what they think and even if i could it would be super baised.
so i could try and speculate.
so, my guess and just to add on twilight and hp ppl are very protective of their sides. so the\ moment they heard an insulting comentario they jump right at it and start insulting. it could be that the people disagree that the fact that having a boyfriend is important to the show. which if i put myself in their shoes, i would think that the mostrar is más about how to get a guy(s) to fall head over heals for tu then the fact that its important to teh boyfriends o they just think that Hp is más about people with wands fighting a guy with no actually nose (no offense to voldemort fans just stating an example) yeah thats what i think. but there could be tons of más reasons why.. so yeah. that my interpretation.

Well I agree with the statement about Harry Potter, :P

I don't think Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend. Yes, the plot does center around Bella and her romances, but that's BECAUSE it's a romance story. Plenty of other romance stories probably also have plots centered around someone and their boyfriend.
I haven't seen the Twilight libros in any way stress that it's IMPORTANT to have a boyfriend. Just because the book centers around someone with a boyfriend doesn't mean it's trying to convey the message that it's important to have one.
I mean, It did seem that Bella fit in better with the Cullens than anyone else, so tu could say they're about finding your place, kind of like Cassie said.

Twilight is about love, fights, enemies and onbelievable monsters. It is about the amor for a girls, which several people love, and about the fights it brings with it. About the choices tu have to make, and how that effects others. It is about life, and the unfairness of it. It comes to an end everyone likes. It shows that, when tu are good, tu will get something for it, wether it is love, o just a wonderful family, it will be good.
