Harry Potter vs Twilight

Harry Potter, I hate Twilight with a passion. All three main characters made me want punch them. They were unlikable, and Meyer never developed them.

Meyer intentionally left Bella as a blank slate so that young girls could more easily insert themselves into her role.

Don't want the series to be ruined by redundancy.

I think I would hate for this to happen. Films and novels that are written outside of the original plan are rarely any good.

Is anyone else pumped about the next movie? I am! The book was insane.

I also heard J.K. Rowling has not ruled out more Harry Potter books, yussss!

Where did you see this? My impression was that it was a set number of books. I was pretty sad after finishing the series. Make that devastated.

Any word on another Matrix trilogy, or another Mad Max? Because that would be icing on the cake.

I can scarcely contain my enthusiasm about the next movie; I don't think the movies are works of cinematic brilliance by any means, but going to the midnight showing of each movie, costumed, is a tradition for me. I just bought five tix for the midnight showing today!

And as for the possibility of more books - where did you hear that? I'd love to read more of the books, and was pretty damn depressed when I finished book 7 on the day it came out.

I heard about it too, and if she writes more books i dont think she should do any more on harry's adult life as he gets older, but i think it might be cool to sorta rewrite the series from Voldemort's point of view (before i got banned from potterforums.com we were having a debate on whether we thought it should be about Harry's and Ginny's kids or Voldys side). I always love to see the inside of the antagonists mind. I feel if it went on to tell the story of the kids, it'd just be Hogwarts life and whatever, nothing interesting, even if she decided to make one of the death eaters step up to be the new Dark Lord it'd just be a complete repeat of books 1-7

A book from Voldy's point of view? that sounds pretty terrible to me. It'd just ruin all the mystery around him.

Some from Ron or Ginny's or whatever COULD be interesting.... but I really really really don't want her to write more books just for the sake of writing more books, and have them turn out mediocre. Twould put a taste most foul in my mouth.

Like the Epilogue at the end of the Seventh ruined enough -_-

If she did it the way Tolkien did, and wrote about the history of the Wizarding world; I don't know, wrote a story about Dumbledore's youth, or about an alternate school, or about the Order of the Phoenix, or the four original House founders, something like that, I'd be accepting, but as far as I'm concerned, the current story with the current characters is a closed book.
