Stephenie Meyer vrs. J. K. Rowling

Yeah. I suppose you have a point there. Even though the HP films were good, she was probably expecting another Lord Of The Rings. Sephenie is by far better.

Yeah I am pretty sure your right.
Damn J.K and her British-ness. (No offense... love British people)
And whats the deal with the encyclopedia? Whatev...

No offence, but why do you have to be so negative about her, she's a great author. The Harry Potter movies were horrible compared to the books and if I was an author I'd be angry too.

I actually think the Harry Potter movies are really good for what they can work with. The character choices were perfect and the shows are great. I don't like her because she's a negative old ronch. She is a great author, but that doesn't mean she's a nice person. That's all I'm saying. I complimented her on her work in my soapbox. There's no doubt that writing all those books took talent.

shortynme, I love you, but...

#1. Not all Twilight charaters are realistic.
(ex: Edward Cullen, and I'm NOT talking about the vampire factor)

#2. J. K. Rowling isn't a bad person.
You can't base your opinon on one interview! That isn't fair to her honestly. :(

#3. Have you SEEN that last Harry Potter movie? It was worse than a car crash. (HP & GF wasn't great either.) I totally agree with her.

Well yes, the movies DID suck. But JK Rowling is a total bitch, I will agree with you on that.

Thank you Spotty-Vision21. Sorry Lunatic but I said I only watched one interview with her and that was enough. But anything I've heard of her since was bad as well. But because I didn't watch the whole thing, or read the whole thing, I didn't bother using them. I like the Harry Potter movies too. I think they're great. lol you're right though, Edward Cullen is not real. But Stephenie makes him (and everyone else) real to us. How else to you explain the made obsession everyone has?

SMEYER!! ALL THE WAY BUDDY!

I think thats a bit too harsh, maybe JK Rowling doesn't come across as sweet as Meyer, but that doesn't mean she's a bad person, I mean she has to be pretty amazing to write something as incredible as the Harry Potter series. Plus the films do suck as adaptations of the books. The two authors can't really be compared, as they are sooo wonderfully different!

I've had some reservations about the way JKR has been behaving after the release of the final book. I've loved her series and became a serious Potterhead (we're talking dressing up in Ravenclaw robes and attending HP conventions here) and I had admired how JKR rose to the top from virtual nothingness.

Then she got to the top and things suddenly looked bleak. She began to do stuff like making special editions of her works (like "the Tales of Beedle the Bard" book, the 800-page HP prequel) available ONLY at auctions. This means only those who are obscenely rich get to read them. How is this fair to the fans who'd spent so much money on her franchise already? People who can barely afford a $20 book saved up to buy her whole damn series over time, and only those who can afford to dish out millions of dollars get their hands on those works. I know she wants to do something for charity and her heart is, I suppose, in the right place (even this is becoming questionable, actually), but there has to be a way to raise money without annoying the fans.

Then there's the whole mess with Steve Vander Ark. Since I don't know what the whole truth is (none of us know except those who are directly involved in the case), it's hard to guage who's right and who's wrong. My guess is that they were both wrong. How much of taxpayer's $$$ are going to this case anyway?!

Seems money does change people, especially those who are nouveau-riche like she is. Those who come from old money know a little better, but even then there's no guarantee.

I hope SM will never get to that point where money becomes a bigger issue. I doubt that will happen because she has a very different background from JKR, and mentally, she seems more healthy that JKR (no suicide attempts in SM's past that we know of).

Wow, that's pretty crazy. You would think that someone who came from such a humble begging would remember that and be grateful. But we can't hope that all people are this good. I just don't like J.K. Rowling as a person.

I gotta say that...I feel sorry 4 you shortynme you can't talk like that about people you DON'T KNOW, cuz you don't know her at all!...maybe she was angry in that interview you saw and i agree with everybody the movies DID suck!, I really like SM's books and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE The Hole Harry Potter books she is very talented that's why she is richer than the queen! ok? so next time you try to critisize someone who's more talented THAN YOU ARE! THINK!

P.D. if I made a mistake forgive me...English is not my language...
I speak spanish.
Si se pudiera odiar a una persona con solo verla, te odiaria a ti por hacerte pasar como alguien muy importante para criticar a alguien tan talentosa.
Ambas son GENIALES (They're both great writers!)

excuseme, I could care less if you feel sorry for me or not. It was a state of opinion. I complimented J.K. Rowling's work, I love Harry Potter, but I insulted the author. Just because you can write doesn't mean you're kind. By the way, how do you know J.K. Rowling is more talented than me? You don't know me so by no means could know that. I may not be an author but that doesn't mean she has more talent. So maybe you should keep your judgmental opinions to yourself.

I've never seen an interview with either author, but I believe that both the series are wonderful. I doubt J.K. could be as awful as you describe, but maybe you're right, shortynme. I agree, just because you can write doesn't mean you're kind. That was a very well written article, and I can totally see where you're coming from. :)

I adore J.K. Rowling's work. Not only did she create the massive HP phenomenon, but she gave way to an entire magical world. Her characters mature and develop through the series in ways that Stephanie Meyer hasn't yet achieved. I'm not saying that I dislike Meyer, I mean, have you seen my user name lol? I guess I believe hate is a strong word to use against J.K. Although you may not agree with what she said in that interview she is as entitled to her opinion as you are yours. They are both amazing writers and I look forward to seeing more of their work in the future :)

Everyone is entitled to a rant here and there. I don't know if you've seen the EW interview with SM, but its basically her putting herself on the same level with JK. She even quotes some annoying eleven year old who claims to be some sort hardass literary critic who hates harry potter but loves twilight. Jk might have been a bitch in that interview, but stephenie is just pathetic.

I have to agree with shortynme about the fact that Stephenie Meyer is a better author. She is a nicer person and doesn't hold wierd press conferences to get attention(I mean really! Dumbledore gay?). If J.K. Rowling really wanted to get attention she should've starting writing again. I'm not trying to disclaim the Harry Potter books because they were very good. Rowling got greedy after all the fame she got from her books and the movies. And with the fact that the Twilight series has more sales than Harry Potter. I guess this would be the time to be drastic. Yes, I know Rowling has written more books, but its not how you start its how you finish. Stephenie Meyer will have more best sellers. Don't underestimate the power of teenage girls. We can't wait for Stephenie Meyer's new book Breaking Dawn and to see Twilight(the movie).

I absolutely positively DO NOT agree with that article that shortynme wrote. Why the hell are you judging JK by 1 interview?!?!? Maybe she was just having a bad day.. i mean like shes done how many interviews and had to smile how many times? Meyer is just getting started, im sure she'll have a bad day eventually! and JK even co-founded a charity for children and donates a lot- u dont get much nicer than that!!!

Im not denying that Steph Meyer is a fantastic author. I love her characters (who can hate Edward??) but i think JK's novels have so much MORE to them. She is not a bad person! Fame and fortune is NOT going to her head and she is not greedy, again, I am not just making excuses. People go looking for her, asking for intervies, people want to here her talk- its nice of her to take the time to go to them!

its completely understandable that she is mad about the more recent of her movies- they started falling apart after the second (when others started having more control over them).

You (shortynme) said that people shouldnt be so judgmental of you but look at how your critisizing JK, do you know her other than the ONE inteview you watched? no! so shut up!

Judge a person just by an interview? Not to mention your very biased attitude and personal prejudice against Jo, I can say that everything you write above is just a stupid rant from an angry fan of Twilight and SMeyer the bitch who envy the success of HP and the fame of JKR which Twilight and Meyer can't never be leveled with. The HP films are becoming more of pure failure than ever compared to the books. What's wrong if Jo expressed her disappointment towards the films? Have U ever notice teh fact that Jo is one of the most notable philanthropists in Britain? The fact that she donated all the money from Beedle the bard auction to The Children's Voice charity campaign? Saying that Jo writes nothing beside HP does not make her a true author like your "godly Meyer" is the most ridiculous statement I've known in my whole life. Emily bronte was forever remembered in world literature for her first and only work Wuthering Heights. The same goes to Harper lee with "To kill a mocking bird". And Tolkien spent his whole life devoting to LOTR and LOTR related stuffs. What about the so-called "New JKR" Meyer? The sucking Breaking Dumb just insults readers' intelligence. Poor writing, full of plot holes, inconsistencies, grammatical errors, typos etc. The host is just a romanticized version of Speaker for the Dead. I hardly find any original thoughts in Meyer's works and her sue characters are too unrealistic. I don't know how talented you are but the way you insult the author gives me a feeling of you as a very ill-witted person.

i hate the books and her.

Here Here! exept for the bad language.........

it scares me how you much you hate her. you have never met j k rowling. are you jealous of her or something? what's she ever done to you? it was a interview. just cos you don't like how someone acts doesn't mean you cant talk about them like that. imagine if she read this it would really hurt her feelings.

I think this is pointless debating over an opinion article. Why cant you guys just get along? Galadree, have you EVEN READ the Twilight Series before you could go on babbling about how Stephenie sucks? Have you read as you call do 'Breaking Dumb'? Have you? I respect each of your opinion but its POINTLESS debating about an OPINION article. Let shortynme write what she wants to, let TwilightManiac write what she wants to. Even though Im a Twilight fan, it doesnt mean that I think JK sucks or anything, I havent even read her books coz I didnt even manage one coz I though it was to formally written =P Anyway its my opinion. Also, if you say Twilight sucks so much (for Twilight haters), think first before you say. Have you ever read the books? Why do you think Twilight has more fans (in fanpop) than HP? Why do you think there is SO many Twilight obsessed-crazy-fangirls (in a good way)? Why do you think Twilight sold #1 best seller? Why do you think there is the Twilight Phenomenon? Why do you think in mostly every corner all you see is Edward Cullens? They even invented words from Twilight (like Cullenism, or Obsessive Cullen Disorders [OCD])! Also, when some people say HP movies suck and mostly because you 'compare' them to the books? Of course it would suck! Lets say, you havent read the book or you DONT compare the HP movies to the book, would you say they still suck? I mean, to me, I think the characters were great, the plot was great, the visual graphics was awesome and well the magic was really alive! Smae goes with Twilight movies and books. I think the main reason why people usually say books that has movies suck is because they COMPARE those two. Dont compare two different things, its useless! Anyway i dont want to start a debate and i dont wanna cause any trouble so people, this is just MY opinion alright. Im not taking sides between the authors but all I know is that im a huge Twilight fan =D I couldnt care less what people say! I know someday Twilight will be really popular! Also, i cant believe this article is rated so low when its just an OPINION article! Its not a fact or anything! Geez!

Btw 5/5 for stating our opinion =3

i totally agree with you. its not that i dont like the books i havent read all of them but i jus dont think they catch ur attention. twilight is by far the best.... TWILIGHT RULES!!!. and i DO NOT like j.k roling. love you stephenie meyer!!!!!!!

I can not agree with this in any level.
I have read all but the last part of "Breaking Dawn" which has been sitting in my book shelf, untouched, other than to move it so I can put another book up or take one down, for well over a month.
Dear girl, you can't base all your opinions of JKR on 1 interview- that you didn't even fully watch-... To what I have heard and seen JKR is a very respectable person.
Correct me if I am wrong, but when she said the thing about Dumbledore being gay, that was a question from a fan at a book signing or something of sorts. It never even made that big a story, well where I live..., but for a little bit and then was put to rest.
SMeyer got the Twilight thing from a DREAM, and even a Pattinson hated Twilight. Claiming it to be " like reading her sexual fantasy, especially when she said it was based on a dream..."

Really, people, these AREN'T real vampires. If you want really good vampires and a messed up love story minus the High School and Werewolf imprint sh*t, read "I am Legend" -NOT the movie. The book!!- or a Anne Rice book. I find them to be a lot better than this 'vampire' fantasy SMeyer has conjured.
Honestly, this is so messed up, Vampires were thought to be something only the 'emo' kids liked till Twilight came out with their 'vampires' and now vampires are 'all the rage'...
I do not recall vampires ever sparkling in the sun. I recall them sprawling in the sun in pain as they withered though. :]
And their eyes don't change when they are 'hungry'. Or them having special powers other than seductiveness and 'turning into bats' as some do.
I honestly, I liked the first book, Twilight, I didn't care for any of the others. If they would have made like the Cullen's werewolves and did something else with Jacob and Billy it may have been pretty good.
If any of you knew a good book, Twilight wouldn't be the first on your list. Find something with more life, more development, more plot.
I appreciate your stating your own opinions, but I am only stating mine and saying this is complete Bull. Thanks. :]

There had to be 7 HP books on account of the whole 7 years of Hogwarts thing. There didn't HAVE to be 4 Twilight books. Stephanie Meyer said that she only meant to write one so she is big headed by writing more. JKR might be writing something new at the moment we just don't know because onlt released the last HP book two summers ago and takes a really long time to write a book. JKR is definatley a rags to riches story. And there a plenty of famous people richer than the queen. You don't get paid to be the queen.

And most of the Twilight Charaters don't move me:
Edward- Emotionally abusive. Controlling.
Bella- Annoying. Weak. Bitchy. Conceited.

Need I say more?

You must have your head in the clouds if you even think for one second that Stephenie Meyer is a better author or person than J.k Rowling. Oh okay so ONE interview and suddenly shes queen bitch? I've seen more interviews where it's MEYER that is the bitch. "Vampires are fictional I can do whatever I want." She said this in the cockiest tone it was sickening.

You twitards just love to live in denial don't you? J.k Rowling is a better author AND person. J.k Rowling is not GREEDY, oh and to those who said Twilight sold more than HP, check your facts before you say anything. Twilight may have knocked HP7 off the shelf but guess what? It wasn't an immediate knockoff, that book had been at the top for QUITE A TIME before it happened.

If we want to talk about people being greedy, what about MEYER, who wouldn't tell her fans shit and said "you'll have to buy my guide book?" she wouldn't throw her fans a bone, told you, you have to buy her guidebook, which is spending MORE MONEY. J.k Rowling did NOT have to release Beedle the bard for us, she could have kept it as an auction so the highest bidder can pay and SHE doesn't keep the money, she gave it to charity so how is that greedy?

And the only reason Hp was knocked off was because Twilight was becoming popular and most people had already read HP 7. And if we're going that route, Beedle of the Bard knocked Breaking Dawn off the shelf, AND the book isn't even that long. For your information, Harry Potter sold more than Twilight has and ever will. J.k Rowling is a VERY generous person and a hell of a better writer and person than Meyer. Everything J.k wrote that wasn't published to the world, and even things that were, half or all went to CHARITY.

Meyer hasn't done anything I've heard of for the community except give to her church or something, big deal I give money every Sunday. J.k Rowling yes, shes rich, but she got the money with her intellect and she has gone far from a deep hole. Meyer will never come close to her.

This entire page pisses me off, everyone who is saying J.k is a bitch you need to unclog your brains for a second. I know Edward is blocking your mind from working properly but you're going to have to push him aside for a moment so you quit sounding so idiotic.

Oh and to those Twihards that want to try my patience, just for reference, DO NOT ask me if I read your Twilight shit because I DID. Each one. I USED to like them so don't ask me why I keep reading them. Do not tell me to get a life when you're probably online half the day or offline chatting about how hot a fictional character is. Do not tell me to keep my opinions to myself I will speak them until the day I die.

And about Steve Vander Ark, Jk had every RIGHT to sue, it had nothing to do with money as she CLEARLY STATED. He was planning to publish something to do with Harry Potter WITHOUT PERMISSION. That is copywrite infringement and it's against the law. I'm sure Meyer (who had a bitch fit over her book being leaked) would have done the same thing so don't give me that bull.

From what I've read here the only people who think Jk Rowling is a bitch have been brainwashed by that twilight shit. It's a HORRIBLE series with a HORRIBLE author. Twilight is a FAD it WILL NOT last long. Too many people are already annoyed with you stupid fans that they begin to HATE twilight. So no, twilight will not live on, it'll be remembered as the fad that everyone was GLAD ended.

Oh and why are their more fans on fanpop? the same reason why their are more on yahoo answers. you people have NO LIVES. There are more fans of HP than Twilight, the HP fans are just calming down since the HP fandom has no more books. But I'll tell you twihards right now, If Jk decides to write more HP books or any kind of new series, Twilight will be forgotten once more because HP will sit and crush it like the bloody bug it is.

What right do you have to say that Jo is a wench? You've seen one interview! Stephenie Meyer is the world's biggest cash cow and can't stop rambling about her beloved 'saga', if you can even call it that. Jo has started her own charity for single moms and all of the proceeds she recieved from "The Tales of Beedle The Bard" were given to charity. Has Meyer ever done anything like that? No. She's been too busy counting her cash to see that her books are the worst shit I've ever had the displeasure to read.
JK Rowling actually wrote something worth reading. Her books, quite literally, changed my life. They were wonderful, and Jo has such a way with words. She can make you laugh and cry in the same sentence. Meyer can't even bear to kill off any characters! Her characters are flat and emotionless, and there are so many plot holes and contridictions in the books. They're terrible. While the Harry Potter series are my favorite books, I do acknowledge that there are better books out there, but at least Jo had a decent editor. I don't think Meyer's knew how to do her job, or maybe reading all of the grammatical errors, plot holes, and one-demensional characters killed her brain cells. You never know.

Oh and for the record, WHO is the author going on twilightmoms and saying how someone elses books suck? REAL mature of Stephenie huh? I doubt you'll ever see J.k saying that in a public chat forum.

Wow, that is completely ignorant of you, shortnyme. For the record, I hate twilight. But does that mean I hate Stephanie Meyer? No. I don't know her in real life, so I couldn't judge her. Which is EXACTLY why you shouldn't judge JK based on 1 interview that you saw.
Personally, I think that when it comes to being an author, Stephanie Meyer is kind of a brat. I mean, she basically threw a huge hissy-fit when the Midnight Sun manuscript was leaked. JK had her books leaked multiple times, and did she just stop EVERYHING? No. She liked writing that much. But just because Stephanie seems like a brat to me, it doesn't mean I hate her, It just means that I think she's a not-so-great author.

Um, are you sure you're thinking of the same JK Rowling that wrote the HP series? I think you're mistaken. Rowling has started her own charity organization and given to other charities. She also gave the profits of her books, Beedle the Bard, to charity. I can't remember SMeyer doing any of this.

Also, I've seen several SMeyer interviews, and she can come off as incredibly stuck-up. I won't say that she necessarily is this way in person, but a lot of her interviews annoy me.

One more thing. There is no way SMeyer will go farther than Rowling. Harry Potter appealed to millions of people from different age groups across the world. Twilight is mainly sold to teenage girls and their moms. The Host, I've heard, is very similar to Twilight in the themes, so I'm guessing it's the same.

um....are u kidding me. JKR is awesome while SMeyer is the ego-maniac.

She's going to go farther than JKR?

HAHAHA... oh my god, you're serious.

And where the hell did you get your information about JKR complaining about Americans?

Yeah, because Stephenie never blamed the failure of "Breaking Dawn" on her fans.
She never bashed fanfiction of her books.
She never got butthurt over her books getting leaked.
She's the one who read an unpublished copy of her book to a dying fan.
She's the one who gave the all money earned on her latest book to charity.
She co-founded a charity.
And she's not the one who goes about declaring how she wrote the books for herself.
And she's not the one who won't answer fans questions and tells them to buy the guide instead.
And she's not the one who was going to re-write the entire series from the view point of a different character.
And she's not the one who manages to ruin science AND mythology every time she opens her mouth.
(End sarcasm here)

Honestly, you are made of massive amounts of fail. To base your opinion on someone off of a single interview is incredibly stupid (and just WHERE has Rowling ever complained about "the bloody Americans?"). JK Rowling is incredibly generous and kind while Stephenie Meyer keeps all her money to herself and blames her failures on her fans.

Also, so what if Rowling hasn't written anything besides the Harry Potter series? At least she doesn't go writing another series that is the same as her other works, unlike Stephenie Meyer (The Host was just Twilight with Nazi aliens instead of sparklepires).

LOL wow. . . everyone is so hostile. For the record, I really don't read all your negative comments about me so you guys can stop posting them. This article was purely for opinions sake. So chill out all of you. OK?

Haha, you're just pissed because people proved that your little opinion is filled with complete bullshit, and that you are an ignorant and idiotic little asshole. So funny right?

Are you serious...

Are you actually being serious?

You are basing you entire opinion of J.K. Rowling off one interview. I have watched DOCUMENTARIES on the woman, let alone what I have read and she is so down to earth that it's actually a bit odd, considering her wealth. She came from nothing to something and even if you don't like the series you should respect her for that very fact.

Basically I agree with everything that Flammie said.

Until I see a video of you talking face to face with Rowling, I am going to accept your opinion as immature and unreliable.

Okay, first of all: this isn't even about who likes the Harry Potter series or the Twilight Saga better. This is about JK Rowling's attitude. I've seen many interviews with her and shortymne is right. You can't deny that JK Rowling is rude. Not only that, but I lost my faith in her after seeing an article that asked her how she felt about the release of the final Harry Potter book (this was right before it came out). She told them that she was glad, that writing was tiring and she just can't wait for it to be over. So basically she just wrote them all for...what? Money? Yes, she made money from the books, but if that's the only reason she wrote them then I am thoroughly disappointed. I am sad that such fame and wealth was showered upon someone so ungrateful.

SHORTYNME, I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITH YOU.

Nakaru, would your mommy and daddy approve of that last comment?

Thanks bronwen! I really appreciate it. I'm not comparing the books, like I said in my article I love Harry Potter and Twilight. I guess people either can't read or comprehend it. Oh well. :) thanks for your support again bronwen!

Fair enough, it's your opinion. Lets meet up again in fifty years and see what our grandkids think of these whole shenanigans. Time's the great equalizer!

True true.

You're still comparing Meyer to J.K. Rowling. You also compared their works here, as you said Meyer is the 'true author' blah blah. It's also really stupid to say who will go far based on who you think is a bitch.
You should really stop sucking up to only those who agree to you. What Flammie said basically proved your article to be nonsense.

I joined this site just to comment on your ridiculous opinion. First off there is absolutely nothing wrong with Rowling stating that the film wasn't up to her standards. Hell if I were her I'd probably be a lot worse because they really did mess it up. As for your statements on Meyer you really don't know a lot about her do you. First off when doing book signings Meyer doesn't let you bring your own copy of the book, she makes you buy a completely new with extra cost for the signature. Secondly Meyer has actually claimed the The romance between Edward and Bella is better than romances found in the works like Romeo an Juliette, The princess bride, Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights. Meyer has a nasty ego problem with absolutely zero repect for her fans. Proven by the fact that her costly signature is just her initials and she uses chatspeak, you can actually see her signing like this in videos. At least Rowling has the respect to sign her full name.

FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I AGREE COMPLETELY WITH EVERYTHIN SHORTYNME POSTED BECAUSE THEY ALL HAVE VERY LOGICAL POINTS!(just to let you know this is not organized or gramaticaly correct in any way i just typed some points i had to make and sorry if i get off track i have attention defficite hyperactive disorder(adhd)i also curse a lot out of habbit and even thought i realy dont mean anything by)I think we are all intitled to our oppinions but, bushes283, i deffinatly think that justbecause ms doesnt sign her full name doesn't mean she has no respect for her fans, it takes less time and her fans dont have to wait as long and she does the same for everybody at least there is no double standerd; and the series is better than those romances because it combines romance and action. Naraku, I could not dissagree with u more, I used to look up to jkr (and would read the seires out of bordom)because she made it all the way from the bottom to the topand when i watched a couple of her interviews, i lost all respect for her and stopped reading her series. plus it seems to me like she'll end up in rehab and i doubt parents will find her as a good influence so they might make there kid(s) stop reading the series, and then you can forget about her movies going on disney. anyway, because of the twilight saga a lot more people have moved to Forks i hear they now have a tourist atraction. The fact that jkr's books don't have any mistakes makes it to formal and boring (plus a lot of people think the harry potter series is for all ages but most people under ten dont have that attention span for that but most of them cant read half the words in the fuking books). jkr also actions some books so only the rich can get it not caring about her not so rich fans and she should know how much those fans might want to read the story, i wont lie and trie to make me seem a little less like a BASTERD (cuase technicaly i am one and especially since generally people with adhd are higly blunt and dont think before they say things, plus i don't give a DAMN) jkr is a hippocritical BITCH. also who cares that sm did not bring out the usual vampires, actually me, that tells me that she is an origional and she thinks for herself, while jkr did the usual boring nonsence about wizards without much creativity at all. during jkr's interveiws she is like a devil and ms is like an angel. plus the characters in harry potter. harry potter is an impulsive ass hole who is too driven by revenge to think before he acts, in the beggining of the order of the phenix he yelled at herminie and ron because they didnt give him enough information even though they couldnt, near the end of the book he almost jumps after serios without thinking of the consiquenses, and he only thinks to use the contacting devise seriouse gave him after seriuse is dead if he had just thought seriose would still be alive. in the breaking dawn stephanie takes a risk in the book that made it esier for readers to understand the situation from more than just one persons veiw, she has three sections, the first for bella second for jake and third for bella, in my oppinion it was a very inteligent idea that jkr obviously didnt have. they dont make anything like cullenism or obsesive cullen disorder for the harry potter series, proving that twilight fans are also more dedicated than the people who dress up and go to a harry potter convention (and even with all those geeks they still cant come up with anything good), i would also like to add that none of them even make good fanfictions for the series.by the way i HOPE jkr reads this maby next time she writes another book it will have ORIGIONALITY and she'll have more respect for her fans, hell maby she might stop being a bitch, though i highly doubt it. Bottom line is SM and the twilight saga wins the battle hands down and jkr she makes can go suck it just like evey other book she doomed by writing for all i care!

In My Opinion

JK Rowling Is #1

I Adore Harry Potter AND Twilight. But I Honestly Do not Like Stephanie Meyer And That Is MY Opinion.

There Is No Author VERSUS Author. Its Just Fans Stirring Things, trying To Cause Friction between Both Authors. They Have Both Written Amazing books.

And So What If JK Rowling Hasnt Written Anything Else That isnt Harry Potter Realted, She Spent 17 Years Writting Them Books And What A Success Thay have Become. The Story is Well Written Each Book Links Together To the Last One. The Story Line Is VERRY Clever.

It Is Our Own OPINION On Who Is The Better Author.

So STOP Being So Ridiculous :D

"Both Rowling and Meyer, they're speaking directly to young people... The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good." -Stephen King

Need I say more?

Okay. I absolutely love J.K Rowling and I love Stephanie Meyer too, I love J.K Rowling more though. You can't base your judgement on a person by one interview where she was just stating her opinion on her movies. I agree with her, they should have done a better job on the HP movies and their my favourite movies in the world, just because their HP. I agree big time with CullenSparkles because that is just your opinion and personally I'm so sick of reading and hearing This vs This. Unless it is a competition comparing things are just wrong.
I read plenty of comments you added to this post replying to others comments and you wrecked yourself big time, plenty of times. First of all you said in a reply to keep your judgement opinions to yourself so maybe take your own advice and delete this stupid article, there was no good reason in you insulting an author, what good did it do? and plenty of times you kept saying you only watched one interview and didn't finish the others so you don't have an accurate seeing of J.K Rowling do you? So stop being mean and just accept people are DIFFERENT!

Meyer ain't no angel either...

Proof or it never happened.

Q. In what way is Rowling second to Meyer?
A: She's not.

I'm not going to lie, the first time I read Twilight I became possessed by retarded-book-loving demons & refused to read anything else for six months. I literally thought I was going to die if I did not meet someone like Edward. When Breaking Dawn came out, I read it in ten hours (I've read OOTP, HBP & DH in quicker times), and I was left with a crushing sense of disappointment.

Breaking Dawn sucked! I have since given my Twilight books to my sister & despite re-reading them in attempts to like them, I just can't. Every time I do I notice more underlying macabre themes, become frustrated with Stephenie Meyer's poor writing, etc.

J. K. Rowling is a fantastic writer, I've been reading the Harry Potter series since I was six & have now lost track of how many times I've read each book. Her books encompass so many important lessons & have helped shape me as a person. In Twilight it seems like Stephenie Meyer has raped a thesaurus.

I completely & whole-heartedly agree with Stephen King's opinion of Stephenie Meyer's writing as being "not good". He too is a wonderful & immensely succesful writer. In my honest opinion, & the Twitards will disagree, I think Twilight is a fad. In ten years, I very much doubt it will have the huge fan base it does now. Harry Potter is a classic, & one I will make sure my hypothetical children read.

The day a tween romance novel becomes more popular than a fantasy classic is when our world goes down the shitter.
