It's
a logical comparison. They're both stories about the occult (vampires
and wizards are connected in our minds thanks to Halloween) in which a
character stumbles into knowledge of them "in the real world." They
revolve around an outsider (Harry, while a wizard by birth, serves as
the outsider to the world, learning about as the reader does) becomming
emmersed in said world that he/she might have previously only thought
of as fairy tales and learns how misinformed we are about them, thus a
modernized and "corrected" information about these beings is given
& explored.
From a sales standpoint, they're classified as
adult fiction but have readership of both young & old alike.
They're viral in popularity and are having big budget movies made of
them.
As far as comparisons, that's where it ends. As we all
know Twilight is a pathetic play-by-play involving characters that are
difficult to even -like-, written like teenage fanfiction, and seem to
rely heavily on the use of a thesauras & wikipedia. We all know
that HP is none of those things. |
