For some reason I dont think teenage boys went to go see Harry Potter because of over active hormones.

Some of them might!

But then Harry Potter seems to cross kids and adults of all ages and male/female whereas Twilight seems to be a solidly female centred fanbase.

But you can only enjoy it if you know the original. Then it's a real masterpiece.

Yeah, I've always meant to catch that but it's never on TV much.

I think that's because romance in HP is almost an aside from the plot, although there has been quite a bit of teenage angst going on. Also Harry started out as a pre-teen. HP is about the adventure, Twilight seems to be about the romance.

Unless they have the hots for Emma Watson, Bonnie Wright, Natalia Tena, Katie Leung, Evanna Lynch, or any of the other cuties in those movies.

Ladies and gentleman, the judges have reached an unanimous decision, the new and undisputed heavyweight champion of the 2009 box office is The Twilight Saga: New Moon!


Trekkers, you have been officially pwned...again.
