A/N: So, here's the third installment of "Harry Potter vs. Twilight: the debate." Since my responses to these next two points are shorter than my previous two, I decided that I would combine them into one chapter. This is something that I'll probably do in the future as well, since some points don't require as long responses as others. I don't own Harry Potter or Twilight, and this chapter contains spoilers for Harry Potter, though there aren't really any here for Twilight. Thanks for reading, and feel free to respond with your own thoughts and opinions, whether they're pro-Harry Potter, pro-Twilight, or neither of the two!
And Harry, unkile Edward, drags everyone arround him into his own problems. That's horrible for someone whose suposed to be the hero!
Harry never drags anyone into his problems, they chose to help him because they care about him. In fact there are several times when Harry tries to tell people not to help him because he doesn't want them to get hurt, but they always decide to stick with him, even if it means they could lose their lives. They do this because that's what loved ones do for each other, they help and support one another, even when it could put them in danger. One example of this occurs in the beginning of the Deathly Hallows. In order to get Harry to a safe house, where he'll be protected from Voldemort, six of his friends drink Polyjuice Potion, which will make them look like Harry, so that they can act as decoys. When Harry hears this he responds "if you think I'm going to let six people risk their lives - !" making it clear that he doesn't people to be putting their lives at risk for his safety, but as Mad-Eye Moody insists, "they're all prepared to take the risk." This is not the first, nor the last time that this conversation occurs throughout the series, but in the end, Harry's friends are more than willing to stand by his side and help him, even if it means putting their lives at risk
And Voldemort, he's just violent! I hear a lot of people die, who wants to read about that? I mean, people die in Twilight, but come on, those are small things readers can handle. But Harry Potter? That's just depressing.
Of course Voldemort's violent, that's why he's the villain of the series. In fact, given his racist based violence and determination to create a "pure" wizarding race, one could easily draw a comparison between Voldemort and Hitler.
As far as character deaths go, yes I was sad when characters like Dobby, Fred, Snape, Lupin, and Tonks died, but I'm still glad that Rowling was willing to sacrifice some of her characters because that makes the story more realistic. It is simply inconceivable that a war such as the one presented in Harry Potter could take place, and have not a single good guy die. That just doesn't happen in real life.
