Adventures, Love, and Harry Potter
Adventures, Love, and Harry Potter
The generation of people being raised right now is obsessed with pop culture. Music, television, celebrities, fashion, movies, and books all have a significant impact on this generation. This generation’s morals and personalities are being shaped by the pop culture that surrounds us. Years from now, people will still be a product of two very popular book and movie series that have greatly effected our pop culture: Harry Potter and Twilight. Both have brought new fashion and trends to the world and it is not uncommon for you to hear references to the books on a day-to-day basis, but more importantly, both series have brought extremely different examples of love to this generation. Even though the Harry Potter series is better known for its adventurous side, it contains more and healthier examples of love than the Twilight series.
The Harry Potter series is a thrilling set of seven novels or eight movies that tell a story of a young boy who is a wizard and begins his journey in the wizarding world by attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizarding. His life becomes conflicted when a dark magic wizard, named Voldemort, attempts to take over the wizarding world by killing anyone who gets in his way including Harry’s parents when Harry was just a baby. The series presents Voldemort’s gain of power and Harry’s attempt to stop the dark wizard; it ends in the thrilling Battle of Hogwarts where it is decided once and for all who the greatest wizard of all time is. The Twilight series, on the other hand, is four novels or five movies about a young girl, Bella, who moves to live with her father and falls in love with a boy; the young boy, Edward, turns out to be a vampire. The novels display their love story and the trials the couple share such as Bella’s friend Jacob falling in love with Bella, Bella’s will to become a vampire for Edward, and the vampire royalty disapproving their relationship.
