I’m very pleased to know that all the main cast members will be back for the final 2 films! CANT WAIT TO SEE IT!
I absolutely hate the twilight movies. Kristen Stewart and Robert pattinson are terrible and ugly actors. The producer for this sucks and I’m sick of Harry Potter being dissed by your stupid crap
You suck at life you Harry potter nerd ! Twilight is twice as great!
Does it really matter, they are both great movie series and I look forward to seeing the finale of both of them. Neither is better then the other because they are from two different genres.
What bout Emmett, they didn’t mention his name in the cast for Breaking Dawn. Is he gonna be there
Yes, Kellan Lutz will be back playing Emmett.
i was impressed with how much better the movies are getting and the fact they are getting closer with the books in each movie made. the only thing pissing me off like crazy is the fact that they are making breaking dawn a two part movie, airing one in 2011 and waiting to show the second part in 2012! that’s total BS is u ask me. and honestly to all u haters of the movie, why would u even be on these sites and even base ur opinion cuz honestly…NO ONE gives a rats ass what u think or if u like it. if u don’t, stay away from these fan sites and w/e u have to say….just EAT IT!
Nicole has a good point. I love Twilight movies and I could care less about Harry Potter but I would never think to go to their fan sites and waste my time telling them that Twilight is better. Im really tired of the whole Twilight vs Harry Potter debate anyways!!
i love twilight!!!how can u guys like harrypotter?he sucks butt!
can’t wait.. wanna watch it hurry………
Why do we have to wait so long for Breaking Dawn?
WHAT!!! Its like a whole year we wud have to wait!!! How can u do this to us… TWILIGHT RULES!!!
i can fix the argument between the twilight and harry potter fans… they are both great movies and completely different. quit arguing and get something else to worry about
I think that its BULLS**T that is so far away! I want to see the DAMN MOVIE NOW!!!!!!!
If there was a like button megan I would like you post! Agreed!
Very disappointed that they are taking so long to release the first part of breaking dawn:(;( I dont see why they would wait so long I now refuse to watch it in theaters, will now wait till it comes onto DVD.
Crystal – I Seriously doubt you won’t see it in the theater. If you are a big enough fan to post on a fan site (I am too!) then you will so go to the theater, most likely opening night.
So not happy that its taking forever to release this movie!!! Will still go see the movie and will keep rereading the books, just wanted to express my frustration that you are SLOW!!!!!
actually they’re not slow…the last two movies were released not even within a year with one another. I’m glad they’re taking their time to make sure the movie is good and fulfills the fan’s as well as the book’s expectations.
i am totally excited for breaking dawn, but it just seems so far away, i have read the book but now im just deing to see the movie, i LOVE twilight, and i love all the actors in the film kristen stewart and rob pattinson, ashley greene etc love them all….lets just hope the next 2 years fly by so we get to see breaking dawn
x
I love it! i already read the book..i’m telling you, AWESOME! just wish there was more actions like Harry Potter and less drama love stories! but it’s gonna be a great movie
i love the twilight movies!!!!!!!!!!!!! n most of u guys r right cause harry potter n twilight r two completely different movies n twilight haters should not be on this sight 0ok.. leave the room for the twilight lovers.. n if u don’t understand de movies it means u don’t understand love!!!!!!
Oh god I dont know if I cant wait that long!!! I love twilight!
I love Twilight!!! but i’m not sure i ll ve the patience till the release date.. How could they do this to us.. im just re-reading the books again & again, and turning out half mad.. And wat the heck happened to MIDNIGHT SUN??? Y is there no news abt it… i would go stand in arctic with bare foot if i ve both Midnight sun complete volume and Breaking dawn movie in my hand…
I love the twilight series I can’t wait till the first part of breaking
Dawn comes out
I’m going to see it opening night
iam very upset tat the relasing dates is to late.
Midnight Sun is soo good and I would love for her to do all four books from Edwards perspective. Yeah its the same story but you get to find out so much more. It sucks that someone had to go leak the unfinished copy and piss off Stephanie Myers so she decideds to not finish the book and publish what shehas done on her website to tease us as punishment for seeing it before she was done
they shoulda left it alone till it was completed. But I really hope she decideds to finish it one day cuz that would be awesome. I love twilight!!!
Wow why do we have to wait so long fo these movies to come out and the bettee not leavee anything out this time
The only part I hate abou ALL of these movies I the fact that Kristin Stewart and Roberr Pattenson make the WORST Edward and Bella everthey are too much of crappy actors
Awesome movie. I got a little bit heart when i heard that there will be only five parts of twilight i wish it should be more.
Y are they comparing harry potter to twilight? That is like comparing oil and water! I mean its wizards and vampires! Obviously robert pattinson liked them both enough to be n both movies! The actors in both shows are great and i m on pins and needles waitin for the next movie!!
Okay twilight is amazing!! Annoying you have to wait so long. Hharry potter is in a class of it’s own just like twilight… And the actors fit perfectly Robert and Kristen okay it so well obviously you don’t understand the books or story line if u think they’re bad actors
yea i love the twilight books tha movies good 2 but they change alot like in eclipse but still cant wait 2 c breaking dawn just hate its in 2 parts n have 2 wait so long and oh yea harry potter v twilight come on twilight hands down n by way kristen stewart n robert pattenson are so freakin hot its not even funny they couldnt have done better job casting
i say hurry up twilight i refuse to read book 4 till the movie comes out so i hope it comes out soon
and to you people who compare Harry Potter to Twilight shut up i dont wana hear it there two different movie
people who dont like twilight keep your opinions to your self i dont care what you think
I would much rather read thew books. They are much more detailed than any of the movies.
I am completely torn about how I feel about waiting so long for the movies. Glad they are taking their time, I would absolutely hate to be dissappointed after all my excitement. Frustration cause I’m so impatient. I’m just gonna have to read the books again from start to finish. I have a movie projector in my head while I read the books. To my surprise my mind’s movies were quite vivid even though I hadn’t seen the actual movies yet. GREAT WRITING!
So, what – everybody is either going to rant on about the twilight movies taking longer to be released, or everybody is going to complain about them not being thought through enough.
Longer waiting = better movie
Less waiting = sloppy directing
But hey, either way, at least you get to complain.
Jackasses.
@annalise~ you must be blind if you think Kristen & Rob are ugly. Please keep your negative thoughts to yourself.
I dislike when people compare Twilight saga to Harry Potter. They are not in same category of fantasy, therefore shouldn’t be said one is better than the other. They are “both” good movies!
What I’d like to know is why is Breaking Dawn part 1 & 2 a year apart? That’s ridiculous! There’s no reason why it can’t be a few months apart like Harry Potter Deathly Hollows 1 & 2 are. Year apart is torture to us fans! lol
well if part 1 is coming out so much sooner than part 2… it gives me mo time to c part 1 ove and ove and ove and ove again… and read the books ove and ove and ove gain…ps i still hav a social life even if it dont sound like it… just love twiligh soooooooo
I’m glad these films are getting better and better as they come out. Given, they are taking time on Breaking Dawn to milk more money out of the franchise I think. Quality is never really an issue with this series because movie execs know it can be a load of crap and fans will devour it (see: Twilight, scene: “Hang on, spider monkey“).
I had a longer post but it’s basically this: You’re ridiculous for finding Bella’s choice of killing herself to be with “the one” instead of living her life and making her own choices a ‘sweet idea.’ And should be saddened by the fact that the Harry Potter series promotes intelligence and strong moral female characters that are immediately written off because they don’t decide they can’t live without their significant other. Seriously read both series before passing judgement. Bella is hailed as a wonderful female character because she’s plain. You are able to project yourself onto Bella’s character, effectively making her story your own. Get this through your head, sit down with an HP novel, and decide if it’s “romantic” being verbally and mentally abused by your significant other. Unless he decides that for you.

Well i love twilight its awesome but honestly if you have read all of the harry potter books harry potter trumps it if you were comparing them but i still think the twilight saga is awesome and i cant wait till breaking dawn comes out
Hey Annalise
If you don’t like the Twilight series or the actors then you don’t have to watch it. That’s the great thing about having freedom of choice. I do advise that you keep such snide comments to yourself however, as some of us actually do like the story and the actors.
You may have your opinion, this you are entitled to, but if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.
Bhuvi I totally agree lets stand in the snow together maybe they will release breaking dawn 1& 2 and Steph will finish Midnight Sun !

TWILIGHT deserves it’s fans. I would say “The series really shows many things which cannot be expressed but felt in real life”
I’m a twilight fan and love the books, but I think I would rather read Jacob and Renesmees story than I story I’ve basically already read before (Midnight Sun).
That is rediculous that the movies are being released so far apart. I sure hope we make it to see part 2. Matter fact I’m not going to go watch part 1 until part 2 comes out.
first off the movie is being made into 2 parts because there is so much information from the book that they need in the movie.the other movies were made in one part because they didnt need as much information as the final book needs most of the book is so important that they need to split it into 2 parts otherwise the movie would run to long and there is a limit on how long one movie can run.
On August 28, 2008, Meyer halted the writing of Midnight Sun in response to the illegal leak of twelve chapters of the unfinished manuscript on the Internet. She stated, “If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn’t dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely.”[1] She made the twelve-chaptered draft available on her website in fairness to her readers, now that the novel has been compromised before its intended publication date.[4] Meyer also stated that she doesn’t believe the manuscript was leaked with any malicious intent, and would not give any names.[1]
In a November 2008 interview, Meyer said that, “It’s really complicated, because everyone now is in the driver’s seat, where they can make judgment calls. [...] I do not feel alone with the manuscript. And I cannot write when I don’t feel alone.”[5] She said that her goal was to go for around two years without hearing about Midnight Sun, and she thought that she would begin working on the novel again once she was sure that “everyone’s forgotten about it”.
OMG! I can’t wait to see Breaking Dawn! I love Harry Potter too! It’s really sad how everyone argues about which movie is better!! :@
They’re both good! SO GET OVER IT!
TWILIGHT // HARRY POTTER 4 EVER!
Cedric Diggory, Robert Pattinson <3
I got to say i have a feeling these two last movies are going to rock!!! I just hope they would have made the movies rated R instead of PG 13 i think its not going to be worth watching it if there is not going to be any great parts in the movie that involve Renesmee’s birth in close view or the sex scene!! But i just have to accept it :/
And to all those HATERS if have nothing nice to say then way are u guys in this website or any website that has to do with the Twilight Saga!?!? I support all the people that love Twilight!!!
I hope Stephanie Meyers continues with Midnight Sun because i always wondered about what Edward was thinking about in the book Twilight!! Hopefully she sees how much the book means to US!!! Cant she see that we love her BOOKS!!!!!!!
I heard that Stephanie Meyer stopped writting Midnight Sun because all of her fans keep asking about it. Well of course we r…dah. We love her books and all of the movies. I also heard she will continue to write it when everyone stop questioning her and for get about it. Like I can do that. But I will if that what it does to get her to write it. I HAVE GREAT NEWS!!! If you didnt notice…Stephanie has the book Midnight Sun on her website but only about six or eight chapters and it was so damn AWESOME!!! Luv ya Twi-hearts
i cant wait to wach breaking dawn i am the most greatest twilight than the others…
I don’t even understand why people even say Harry Potter and Twilight in the same sentence much less compare them. I’ve read all the books and seen all the movies made so far for both series and they have nothing to do with the other. The story lines are not even similar. Twilight is a love story so obviously it isnt going to be as “action packed” as Harry Potter but it has qualities that Harry Potter does not. Both are exceptional series in their own way and one does not take anything away from the other. I patiently await the last movie to end both series. I doubt that there will ever be another series of movies and or books that could ever compete with either Harry Potter or Twilight. I comment both Authors for their incredible imaginations and amazing stories!
Agree with what most of you are saying. I’m frustrated at how long it will be before the movie is released. I can understand the first part taking so long but would be happier with a June release for part two. Or even all together in May 2012. I guess I’ll just wait impatiently
To compare Harry Potter and The Twilight series is ridiculous. They are about totally different storylines from two great authors. They are both great series and I would never disrespect either or say one is better than the other. If anyone out there does not like Harry Potter or Twilight, I don’t care. People should stop being such haters and go enjoy life a little. You can enjoy seeing vampires and wolves AND
wizards and witches…..
seriously if u don’t like harry potter don’t watch it, don’t talk about and don’t go onto its fan websites. if you don’t like twilight don’t watch it, don’t talk about and don’t go onto it’s fan websites. simple
I LOVE TWILIGHT LEE UR RIGHT START THE MOVIE
i dont know why we have to wait so long.. i know that when i see breaking dawn part 1 i dont want to wait another year to see the second part but i will…!!!!!!!
I love twilight but o think part two should be before
A year.
very eagerly wait for twilight breaking dawn 2…
ashish frm india
Can someone tell me what does Harry Potter and Twilight have in common because i don’t. Harry Potter is about witches and Wizards and Twilight was about Vampire and Werewolves so why is anyone fighting over two totally different things. So stop fighting over something so stupid. I didn’t care for Harry Potter to much but do you hear me complaining about either movie.
