Yeah, exactly! Like twilight for example. I keep thinking of robert pattison when I read about edward, and I imagined edward to be a billion times more handsome.

For Harry Potter, some things in it are just so different than the way I imagined that they can't replace my visualizations. Like the grounds, for example. But I do understand what you mean, the same thing happened for me with Eric, Mike, and Tyler in Twilight.

Yeah, I was like WOAH when I saw Eric. *giggles*
But oh well, that dude suited the part I reckon.

Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen didn't really suit at first, but now I think about it. He kinda DOES suit it. Like he may not be the perfect guy for us- he has flaws for everyone else except Bella. To Bella, he is her first love, you never see the flaws other people see if you're completely madly in love. That's how I see it anyway.

I'm going to read them again, when my friends give back my books. :D

As for the castings... Bella was perfect, but she was paler than Edward in the film! :lol:

One of my guy friends read them and he liked them more than I did. But then he is gay. Reading a book tailored towards girls doesn't mean that you're homosexual. It just means that you're accepting and don't judge by gender.

Yippee!
Anyway, I got Eclipse and while I was there I bought Breaking Dawn so hopefully I can join some Twilight Forums soon as I have been hanging off while I read the whole series. No one cares about Twilight Spoilers, but with Harry Potter; it was a major offense to spoil it.

There's nothing to spoil in Twilight 'cause it's so predictable. :lol:

Ouch, let's put some ice on that burn. :lol: I learned that saying a few weeks ago... Still, isn't that a bit harsh for a book that has come to potentially rival Harry Potter in popularity?

I know somew very manly guys who have read the Twilight books.
They're far from gay :D So it seems to have a wide audience just like HP.

It has got the top 4 spots on the best sellars for 2008. :D

That's only because a Harry Potter book hasn't come out in 2008. Just kidding.
