YA :-) discussion

Ok, so I know a lot of people get really annoyed when they are asked to compare these books. I am hoping you are not these people, but oh well. anyway, I don't really know which one I like the best. I mean I lobed them all! I think I like Twilight better and then the hunger games then Harry Potter, but I cant be 100% sure

wow, I can't believe nobody has commented yet,
I think the hunger games is the best, I LOVED it

i think that i'd have to say i liked harry potter the best then the hunger games and then the twilight series. i wasn't really fond of the twilight series (because of the whole love triangle and that one scene in the 3rd.) and while i loved the first hunger games the second was not good at all (worst one in thee whole series in my opinion) so that leaves harry potter witch i have reread 7 times

Errrrrrrr.....Twilight then Hunger Games. I got so addicted to Twilight, more thann Hunger Games sorry to say.

i think maybe i'll re-read the twilight series now that i'm older and kinda like romance (the first time i read it i was in like 3rd or 4th grade)

Oh wow, Cassondra, you were pretty young when you read the Twilight saga I think its probably meant for older kids.

oh, ya, me too. I was really addicted to Harry Potter for a while and After that I was addicted to The Hunger Games and right now I am addicted to Twilight, so right now I think my fav. is Twilight, but after I am not addicted to it, then my fav. might change

yeah that's what i was thinking so i'm gonna re-read the series. after i'm done re-reading i might have to re-comment on the thread. that is if my opinions change.

All three. They feed different needs in a reader.
This reader, anyway.

now I like harry potter better

I cant believe you changed your mind. I thought you would like the Hunger Games better 4ever

I like unger games alot too, but Harry Potter has more detail and is better :D Now got to get back to reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

There are a lot more harry potter books too, so you get to enjoy it for longer. J.K. Rowling is such a great author!

Twilight...Hunger Games!!! It's a close call! I've read both series over 20 times (maybe more...) Okay, okay if I have to chose, umm, Twilight. Yes. But Hunger Games is right behind it!

I agree! It is so hard to choose between those two! I think Twilight is my favorite too, but I'm not sure!

I like all 3 of those series, they are all so good!!!

Hunger Games. I read all the Harry Potters and the Hunger Games trilogy and Twilight (the first one, not the rest), and I have only ever had an urge to go back and reread the Hunger Games. Now of course I didn't full on reread but I did skim. I have to say though, the Harry Potter movies are some of my favorites whereas I hated the HG movie.

Ya, I like the Harry potter movies better than the Hunger Games movie too. Have you seen all of the Harry Potter movies?

i have seen all of the harry potter movies as well. i also believe the makers of the harry potter movies did a better job recreating the fantasy world then the makers of the hunger games. although i do have to say the people who made the Half-blood prince did horrendous! by the way sorry i haven't been in for so long; it's been really busy with science olympiad, swimming, and now lacrosse. by the way now that i've re-read the twilight series i still have the same opinion. i feel there was a bit to much romance in the twilight saga and that if it was judged solely off of it's plot it would not be nearly as popular as it is. the only reason i read the whole series is because i had to find out what happened to Jake. i got really attached to his character.

Ya, I agree about the Harry Potter movies. I thought they really did a good job making it seem like it could be real. I loved the sets. I also agree that the half blood prince was not very well done. I think it is my least favorite.

Twilight!

Uh, HP. I don't read Twilight cuz I don't like undead stuff. Same reason I don't like The Walking Dead series. And HP doesn't really fall into the category. It's like, E-rated.

that is a good point, but it is popular with all ages, so I just thought maybe I could include it. Besides, it is really good!!!!!

1. The Hunger Games and Harry Potter tied
2., 3. , 4, 5, ...
1000. Twilight

Harry Potter are the book of my childhood, adolescence, and will probably be the books of my adulthood. I really enjoyed The Hunger Games, and I liked Twilight, but Harry Potter is really on a whole different level for me. It is like a portal to another world. And not necessarily a world where you fall in love with vampires and werewolves, or a world where kids fight to the death in an arena.

good point. It seems more mature than the other stories and also more developed.

Mine's Harry Potter! I just watched all the movie's! They were AWESOME!!! Witch Harry potter movie or book was your favorite? Check this quiz to see witch Harry Potter character you are!

I'd have to say that for the story line I LOVE Harry Potter, I also have to give it extra pit because they basically raised me. Especially how the books matured with me and the rest of the audience.
But then I am in love with the writing in the Hunger Game, though I don't particularly like the theme in the story line, Collins writing and her first series the Underland Chronicles will probably always be a favorite of mine.
Then comes Twilight, and while I can understand why it captures so many people, I've never been able to read through them with enjoyment.

I keep thinking I can decide but then I change my mind. Twilight is out, but Harry Potter and Hunger Games will have to be tied for now

twi is def out. but i think both HP and THG ..."

agreed.

Well I haven't read twilight but I can't decide between. Harry potter and huger games

Phoebe wrote: "Well I haven't read twilight but I can't decide between. Harry potter and huger games"

Both are so good. I think I am sortof over twilight now though. At the moment I think I am leaning towards Harry Potter, but I will probably end up changing my mind again

This is hard..probably Harry Potter because it's a classic...though I still need to finish the 5th and read the 6th. The movies kind of distracted me from the books whoops..

lol, and ya it does seem like a classic

I'm gonna have to go with Harry Potter, on this one. But Hunger Games comes in second.

I've read the HP series through completely, three times, (finished it the first time at age 14) and I've seen each of the eight movies at least twice. (I went to the midnight premiere of the last three movies.)I'm just blown away by the world-building in the HP films...every time I re-watch I usually pick up on something I never did before. Sure, it's a mainstream film franchise, and there's no way you can fit 500+ pages into a 2.5 hour movie; but all things considered, I think the movies worked out well.

I think the strongest book of the Hunger Games trilogy is actually the first one, personally. The second book was a bit of a letdown for me, and the conclusion to Mockingjay just left me confused, and upset. But I'll have to wait till the rest of the film franchise comes to theaters...the world's gone crazy for the Hunger Games movies, and it certainly shows! Really though, I thoroughly enjoyed the first two movies in the HG series...they're both action-packed, and entertaining. I can't wait to see how "Mockingjay Part 1" turns out!

Twilight has had its 15 minutes of fame. I feel like the books are really only "the best books EVER!" if you're in middle school... (and I mean no offense at all to those who enjoy the series) they're okay, but they're nothing special. Not comparable to the Hunger Games, or to HP; and I really hate it when people just lump them all together 'cause they're all YA series.

Just because they're all written with children/young adults in mind doesn't mean they deserve to be thrown in with each other.

I love the Harry Potter movies. Even though I feel like books are better than their movie adaptions most of the time, HP was one of the franchises where they really got it right. :)

My favorite HP book is the first one...I just love how suprised Harry is at things in the wizard world: Quidditch and broom-riding, the paintings that move, the staircases that like to change, etc. Around the 5th book is when it really starts to get darker - not that I don't like the later books, but I appreciate the lighter themes of the first three books more, when they're contrasted with the darkness of the last few. My second favorite HP book is the fourth one. I love the wizard games, the Yule Ball, Hermione's dress and Ron's inability to cope with his budding feelings for her... :)

My favorite movies: Prisoner of Azkaban
Deathly Hallows Part 1
Goblet of Fire

Sorry to turn this response into a mini-novel!

Mine is the hunger games because that book was my 1st YA book in 5th grade so it sorta started my love for YA books in some ways . I also love katniss's bravery .

I agree with you about the HP movies. They were really done well! I would have been so mad if they got messed up!

Ya, I think your right that the fist hunger games was the strongest. I liked the third one a lot too, but the 2nd has always been my least favorite. They have been doing a great job on the movies though, I hope they keep it up!!

Olivia wrote: "i would have read tHG and HP just saying cause Twi is like way over, and i don't read those type of books anymore."

Same here, twilight was pretty much middle school for me. I still kindof like it, but I don't really care that much about it all anymore

Yup, for sure

Harry Potter then Twilight then Hunger Games

Ya, I think Harry Potter is my top too. Its just so good!!!

@Olivia, right?? Right??!!

Somebody please tell Ms. Stephanie Meyer...with all due respect, VAMPIRES DO NOT SPARKLE IN THE SUN!!!

For Pete's sake, that bothered me, when I was reading the Twilight series. (Still does, as I'm sure you can tell.) :)

Harry potter XD

Harry Potter!

HARRY POTTER. Nothing can beat a classic (or the Weasley twins)!

For me this is a really easy one. 1. Harry Potter 2. Hunger Games 3. Twilight.
