Agree with Emma; she wasn't really bashing the Twilight books, but the movies, and the movies do show a lot of sexual content which is unnecessary.

Comeon HP isnt about this at all

Agree, I could care less about the kissing scene (I'm actually not looking forward to it😆), I just want the action and drama in the movie to stick true to the books. HP's more than just making out, I really hope the movies are good.

She [Emma] could have worded it differently, but the truth of the matter remains that a large part of Twilight's attraction lies on the sexual contents the books and the movies offer. Like Mr. King had said it:

[quote] "...a kind of safe joining of love and sex...It's exciting and it's thrilling and it's not particularly threatening, because they're not overtly sexual. A lot of the physical side of it is conveyed in things like the vampire will touch her forearm or run a hand over skin, and she just flushes all hot and cold. And for girls, that's a shorthand for all the feelings that they're not ready to deal with yet." [/quote]

^ Hmm, nice way to put it. I agree, Emma could have worded it differently, esp since the whole Twilight vs HP thing is dying down, but she does have a point.

Haha, way to go Emma. I like the way she phrased her sentence. "Harry Potter films aren't selling sex, like Twilight." Haha, word man.

In the book its not explicit and more comfortable to read
