Emma Watson: Potter Doesn't Sell Sex!!- Page 3

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.

and I absolutely hate this all build up Emma is talking about.. for the kissing scene..that people are highly anticipated abt it...

Comeon HP isnt about this at all

I so agree with Emma, I always liked HP over Twilight

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.
