Hunger Games vs Harry Potter

[Torrent56]

To those Potterheads who don't like the love triangle in HG - It's really hypocritical for you to say this about a tiny SUB-PLOT (Katniss even said she can survive without either of them, how good is that?) considering how much terrible teenage romance drama was written in that book called HBP when um, Voldemort has returned and everyone is suddenly thinking about who is snogging whom? What?!

On Harry and Katniss – The big difference between them is that Katniss actually works really hard to get to where she wants whereas Harry tends to have everything handed to him on a silver platter. For example, Katniss developed her archery skills through years of practice hunting in the woods. Harry, on the other hand, apparently got his impressive flying and DADA through natural talents, no work required.

When Katniss heard she was going back to the arena in the Quarter Quell, she quickly buckled down and trained really hard for it. Ditto for when she expressed the desire to become a proper soldier in the rebellion. What did Harry do in HBP after learning that he had to face Voldemort at the end of OotP? Oh that’s right, he spent almost the whole of HBP allowing his lust, um chest monster, to dictate his actions to the point that he even wanted to waste his lucky potion to get a popular girl (don't you need to face the dark lord soon kid?). Katniss, on the other hand, never thought about dating that much because um she had bigger worries than who to take to a party.

I should also say that Harry broke the school rules to get a fake title of potions prince and because he wants some adventure whereas Katniss broke the rules in her district in order to feed her family.

Or let's look at the epilogue - the HP has got this fantasy all is well ending whereas the HG epilogue showed the main characters realistically struggling to overcome the horrors of the war.

I also should mention how illogical some of the laws governing the use of magic and wandlore in Potterverse. I would like to hear anyone try to explain how the wandlore rules work exactly considering it was introduced at the very last minute.

I like both series (for different reasons) and it is clear Rowling took on a far more ambitious and difficult project than Collins did.

Can we really compare them? Personally, I can't.

I liked Harry Potter, the spells where good and creative and it was able to get me into the book. Hunger Games got boring after the second book

I like both to be honest.
