HARRY POTTERS GETS LOVE FROM ROBERT PATTINSON
It’s Harry Potter’s 10 year birthday this week. MTV asked musicians and actors how HP has impacted their lives. Robert and Kellan’s answer below:
Robert Pattinson (Cedric in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” Edward in “Twilight”): “Does it make me a traitor? ‘Harry Potter’ was what made me become an actor. I credit ‘Harry Potter’ with everything else that’s come since for me. I didn’t know what I was doing before that. I hadn’t read the books before doing the movie, so at first I read it just as an acting exercise. But I really enjoyed it! But I think Edward would kick Cedric’s BLEEP, to be honest.”Kellan Lutz (“Twilight”): “I love ‘Harry Potter.’ I actually wanted ‘Harry Potter’ as competition for ‘Twilight,’ because you’d be seeing the wizard side of fantasy and then jumping into the vampire life. Everyone I talk to is so obsessed with it. I always wished I had powers. I always wished I had a stick and a broom! It’s a great story. It’s so well-written. I think ‘Harry Potter’ hit everything. It set the precedent, that peak of Mount Everest, and we all want to climb that mountain. I just wish there were as many books to make movies of in ‘Twilight’ as there are in ‘Harry Potter.’ “
Robert is right to be grateful to Harry Potter – that movie was his big break. I have to agree with him, though. Edward Cullen could kick Cedric’s bleep. Are you a Harry Potter and Twilight fan? I am, I love both series (I love Twilight just a tad more). I hope the Twilight movie turns out to be as well done as the Harry Potter movies. What do you think? Will Twilight be true to the book?
