Well, well, lookie here....
Jun. 2nd, 2011 06:44 pmI was perusing TwilightSucks awhile ago, and came across this little gem, detailing why Bella Swan is a good match for Draco Malfoy. You can read the madness below:

I nearly burst out laughing when I read the line: "Draco doesn't want friends. He wants fans and henchmen. Harry didn't fawn over him, and so their enmity was born." Seriously, that describes Harry more than anything!
And actually, no, Rowling would not write the story about Eric or Mike or whoever. Chances are, Eric and Mike would still be nobodies, just like Dean and Seamus. Harry is no everyman, after all- he's a self-absorbed jerkass Gary Stu just like Edward and Bella- he just hides it better!
Seriously, every so often someone will critique Twilight and immediately follow it up with "But Harry Potter is sooooo much better!" Newsflash: Just because it's better than Twilight... doesn't mean it's good!

I'd gotten the impression from what little I'd read that Bella was a jerk. I mean, out of 60 pages, a full 30 of them were about the crummy weather in Forks. Of the remaining 30 pages, 10 were about how much her new school and the kids in it sucked, 10 were about how her parents sucked, and the last 10 were all "OMG! Edward Cullen is HAWT!!!1!!" Twilight was a dull as DH, and we all know what that means. ;-)
Hey, maybe we should have a new expression. Instead of "dull as dishwater," we can say, "dull as Deathly Hallows," or "dull as DH" for short. :D
Is the vampires' baby a vampire, too? If not, can vampires nurse? Or does it get formula? And pedophile werewolves? Did Meyer rip that off of Fenrir Greyback?
