[Jellycones]

So I was looking for a Harry Potter quote, and somehow ended up on a site with a bunch of quotes from JK Rowling... one of them was

hey thats a nice complement if you read it the right way. Twilight is doing something that Harry Potter never could have done. And thats bring a vampire story to life without all the sex and angst of an original vampire tale. I read alot of vampire storys and none have me comming back for more like Twilight because its a great love story just like romeo and Juliet. For Jk To say its on steroids is kind of a good depiction of the story.

no not really, i read romeo and juliet in english this year and my teacher told us that shakespear historians see romeo and juliet as a mockery of love.

i toatally disagree, but still...  

[xXserenitys-smileXx]

Well i completely disagree with your teacher.

I think Romeo and Juliet show us the very epitimy of love. As well as passion, and the overwhelming need to fight for it with your last breath.  

[Riceycake]

I agree with JKR.

[there was a silence]

[Emo Oompa Loompa]

I don't know if Rowling meant it in a negative or a positive manner, but if you look at it positively, then it's not so bad. But if you look at it negatively...well, it sounds bad.

SO I don't know. Haha. I guess it makes sense if you look at it positively :]
