Things Happen Here: Youtubers are Fake. →
breatheintomysoul:
This is MY personal opinion, based off of who I’ve been friends with from the youtube community. MY OPINION, because I’ve been CLOSE FRIENDS with these people that most of you look up to and envy. So if you have an issue with MY PERSONAL OPINION, don’t read any further. Youtubers are seriously the fakest people I’ve ever talked to in my life, and I say that and can back myself...

Bonnie Wright on Twilight
Cinemania: How do you compare Harry Potter with Twilight?
Bonnie: They’re completely different. The way J.K. Rowling writes is way more superior to that of the author of Twilight, besides the story has more different layers and subplots that address different topics. Harry Potter is also more universal and it reaches people of a wider range of age, which starts from little children. Twilight is more for American teens, especially girls. They’re two different stories, really, but I think that the best thing of both sagas is that they have motivated kids and young people to read. They have opened a whole new universe. I remember before kids didn’t even read a book of more than 10 pages and look at them now.
Cinemania: Which other books do you like?
Bonnie: Well, not the Twilight ones.
