Harry Potter
A famous franchise based around a adolescent boy who discovers he is a wizard. The entire series has already been adapted into eight movies, but unless you've spent the last decade under a rock you already know that.



Twilight SERIES
A series about a mortal girl who takes an immortal lover. Series is captualized because the story is sold as a saga, however based on the definition of saga:

Definition of SAGA

1
: a prose narrative recorded in Iceland in the 12th and 13th centuries of historic or legendary figures and events of the heroic age of Norway and Iceland
2
: a modern heroic narrative resembling the Icelandic saga
3
: a long detailed account following a family through multiple generations


Twilight fits none of these definitions and is therefore a series, not a saga. The media has it wrong and yes it does bug me.

The story about a girl who, after the death of her elder sister tries to find herself and ends up stumbling into love. Here is the book trailer for it.

This is also being made into a movie, with Selena Gomez to star as Hannah. Bellow is a trailer made by a fan of the novel, it is completely unofficial but still very well made.
