What doesn't smell the same anymore in Hollywood? Even though this may sound like two books into one I think It will sell in the teen crowd just like Twilight is/has done. Why do I think this? Movie goers tend to latch onto certain franchises and what happens when those movie franchises end? What are the Harry Potter fans going to look forward to when the movies are finally over? Twilight comes into play next but there is only what three books? I know I have been waiting for a trilogy as epic as Lord of the Rings to come around. I am not saying this series will be epic like that, just using that movie as an example.

My point in this is that once all the great movie/book franchises we have grown to love end, what's next? I know nothing about this book but I could see this turning huge maybe down the road. I look forward to lengthy movie franchises, It gives me something to look forward to down the road. Lord knows Hollywood isn't creating anything new these days.

Anyone else feel the same?

I also forgot to add…If the story blows then count it out. Has anyone read it?

Well, considering that the books have been on the NY Times Bestseller list for months, I think it's safe to say it has a real following already. Perhaps it would have made sense for you to read a review or two, and do some resaearch before coming up with your sily opinion. I have read the books, and they ROCK. COmpletely different from Twilight. I can't wait for the film.

I am scared to hear this bit of news. I just happened upon this series not to long ago and love it. It does have the whole Harry Potter/ Twilight thing going on but it is a good book series. I think it would work well as a movie. I think by the time this got made Harry Potter should be over for I don't think they are going to rush this movie since its now just getting optioned and they will probably combine books together. I see a long process for this to get made into a film and I think it will do alright.

Er I don't know.
I mean apparently the books have a following, But I've never heard any hype or buzz about the series.

Shanice on Nov 19, 2008

#3…my "sily (sic) opinion" is a comment on the current landscape of motion pictures…not books. arguably, a following in one is much different from a following in the other. for instance, books are not under the same competitive pressure for financing (production, actors, etc.) and release schedules, screens, etc. — all of which tightens the entry potential for new properties. It may eventually do very well, but it's hard to deny the surficial similarities here and the necessary skepticism that follows

well, if they make a movie out of this, i sure hope it's not PG 13 or anything. Though it proebably will be. Then i won't be able to watch it!

I think it would be great if they made movies after The House of Night series!! I was hoping it would happen after I finished reading the first book. As long as the don't mess it up as bad as the Twilight movie was I will go see it. Stick to the books and it will be a great movie!!!

Danielle on Nov 25, 2008

You have to remember that when they first began filming twilight that it still wasnt very well known then it exploded. I work in a library and until the movie started getting noticed it wasnt checked out very much, I myself was just randomly putting up books when i saw twilights cover and said why not(at that point i hadnt heard anything about the series) after reading twilight i looked up stephenie meyer to see if she had written anymore books and it was around the time they had started production and it was nowhere near as huge as it is now. Thats also how i stumbled upon the house of night series. I think all of the fans will be unearthed when production of the movie actually starts and we will see this series picking up the same momentum

i loved the book and i hope there is going to be a movie….the book is way cool and i think the movie would be a big hit to everone that has read the book

OMG, im going to be super happy if the house of night series is made into a movie. Personally, ive read the Harry potter series and the Twilight series , i enjoyed them both but i also LOVED the House of Night Series waaay more, I couldnt put the books down and i finished the 4 books in about 3 days , i cant wait till the new one in march, but i also think that the rest of you guys are haters, yes i mean there might be little news about these books, but so was twilight until the movie came out so if you were saying it cant be that good because you dont really hear about it then SHUT UP, go read the books then lets seee whose talkin. As i agree with those above me saying that they hope the directors are going to kill the book like they did with Twilight , i think that if the book and thhe movie are very similar they arent going to have to have trouble with sales and people not liking it..

iLOVE the House of night series <3 [:

This book is nothing like harry potter or twilight nor them mixed in one. I have no idea where anyone has gotten this statement. I have read the twilight series and yes I loved them all [4 BTW] but it has grown old to me. If there is a series that you want more drama then HoN is the perfect series. And I'm not sure how someone compared this to Harry potter, I never fell for thease books but I adore the movies, all of my friends have read thease books and alot of my family, it's nothing like Twilight series nor HoN series. I think the HoN series is a very popular series just not well known yet, everyone finally read Twilight other then my close group of friends when the buzz of a movie came around. So I believe it will be very sucessful as a motion picture

If they actually turn this series into a film, which I hope happens, it will have to be rated R or M or 17. There are some very racy scenes involved. The Casts are not afraid of sex and violence. I cannot wait for this film. I hope they stay as true to the book as possible.

Fallon on Dec 7, 2008

the house f night series is amazing its harry potter and twilight mixed. i hope it goes through to be a movie that would befantastic. myfingers are crssed to see this explode on the big screen!!!!

cynamon on Dec 8, 2008

16

I'm really hoping they chose to make a movie for The House of Night. First off because once you start reading these books you can't put them down and you always want more. Second, there needs to be more teen vampire movies out for teenagers, most movies these days are either rated R or rated G. there needs to be a little more mix for some of the older people in the country.

Megan on Dec 8, 2008

i also want to add the House of night novels are amazing and if they do make a movie from it the producers should probally read the books so the don't screw it up like they did the harry potter and twilight movies.

Megan on Dec 8, 2008

I love the books, and think they would look awesome as movies. they do have the whole harry potter twist, but with a girl point of view. it also it like twilight, but has completely different plots. i love the books and would love that they make them into movies.

Carrie on Dec 15, 2008

i think they should make a movie! the books are soo good that they would deffinately get a possitive response from the movie! i love the books and can't wait to read them all!!

Jessica on Dec 16, 2008

I love the House of Night books and if you read them, they are actually very different from the Twilight series.

They mix vampirism with Native American (especially Cherokee) beliefs, and Wicca.

They are absolutely amazing and if cast right, I think this will out do Twilight even if it doesn't make quite as much money.

I think it's wrong that people are comparing the two though considering that the only thing they have in common is vampires.

Naduah on Dec 20, 2008

im on the third book and i love them! I have read all of the twilight books twice (geek right) and i love them, but they are totally different than the House of Night books.


Twilight, i think, is morely like a romantic love story that a vampire is, in House of Night terms, technecally Imprinted with a girl. the House of Night books are a whole lot better because, theres more to just a 3 day change. Its over a 4 year period and you can die during it.

I do have to say that I did cry when i Stevie Rae died..im like that.

I think it is wrong to compare them before you've read them, the House of Night books are absolutley positivley and completley different than the Twilight series.

I WANT IT TO BE A MOVIIIIIE!

Logan on Dec 22, 2008

i think they should make the house of night into a movie because ya it has parts of other movies but it also ia very unique. you would never expect someone to be changed into a vamp by being marked it is just not the usual vamp book. and that is what makes it good

jade on Dec 31, 2008

first of all i love twilight and the house of night (even though i'm not done whith the 4, only 20p.g. left) but people are soooo stupid you can't compair them at all. Twilight = romance, HoN = DRAMA. So turn the damn book in to a movie. Hello it wil be major if the comersials tell people about it. i already have made 13 freinds read it. (i have read all of the twilights 7 times so i know if any thing can compete) STICKTOTHEBOOKSANDEVERYTHINGWILLBEAMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cantwait for hunted to come in march. LOVE AN AMAZING FAN, SAMMI

sam on Jan 5, 2009

HoN is an amazing series. I have read Harry Potter and Twilight and both were great, but HoN is completely different. I look forward to seeing these characters come to life. That is the point of taking a book and making it into a movie, so that the fan base can see what they have envisioned brought to life. If it is cast correctly and if the people in production stick to the story line then it will be a huge success. Twilight the movie was very disappointing because they did not do that. I will go see New Moon because I am a fan, but not because of the first movie. I would do the same with HoN, I will see each one.

Have you perhaps ever heard of genres? Duh, a supernatural fiction book is slightly similar in premis to another supernatural fiction book. No one is slyly trying to get away with anything here you moron. Having several young adult supernatural fiction stories in theaters at the same time is no more crazy or copycatish than having several action movies in theaters at the same time.

Kat on Jan 11, 2009

Also anyone who has read the books can tell you it is as different from Twilight and Harry Potter as one mystery book is different from another. They may both feature detectives, and at some point both enter into a jail or police station, but the crimes, characters, and plots will be different.

Kat on Jan 11, 2009

I love good books, and I love good movies. I love it even more when my beloved books become good movies. Atonement would be a good, recent example (I normally don't like Keira Knightley in anything, but she definately deserved the role and the role deserved her). I absolutely loved Twilight, and the entire series, and I'm assuming you know where this is going, or you should, atleast, since I said I loved good movies.

I hated Twilight. Well, hate is a strong word, but I greatly disliked it. It's not often a screenwriter incorporates so little of the book into the movie, and it's just as equally often when the screenwriter incorporates so much as they did in Atonement. I know, I know, it's personal opinion. But it doesn't take an idiot to notice they barely put in any of the key concepts in Twilight.

I also hate how everyone's comparing this to Twilight. House of Night kind of has a league of its own, compared to the Twilight series. It even has a seperate shelf on my bookshelf. The Casts and Meyer created different worlds, and I enjoy them both. I would hate to see this book go to crap along with Twilight, despite the screaming legions of fans who insist otherwise. I desperately want them to get this right, only because it could appeal to a lot of audiences. My mother is insanely in love with Anne Rice and wants nothing to do with Twilight, but she watches Gossip Girl with me on the occasion that I can actually sit through an episode without puking. It'll get a lot of audiences, and get a lot of publicity for the book– look at what Nicholas Sparks' optioning of his books got him! A feature film with Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling, and a whole other seperate legion of fans running off to buy The Notebook. My sister barely said three words after watching the movie before going to Chapters to pick up The Notebook, and we'd all had doubts she could even read.

I don't know, I just think this could open up a lot of opportunities and fanbase if it's done right the first time, and since it's not a hugely publicized book like Twilight, the filmmakers can't rely solely on the book's readers to fill their quota. I only wish.

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL HAUNTED!! hee hee my friends are pissed because its a vampire book and i haven't read twilight even though, i've seen the movie hee hee AHH OH WELL!! I LOVE THIS SERIES ITS POSSIBLE THE ONLY SERIES I'LL BE ABLE TO FINISH AND LOVING EVERY BOOK!! (i have issues with finishing series because i don't like some of the books so i stop reading them ^_^;;)

Lexi on Jan 20, 2009

I've been reading the House of Night Series for only 5 days and i've already read all four books. I thought it was the most awesome books i've ever read. it goes into some much detail and into each characters feelings. I'm just so excited about reading the other 5 books. I saw that book 5 was coming out in march so i went ahead and preordered a copy. if they do make this series into a movie i hope they do a really good job on it. i also wonder if they will do all 9 books or if they will squoosh all they books into like 2 or 3 movies, cuz u can't do that to this book. it has too many things that are important. if they were left out it would probably mess up the movie. i also think that this series goes way beyond what goes on in twilight and potter. not that i don't like those movies

Leslie on Jan 20, 2009

i personally loved all three series, the harry potter ones, twilight and the house of night. i personally love the house of night more then the twilight series. Like i bought the fist book read it in one night then bought the other three and read them all in 2 days! i can't wait for hunted to come out in march and if they do make a movie out of the series i will so go to it because the series has a wonderfu feel to it and i has a contiuous plot that they give you small bits of what might happen next. also it shows what a "regular" teenager goes through every day(minus the vampyre blodlust thing). They also develop the charecters alot more then they did in twilight ex. Aphrodite WOW i did not expect that to happen to her when i was reading the first book. Charecter developent is a hudge thing i look for in my reading but all in all Stepheny Myers and Rowling did a fanstasic job and all three writters need to polish there books a bit more and they'll be fantastic! i think this series develops way more then the hary poter and twilight series even though i loved them both i can't negleted there faults in any of the three series. i love all the series and do hope that they make aseries out of the house of night series because that would be awsome!

Brin on Jan 25, 2009

these books would be absolutely amazing as movies and I think it will make MILLIONS! it is one of the smartest things to do! i hope it happens because I think it'll cause big hype.

To # 13,

Although I agree with you that HoN isn't like Twilight or Potter, I can see where people come up with that comparison. HoN has sexy vampires, as does Twilight, and it also has magic and a boarding school setting, like Harry Potter. The main character is always saving the day, like in Potter also. So although I agree that they are not alike, I must admit that the very very basic elements are similar.

Bekah on Mar 2, 2009

I think somebody needs to read the books again. & the're not even finished writing them.
They're not just 'metaphors from adolescence to puberty'. & they're not 'Harry Potter, and Twilight' combined. They're their own freaking story. Yeh, they have vampires, like Twilight. They co-exsist with humans, like True Blood. & yes they have rituals, like the spells in Harry Potter. But so what? Does that mean P.C. & Kristin were trying to copy all of them to get the next big hit? No, that means they have creative imaginations. It's not their fault that people with similiar ideas had hits before them. If that was the case, EVERY author would be copying another. Somebody needs to learn a little bit more about these books.

HeathLover. on Mar 4, 2009

Correction; 'They're not just metaphors from adolescence to adult hood.'

The house of night series was not good. It was AMAZING. Harry Potter books are nothing compared to these. I must admit that Twilight is a very hard match but i really think that i may like the house of night novels better. They are more shocking in how the events unfold. The twilight i suppose are quite predictable. Its obvious that Bella will become a vampire one day and that she will never be with Jacob and will always be with Edward (who could blame her=) I think that house of night is more compelling. I hope that the series go on and on until they can do no more with Zoey. Which i hope will be for along time to come.

Samantha on Mar 18, 2009

I think the house of night series is awesome. i started to read the first book in december 2008 because i saw my friend wit the book i thought it look awesome and something good to read. after i read the first book and went to the second i could not put the books down. I Love it. it rocks my socks, I love twilight , harry potter too. The house of night would be a great movie series to see.as long as they stick to book it should be fine. And another thing is the house of night is not like twilight or harry potter it's something different yeah it has some simiarites but still it's just so damn good. i mean i can not wait until the six book comes out. i already the fifth book and it was awesome i just am so impatince that i can't wait. Hey does anyone know when the six book comes out. and does anyone know any other good books to read??

I have read all the Potter and Twilight books and they are certainly good story-telling (although I found both series to be almost unbearably slow in parts); I just finished the first book in this series, Marked, at my wife's insistence and it was very entertaining! I am also a Trueblood fan (read all the Sookie Stackhouse books, too) and I think this series would be vastly more entertaining on the big screen than Twilight. It is quick paced and, having a couple of my own teens, seems to have captured more of the 'feel' of being a teenager; Twilight had too much of Bella and Edward staing deeply into each others eyes, for what seemed like hours on end.

And, by the way, I also really thought 'John Tucker Must Die' (same director that optioned the rights to this series) was an entertaining movie, so if they give this series the same treatment, I think it should do very well, especially with the tween and teen audience.

All this talk about books turn into movies. I thought about it so much about this whole thing lately about books into movie on internet sites. I been hearing a lot about Harry Potter Series, Twilight Sega, and now A House of Night book series becoming into movies. Lately it's been Harry Potter verses Twilight. Now i am hearing a lot about how House of Night series is kind of like Harry Potter and Twilight in one.

I really think it would be awesome if the House of Night book series became movies, because they are really good books to read. I am looking forward for this series to become movies. I am a big Harry Potter, Twilight Sega, and A House of Night Series fan. I read all the books in these series. I loved them all. Once i picking up these books i couldn't put them down. I had to keep on reading them.

It was tempting when i picked up these three series off the selves and started reading them i wanted to finish them and read the next book. I really wanted to know what happens next in each book in these series. You could say i was hooked. Ahahahaha!!! Now i am a big fan of the House of Night series after the Harry Potter and Twilight Series. I love the books and got interested into the characters. I still like Harry Potter and the Twilight series. I will always be fan those two series even though i am House of Night fan now.

Jessica on Apr 17, 2009

I will be very disappointed if this doesn't go to film. I can't put the books down. I've already started reading them over again. I can't get enough. If this were to be put to film I think it would be a huge success among the teens and everyone that's read it.

Jessica on Apr 26, 2009

i LOVED the house of night series one of the best ive read and i also loved the twilight series but i have to say house of night is WAY better!!!! than twilight i know all my friends and i would go to see each of those movies if they made one……

kat on May 16, 2009

I think this series would be great as a film. I have been waiting for any hint of it becoming one. Its not to late, as by the time a film is made harry potter will be over and people will be looking for another great series to follow and this is the perfect one. It has been a best seller and everyone who has read it loves it. Everyone i know thinks it should be made into a film and that it wont just be a copy of twilight. It is very different from twilight and there is a lot more of a mysterious and unpredictable plot to it. the only similarity between the two series' is that they have vampires in them and even then, its different as they both portray vampires very differently. even the spelling if different! i would love this series to become a movies and i for one would pay to see it many times over and over again.

ghislaine on May 17, 2009

Paiten on Jun 7, 2009

52

I really enjoyed the series…and i have read all five of the books and am looking forward to the next one in a couple months and i for one do not think that they are any way similiar to Harry Potter books, or the Twilight Series they are completly different. I have read the Harry Potter Series and i liked them alot, i dont see the similarities in the series, nothing is the same or same story line. I have also read the Twilight series and i completly fell in love with them, the story is kind of like Romeo and Juliet with the whole forbiden love thing, but with a twist and much more action packed into it. Now the House of The Nightare totally different, they are about a teenager finally finding where she belongs, but when she feels she is at home, her journey begins and here destiny is unraveling, throw in some boys and you have her life in the making. i really hope they make the series into a movie

Mariah-Lee on Jun 17, 2009

To tell you the truth I just started the House of Night series two days ago, and i got hooked right away. It is definitely unlike twilight or harry potter and i would love to see this series as a movie. But i am just hoping (really really hoping) they dont screw this up… cough* like Eragon.

This series truly is a twist on the regular vampire story (to me). I mean seriously, I've never heard of Cherokee vampires who have elemental powers. Now tell me, is that in Harry Potter or Twilight? nah, didnt think so. I think this series is simply… awesome.

Now, I've tried to look for the site that my aunt was telling me about that tells a little more about the movie from the author's view. Supposeably (dont take my word on it), the authors have thought up some actors and actresses that might fit the roles of some the characters. All my aunt remembers really is that the they saw Megan Fox as Zoey (i mean Ms. fox is a bit to old but if you think about it… i can see her fit with all the Vamp markings), Zak Efron -however you spell it- as Damien (LOL) and that girl from heroes that can break her arm and heal really fast as Aphrodite…

i do not know if this is true, but if u guys are able to find it.. post the link up

cody on Jun 19, 2009

55

twilight and harry potter are aimed at younger audiences. i personally don't like either. the house of night novels are extremely mature in content nature and i don't see how younger audiences will watch them.
the books contain some graphic content both sexual and gore. i cant see the films going into the cinema screen under the rating of 15 in the UK.
i think that the house of night novels will bring something else to the hollywood screen. twilight was extremely unsuccessful in my eyes as hardwicke moved away from the main storyline. Harry potter has nothing to do with vampires. theres definatly room for house of night, as its not just about vampires, but also about native american culture. Hollywood needs these films.
ive read all the books and i am as hooked as any other fan. i just hope they don't screw this up.

and with relation to the new book tempted. I simply cannot wait. i have a feeling kalona will return with neferet.

I think House of Nights is one of the best series I have ever read in my whole life. I used to get into Twilight well,but the moment it became a movie,it became way to popular. Not saying that's a bad thing, but no one has ever paid much attention to it until the very first book became a movie. Harry Potter, well known book, and well known movie. But now for House of Nights, I think Marked, Betrayed, Chosen, Untamed and Hunted,out beats both Harry Potter and Twilight Saga. Now if they were to make a movie out of this, I will defiantly go see.
