This document discusses fans of the films Harry Potter and Twilight and how they demonstrate their fandom. It notes that fans form deep connections with films they enjoy and feel like they are part of the story. Big fans of Twilight have tattoos of the characters, while Harry Potter fans dress up in costumes from the films. The document also describes how the film sets of Harry Potter have been constructed as tourist attractions due to the popularity of the films. Both films provide emotional pleasures to fans through their stories but Harry Potter also incorporates intellectual puzzles and visceral thrills. Overall, fans are deeply invested in films and strive to immerse themselves in the worlds created on screen.

1. Task 3:
Fans and Films - Twilight and Harry Potter
People that love to watch films with passion or watches films regularly generally mean that
they are a huge fan of the film industry. Fans/ Huge Fans form a relationship with films,
especially films that they particular enjoy to watch.
Generally when something pleasant happens in the movie they also feel joyful, when
something sad/heart-breaking they also feel sad and so on. So overall they make themselves
feel part of the film or because fans/huge fans have so much love and passion for what they
watch they may take the film real.
Fans do many different things to show their love, appreciation and passion for their
favourite film. For example they do tattoos, put posters in their room, and see the stars
closely when they come to a certain place for a visit and so on.
One of the two films that are highly popular and are well known worldwide is two films
called “Harry Potter” and “Twilight”. These two films are from different genres but they
have been hugely popular and achieved thousands of fans all most worldwide.
“Harry Potter” is about magic and wizardry where as “Twilight” is a romantic love story: love
triangle between three people.
Fans that adore the movie Twilight have tattooed their body with the image of the
characters.

2. This illustrates that they are a very big fan of the movie because covering your whole back
with images of the character is a huge commitment and tattoo is not something that can be
easily erased or removed.
Fans of Twilight go and a visit a place where the stars of movies are and wait patiently or
impatiently to give a glimpse of movies stars, give an autograph from them or shake hands
with them. There is a lot of shouting or enthusiasm from the fans during the visit.
This shows how popular the movie stars have become and how important they are to the
stars that they come from different place wait for a glimpse, hand shake or autograph.
Fans of Harry Potter (the films) show their affection and craziness by dressing up in clothes
that similarly worn in the movie: Clothes that are linked to magic or wizardry.

3. As the films have become highly popular and known they have even made the sets of “Harry
Potter” and included some of the activities for instance the castle, pretending to fly on the
broom and etc. This is all for the beloved fans to see and experience how is the magic world
in “Harry Potter”
This illustrates the popularity of the film because making the sets of “Harry Potter” and
having actives takes a lot of time and a huge amount of money goes in to all these things.

4. Emotional pleasures, visceral pleasures and intellectual puzzles are important to be in films
overall. It makes the film interesting and see able. At least one of them have to be in the
film but I think emotional pleasures is vital because if there is no emotion in the film then
the film is quite boring and almost no point in watching it.
“Twilight” definitely has a lot of emotional pleasures as it’s a love story. People would either
cry, feel overjoyed or even have mixed feelings.
“Harry Potter” has emotional pleasures, visceral pleasures and intellectual puzzles. It has
emotional pleasures because there are joyful moments of them being with their loved ones,
winning the Quidditch game and finally defeating Voldmort. It has visceral pleasures as
there were moments that too much action was happening or there were dramatic
moments. Finally the film has intellectual puzzle because there is the question/wonder who
will die? Harry or Voldmort or who will get defeated? Will Harry and his friends succeed in
their challenges/tasks?
They may be visceral pleasure because there may be moments where the viewer’s/fans are
giving physical reactions for example feeling like they are going up one part of the film and
down the next or vice versa: Feeling happy one part of the film and sad the next and etc. Or
they their action part and they feel like they are experiencing the same thing.
Overall Fans and Film relationship are quite big. Fans think too big of films. Films have a
quite a huge/ a huge impact in their lives. They may idolise the characters and take the story
or the film overall serious. Huge fans try and do things to be hugely involved in the film by
trying to meet the stars or catch a glimpse, tattoo their bodies with the characters, wear
props/costumes of the film.
