Let's just get this straight before wewe go harping on my makala because I'm a Twitard. Because I'm not. I'm just getting a little sick of Bella swan being called "too perfect". She's perfect about to the extent that I am a Twilight fan. Which is to say, not at all.
OK, Let me tell wewe a story about a REAL Mary-Sue.
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Anastasia B. Ana was in 6th grade, she was tiny for the age of ten (she skipped kindergarten), she was absolutely adorable, and she was in Gifted and 7th grade math. Boys all loved her, and she could crochet, knit, and she had perfect handwriting. She could play the clarinet well and she was an avid reader. She was also very religious and sweet, never disrespecting her friends.
Does Bella swan seem so perfect now? And now let's see what Mrs. Cullen/Swan has to say for herself.
Once upon a time,there was a girl named Bella Swan. She was beautiful and all the boys wanted her. She was smart and was horrible to her friends. She could play no musical instrument, and her handwriting is anybody's guess. Her religion is not mentioned enough to stick in my head, and when she got a boyfriend, her Marafiki left her only because she left them. She relies on her boyfriend for everything, and when he leaves her, she jumps off cliffs to hear his voice.
Does she sound so Mary-Sueish compared to Anastasia? And here's the twist: Anastasia is an actual person. Mary-Sues aren't just in books.
Here's my conclusion:
Bella swan was written to be perfect. The small hints of her leading a perfect life, having no problems and consequences, etc. were meant to make her perfect. She was written as a Mary-Sue, probably unintentionally, and yet failed miserably.
PS... to zanhar1: Thank wewe for making that point in my original draft. I changed it and really appreciate the tip. Thanks!

But what would be the perfect book for summer: a new chapter of Harry Potter au the sequel to Breaking Dawn? Would wewe prefer to read the new adventures of thrush, ugonjwa wa upele after "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," au to know what happens to Edward and Bella after the ending of the Twilight saga? Vote!
And how can wewe imagine zaidi of these stories? Let go of the ndoto and ... "write" wewe Harry Potter 8 and the new adventures of Edward and Bella!
Did wewe ever think that dumbledore was useing harry potter? Well he did! As wewe can see in snape's thoughts that he did. Dumbledore alisema that he was like a pig up for slauter! I mean who is mean to say that au act twards that person. WELL HE DID!
He doesn't realy think about what would he feel if he was steping into his shoes. I mean come on. He thinks he so COOL that he has the elder wand. HE'S A NORMAL PERSON FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
Well now getting back to the subject. Dumbledore is a MEAN person so if wewe want to find out your self then go to chapter that says "Snape's Memories"
