  • Kaleb are you joking? It's got kids being forced to kill other kids! Nothing can top that. Sorry.

  • Hunger Games, #1 on Teachers choice. So i think its bigger than twilight and harry potter.

  • Saskequeen... it SOOOOOO true...i think it is becoming a movie

  • HELLO.. Shiver Trilogy by Maggie Stiefvater... anyone?

  • Robots...

    I want robots.

    Alternately, fairies, I like Artemis Fowl.

    Hunger Games will probably be the next big thing though. I don't know since I haven't read it and can't see into the future, but it seems like it will be. Either it or Percy Jackson.

  • IT HAS MUTTS! MUTTS IS WHAT IT HAS! Oh and yes, I think that Hunger Games will be the next big thing. HOPEFULLY it doesn't end up like Twilight. You know the whole "Teams" thing. That would RUIN it! I'm team I DON'T GIVE A F&#% CUZ I LIKE THE BOOK SERIES!

  • I love hunger games but nothing will ever be as great as Harry potter.

  • HUNGER GAMES will be BIGG twilight sucks!!! 

  • i hope they don't go overboard like twilight did. i hope it doesn't turn into the next twilight. if it does, I will burn my copy. so fans please don't go overboard.

  • im half way through hunger games but i cant get into it. i believe that cassandra clare's mortal instruments will be the next big thing

  • @vcrazy508 I'm still not convinced that Jamie Bower can pull off Jace.

  • YES YES YES it TOTALLY is!!!

  • it already is.

  • I haven't read Hunger Games yet. I remember the Twilight craze, I was part of it. But to be honest, I got completely tired of the whole vampire facade. So, maybe I'll try Hunger Games and see how it is.

  • I think Clan cats will be the NBT! XD I'm crazy about WARRIORS! Maybe obsessed. Who knows?

  • twilight did not come after harry potter ... it just kind of appeared during the Harry Potter era. It got popular after and will die long before harry potter does!

  • I LOVE hunger games because it is realistic and something similar to it can happen in the future. I also think it represents the regular human and our struggles for justice and equality unlike twilight which has no deeper meaning. Although I like Harry Potter its not realistic hence the wizards.I believe The Hunger Games will be HUGE because of all the action, futuristic and real setting, and the

    Romance.

  • Comment removed

  • YAY CANADA!!! Sorry... We kind of get excited whenever anyone mentions our humble lil' nation..

  • no vampires or wizards, just kids killing each other.... But it is well written and intense, so I think it has a chance.

  • Hg is def the nbt cuz u cant put those books down and guys like it just as much as girls!! So it will definately be big if not bigger than twilight and hp cuz it reaches a bigger audience (its not fantasy)... Every person ive talked to whose read those books is begging me to tell them about the nxt one in the series and wants the nxt book before they even finish the one theyre on...so def will b a HUGE phenomenon

  • Hunger games is better than twilight, really^^ I´m from Germany and read this book in german and english, my english is not sooo good but it was possible =) I think that would be a nice movie.

  • Hunger Games than The Mortal Instruments.

  • Hunger Games IS the next big thing. All 3 Books are translated in many languages. For example in german, its my language, and it is very popular. some german kids began to make selfmade trailers for the upcoming movie and personally i can't wait for the film, i want to watch it now, to see how the crew designed the film and if it could reach the upcoming feelings in the book.

  • The hunger games is the NBT..

    The fact that the author based it on the future has everyone hyped. THG is like.. a lifestyle you'd imagine having in stories, but never in real life.

  • until the movie comes out idk, but I hope so :)

  • the six people who missed the like button are gonne be sent off to the capitol to fight to their deaths >:0

  • The Hunger Games will be the next big thing. I just finished reading Mockingjay the last book in the series just last month. I honestly believe that The Hunger Games is going to be very close to success as Harry Potter. I am a huge Harry Potter fan and these books come so close in the liking of Harry Potter, without the wizardry...but yes The Hunger Games WILL be the NEXT big thing...

  • Hunger games is the next big thing and I have a feeling it will be competing with The Mortal Instruments series. I love them both but HUNGER GAMES FOR THE WIN!!!

  • IDK, I'm a huge fan of all those book series. I'm thinking Hunger games will be a hit, its amazing cause Katniss kicks ass, she'd crush Bella in a heartbeat

  • @BreyerLoverHorsie78

    lol i actualy found the hunger games an had them done in a week ..anyway katniss dose kick ass :)

  • Twilight was sappy. It ruined my admiration for vampire legends. Well almost all of them but Van Hel Sing still prevails. I think it went way overboard when they started to sparkle.. *cringe*

  • i love the hunger games but i dont want it to be really big and imma try to read mortal instruments it looks good

  • hey btw i have owned a Hunger Games shirt from HT for months now!!!! lol

    yes even in January your a little late

  • Angels and demons idk i just have this feeling

  • It goes in this order of "Next Big Thing"

    1. Harry Potter

    2. Twilight

    3. Hunger Games

    4. The Mortal Instruments Series

  • Did you ask us if Hunger Games is going to be the next big thing enough?

  • I think The Hunger Games is going to be bigger than Twilight. It's actually good. I don't think it'll be as big as Harry Potter, but they are genuinely good books. I got Catching Fire and Mockingjay on the day of their releases, and they are definitely my favourite series (possibly besides HP).

  • @metaphoricalbamf yeah I adore Twilight and was obsessed with those books and then I read the Hunger Games and out the door twilight went. Hunger games is my fav book ever! but im still on the second book in the triogy. I have 3 more chapters to read in Catching Fire

  • HUNGER GAMES IS THE MOST AMAZING THING THAT HAS EVER BEEN WRITTEN.

  • I seriously believe the Hunger Games is far better, umm bigger, than Twilight OR Harry Potter COMBINED. :3

  • @LexyIno66 i toatally agree i thought twilight was really sappy:)

  • mmhh... Hunger Games IS already the next big thing! I mean, who hasn't read it yet? xD

    But I'm also loving the Mortal Instruments series. And that is going to be a movie, too (Actually the main role is already casted, which means it's farther than HG) So... We'll see, we'll see ^^

  • Um no. I don't see snobby girls in my school "gushing with fandom" over a post-apocalyptic series.

  • The infernal Devices is going to be huge, as it follows the epicness of The Mortal Instruments

  • this is such a good novel i read it in a few hours! it takes an incredible writer to do something like that. blew my mind. onto the next one!

  • kind of dont want it to be 'the next big thing' because of how the fans of twilight and harry potter are steryotyped, i just like being a hunger games fan without the 'hoo-hah'

  • I would like to see "The Hunger Games", series to made into a movie for each book. That would be epic. The books are amazing! and I think that, they would translate into a movie, very well. I've read the series, many times. It's addictive.Do your self a favor and read the whole series. You're in for a treat.

  • I really do think The Mortal Instruments will be the next big thing. It has all the things that seem to be popular now, it's funny, it has kick ass characters, and it's so well written.

    Hunger Games was amazing too, I'm just scared for the movie. I think it'll be a little graphic. D:

  • The second Mortal Instruments merch is released, I will be in so much debt.

  • hunger games should be bigger than twilight but i just dont see it happening

    

  • I LOVE THE HUNGER GAMES!!!!!! :DD IM ON THE 3RD BOOK!!!!!

    its amazing(:

  • uhmmm... nooticed?

  • I've only read book 1, but i got all 3 for christmas. i REALLY think it could be the next big thing :D

  • Zombies NEED to come back =3=

  • @Wolfgirl36512 If you wanna know, they're gonna turn the book "Pride, Prejudice and Zombies" into a film :)

  • if hot topic ever sells anything Mortal Instruments i will walk out with more items than i can count.

  • I think the next huge explosion it's those - fairies - angels. I've read like... 4 books about angel romances only last year. WHAAAT? I mean, the stories are even good, but I really think this is getting a little bit too... Well... Big.

  • I hjope they don't go big kinda...I was a Hunger Games fan since the begining... I don't want it to go insane. Im proud to be a fangirl of it but i dont want the insane fangirls killing it.

  • first i think i should read them. i've got them on my books-to-get list but i'm kinda broke right now :/

  • I hope Hunger Games will be the next big thing. It's amazing!

  • i think it definitely has has a LOT of potential. a lot of my friends have read it, and some of them were ppl i hadnt recommended it too.

    but honestly, i hope it isnt the next huge thing. cuz the huuuge thing that twilight became kinda killed it for me, and also i like, as hipster as this sounds (im totes NOT hipster), things that arent huge like twilight or harry potter, even though hunger games is already huge (when the last book came out, it was on our local news station !)

  • I think that Hunger Games has the potential to become a big thing. The book series is amazing and already has a huge fan base. I am definately looking forward to the movie. If the movies are done well I think it could be! =]

  • I read the first two Hunger Games books in about two days each over Christmas Break. I couldn't get through the third as quickly because school started again, but I loved them all! I think it will be big, but I'm not sure if it will be bigger than Twilight or Harry Potter.

  • MORTAL INSTRUMENTS SERIES!!!!!!!!!

  • I think Hunger Games could def be the next great thing!!! I LOVED the three books! I don't think it will get quite as big as Twilight though... but who knows!?!

  • Maybe Percy Jackson. I loved the first movie, but i hope they more closely follow the book for number 2 sea of monsterss

  • @SSJCollin i don't think there is going to be a second Percy Jackson movie because they changed the plot too much for the first movie...

  • Hunger Games is definitely getting huge. It's a well-written dystopian style novel; just like 1984 was.

  • -3 I LOVE THE HUNGER GAMES! but I'm worried that the hollywood producers will wreak the book by making a crap movie or changing the plot too much

  • @1000kirstyy I couldn't agree more!

  • i'm very unsure about how i feel about the hunger games. while I think it will definitely have a larger audience due to it's action and suspense,I kinda have this big fear that hollywood directors will screw it up. I mean the book was plotted and paced in a way that makes me suspect that it was so awesome that it can only get worse in movie version.

  • I love the hunger games but idk...im pretty excited for the Mortal Instrument series :)

  • @ninaa4211 YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

  • @ninaa4211

    own all the mortal instrument books :)

    there vary good books

  • @deamonteen14 really? i've nevr seen them in the bookshops(trust me i go to them at least once a week) and I have never seen those books though all my book worm friends say they're wonderful books

  • @ninaa4211 Yeah me to!!!!!!!!!!

  • @ninaa4211

    Cassandra Clare lacks integrity.

  • I don"t think so, because there isnt as much girl fandom surrounding this book, as there are not as many guys to pine over. This book isnt as plotted on romance as it is on awesome.

    If it is, it will be more like the harry potter fanbase, but for scifi fans, which are not as plentiful as the fantasy fans.

  • omg i love that book hunger games is the big thing hahaha

  • It's STILL wizards, thanks. Twilight Fangirls are just more insane.

  • I'm starting to fear my favorite books being turned into movies, because although it's possible to make it amazing like The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, it could also go the Twilight route and become WAY too overexposed for the wrong reasons. The Twilight movies weren't that good, and all the annoying fan girls made lots of people hate the books :(

  • @SpunkStalker101

    don't forget Eragon. But yeah, I totally agree with you.

  • @Theo2kitty I haven't seen that one, though it looked kind of good.

  • I think Mortal Instruments will be pretty big. Though it already is, it's a great series. But I'm still waiting in anticipation for The Host to become a movie. They already announced that it's in progress... I loved the book so much!!!

  • I really think Hunger Games can be the next big thing, because the books are very very very good, and they're making the HG movie to be release in 2012, when HP and twilight movies will be already finish, so all the fans of these sagas will be needing a new addiction, and HG, in my personal opinion is the best choice, and with some divulgation can be a big phenomenom :) (sorry for the terrible english)

  • @Lariipg Yeah. I think THG series will be competing with Mortal instruments though.

  • The next big thing: Fallen

  • @TheSparkleyVampire I love those books but I hope they don't make movies of them because they will probably ruin them.

  • @SpunkStalker101 I know! They r so good. I heard Passion comes out on my birthday! I heard Disney is trying to get the rights but if they do they will totally fuck up the plot. And I have beard if Mortal Instruments. I haven't read it yet but it's on my list. Also if u like fallen angels read hush,hush

  • @TheSparkleyVampire I'm halfway through Torment and I love it! Idk about Disney doing the movies. They did the Narnia books and those turned out okay. Speaking of fallen angels, you should check out the Blue Bloods series. They're really good.

  • @SpunkStalker101 If they were to make a movie I hop that Warner Brothers would do it. They kept Harry Potter's feel of excitment and Disney might have to make Arriane less quirky.

  • @TheSparkleyVampire I think they could do a good job with it. My biggest worry is that whoever they would cast for Daniel and Cam would be so "hot" that it would turn into Twilight all over again. Nobody would care about the story and they would just want Daniel to take his shirt off -_- Which I'm not saying is bad, but I think the story is too beautiful and deserves to be told with dignity.

  • After watching this, I actually went to the library to get the book. It was one of the best books I've ever read. I sincerely hope it becomes the next big thing.

  • Hunger Games is awesome, they are making a movie, and you should hurry up and finish it. Also, I do believe it could be the next big thing.

  • OMG! I love the Hunger Games! I read the first book in 2 days! 250 pages the 1st day, and another 150 the next day! :)

  • interesting brother, interesting !

  • @meganconwy i agree.

  • Possibly. It's certaintly better than Twilight.

    I wish the Orson Scott Card series get big. (Ender's Game series and Pathfinder series). HE IS THE BEST WRITER! No offense, Kaleb.

  • I LOVE this series!!!

  • There is the Percy Jackson series. It has the children of greek gods. Its a book for young readers, but I enjoyed it alot.

  • you suck.. erickwithnok rocks!! ((:

  • The Hunger Games has ENDED!!!

    Its opportunity is over!!!!

  • @uglyfudge what do you mean by saying that? they will make a movie! it's real

  • @LifeIsWorthFighting Well, the books are over. There are no more books left.

  • hmmmmm im gonna ATTACK if people flip out all fan-girly like like they did for twilight over hunger games. grrrrr....

  • i didnt like the ending of Mockingjay, i dont want to give away any spoilers, but that one certain death (those whove read it know) really pissed me off. Like it made everything seem so pointless because of the event that started it all. Also about that death, she could've made a bigger scene of it. Really all that happened was that she announced that they died. That was like it. And it seemed like she left out a lot of details and brought it to a close too fast like she was in a hurry to finis

  • Hunger Games is huge, and it's great, but I thought the ending to Mockingjay was kind of disappointing. My guess is that it will probably land somewhere between Percy jackson and twilight/Harry Potter. The reason for this is because all the books are out now and once the movies are out their really won't be anything to look forward to. The Harry Potter fanbase reached tons of generations because the movies are *still* coming out.

  • Twilight is the same way. Also, both those series are longer than the Hunger Games Trilogy.

    The next big thing? Demons. That's my thought. (I have this idea....)

  • they also have true blood stuff there, which is based off a book series

  • I think the Hunger Games could be the next big thing. It's only just (I think, maybe a few months ago) come out in the UK but I'm hooked already. Yes, the story line is a bit gruesome, but it's not all gore (like someone before me said), like when I read it it has a massive anti-violence message in it. I suppose it'll always be a big thing for me and it's already starting to take over twilight for me (and I'm a twi-hard). If the movies are anything like the books then it's going to be awesome!!

  • The Hunger Games topic does not have the huge age group that Harry Potter and Twilight had. Harry Potter had the most versatile age and gender group of the two (Children - Adults, Male + Female) and was the most popular book series of all time. Twilight on the other hand had the age group of Teens - Adults and had primarily girl readers. The Hunger Games cannot be for young children like Harry Potter was and it just has such a gruesome story line and is mainly for suspense novel lovers.

  • I really think that the Hunger Games will be the next big thing. In fact, I was thinking about this today when I was at Wal-Mart and I saw the books, and a HG poster. I've been hearing a lot of buzz about it, but haven't had the chance to read it.

  • Fairies!!

  • I think that The Hunger Games might be the next big thing but I think that the Hoste will be even bigger.

  • Hot Topic also sells things for The Nightmare Before Christmas, you forgot to mention that.

    I think that Hunger Games will be big next, and then the fallen angel books will start to become movies shortly after that. If HG is made into a movie though, it will most likely be bigger than Twilight just because it doesn't have anything to make fun of like sparkling vampires, so more people will be into it. Plus there's a bit more action, so its not so "girly".

  • The next big thing can possibly be the Hunger Games. However, A book I just read that had been recently made into a movie was pretty good as well. It is the first in the series.

    I Am Number Four is about a 15 year old boy who was brought to earth with 8 other teens when they were just children/babies. They can only be killed in numerical order starting with number one, when number three is killed, the target is on him.

    I Loved this book and cannot wait to see how the movie turned out. :)

  • I like how he asked if they could be bigger than Twilight at the end, but he didn't mention Harry Potter. Looks like he has his head on right.

    Because NOTHING could be bigger than HP.

  • I think Hunger Games could be the next big thing. Just because there are no creatures in it doesn't mean it can't be huge. It's an amazing book and a killer plot line that is completely original. Perhaps it won't be as big as Twilight but maybe that's a good thing. Wether it will be or not, I've been following the books from the beginning and can't wait for the movie!

  • Hunger Games WILL be bigger than Twilight, no question about it!

  • I hope Hunger Games is not the next big thing. I don't want a next big thing. I'm sick of people ripping things off and ruining things and people becoming fans because of a "hot guy" or "hot girl" in the movies.

  • Comment removed

  • @LuvSpunkRansom I agree. I liked the Twilight Saga, but it was a bit ruined when it blew up to be so big. All of a sudden everyone started judging the book by its cover. Too many say they dont like it because they think Edward is gay. And they havent even read the books, just seen the movie. People shouldnt be so quick to judge stuff, at least when they dont have anything to back up what they're saying. So I hope everything will stay small for now, so I can continue loving the books by myself.

  • @CarliesArt Ya, I'm getting really nervous because this is happening to Doctor Who and I am a HUGE Doctor Who fan. It's the same thing as Twilight. No one used to know what it was and then all of the sudden everyone is watching it. Either love it because everyone else watches it or hates it because they don't know what they are talking about. If you've been a fan for a while it gets tiring talking to people who claim they know everything about it. This is what happened when Twilight got big.

  • I really hope Hungergames will be really big! :D

  • I think "Bran Hambric" will be the next big thing. :)

  • Hope so, but I really think its to intellectual to have the teen base..

  • i hope ! hunger games is SO much better than twilight

    & i think it might be

    ... either that or Percy Jackson :P

  • My top three guesses for the next big thing.

    1. The Hunger Games

    2. Percy Jackson

    3. whatever else

  • I don't think so, mostly because all the HG books are out.

  • @iwannasammich777 3 of the 4 Twilight books were out when the first movie came out, so no offense, but that's kinda irrelevant :).

  • why does you always go to canada ????

  • jersey shore.....there the vampires of the east

  • The Hunger Games is way better than Twilight but with a sucky end. God I hate Peeta.

  • my favorite book <3 beats twilight hands down... which is a big deal for me to say =) they've been talking about a movie for awhile tho like the right were sold over a year ago... anyways i believe zombies are gonna take over the world XD

  • Pirates... 

  • third book ended badlyyy

  • i think aliens are the next big thing because of district 9, tim burtons 9, i am number four, and the new disney movie mars needs moms, i thinking aliens lol

  • um, Kaleb! Harry Potter, Twilight, and the Hunger Games aren't the ONLY books Hot Topic sells merchandise for. They have Dr. Seuss shirts!

  • um, Kaleb! Harry Potter, Twilight, and the Hunger Games aren't the ONLY books Hot Topic sells merchandise for. They have Dr. Seuss shirts!

  • The movie is going to be AWESOME, well the first one anyway, that was the best book :)

  • i cant wait to be movie....!!!!

  • @TheAmandaJaness True this is not Twilight or Harry Potter. It IS going to be big though. I don't think those other books were big just because of the creatures they featured. They were big because people love the characters.

  • I LOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEE HUNGER GAMES!!!!!!! ok seriously me and a bunch of people from my school entered this competion and we all read it then we all argued over who got to answer the questions for it(it was lke a quiz thing) needless to say we totally aced it (like almost everyother school) on Hunger Games question then i got all my friends to read it and i had to wait like 2-3 months for the last one and i CRIED SOOOO MUCH!!! ya know cause I'm a wuss like that ok i have 26 characters remaining by

  • @kalebnation thanks Kaleb. although i dont know if perceptive is the right word- my parents prefer the word obsessive :). I do, however, read lots of books and watch lots of TV shows and movies.

  • If they ever get around to making the Artemis Fowl movie as was rumored years ago.... then Artemis Fowl will be the "next big movie". Ranger's Apprentice also has that potential, like if the producers hadn't messed up the Percy Jackson movie then IT would be big.

    Kaleb, you watch, dragons are going to make a comeback. And gnomes could be big, too. :)

  • @TheAmandaJaness IF you read my comment i was talking about the mortal instruments, but thanks for the information....

  • Angels, there making alot of new books/movies about fallen angels.

  • well i adore the hunger games trilogy-its an amazing story and extremely well written. it would truly be an amazing movie saga. however there are a lot of other good ones that could be big too- like shiver, and city of bones. which are equally as amazing in love/adventure. ??? ps, hope you enjoy canada again! (i'm from saskatchewan-no one knows where that is haha)

  • it has mutts and it will be

  • i was just in CANADA!

    :/

  • u forgot the book Shiver =(

  • Hunger Games could kick Twilight's butt, but the question is, do we want it to? Its a fantastic series, do we really want the movies to destroy it and the craze to bring in fake fans?

  • Duh! What are you talking about? Hunger Games has muttations! What's more different than half human half wolf creatures???

  • @lululucy91 but it's not based on that. it's NOTHING like twilight. . .AT ALL!

    i love twilight, but i love hunger games more.

  • OR there is also a saga that isn't finish and involves lots of random characters , mystical characters and a little bit of incest BUT its really good and could be also made into a movie the mortal instruments, can't wait for the 4th book to come out this april, i read the first 3 like in 3 days, yei for THG and TMI!!!!

  • @maarthev there's no 4th book for THG. . .

  • i think that the story itself even tough everyone knows it end it could be the next big thing, when i first saw the movie of twilight i wasn't aware of the books nor that there was a saga, and when i saw the movie i was looking everywhere in the internet for more information about the movie and there is when i discover the books and realize that there were 3 books out already, so i think that the HG have that same chance, and apart form that IT is really good story

  • I think one of the elements that made the Twilight Saga & the Harry Potter books a "BIG THING" was the suspense that kept the readers wanting more. The Hunger Games trilogy is finished, and while there is potential for a continuation in that series, I don't think that the authoress has stated any plans for such. I don't think the movie itself could make the Hunger Games HUGE, although I think that the books were just as good as (read: better than) the Twilight series.

  • Hunger games were amazing. It's definitely a big thing already.

  • I LOVE the Hunger Games! So excited for it to e a movie!!! Mockingjay totally sucked though.

  • The next Giant crave

    Is Zombies

  • AAAUUUGGGGHHHHH Why must they make movies out amazing books!!!!!! NEXT THERE PROLLY GONNA BE DOIN MAXIMUM RIDE ANS THE LOOKING GLASS WARS AND THINGS LIKE THAT!!!

  • I think the hunger games will be the next BIG thing. The Books are AMAZING ♥

  • It is becoming a movie. A website said "The movie rights were acquired by Lionsgate in March of 2009." BLAH "The movie is slated to begin production in 2011. Author Suzanne Collins wrote the script for the movie, in collaboration with screenwriter Billy Ray, who is also set to adapt the television series 24 into a full length feature film. Gary Ross was announced as the director of The Hunger Games. As of December 2010, the full cast of The Hunger Games has not been revealed. "

  • On the Topic of the next big thing, you happened to mention Werewolves ... Now Keleb, I think all of us over on 'ShiverGuy' have been more than patient.

    Any chance of a heads up as to when we can expect a new video, it's been 5 months now, just saying :)

  • No. Hunger Games could not get as big as Twilight or Harry Potter because it is over and everyone knows how it ends, so there will be no chance for speculation. Plus, waaaayyyy too many people were disappointed with the third book. Mockingjay did not live up to our expectations at all.
