    I would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to Catherine Hardwicke for her achievement. Catherine was the catalyst that brought this incredible series to the screen.

    Even though I was disappointed at first that she would not continue directing the series, I now see the great benefit of having other amazing directors continue guiding the series along. It truly does bring a fresh perspective to the story.

    I am not sure if Catherine reads our TwilightMoms website. If she does, I hope she realizes that we will not forget her sincere effort and compassion for the Twilight Saga. Catherine deserves credit for a job well done.

    I wish her the best in all her endeavors.

    Now that my daughter has finished reading the books over and over again, I am starting to enjoy the books myself.

    I too would like to extend a congratulations to Catherine, with as much as we love this series of books and how they are being brought to the big screen intact enough to make them still good, it takes alot of time and tears I am sure, after reading the books and hearing that they are going to make a movie out of it the first thing you think is “they are going to butcher it” and alot of times that is true, this time, I think they hit the nail on the head. Are there things that I think could have been done better? Well yes, but, the end result anyone who has not read the books can understand the big picture and fall in love with the characters as we all have.

    The best part is, they are not going to make us wait 2 years to see the next one, they are releasing it sooner, and the next one, will be even sooner, this is the ultimate sequal high!

    I love this series!!

    Again, congratulations. You do deserve this, it is a huge honor.
