| Bella has strong aversion to blood. | Bella passes out when she and Edward perform a blood typing experiment in class. | This part wasn’t well done in the movie. |
| Jacob Black and Bella’s relationship. | Bella first meet Jacob at the beach outing with some of the kids from school. She later flirts with him in order to know him well. | Bella meets Jacob in the beginning of the movie where he brought the red truck which Charlie bought for his father. |
| Some of the vampire kids in the Cullen family have special powers. | Edward can read minds (except Bella’s mind)
Jasper fells the emotions of people around him and has the power to alter them. |
Only Alice and Edward’s power were explained in the movie. |
| Alice and Jasper guarded Bella. | Bella abandoned Alice and Jasper at an airport and leaves a note for Edward. | Bella decided to ditch Alice at the hotel where they were hiding out from James, the homicidal vampire with enhanced tracking. |
| The Nomads (James, Laurent, and Victoria). | They were first introduced to Nomads when they approached the Cullen’s during a family baseball game. | The movie did a great job of foreshadowing by first illustrating the viciousness of Nomads. When they met the Cullen’s I immediately understood the importance of hiding Bella from them. |
| Edward kills James | We never got the details about what transpires between Edward and James, we simple knew that he killed James. | The movie showed how Edward killed James. |
