Book 	Movie
In the book, there is no Waylon Forge. 	Waylon Forge is at the diner. Victoria, Laurent and James kill him when he is fixing his boat. Also, Waylon is wearing a shirt that says "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" which Victoria is later seen wearing.
Bella and Charlie don't eat at the diner. Instead, Bella cooks the meals at home. 	In the movie, they eat at the diner a lot.
When Edward takes Bella out of his car at the beginning of school, he doesn't touch her because it states in Midnight Sun he doesn't want to risk losing his self-control. 	In the movie, Edward slings his arm around Bella.
No scene of Edward bouncing an apple off his foot exists in the book. 	Edward bounces an apple off his foot in the cafeteria scene in the movie and catches it in the same manner as is seen on the Twilight book cover.
Nothing is mentioned about the Cullens wearing the family crest. 	All the members of the Cullen family wear the family crest on an accessory on their body.
Phil has no lines in the book, nor is he mentioned driving Bella to the airport. 	Phil is seen in Arizona before Bella leaves. He says "I love ya both, but we got a plane to catch."
Victoria disappears after the baseball game and is not seen again until New Moon. 	You see Victoria at the prom watching Edward and Bella at the end of the movie, hinting to the plot of the next movie.
Edward takes Bella to his house to meet his family and while they are there, he plays Bella's lullaby and then shows her the house, they have a discussion about a cross. He also takes her to Carlisle's office and talks about his history.	When Edward takes Bella to his house, the Cullens are cooking Italian food for her. When Edward says Bella has already eaten, Rosalie breaks a bowl with her bare hands.
There is no mention of a field trip in the book. 	In the movie, there is a field trip to a greenhouse.
Edward never calls Bella Spider Monkey in the book. In the book after Edward teases Bella by saying"Well, you really shouldn't have said that", he jumps towards her, picks her up, and then jumps on the couch. 	After Edward jumps out the window, he says, "You better hold on tight, 'Spider Monkey'."
In the book, Rosalie doesn't have a nickname for Emmett. 	During the baseball game scene Rosalie calls Emmett her "Monkey Man".

Victoria doesn't talk until she reappears in Eclipse. 	Victoria talks at Waylon's boathouse where she and James repeat the questions they'd heard from their prey. She says "What do you want?" She also speaks at the baseball game, telling Emmett and Jasper, "I'm the one with the wicked curveball." and "We shall see."
When Bella arrives in Forks, the book doesn't mention anything about Bella holding a small cactus. In the book, her carry along item is a parka. 	Bella brings a potted cactus with her to Forks as a reminder of her old home in Arizona.
While Bella is in Port Angeles, she remembers she left her pepper spray at home. 	Bella uses the pepper spray that Charlie gave her on James, which makes him very angry.
At the Cullen's home, there are no graduation caps on the wall. 	There are many caps in a big frame on the wall—one each for every time they had to move around.

In the book, in regard to the heroin line: Isabella offers the analogy "So what you're saying is, I'm your brand of heroin?" to which Edward replies "Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroin."

Alcohol is not mentioned, and when he compares her scent to a drug, Edward simply delivers the line "You're like my own personal brand of heroin."

In the book, Bella calls Jessica and Jessica asks what happened with Edward.. 	In the movie, it doesn't happen at all.
In the book Jasper poses as a senior, not a junior. 	In the movie, Jasper is seen on the class field trip along with Edward and Alice.

In the book, Alice tells Bella how a person becomes a vampire as Edward doesn't want her to know. 	In the movie, Edward tells her.
In the book, Edward stays with Bella after saving her from Tyler's van, and also rides in the ambulance. Dialogue occurs between Edward and Bella in which he expresses his concern for her, plants the false "safe" version of the story in which he was there the whole time, and agrees to tell her the truth later in exchange for her cooperation. Later in the hospital, when Tyler asks how she was able to get out of the way so fast, Bella goes along with the false story Edward gave her, which earns his trust. The incident is much more involved than what is portrayed in the movie, giving Bella even more proof of Edward's superhuman abilities. Edward is standing only four cars down from Bella when Tyler loses control of the van. The van is spinning out of control and not only skids toward Bella, but rotates toward her after Edward's initial attempt to deflect it- supporting the "bad luck" idea about her. The van rocks up on two wheels after the first impact, causing Edward to further expose himself by catching it and moving Bella out of the way before it comes down on her legs. Edward braces himself against the car parked next to Bella's truck in order to stop the van, causing him to make an impression in it shaped like his shoulders - which Bella notices. Additionally, Bella is injured since Edward is moving too fast to be gentle when he grabs her and moves her out of the way. He is unable to prevent her head from smacking the icy pavement. Charlie arrives on the scene, and speaks to Bella before she is taken to the hospital. EMTs are involved, and Bella notices that 8 people are needed just to shift the van enough to bring stretchers in (presumably relating this to Edward's demonstration of his immense strength, just prior). A neck brace is put on Bella, much to her chagrin. Tyler's injuries come across as somewhat more severe in the book.	In the movie, Edward walks away after saving Bella from Tyler's van and there is no dialogue between them at the time. Bella realizes Edward is obviously hiding something, and while she mentions his involvement, she chooses on her own not to bring up his inexplicable strength in being able to stop the van with his bare hands. This keeping of his secret without being asked to is how she earns his trust. The entire incident is simplified a great deal. Edward's impossible speed and strength are still obvious to Bella, but without quite as much evidence. Edward is on the other side of the parking lot when Tyler loses control of the van, which does not spin out of control, but slides laterally on its way to side-swipe Bella's truck - with her sandwiched between the two vehicles. Edward's reaction and/or movement seems faster. From a much greater distance than in the book, he gets to Bella in time to cradle her gently with one arm, and—almost casually—stop the motion of the van with the other. Edward is portrayed as a nearly unmovable force. The momentum of the van hardly affects him at all, barely causing him to rock toward the truck slightly, but not enough to come in contact with it. While the "story" is that she hit her head, Bella suffers no injury from the van or Edward's intervention, and is simply shocked after witnessing Edward's abilities. 9-1-1 is called, but the scene cuts to the hospital before an ambulance or EMTs are shown. Bella is never shown on a stretcher, or in a neck brace. After the accident, Charlie first sees Bella at the hospital, rather than at the school. Tyler is barely injured having only a small cut on his forehead.
In the book, Charlie is waiting in the waiting room for Bella. 	In the movie, Charlie is in the E.R. with Bella and tells Tyler: "You can kiss your license goodbye!"
In the book, it is stated that Esme was turned before Rosalie, meaning that Esme would be with the Cullens. 	In the movie, when Jacob tells Bella of the legends between his tribe and the Cullens, there is a flashback scene of Edward, Carlisle, Rosalie and Emmett feeding on an animal. Esme is absent in the scene.
In the book, after the incident with the van, Edward undented the car he had smashed into. 	In the movie, he wasn't near any other car to dent it.
In the book, Laurent says the line "you brought a snack" in the form of a question. 	In the movie, James says the line, but as a statement.
