This is a film that has many predictable plot points, that we've seen many times before. The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is a standard fantasy adventure that, as already mentioned, borrows highly from Harry Potter. But, Clary is still resourceful, asks the right questions and is a go-getter who wants to get stuck in with the adventure. Continuing with Twilight comparisons, Clary is dependence on the other characters, but that is more due to the fact she is in a strange world and the Shadowhunters are much more experience. The character of Alec (Kevin Zegers) is the Rosalie of the film, having animosity to our major character. But, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones borrows much more from the Harry Potter, having a world within world, many mystical creatures, having a term to describe humans and focuses on a young character who could be more powerful then she realises and discovers her real past. To get the Twilight comparisons out of the way, yes there is a love triangle and a teenage girl has a romance with a supernatural creature. Valentine (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) is looking for the lost Mortal Cup that can create more Shadowhunters. Clary is thrust into a strange world of demons, vampires, witches, warlocks and werewolves and has to open up her own suppressed memories as an evil Shadowhunter. Soon, Clary's mother is kidnapped and her only ally is Jace (Jamie Campbell Bower), a Shadowhunter, a half-angel, half- human creature, who hunts demons. She begins to see it everywhere, leading her and Simon to a nightclub where she sees people, no one else can. Clary leads a normal life, but starts to draw a strange symbol, that leads to changes in her life. Her best friend, Simon (Richard Sheehan), has a crush for the young woman, but she sees him more as a brother. Clary Fray (Lily Collins) is a seemingly normal New York teenager, who lives with her artistic single mother, Jocelyn (Lena Headey).
