After viewing a decent number of articles, questions, and forums on this site, I realize that all who say that these two series cannot be compared are right. The two are different genres and therefore are difficult to compare.
I will say that I am a die-hard, never give in Harry Potter fã who would not be caught dead leitura Twilight. But that is my opinion. It seems to me that Twilight fãs are never given the chance to fully explain the reasons they prefer Twilight because the Harry Potter fã base does not allow them to do so. We have become so used to dealing with the hardcore fãs that we fail to remember that not all Twilight fãs are like this. I have no issue with a good, healthy debate in which the participants of both sides behave maturely and avoid demeaning the other side, but all I ask is that we do not immediately put down the other side for liking a different series.
We as Harry Potter fãs are entitled to our opinions that we prefer Harry Potter over Twilight, and the Twilight fãs are entitled to their opinion of the opposite. I have seen battles like this with other things as well. In one instance, I saw a battle between tow versions of a musical that were 30 years apart. I will say here what I said there: due to the different styles, one can say a version is PREFERABLE, but not necessarily better.
What we find better in our opinions are just those: opinions. Nothing more. I do not see why we fãs cannot put these differences aside, agree to disagree, and just mover on with life. I see no reason why the Harry Potter fã base and the Twilight fãs cannot just live together and keep their opinions. No one can change a persons mind but that person. So I say we drop the all out battle and mover on. If you want to have a healthy debate, or a joking battle with friends of the opposite fã base, I say go for it. But forget the full throttle battle in which nothing happens but fãs trashing the opposite series. That is how I feel. Please comment and tell me what you think. This is my first article, but do not hold back for that reason.
P.S. I apologize for any grammatical errors I may have made. I do the best I can with it. It is one of my biggest problems when I write essays.

I found this when I randomly looked up "Twihard"
Twihard-
Stupid obsessive people (mostly teenage girls) who are "in amor with fictional characters and wouldn't know a good book if it punched them in the face."
Twihard: "OMG!! Isn't Edward Cullen like so hot??? I'm gonna marry him!!!"
Awesome person who isn't insane: "Dude, he's not real."
Twihard: "How could you say that?! I'm in amor with him!!"

HARRY POTTER PWNS TWILIGHT!!!!!

Okay, so Is anyone else as tired of the Twilight vs. HP argument? Well, I personally prefer Twilight, but Harry Potter is also very good. I think that people should just shut the hell up over it! Every once in a while, someone will talk badly about Twilight and I will defend it, but it is still ridiculous to argue over such nonsense.
