PsychoticLove picked harry potter:
I like Harry Potter better, because the books seem..I dunno better. But I do like Twilight too..I'm just not a rabid fangirl who scratches her neck and asks Robert Pattinson to bite me. :/
I only see him as Cedric Diggory, I could never see him do a vampire role. And the popularity Twilight has gotten is kind of sickening. I liked it before all the other girls started to read it.
Not meaning to disrespect die-hard Edward Cullen fans.

I love them both, they're both AMAZING. Right now I would say Twiight is better because I've recently read those books. But, if I reread the harry potter series I would say that HP is so much better. It all depends on which one I'm obssesing over at the moment. When the Harry Potter 6 movie comes out I'll probably switch back to talking about that one =)

Nocas482 picked Twilight:
I chose Twilight because I think Harry Potter was the book that followed my development till now. And as I was groing, I grew more and more interested in the complications of love, and Twilight is a great love story, that makes the girls, wo fell once in love and got hurt, have hope again... Maybe there's some one out there to be beside us for the rest of our lives...
That's just my opinion

ToEkNeE picked harry potter:
Twilight is okay. Its not the best. I think HP is better because JK Rowling really created this world, this beautiful fantasy world with plots that were so well sewn together. It was full of brilliance. Total brilliance. Many people found it boring because they didn't bother to actually try to comprehend it. Most people like the love story type thing blah blah blah. Frankly I find the storyline for twilight, kind of, weak... But see, HP wasn't just a series like Twilight. It was more. It had everything. If you really took the time to actually understand the books and re read them, you'd appreciate them just as much as most of you love twilight. And no offense but twilight isn't as great as it looks. I thought when I was first going to read it that, oh, this looks like a really good book series, yet, since i read hp before twilight, i felt a little disappointed. It wasn't the OMG i was expecting. Its a good book-decent enough but, don't get me wrong but i think some people are a little melodramatic when it comes to just how good this book is.

I swear you can read this somewhere else in here...

13Merlinspants picked harry potter:
harry potter [book] because i find it to be written in a much better way it has a climax it isnt all crazy through the whole book leaving it with nowhere togo but down hill (like twilight) and the plot seems to actually follow on logically from point to point and continues to make sense with the precious books in the series
where as i find the first twilight book to be well written in the first 5 chapters or so but then falls apart in to some cheesey romance novel with some action thrown in (well they are vampires...) then as the series continues it seems to go down hill in the way that it is written till at the end - the 4th book - it seems to turn into a fanfiction that tries to please everyone and there is no fighting it all seems very anti climactic to me in the end as well as finding that jacob liking bellas baby not only slightly disturbing - but also very out of the plot/story she had with jacob and the wolves where they couldnt stand the smell of vampires and although she is only half vampire it seems to me as if she did not have a set out planof where her books were going when she started writting - but JKR did as i have seen in a few documentrys/interwiews where she talks about all of her extra notes about the characters the plots and the settings and even has drawings of her own that she hands to the directors of the film so that they know what the settings should look like and so on.
now in the movies department i still go with harry potter as to mee the special effexts seem to be better than they are in twilight as well as camera angles and the acting (not that any of the actors are that bad in twilight) also edward is supposed to be the most hottest thing to walk the planet but when i see robert patterson all i can think of is "how long has it been since he washed his hair" so that ruined the endward movie character for me straight away - although i wasnt particually fond of the book version either as the only character in the twilight books that didnt annoy me was alice
anyway i think thats enough reasons from me, but yeah personally my vote has to go to harry potter

nati30 picked harry potter:
konyomi should learn to write. Anyway, i like hp better simply because of how complex, exciting, dramatic, and whimsical it is, especially dumbledore. Twiligh is very predictable and all the books happen exactly like this: edward and bella love each other, something happens to threaten they're realationship, most of the time someone tries to eat bella somewhere in between, and then they fix everything they live happily till the next book, and everything repeats itself. Oh and dont judge harry potter on the movies because i dont think anyone can become a real fan just with the movies because my opinion is the movies suck compared to the books, but they are pretty good.

QueenVictoria73 picked harry potter:
I grew up with Harry Potter! My dad read the first three books out loud to my sister, my brother and I when we were little. But I love the Twilight movies, don't get me wrong. The books, though, wow Twilight is just a story about two teens who have a relationship based on throw up worthy sickly sweet fluffiness and sexual desires. SM said herself the book didn't have a message, which pretty much means it's a bunch of words put together that means nothing. Also, I love vampires, but it is not a vampire book, because VAMPIRES DO NOT FING SPARKLE!!! You want vampires, watch/ read interview with the vampire and watch The Little Vampire. HP is just an amazing piece of literature. The style of writing, the complete characters, the intricate plot, and the messages about society and lessons about growing up that JKR put in there just make it a great piece of art. Also, HP has a little bit of everything in it, with fantasy, angst, adventure, and romance, and a lot of other stuff, so it appeals to everyone. Pretty much, Twilight should not even be compared to Harry Potter because it is nowhere in the same league and I have no idea how it got so big.

Mrs-Grint picked harry potter:
Pfft. I've just been looking at the responses and most Twilight fans have just put stuff like TWILIGHT ROCKS! and HP SUCKS!

Really, I definetly prefer HP. I love all the diffrent plots and how things only mentioned in other books become important in others. I would bet that most people would say HP. JK Rowling has really created her own fantasy world for all ages, so everyone can enjoy it. Twilight is more for teenage girls.

Also the portrail of female charcters in HP books. Hermoine, for instance, she's ambitious, independant, hard-working. SHE doesn't need a boyfriend to depend on, unlike Bella who is totally dependant on Edward. Also Ginny, who is also a important character shes much more than just Harry's girlfriend and Ron's little sister. She's stubborn and fierce. Even though in Twilight they have this Alice, the girls are still pretty dependant on the male charcters.

Now the films, Harry Potter films (excuse the bluntness) are AWESOME. Not as good as the books obviously which show more of Harry's point of view, more depth of the chracters etc. I went to my friend, Alex's house, we watched Twilight and I nearly fell asleep halfway through the film. It was soooooooo boring.

Heh, so GO HARRY POTTER!!

Because HP is an entire new world and so much more EPIC! The plot is amazing and it is so well written, whatever happened in the beginning of the series will matter in the end. All knotes are tied like Riddle's diary which turned out to be a hocrux! J.K. wasn't affraid to sacrifice good characters like Sirius, Albus and all the great, great people that died in DH like Fred, Remus, Tonks and Snape. It's sad and yet so very beautiful. It's the epic battle between good and evil and all about human nature that is neither black nor white, no one is entirely good or entirely evil, it depends on what choices we make. There is so much to all of those characters and a part of us died with them when they fell for the good cause. Because I cried through the last 200 pages is why I picked HP!
Twilight is like a grease fanfiction with predictable storyline... And vampires DO NOT SPARCLE!

HARRY POTTER WILL KICK YOUR ARSE!!!
(calms down)
Stephenie (don't even know how to spell her name) Mayher needs to learn how to write.
how can people even contenplate Twilight being better than Harry Potter? you can clearly see from the results which one is better! Jk has created an entire world of her own, you can slip in and out of it any time you like and totally feel parted from the norm.
the only reason why people think that Twilight is better, is because it's a craze and people love to feel that they are part of it. Harry Potter is amazing, exiting, thrilling, emotional, funny, LOL, danger-filled, etc etc etc! Twilight is basically about a wuss of a vampire (who is more like a pink fairy, because he sparkles) who stalks a teenage girl when he is over one hundred years old (talk about SICK!!!) and when he decides to leave and does the sensible thing, she almost kills herself over-melodramaticly because well... I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA!!!
Twilight fans are people who aren't intulectually advanced enough to read Harry Potter, therefore emediatly assuming that they must hate it...
of course this is a very bad generalisation, but nevertheless mostly true.
And in answer to someone elses comment... how can you say that Vampires an be real but magic can't??? Not only is that totally delusional, but it also shows that you have completely lost your inner child, as Harry Potter appeals to all ags for a reason...
PROVE THAT MAGIC ISN'T REAL... COME ON... PROVE IT!!!

i know that none of the twilight-obssesed will listne to me, but it just feels really good to vent sometimes!

volleyblue13 picked harry potter:
ditto mimifaith! Haha and this is how I sum up Edward Cullen in a few choice words: stupid, sparkley, gay, emo vampire boy ;)

I could probably sum up Twilight in a little paragraph too: Oh Edward your so hot, even though you sparkle like a gay fairy! I love you so much but I'm scared your gonna eat me! Oh I love Jacob now cuz he's so hot, oh but Jacob I love Edward, BITE ME EDWARD! I'm scared of you now Edward, I love Jacob again, but now I don't like either of you! Oh but I LOVE Edward I love how he stalks me, BITE ME, BITE ME, ok you bit me... Lets have a kid even though its impossible!

You know what that sounds like to me? BIPOLAR

Harry Potter actually has necissary DETAIL in it, and depth. Its not shallow like gay Twilight. At least the characters in Harry Potter aren't all whiny backstabbing bipolar teenagers! But of course most people fall for stupid Twilight because its so easy to understand, my 3 year old cousin could read it! And it's so unrealistic because in the end it's a perfect "happily ever after" moment, and nothing goes wrong. At least Harry has to overcome people dying and be brave anyway! Everything just falls into place for the Twilight characters.

And also, what makes Twilight even MORE retarded is the Twihards. "OMG I WANNA MAKE OUT WITH ROBERT PATTINSON CUZ I THINK HE'S AN ACTUAL VAMPIRE AND I DON'T REALISE HOW UGLY HE IS CUZ I HAVE IT IN MY MIND THAT HE'S A SEX GOD!" really people... REALLY?

If Robert Pattinson EVER kissed me I would puke, pass out, wake up screaming, my eyes would burn and fall out, I'd pull all of my hair out, break my legs and arms, then have someone toss me over a cliff.

R-O-B-E-R-T. P-A-T-T-I-N-S-O-N. I-S. F--I-N-G. H-I-D-E-O-U-S.

Harry Potter teaches people about bravery, loyalty, and the strength in friendship. And when someone says that Harry Potter is UNCOOL, then WOW, you must have no feelings whatsoever. (and don't try to tell me you do by saying you like this so-called "romance" book. If you call that romance, I feel bad for whoever has to marry a Twihard.)

ToyletGnome picked harry potter:
Harry Potter is well written, amazingly created, has characters with personalities, you can relate the story to real life, it teaches values and life lessons, etc.
Neither of the stories are completely original. JKR took the classic basic plot of a young idealistic boy who, along with his two sidekicks (a male and a female) have to save the world. Watch A New Hope and then Philosopher's Stone and you'll see what I mean. Stephenie Meyer made a human fall in love with a vampire... yeah that's about it. The Twilight series (or "saga" or whatever shit it's called now) are the only paranormal romance books I've read, however, I've heard from a lot of people that it's essentially a rip off of Vampire Diaries and True Blood (whatever the books series the show is based off is called, I forgot the official title). Harry Potter, however, has a fresh new set of intricate subplots and and immerses you in this amazing magical world, a creation of Rowling's. Most stories use the BASIC plot of Harry Potter/Star Wars/etc but there's so much the writers DO with it, you forget about that and you focus on the individuality of the characters, the fantastic new worlds and the message each one conveys. Harry Potter has enchanted me since I was six years old, I'm not going to give up on it now. It's the kind of story you read to your children, and your grandchildren. It's the epic fantasy story of our generation and they're my favourite books. Twilight will never compare.

sleazy_weasley picked harry potter:
I'm sick of people saying they like Twilight better because Edward Cullen is better than Harry. When we say 'Harry Potter', we mean the series, like the book, NOT the main character. So Harry Potter's not a 'he', it's an 'it', because it's a series. The Harry Potter story. Got it? Good.

Okay, I've noticed a lot of Twilight fans saying that they like Twilight better due to the 'romance.' *barfs*
Are people too blind to realize that Harry Potter is based on love? Love at first sight, unrequited love, family love, romantic love, love for friends, love for the environment you're in, lack of love, and how sometimes, love really is the answer to everything? And yet sometimes, love just isn't enough? And then there's death; a key theme in the Harry Potter books. J.K.R. is not afraid to kill off her good characters, and when she does, she writes in such a way that moves the reader emotionally and mentally.

Not to mention, the characters are far better built; they have flaws, they have personalities, and they range from witty dweebs like Luna Lovegood to the hilarious charmer of Ron Weasley, and the cruel school bully in the likes of Draco Malfoy.

Additionally, in my opinion, the plot is far better constructed than Twilight. In Twilight, everything is quite predictable; I knew from the first book that Bella and Edward would eventually get together, and that Bella would obviously turn into a vampire. In Harry Potter, we could see that a friendship had formed between Harry, Ron and Hermione, and while one could hazzard a guess that Hermione and Ron would get together ([perhaps in the third or fourth book), who would have known that the reason Dumbledore kept Harry alive was so that he could die at the 'right time'? Who would have known that Voldemort and Harry shared a soul, and that was how they were connected? Who would have known that Bill and Fleur were going to get married? And who the fuck would have known that Hedwig's death was necessary, as were Fred's, Remus', and Dobby's? And who could have known about Voldemort's Horcruxes, or that Remus and Tonks would get together?

And do NOT get me started on Snape. He was the bravest character I ever knew (both in fiction and reality), and um, Lily? Need I say more? Sure, Jacob's like, all in pain because Bella and Eddykins are gonna get together, but oh no, it won't be cool for him to live in pain, so he falls in love with Bella's baby instead. JACOB BLACK (17 Y.O. WOLF-MAN) FALLS IN LOVE WITH RENESMEE (RENESMEE, really?!) WHO IS A HALF-VAMP HUMAN HYBRID THING THAT TRIED TO EXPLODE HERSELF OUT OF BELLA'S UTERUS. Sorry for the Caps rape. :D

So yeah.

To sum up, I think Harry Potter is better than Twilight, I'll always love Harry Potter, and I'll probably always hate Twilight ... thanks to two years ago, when I was heartily Robsessed with the series (before they became overratedly popular) and thought Ed was cool. By the time 'Twilight' hit the cinemas, I'd seen the light, and realized I was obsessing over a crappily written novel and a sparkling pedophile. Grr.

Harry Potter has a bit of everything-love(but not that obssessive love like in Twilit),drama,action,comedy(thanks to the Weasleys)and it teaches you about the most important things in life-meaning of friendship,love,life and death!
Twilit teaches you that if your boyfriend dumps you-jum of a cliff?Get depressed?Be a slut???Srsly??
And the biggest reason why any of you Twihards like Twilit is cause you have a thing for Edward(Robert) or Jacob(Taylor).GET A LIFE!

Renarimae picked harry potter:
I like Harry Potter and Twilight, but, I just like Harry Potter fifty times better. This is why:
1. Characters aren't liked simply because they're sexy (many people don't even know what sexy means).
2. Yes rabid fangirls, "ROBERT PATTINSON/EDWARD CULLEN IS SO HOT!" for me, isn't a legitimate reason for Twilight being better than Harry Potter.
3. The Wizarding World doesn't have imprinting.
4. HP fans won't go violent, rabid, and/or raging if someone doesn't like the series.
5. There have been girlfights, death threats, and murder attempts thanks to the rabid Twilight fandom.
6. HP Characters get married and have children at an appropriate age. Not in the teen years.
7. The male characters don't dominate the female characters.
8. The main female character's boyfriend isn't highly creepy and overprotective.
9. Last time I checked fictional characters didn't exist.
10. Harry Potter is for ALL ages, while Twilight is mainly for tween/teen girls.
11. Harry Potter has a better plotline in my opinion.
12. I just find J.K. Rowling more likable than Stephenie Meyer.
13. HP has better villians.
14. Snape! Snape! Severus Snape!
15. What isn't cool about green flashes of light that kill people.
16. Harry Potter DOES have love. It's one of the main themes.
17. The Wizarding World is just cooler.
18. Voldemort and the Death Eaters actually got crap done. They took over the Ministry of Magic, killed millions of people, and why do you think they call Voldemort "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named".
19. If Edward and Bella's "love" is pretty much based on Edward's physical perfection and Bella's sweet scent, then that's infatuation with the body or lust, not love.
20. Love at first sight doesn't seem realistic enough.
21. Wizards have a weapon against vampires: Avada Kedavra, a.k.a. The Killing Curse.
22. Personally, I find J.K. Rowling more likable than Stephenie Meyer.
23. HP characters actually own pets.
24. Draco Malfoy is a better bully than Lauren Mallory will ever be.
25. While immortality might seem cool and happy, when your family and friends begin dying, I bet there will be more tears than any of that.
26. My 6 year old cat could think of a better name than Renesmee Carlie Cullen.
27. A teenage girl constantly talking about how "gorgeous and perfect" her boyfriend gets annoying.
28. Harry Potter isn't predictable.
29. Even when the guys they loved left, the female characters moved on with their lives.

Even though I'm a fan of both, I do believe that Harry Potter is most definitely better than Twilight.

1-2vampire picked harry potter:
Harry Potter, not only because I think Twilight is a fad that just needs to die out already, but because I truly and honestly think that Harry Potter is extremely interesting to read, and extremely exciting. I cried, I laughed, I gasped, and I almost f--ing died when Voldemort "killed" Harry.

Twilight is simply popular because in this day and age, all girls that this book is directed towards are desperate teenage girls.

Harry Potter has been a part of my childhood; a part of lots of teenagers childhoods, and they are straying from that because they haven't read it, so they don't know it's actually not childish at all.

And whoever said Harry Potter is UNCOOL, then you must be kidding me. How shallow could you get that you're judging something on, not it's quality, not it's valid faults, but it's "coolness." It's people like you who got that guy off the Frosties advert to kill himself.

Harry Potter is about bravery, strength, friendship, love, and not just the "you're pretty I want to marry you." love it's the family love, love that gives you the strength to die to protect your child, love that has blossomed over years, not days. Love for your friends, to help them when in danger, putting their troubles first, joining in on journeys that may or may not kill you, to help a friend in desperate need, even when this help is rejected.

Bella is in fact an extremely weak character. She has her friends, her family, yet it seems that all she has is her boyfriend, because she BROKE DOWN when her boyfriend LEFT HER! I've been dumped but I haven't gone into a decline and a panic because of it! Seriously.

Harry Potter :)
I think Harry Potter is a lot more creative :) J K Rowling has created a whole new world. So much thought has been put into it, whereas I don't see the same creativity in the Twilight books :)
I find Harry Potter to be so much more exciting - something is always happening. It never gets boring, while I find Twilight to be very repetitive, and not at all exciting. For example, Breaking Dawn, at the time I was a huge Twilight fan, but found it to be such a disappointment. Half of the book was a huge built up to this inevitable fight that never happened. Or Twilight, the majority was just a love story, with James added in at the end. It seemed to me as though it were added in as an afterthought to add some excitement to the story.
I also much prefer the characters in Harry Potter :) When I'm reading a book, I like to have main characters who I find likeable and interesting to read. Bella & Edward I find to be quite dull whereas characters like Harry, Ron and Hermione I find to be a lot more interesting and relatable :D
& I love how Harry Potter is so well thought out! Like tiny tiny details from earlier books, come back later in the series (e.g. Dumbledore's Deluminator, was used in the first book, and there was no mention of it again until the final book, where it was important. Or the anagram with Voldemort and Tom Riddle's name. The fact that Harry killed the basilisk with the sword, was important in the final book. And so many other details like that)

I love Harry Potter :D <3

Gred_and_Forge picked harry potter:
I've been a fan of Harry Potter for 10 years now, and honestly, I don't see my love for the series ending anytime soon. I was a fan of Twilight back in 2008 (before the movie came out) and was a slightly bigger fan of it than HP at one time (I bow my head in shame). The only reason I was a slightly bigger fan of Twilight at one time was because it was EVERYWHERE. How could I not get sucked into the hype? I also think that because the last HP book had already come out by that time and I waited patiently for the next movie installment, I went over to Twilight for a bit. After awhile, I began to see that Twilight is just not that good, in my opinion. The books are horribly written and very repetitive (i.e. any description of Edward). The movies were just as worst. I think I laughed a total of 2 times in all 3 movies (Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse). I know it's not a comedy, but there has to be some humor, even in a romance movie. I was just extremely bored with Twilight after awhile. Eclipse was the movie that made me actually hate the series--extremely boring and dull. I don't even want to go into detail about the actors either >.<

As for Harry Potter, I can watch it over and over again and not get bored. I laugh, cry, get excited, etc. while watching it, unlike Twilight. I feel different emotions and think the actors are fantastic. They bring such character and depth to who they portray and you can't help but think they're like that in real life too ^_^ Even the books are better written than Twilight. JK Rowling has amassed a fortune because of her ability to create not only new words and sports, but a whole universe. All in all, I choose Harry Potter over Twilight any day :]

It's better written, better plot line, amazing characters, amazing movies from the books, it's more realistic - it could actually happen! cos we wouldn't know anything about it (lol i wish XD) Twilight is just so anti-climactic, and soppy and it goes on for ages about details that don't matter, whereas in Harry Potter - JKR mentions Krum pulling a beetle out of Hermione's hair - that's so important in the later part! WHO KNEW?!! plus it's just breathtakingly, heartstoppingly, brilliant in every single way. :)

It's better, even the smallest characters have a backstory, its plot is amazing and keeps you on the edge of your seat. when she describes an emotion, you really know exactly which emotion she's talking about. I don't know about any of you, but i don't know what it feels like to have a whole punched through my chest...
Harry Potter has more realism than Twilight, it's more believable.

The Harry Potter books are better written and the characters are developed better.

I also believe that Harry Potter sends a more important message then Twilight does.
(In my opinion the message of HP is that you have to work hard to overcome challenges and of course that love is the most powerful thing in the world, and for Twilight... a boyfriend is the most important thing for a girl.)

moodystuff449 picked harry potter:
I will judge this like the writer I am.

Harry Potter is so popular, because it has something for everyone. It has emotion, sports, school, love interests, dark themes, appealing characters, I could just keep going on and on because she incorporated elements that are really for everyone. Twilight has an unrealistic relationship between two characters that hardly know each other on a personal level. There is a girl who tries to commit suicide multiple times because of some guy who broke up with her and who she ends up marrying at very young age. Plus, the guy rapes her and stalks her. Wow. Gee, I WONDER which one is going to last! Or, better yet, which one is a better example towards young teenagers! I mean, REALLY!!

Look, Twihards. Hate Harry Potter? You're dumb because Twlight wasn't written well and I predict that it will only last a few months after the last movie.

Here's a book series that is a romance, a good quality romance, but takes wizards to a whole new level.

This is the BEST book I have ever read. Like it? Read "Castle in the Air" and "The House of Many Ways" which are the two sequels.

Harry Potter has a much better/interesting plot. It's not really for kids. The kids below 10 would only understand the first 2 books. From the third book onwards, the plot is more complicated. Although I like Twilight and the romance between Edward and Bella, i love Harry Potter more.

lostandhp4ever picked harry potter:
HARRY POTTER

1.) Harry character is described with more adjectives than "beautiful".
2.) Harry Potter has Fred & George!
3.) People between 10-60 can/does read Harry Potter. Twilight readars are crazy 14-year old girls.
4.) Bella wants to die because Edward leaves her. Harry experienced Hate/Torture/Humiliation, but never gave up on his life.
5.) In HP you find love between people who you wouldn´t think of at the first moment. (Harry/Ginny & Ron/Hermione) In Twilight it´s obvious in the first page who is with who.
6.) In HP the enemy is not dying already in the first book. Why did she need to write 3 more books? If the enemy is dying, then the rest is boring.
7.) The villains are crazier (Bellatrix, Voldi) and this is kinda cool. And the villains have their backgrounds (Tom Riddle) to show us why they are like they are. - They are not just bad like in Twilight.
8.) The Harry Potter girls/ women can live without men. They are independent - they are strong. They don´t need to get saved all the time. They can save themselves.
9.) Edward Cullen is not depicted like a vampire, he is depicted like Tinkerbell. Sweet but why is a male Tinkerbell so hot?
10.) Harry is not stalking Ginny.
11.) The Harry Potter actors can act!
12.) The characters have grown in our hearts because of their characters not because of their hotness.
13.) There are so many wise characters with wise quotes. And they have a mentor effect. (Dumbledore, Sirius Black)
14.) There are many characters who are black or white, Asian or European. But racist attitudes are based on whether a character is a magical or non-magical person. With this JKR wants to tell us how irrelevant racism is and that it has nothing to do with your skin colour or religion or something. Harry Potter has a message - and it´s pretty good. What was the message in Twilight again?
15.) HP doesn´t use long adjectives, or it doesn´t repeat the same adjectives over and over again just to make itself look well written. It is well written.
16.) Harry Potter will always be remembered. I´m so sure about this - Twilight not.
17.) Characters don´t get pregnant and married just after high school. HP is not sexist and in HP the male characters don´t dominate the female characters.
18.) Harry Potter has sense of humor.
19.) JKR mentions in her books creatures from Greek mythology
20.) No, Harry Potter is actually one story, which is about LOVE!

"okay...... if ur a vamp u live FOREVER!!! WIZARDS DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Vampires can die. rip them apart and set them on fire. Apperantly you have never heard of horcruxes or deaths cloak of invisibility or the philosphers/sorcerers stone. Wizards CAN live forever. But they can both die.

"plus... vamps sparkle. WHAT CAN WIZARDS DO IN THE SUN?????? NOTHING COOL!!!!!!!!!!"

Sparkling in the sun isn't really that cool. Imagine if you sparkled in the sun. How many people would laugh at you? It's either this messed up world we live in, that sparkling just isn't cool, or both. Wizards have spells. They can do nearly anything they want... and so much more.

I respect your opinion so its GREAT that you like twilight, but try and provide a better argument please! :)



I never really, REALLY liked twilight but it was ok for about a month. Then I finished it and it wasn't too great anymore.... here's a link (copy and paste into browser) to a picture that works for my argument.

daniez picked harry potter:
Harry Potter of course! First I must that I read all HP and all Twilight and saw all the movies. Well, it doesn't give me any authority but just pointing out that I'm not just saying things...

I picked all the things twilight-fans wrote about HP and Twilight. According to them HP is just "uncool", "boring", less "intense", doesn't deal with the "complications of love", is not as "detailed as twilight", treats more about "magic than relationships", is "for kids". They add that you "want to know what will happen in Twilight" and that "Stephenie Meyer is a better writer".

- About Harry Potter being boring and less intense. Please. How can it be boring when JK Rowling litteraly created a new world, she invented everything, and WE, readers, don't know ANYTHING about it! We're discovering it! How can it be boring when there is something new in each and every page!?! How can it be boring when you realise that the book 7 explains it all using details from all the previous books!?! Unfortunately Meyer hasn't invented anything. She just distorted the conventional image of vampires. And nothing new with a girl who falls in love with a vampire: THAT is boring. It's been used and re-used in litterature! And about the issue of loving an immortal being and what to do : same thing, it's been done and re-don! On this subject and off the actual topic, Tuck everlasting is way better than Twilight and gives a real lesson on life! The girl doesn't become an immortal for the sake of passion! And truthfully I tend to think that in Tuck it was really love whereas in Twilight it is just all passion and desire.
Bavk to the topic : how can Harry be less intense when it actually has everything? Sadness, happiness, action, suspense, mystery, humour, romance! EVERYTHING! How can it be less intense when there is real PAIN, real LOSS in Harry Potter? In Twilight there is no such thing! Bella never really lost Edward! They dated for like 6 months for crying out loud!!! And he was vampire, what did she expect??? Plus, shehad that feeling that one day he was gonna disappear! And what intensity when at the end of Breaking Dawn after getting a VAMPIRE ARMY, they end up CHATTING!?! WHAT THE HELL!?! Where was the epic thing!?! BORING! Incredibly boring.

- About the complications of love in Twilight and Harry Potter being more about magic than relationships.
Twilight only treats about love or passion whatever. That is the only type of relationship developed. Harry Potter treats about having a mentor, someone you trust and look up to, about lifelong friendships, about family, the one you're born in and the one you choose, about the feeling of belonging somewhere. But it's not all beautiful. It's also about being betrayed, about the feeling of loss, about rivalry. And each of those are well depicted and each of those concern every character not only Harry. So yes there is magic but the wizarding world is just the setting for all those relationships to unfold. It's like Forks in Twilight. Meyer spends pages and pages describing Forks!!! But let's face it Forks is far less interesting so you just ignore it.
About the complications of love in Twilight... Sorry but I have to L.O.L. I mean, there isn't anything complicated in Twilight which you can relate to. They basically think they're in love,her heart sways a little when he leaves but we KNOW she's not gonna fall for Jacob. She is just depressed when Edward leaves, she is PATHETIC! It's like she can't do anything on her own. I mean I wanted to slap her the whole time, just to wake her up! Thanks for girl empowering!!! Truthfully I don't see what it could have possibly taught you???

- About wanting to know what happens in Twilight. LOL It is basically a love story between a human and a vampire. She wants to become a vampire to stay with him (though she claims otherwise afterwards but didn't quite convince me), he doesn't want her to. When he leaves, she kindles her relationship with her best friend but we KNOW she will not fall for him. And we KNOW edward is coming back in her life! And we KNOW all along that she's gonna be a vampire! WE KNOW IT ALL FROM THE VERY BEGINNING! Seriously. From time to time you have bad vampires coming to get Bella but there's always the Cullens and Jacob to save the day. We know it. So basically, nothing to fear! We know veryone is gonna be alright! And NO BATTLE at the end of Breaking Dawn! Nope! Breaking Dawn was all about having sex! Nice...
In Harry Potter you can't know what will happen! Because JK Rowling wanted us to feel that every character could die. Plus there are always mysteries and new things unfolds!

- About Meyer and Rowling. Meyer can't write. If people like the story that's great but her publisher should have had someone re-writing the whole thing. I'm not from an english-speaking country but even I can say that she's not good! She can't match up to Rowling. Even Stephen King says so... Besides, JK Rowling creates a reality when she started Harry Potter. Every character was given a family tree, a hisory of magic was written; come on! Meyer wrote about an existing place, Forks, where didn't een step foot before the second book! Seriously!?! And the story came to her in a dream!?! L.O.L

HARRY POTTER ROCKS!!!

PS : I enjoyed watching the Twilight movies by the way! Not reading the books though but my sister insisted that I read them all! She's a Twi-hard... I know, poor me.

HPfan236 picked harry potter:
harry potter because it's characters and plot send a positive message to people
EXAMPLES:
Harry: he is very determind never gives up he has his flaws but he is a very good person
Hermione: she is intelligent independent and stands up for herself and others
Ron: while he may have his moments of jealousy he is a good friend and will always help his friends
book: harry potter teaches people to always do what's right not what's easy it also teaches you about TRUE love the love between a parent and child, a godfather and godson, the love between friends, etc.... it also teaches people bavery and loyalty
Twilight however in my eye's sent a very negative message
Examples:
Bella: weak, male dependent, and willing to leave her parents, friends, and education for a GUY
Edward: to controlling, stalker
book: teaching girls you need a man to make you feel special

THIS IS MY OPINION SO DON'T BITCH ME ABOUT IT
