Harry Potter Vs. Twilight Question

How long did the Twilight craze last in your school?For how long were people obsessed with Harry Potter?

For example, in my school everyone started talking about Twilight only during the release of Breaking Dawn. We pretty much forgot it after two months, but the seventh-graders are still obsessed with it.

I go to an all-girls high school, so when it hit, there was no escaping.

The craze kicked in about a week before Breaking Dawn was released, people got really obsessive when the movie came out, and in 2009 it was still pretty big for the first few months of the year. There was a bit of hype around the release of the New Moon film, but not a huge amount.

When Breaking Dawn came out, it was literally impossible to walk 10m without seeing someone holding a Twilight book. That's how obsessed our school was.

I was a fan from September 2008, and then I gradually stopped liking the series once the movie stopped playing in cinemas and the hype died down a bit.

I think some of the year 7's/8's are quite into it but that's because they've only just come into the middle school, and they were too young to read it when the real craze was.

I'm so sorry (that you couldn't escape Twilight.) What are Year 7 and 8 though? Is that 6th and 7th grade?

^ That depends. I'm from Western Australia, so going to the Eastern states, yes, going to the Northern Hemisphere is a bit more complicated because the school year starts in February here, rather than September.

Seriously? No Harry Potter fans at all? Even now, in the middle of chem lab, we crack lame HP jokes. Your school is definitely unique. Or maybe it's just my school that's weird.

Maybe you just don't talk to them, so you don't think there are any HP fans, but really there are.

There's some HP fans but I'm like, one of the real and only die-hard ones. Twilight only became really popular when the movie was in the making and half the girls haven't even finished the first book. At least the few HP fans in my school have read all the books. >.< I consider my school quite stupid.

I go to an all girls school too, but it's the opposite here. Harry Potter's been huge there since I started in 1999, but barely anyone knew what Twilight was until the ads for the film came out.

Well, we kinda moved on from HP AND Twilight. A lot of people like Twilight in a sort of guilty-pleasure way, but they prefer other vampire books like Vampire Academy and House of Night. HP is kinda loved by everyone, but the excitement died down. On an unrelated note, every 10th-grader in band at my school hates Twilight.

EDIT: I also go to an all-girls school.

Well, believe it or not, Im not just saying this. But when I went to Highschool- I graduated in 2007, I heard nothing of this " Twilight". There were a bunch of Harry Potter fans, we had the books in the Library, we are a " Red" state, but not that conservative. WE even had a Harry Potter club in Highschool, I unfortunately heard about it at the last min, but still made it a couple times and was sorted into Ravenclaw. We had a Senior Year Halloween Party, seniors only, and I went as Hermione Granger. That was of course the year the last book came out, and Barnes and Noble and B.Dalton both had midnight parties and people were packing in at both dressed as characters. I went to B.Dalton. Barnes and Noble is always busy. Played Trivia, had Harry Potter cookies, got crossword puzzles. Then at 12:01 I got in line for Deathly Hallows. ( I skipped to the end) I couldnt wait-LOL, people were saying harry would die, Im like NOOOOO! then Snape and Bella die- Im like oh Shit!

At my school, no one had even heard of Twilight, and everyone had read Harry Potter. Maybe because I graduated in 2003 ;)

At my work we are HP obsessed though, and I work in an office ;)

I was a senior when Twilight stared to get popular, so I was never engulfed with and craze, nor have I witnessed it. That's probably why I'm not at all annoyed by it.

I was in 4th grade when Everyone started loving Harry Potter. All the teachers read the first book to their classes at the same time, so it hit pretty hard. We had Harrry Potter look-a-like contests and everything.
It was fun. I was engulfed in all the HP craze. It lasted for about five or six years, I guess.

There is a lot more Twilight fandom in my school than Harry Potter actually, even to this day. Once, I saw a Twilight book in a girl in my chorus class' hands, and she says she was rereading it!

Plus, a lot of people keep saying how much they love Twilight. It gets worse: most say how HOT Edward or Jacob is! Others, like my one friend, just likes it because she thinks its a good book, and not because either is "hot"; because she's my friend, I respect her opinion. As for those other fans, great reasons... -_-

As for HP fans, they're pretty rare. I only know around five people aside from me as of now. It really sucks, because I can't really talk about my HP fandom pretty much, except here, of course!
