This is an article that will clear some things that have been used in arguments between Harry Potter and Twilight.

The first thing I would like to clear up is Lily Potter's protection to Harry. Now, I know some have said that it doesn't make sense because people die to protect others. For example, in the seventh book, Voldemort goes tothat family to ask for Gregorovich, but the women said he wasn't there. Voldemort raised his wand, ready to kill her, and then her kids came running out. She shielded them, and died, but then why did they die too? This doesn't work because the women didn't have a choice to live. She was going to killed by Voldemort anyway. This is not the case with Lily Potter. Because Severus Snape asked Voldemort to spare Lily, so Lily had a chance to escape from Death. But she didn't. That's why Harry survived.

This happens once more throughout the series, and it is in the 7th book when Harry knows he must meet Voldemort in the Forest where he will be killed. Same concept, he had the chance to not go, but he decides to die, to save others, and that is love at it's deepest.

Another thing that bothers me is that people think Harry Potter is bad because it uses swear words. Let me set straight that the only two times that they have used a serious bad word (and no, bloody doesn't count) was when Bellatrix almost killed Molly's daughter! How would you react if one of your kid's was about to be killed? No, I don't think you'd stop to think: Don't swear! The other time was when Ron punched Malfoy under the invisibility cloak and said "that's the second time we saved you, you two-faced bastard!" The two swear words that were used were both used in extreme situations, so I think that they were acceptable.

But with Twilight, they use smaller swear words often, like damn, and hell, so it should be ok. One thing that bothers me about Twilight is that Stephenie Meyer is too scared to kill off any of the main characters. I just think it's kind of unrealistic. I think the message from Harry Potter is that death is unfair and that it its coming for all of us, no matter what we can do. The important thing is, that they died fighting for what they believe in! And that's honour!

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good
Rhytm of Poker Face

Bellatrix:
I’ve been in Azkaban for more than a decade
So if you’d cross my way you don’t think I’ll be afraid
I’ve become an icon in the whole wizarding world
And you’re not even hot enough to be an escort girl

Bella:
Whoa (x8)
You think you’re the best
But your hair’s like a mess
Whoa (x8)
You got no style
You love a dude who’s dead nor alive

Bellatrix:
I would like, I would like
Now I would really like to Crucio your face!

Death Eaters:
You just insulted her lover
Bella:
No not my, no not my
Don’t you mess with my pretty face

Whoa. Its the final battle already? It seems like this all started a week ago....which it did....so...yeah.
NOTE: I am a Twilight fan, so do not suggest that I think all Twilight fans are crazy. I also think HP is better than Twilight, though. Just a little.
NOTE:I like HP and T, I am not trying to make fun of either, I'm just having fun with some of the ideas.
NOTE: okay, I'm just putting this note in to build suspense.
NOTE: This is it. The big one. The end. The last one. The one and only. The awesome one. The one that is the end. The climatic one. The one that, if you do not read, will send...

I, SpeedyGonzalez did NOT write this. I just merely copyed and pasted it.

Ah, yes, Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight series. My opinion of her, from the way that she has presented herself to the public in interviews and such, is that she is a whiny, self absorbed woman with the mind of a 13 year old. She can't deal with criticism because it hurts her delicate little feelings, and believes that she is an amazing writer and that her story and characters are somehow superior to those seen in the works of people such as Jane Austen and William Shakespeare. Here's one statement that shows that...

So Harry Potter is MUCH better than some stupid book about wimpy girls and sparkly fairies. First off:
ALL the Twilight people are UGLY! I mean seriously, Taylor Lautners muscles are gross and he has ugly man-boobs. He looks like a creep on steroids. and Robert Pattison looks like a bum, and Kristen looks like a drug aggict as Bella. I mean, EW! Who wants to watch a movie with eyesores like them? Harry Potter is WAY better, I mean we have HOT guys, and the girls aren't half bad either! I mean. we have Lucius, Draco, Sirius, and Snape to say the LEAST! Plus like a zillion other eye-candy dudes!...

1. It has better writing.
2. It's plotline is better.
3. I'd rather read a book about a teenage boy going to a wizardry school and fighting a dark sorceror than one about a ditzy girl who's way too obsessed with her sparkly boyfriend.
4. The characters are more relateable.
5. J.K. Rowling is not afraid to kill off plenty of good guys.
6. Most of the characters' educations actually matter to them.
7. It doesn't have thousands of rabid fangirls.
8. The characters are more three-dimensional.
9. It stays true to mythology.
10. It has more types of love in it, not just romantic and sexual love (or should...

Before you start reading, I'd like to say this is my personal opinion. Maybe I'm wrong. If I am, I'd appreciate you don't get mad because I don't like fighting. It wasn't meant to be rude, mean or hurtfull to anybody.

For me Twilight was too easy to read. I could predict what would happen and the plot was too easy. The thing is, the plot isn't bad. Vampires exist, that's cool. You know one, yes, very cool. But the way Stephenie Meyer introduces it, how she developed her characters, how she modeled the vampire species, that is where Twilight gets people annoyed. It represent the iceburg that...

I thought this would be fun!Guess what!?What if I had an interview with J.K. Rowling and Stephanie Meyer together!This is the fake interview with me,J.K. Rowling,and Stephanie Meyer:
----------------------
Me:Welcome,Stephanie.Welcome,J.K.
Rowling:Hello.
Meyer:Hi.
M:Are you ready for the interview?
R:Yeah,Stephanie.
Stephanie:Yes.
M:Ok,since you both write fiction-how did you come up with the books?
S.M.:It was a dream,the meadow scene and I woke up and I'm like,"How did they get their?How did they fall in love?WHat would happen,next?"I jumped out of bed and sat down and started writing.Going,"I can't...

This is an answer to a question posted by coolbek. If you read it, please feel free to provide constructive criticism. However, please don't post hateful comments without backing up your opinion - it just makes you look foolish.

These are my reasons as to why people like Harry Potter more than Edward Cullen:

1. Harry has flaws - anger, sometimes arrogance and a few more. These flaws make Harry a character with depth, and also a character that we can relate to. Nobody can be perfect in the real world – our flaws are what make us human. The saying “Perfection…is apt to be dull” explains...

Alright,I don't know where to begin,I guess I already begin.

I can't believe I've taken months to conclude that I was being something humiliating,nasty and dumb for those past months.I loved Harry Potter with all my heart,its the very first novel I would not eat to have it.I used to like Twilight too when I watched the movie in the first place.

However,its pretty obnoxious when media started to compare my most favorite book with a simple love story like Twilight-no offenses,just how I used to think.That's why I joined this site,to prove that all the "move on Harry Potter.." things was wrong.

Ah well, in the name of justice now I will take it a little bit against Harry Potter. For starters I will only mention consistency errors or plot mistakes. Scientific and lore mistakes will be included later. HEY! They are 7 very long books, and unlike Twilight were mistakes were easy to spot amongst the constant lovey-dovey of Bella and Edward, Harry Potter has a lot of information going around. Now then.

1)Where did Voldemort stick his wand?
Explanation: Yeah the title doesn't give a very nice image. But seriously. Voldemort went on a solo mission to kill the Potters and their baby. Due to...

Publishers Weekly-"After her transformation into a vampire, it's almost impossible to identify with her in Breaking Dawn"

Lilah Lohr of the Chicago Tribune-"Bella's character, compared to the Quileute wolves, is less satisfying"

Kirkus Reviews-"Bella's appeal is based on magic rather than character, but her and Edward's portrayal of dangerous lovers hits the spot"
"Bella's personality is flat and obsessive"

Laura Miller of salon.com-"In regards of Edward and Bella, neither of them has much personality to speak of"

Jennifer Reese of Entertainment Weekly-"You may wish she had loftier goals and a mind...

NOTE: This interview is written as if Bella is still human. Think after Eclipse but before Breaking Dawn. And I don't mean to offend Twilight fans with any of the questions that Rita asks Bella in this article, based on Rita's personality in the books, I'm assuming she'd ask awkward questions.

We all been asking since this culb stared who would win the fight Harry Potter or Edward Cullen. First it mattereds if Harry has is wand wish it would come avange of him in a way and if Edward had Bella or not she would come a distracing to him lets start.
Harry has is wand and Edward does not have Bella. But Edward can read his man but since he does not know what the spells do it will not help at all and Edward has got speed that will help him out alot becouse he can get a way from the spell so they both got disavanges and avanges so it just may be a tie

Severus Snape is without a dought the deepest most complex character in Harry Potter. His relationship with Harry was quite complicated in the sense that he had a very difficult past with both Harry's parents. On the one hand he was deeply in love with his mother, but on the other hand he absolutaly LOATHED his father. This resulted in the awkward difficult relationship the two of them had throught the books. Snape cared about Harry, but only to the point where he wanted to make sure his physical being was protected, and that he was alive and well. He cared about this, because his love for...
