So I have heard/read a LOT of arguments over this topic, and I find it ridiculous. Here are some reasons why they can't be compared with each other:
1- Writing styles. Rowling writes in a descriptive third-person, whereas Meyer writes in a first-person account of a seventeen year old girl. You can't expect Bella to talk like a professional poet of some sort, I doubt many average teenage girls do that.
2- Plot. Harry Potter is mainly about wizards and fighting. Twilight is about Vampires and romance... Totally the same (Major burning sarcasm).
3- Audience. Harry Potter is aimed for children. Before the whole nagging about "It's suitable for everyone" You are liars! Babies cannot read, toddlers cannot read and so many others cannot read. Don't lie. Twilight is mainly aimed at teenagers and young adults.
4- Characters. None of them are alike, not a thing in common. They are all unique in their own ways.
5- Message. Twilight is basically a message of love in all forms (diversity love?). Harry Potter is about friendship.
These are a few of so many reasons why they can't actually be compared. They are too different. If anyone has any more points, please reply. It shall be fun to attempt some kind of bridges being built between the fans. It would be nice to be friendly with each other, and have kind discussions about the books/movies together.

-harry’s hormones went overdrive when he saw this spankin’ hot qurl from the ravenclaw quidditch team.
-being the teenage boy he is, he didn’t make a move until it was the yule ball and it turns out that this d00d cedric asked her out.
-then this d00d died and cho was all “bawwww cedric” but somehow she managed to get over all that because of harry’s eternal glory the strategically placed mistletoe. so they kissed.
-then they dated on valentine’s day in hogsmeade and cho wanted to be all “baww cedric” in front of harry. but harry, being the hormone-driven infatuated teenager he is, was all ears.
-then it ended when harry said he was meeting hermione, because apparently cho’s the only one allowed to talk about someone else in their relationship.
