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.

Is it just me, or does it seem like most of the Twilight fans feel that they have to write in capitol letters to get their points across? Personally i find it really annoying.
It's also a fact that if you write in capitol letters IT TAKES LONGER FOR THE BRAIN TO PROCESS THE INFORMATION and therefore takes longer to read. Originally all the road signs (In England anyway) were written in capitol letters, until they were redone and someone found that smaller case letters were quicker to read. So they changed it.
So next time you feel like shouting because your book sucks, don't write in capitols, but put...
*shouting*... at the begining of your speech.
Thank you. That is all.
