"Why compare Harry Potter and Twilight? Why would you compare such different things?" are two questions this spot has come across often. And to be honest, it irritates the living crap out of me when people ask this.
The media plays a role in things and this debate is no different. On the cover of Breaking Dawn there is a quote from USA Today saying "Move over Harry Potter".(Newsflash, we're not going anywhere) Now, don't tell me that doesn't anger you/ you wouldn't feel angry if you were a Harry Potter fan. "Stephanie Meyer is the new J.K.Rowling." It really pisses me off when people say this because J.K. Rowling spent so much time working on these books and all Meyer did was have a wet dream.
Another reason is that people always want to have the best of something. Like,(for lack of a better example) Lindsey Lohan vs Hillary Duff. If you sided with one you did it because you thought one was better than the other. Look, both books have topped the charts in bestsellers so comparison are going to happen. So don't act all surprised when it does.
Some fans also find similarities between the two series. Like the Jacob/Bella/Edward love triangle seemed very similar to the Severus/Lily/James love triangle. There are also similar names such as James, Bella, Charlie, and Alice. Plagiarism isn't right, kids.
Another reason that there are so many Harry Potter/Twilight debates are the actors. There are now two actors between Harry Potter and Twilight. Robert Pattinson played Cedric Diggory and now plays Edward Cullen in Twilight. Jamie Campbell Bower plays Caius in Twilight and Grindelwald in Harry Potter. So because of these bridges in the series they're open to joking.
But one major thing that always adds fuel to the fire are the fans. For the longest time, the media constantly showed crazed kids and teens waiting for movies or books from the Harry Potter fans and when Twilight came out they showed the same thing... Just with more girls and less age range. And we were branded with "Potheads" while the "Twihards" were literally attacking people saying that Twilight was the best book ever.
So it all comes down to who thinks who is better. Really, it's just He said She said. But it's something we're always going to be living with so get used to it.
*PS I will give major props if anyone can find the link to webpage on a twilight sucks website of police reports on Twilight fans.

These are tattoos of girls who are over-the-top obsessed about Twilight. Click on the links to see them.

Are these people kidding themselves? The worst is the Edward Cullen/Robert Pattinson one. Ugh!
I was horrified by looking at them. It's one thing to be a part of a fad but it's a whole different thing to make that fad a part of your body.
What is the world coming to? Tomorrow when these girls go to get these horrors removed they'll probably be spending a lot more than they spent paying to get it done.

Well i think that it's quite obvious that HARRY POTTER has more fans than twilight. Cause some people might not of heard of twilight before. I also think that people would like HARRY POTTER better because....
there is more action and killing
some people might like wizards better
the weasley brothers are funny
I think people would like TWILIGHT because....
there is more love
some people might like vampires better
it's a great story
I don't have a favourite because i love HARRY POTTER and i love TWILIGHT.HARRY POTTER and TWILIGHT are amazing.
