Just so it's clear, these aren't mine...

Reasons why Harry Potter is better:

1. Harry Potter is full of twists and turns and is unpredictable. You can guess basically everything that happens in twilight.
2. In Harry Potter, as the readers grow older, the characters mature too. Is it just me or are the main characters in twilight not aging?
3. No thesauruses were harmed in the making of Harry Potter.
4. So you say Harry Potter is not a love story? Are you saying that parents sacrificing their lives for their child is not love? Are you saying that the bond that keeps friends together forever, even through tremendous danger, is not love? Are you saying that the a person sacrificingthemselvesfor a better future is not love? What is love then?
5. Harry Potter is not an 104-year-old sparkling pedophile.
6. Herry Pottur fanz dont spel liek tihs.
7. J.K.R invented a whole new magical world, unlike S.M, who threw unoriginal mythical characters into the real world.
8. People don't have to worry about killing other people because of the way they smell in Harry Potter.
9. Quidditch. Need I say any more?
10. Harry had it WAY worse than Bella, but he didn't decide to kick the bucket and jump off a cliff, did he?
11. J.K.R can write.
12. Women in Harry Potter areindependentand strong, unlike Bella who can't think for how many months and has to use a person to gain back slight happiness.
13. J.K.R doesn't waste paper by placing only the names of months on how many pages.
14. Harry Potter is not a stalker.
15. Nor does he approve of abusive relationships.
16. No one in Harry Potter whines as much as Bella. Thank goodness.
17. Harry Potter has character development.
18. Robert Pattinson prefers Harry Potter.

29. Harry Potter has more than 1 plot-line running at once.
30. There are reasons why the evil people in Harry Potter.

42. People don't fall in love with their previous love interest's child.

53. You can't read twilight 5 times without noticing a lot of mistakes and over-used points. Harry Potter seems to get more and more exciting the more you read it.
54. J.K.R creates a whole new amazing magical world. S.M takes ideas from other authors and pretends its original.

57. Twilight is a (not even) okay romance series, but Harry Potter lives in people's hearts and has made a great impact on people's lives.

66. No one in Harry Potter falls in love with their crush/lover/boyfriend/girlfriend's CHILD!
67. Harry Potter promotes courage, perseverance, the TRUE love of friends, family etc., and a WHOLE lot more! Twilight promotes teenage pregnancy and marriage + suicidal thoughts after rejection.

69. Harry doesn't go on and on about how perfect Ginny's body is.
70. Potter fans know how to spell.

74. It took years of hard work and struggle to get where J.K.R is today...not 3 months as a suburban house-wife dreaming about sparkly vampires.
75. At least 'Albus Severus' can be pronounced.
76. Oh and 'Renesmee Carlie Cullen'? Even Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore laughs in his grave.
77. There are actual parental figures in Harry Potter. Absentee adults with the brain mentalities of a 10 year old don't count.
78. Harry Potter fans don't need anger management.
79. Look up 'plot' after 'consistency'.
80. Harry Potter promotes friendship and equality while Twilight promotes changing yourself to fit in.
81. None of the characters in Harry Potter are mindless freaks that are there just for the sake of being there.
82. All of the characters in Harry Potter have small flaws that makethemselves their own unique individuals.
83. Being pale and sparkly are not legitimate character flaws.
84. Abstaining from eating your patients does not make you noble or wise. Therole-modelof the century award goes to Dumbledore.
85. There was a hot debate about whether or not Snape was evil. If S.M had wrote about him, we would've known since his first appearance - his eyes would've been red.
86. The most frightening character in Harry Potter is not a little girl that can pretend to inflict pain on you.
87. Harry's name does not mean 'Beautiful Swan'. Enough said.
88. Even the most obscure Weasleys are better developed than the Cullens....and they're supposed to be the main characters.
89. Harry is more devoted to the parents he has never really met than Bella is to her mother and father that she supposedly 'loves'.

97. S.M took bits of mythology and ruined it.
98. Harry doesn't sneak into Ginny's room and watch her sleep.
99. Almost all good people in Twilight are beautiful, and the bad people ugly. Rubbish!
100. Harry Potter fans can find 100 legitimate reasons why Harry Potter is better. And more.
101. Harry and Ginny don't have a twisted, controlled, abusive relationship.
102. And being turned into a vampire rocks, because the uncontrollable urge to kill and feed on humans isn't hard to resist, as long as you're Bella.
103. Enemies work together in the last two books. Harry and Voldemort would never work together.
104. Bella has prophetic dreams for no apparent reason. At least we know why Harry has them.
105. Bella is a damsel in distress. The women in Harry Potter can fend off an attack for themselves.
106. Rosalie grew up in New York during the great depression. Her father allowed her family to have a middle-class life because he worked at a bank. S.M didn't realize the entire problem with the great depression was the all the banks failed. She taught thousands of people wrong facts.
107. The Quileutes are an actual tribe that S.M chose to put them in the books because they 'live near forks'. She made mythology for real people.
108. Bella is disturbed when Jacob falls in love with her daughter, but managed to keep in control of herself. Jacob nicknames her child 'Nessie' and she tries to kill him. There is something wrong with her.
109. Bella might have read all the classics, but Hermione could beat her in any test.
110. When people lose the love of their lives in Harry Potter, they don't instantly jump to suicide as a solution.
111. Harry Potter is about REAL love. Hot make-out sessions with vampires don't compare to a man sacrificing his life to the dead love-of-his-life's son.
112. Harry Potter has REAL humour. Not cheesy dark jokes about how different someone is.
113. Bellatrix might have been obsessed with Voldemort, but she wasn't incompetent and she could walk without tripping over her own feet.
114. The Weasley Twins. What more do I have to say?
115. The actors in Harry Potter have more than one facial expression.
116. Bella is so Mary Sue, its like S.M did it on purpose!
117. Dumbledore is gay. This is like a great triumph to the gay community, and a very noble and brave thing for J.K.R to say.
118. It took time for Hermione and Ron (And Harry and Ginny) to fall in love. Hermione didn't just glance at Ron and instantly form an obsession with him.
119. What was the point in rambling on about 'Victoria' then producing a 'fight' in Eclipse as poor and pathetic as it was?
120. What was the point in giving the Volturi all these superhuman powers when they just decide to talk their way out of things?
121. The Death Eaters would easily destroy the Volturi. (Yes, face it, although they are evil, they kill their target rather than running away from it.
122. I would like to see what would happen if someone stole S.M's thesaurus...
123. Harry doesn't get his friends to kidnap Ginny while he goes away.
124. Ginny doesn't almost faint when Harry kisses her.
125. Harry can't always save everyone from fatal experiences.
126. Harry Potter fans seem to come up with better reasons than 'its awesum!!!111'
127. Because there's more to Harry Potter than being 'totally hawt'
128. J.K.R doesn't consistently use overly fancy words to make their readers feel smart for reading her books.
129. Harry Potter doesn't adhere to one religion...you find elements from all sorts of faith.
130. Harry Potter fans can actually for a good argument why the series is better than Twilight.
131. Harry Potter fans don't have to ACT smart. :)
132. J.K.R's flawed characters actually have flaws. Believable ones too.
133. Parodies of Twilight? Better than the actual series. Parodies of Harry Potter? The books are still better.
134. Twilight doesn't have its own totally awesome, full length, fan-made musical. :D
135. Because most people in Harry Potter have fairly normal body temperature.
136. Because Harry Potter isn't a bunch of words grouped randomly.
137. None of the guys in Harry Potter fall in freaky, stalking love with a girl because she smells nice.
138. None of the girls in Harry Potter have the whole population of the school running after them because they are 'new to school'.
139. No one in Harry Potter professes their undying love to a sparkly, albino, pedophile of a control freak stalker with abusive tendencies.
140. J.K.R uses her own ideas.
141. Harry Potter does not make a good door stop.
142. J.K.R writes books related to the series and donates the profit to charity, so by reading Harry Potter, we get a goodSamaritan feel as well.
143. Harry Potter is so deeply ingrained in its hardcore fans that we use spells without realizing we are lowly muggles. :(
144. Harry Potter has more merchandise.
145. Harry Potter turned a whole generation to reading, something the world desperately needed after the rise of video games.
146. Harry Potter has a whole adult cover thing going on because so many adults looked like big kids reading childrens fiction on the train to work.
147. Harry Potter inspired thousands of us to add our own interpretation of the books. What can you do to Twilight?
148. Harry Potter can make you cry, and no, not of unintentional laughter.
149. You are actually alert while reading Harry Potter. You can stay up all night and have no regrets because you know you have just unraveled a bit of the magic.
150. Because 150 reasons just isn't enough.
Okay so I've been hearing a whole load coming from a whole bunch of people, the majority being females, that Robert Pattison is hot. They say this like it is fact and when someone comes along and says he isn't it's like they don't get it.

They asked, "How is he not hot?" This is a more formal format of putting it, but I got a whole bunch of responses which were very retarded. Well it has to do with personal preference.

So someone's opinion might clash with another person's opinion. Like how Twilight lovers think in Twilight all the vampires really are hot. But someone else might come along...

Essay Three in my ‘What’s Wrong with Twilight’ or WWT series, is entitled “Bella is Messed Up”. We will be exploring what is wrong with Bella by examining her choices and actions. I may later test her on a psychoanalysis test.

One, she is pathetically whiny. You could open any page of a book and find one where she’s whining. TwiFans try to cover this up by pre-bookmark-ing a book at a page with a description of the setting (One of the so very few there are). She always begs Edward to turn her into a vampire, even when he blatantly refuses her pleadings every time.

Two, she is too...

I don't mean any hate towards non of the series.
I just found it seriously immature how both fans of the series blame eachother.
..................................................
I went through many sites that are Anti-Twilight
and then I started searching for Anti-HP.
Ofcourse what I have saw was mostly twilight hate.
I find it very,very useless too have this 'debate' about Twilight vs Harry Potter.

As i also read most articles from this spot I have seen that MANY people here truly HATE twilight.
There's nothing wrong with it.
The only problem is that it is invading all the sites.

Second part of my review on both of the books this fanspot is about.

Despite most arguments on how different both series are, they do have many shocking resemblances, specially in the bad message part. I hope that after reading both of this, next time a fanpick question of "Which is best" pops up, you take a minute to consider your answer.

1. If you have friends or people that care about you, there's no need for you to have skills. Just let them sacrifice themselves.
Explanation: Harry Potter prevails against all perils not because he is a skillful wizard or because he is smart. He prevails because...

I know a lot of people think the Cullen family could beat Harry, Ron and Hermione in a battle. I have read both series, and I realize that the Cullens have super speed and super strength. However, I do not think that the Cullens would stand a chance against the Trio.

Let's look back at the battle history of each...

The Cullens:
- They defeated James in the first book. However, there was only one of him and there were five of them, I believe? So that really isn't saying much.

- They defeated a band of immature vampires with no fighting skills in Eclipse. They went in knowing they would win because...

Sorcerer's Stone
Ok, a lot of ppl here think Harry Potter is lame and boring and for dorks and is like dungeons and dragons and its for nerds who like to pretend to be wizards after school. Well, those people have not read the books. Of course, I respect everyone's opinion, even if they think twilight is better. But, dont choose before you read both complete books. I mean Twilight is about two tenagers in love, but there's a catch, one of them is a hot and sexy vampire who sometimes has the urge to drink his lover's blood. That sounds cool right? Now, Harry Potter is about a young boy's battle against the evil...

Okay,first and for all,I am not a Twilight fan.But this song popped in my head and once I have a melody and words I just have to write it down.I didn't plan this.Well,despite the fact that I don't like Twilight,I still think it's a good song. (I hope I don't sound arrogant now)Please read it and let me know what you think about it :) Even if you think it's crap.


I got it all under control
I can keep myself together
I’m not gonna break down
I know this is for the better
I know I must let you leave
But I’m not gonna stop these tears
I know I must let you walk away
But my heart will break anyway

‘Cause...

Before you read anything: I happen to enjoy both HP AND T. I also happen to think HP is a billion times better. This is just my opinion. No need to freak out about this article. I am NOT trying to undermine T fans' opinions, I am just stating why I (and at least a few others) get annoyed with T fans.

So most of the posts on here have to do with of course, Harry Potter vs Twilight. But after skimming through comments, I found a shocking amount of crazy responses from twilight fans. This got me thinking. Maybe the reason this fued has grown so large is not because of the question: Is Harry Better,...

Ok, time for the other side of the story, in other words, time for another interview with a Twilight “hater”. Her name is Izabella, aka: venvargie! Let’s get started!

Could you introduce yourself please!

Hah, okay well I'm Izabella. But I usually go by Ven on the interwebz. I'm turning 16 in a few months and I don't watch a lot of TV so I don't have a favorite show xD.

What is it that you hate about Twilight?

Well, I hate the sparkling thing the most. Growing up, I watched all kinda of scary vampire movies with my older brother and they were always the kind that died in the light and vanted...

Heellooooo!!!! I'm feeling rather random today so I thought I'd take a leaf out of Emma's rather large, leather bound book and do a stupid Harry Potter quiz. It's not actually a story, just a random collection of letters put together to form a random collection of words which will, in turn, provide a random collection of potentially amusing sentences. So, enjoy my little freaks!!!
Beware: If you have no sense of humour: DO NOT ENTER!!!
PS. I decided to post this on this spot as well as the HP one because everyone seems so mad at the opposition so I thought they might need a laugh :)

The "jejemon" mania is spreading in my country like mad.

I am a Filipino and Im getting really upset because almost half of the 'jejemon' population is in my country. Even my friends greet me through text messages '.,inN DisZ qKinD oFv m4nN3Rr.,' and Im now confused if they're simply Twihards or just some bunch of lunatics. I am also sad because when I search what 'jejemon' means it always come up with explanations that involve my country, am I gonna deny that I am a Filipino? will I curse them all because they're all proud of it? will I beg them to stop the stupidity? I know my options will...

New Moon Review

“…she [Stephanie Meyer] can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good…” ~ Stephen King

And frankly, I agree. Stephanie Meyer, author of the Twilight series, has gotten her share of criticism, but also many undeserved raving fans. I’m going to take a closer look at her second book in this series, New Moon.
New Moon Is quite possibly the just all-around worst book in the series, and I will tell you why.

One, Edward leaves Bella, and she turns into a zombie-like wreck. She abandons all of her friends, instead focusing what little personality she has on hatred for Edward...

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...
