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?

110. When people lose the love of their lives in Harry Potter, they don't instantly jump to suicide as a solution.

120. What was the point in giving the Volturi all these superhuman powers when they just decide to talk their way out of things?
