Okay. I know what you are all thinking. Oh no not another Harry Potter vs. Twilight article but yes I am making one because I can. I just want my opinion to be heard. So first off let me list the reasons why children, teens and adults can love Harry Potter and the good messages that Harry Potter gets across. Harry Potter first of all teaches people about the very special bond between people called friendship. Harry, Hermione and Ron are a perfect example of friendship. They are all with Harry until the very end like they promised. They risk their lives for each other and even though they fight,...

Okay, firstly, I’ve no intention of hurting the Twilight fans here. I’m just a fiercely opinionated person, and some of the things I say might end up sounding rude. So please keep in mind that I really don’t mean anything rude that I might say in the article. Read on :)

Many people say that Twilight is well written. When I ask the said people why they think so, most of them invariably refer to the “big words” in Twilight.
Now, if using big words makes a book good, an ape with a thesaurus can write a completely fabulous novel. Sadly, this isn’t the case: the poor apes are doomed for...

First off, one of my best friends refuses to read Harry Potter because it's a fantasy. You probably said the exact same thing. I did too.

Just to clear this up, I'm going to explain this for you. All 7 books more or less have the same goal in mind. Harry's parents were murdered by Voldemort in Godric's Hollow when Harry was 1. Until the age of 11, he believed it was only a car crash. He had no idea that he was famous for the supposed "death" of Voldemort. That is, until Hagrid comes to tell him that he is indeed a wizard.

In his first year, the main plot, more or less, is about Harry trying...

Okay, so i was getting pretty sick of answering so many questions about the same thing, and im sure others are/were too, so i just thought that it would be better for everyone to add their opinion to this thing, cos i guess it just makes life easier, and because you can get LOADS of replies/answers on this. So yeah, enjoy.






My Answer:
In my opinion, Harry Potter is better, and i prefer it more than Twilight, because i feel as if i can relate to the characters more. Also, i feel as if Twilight doesn't really have a plot, compared to Harry Potter. (There is more, but i cba to write anymore atm, haha)
I'll admit, I have a pretty diverse bookshelf. I have the Harry Potter Complete Series box set next to my Twilight books. People who burn/flame either book are either A. extraordinarily biased or B. have a legitimate reason and may actually have something intelligent to say. To find out what people thought, I decided to ask people who surrounded me at school what their opinions were. If you're interested, read on...

I took a survey of my fellow female students to see what they thought at my middle school (what possessed me to do so, I cannot say), and many of the answers I heard were something...

-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.

1.The Characters are more likeable.
4.Even the villans are likeable.

4.Harry Potter has Bellatrix Lestrange where vas Twilight only has Isabella Swan.
5.The villans actually seem thretning unlike the Volturi.
6.The cast seems friendlier.
7.The relatonships in Harry Potter are taken one step at a time.

9.Harry Potter shows real life issues such as; the loss of someone dear to you, child neglect, (the dursleys) and raceism....

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...

I thought this would be fun!Guess what!?What if I had an interview with J.K. Rowling and Stephanie Meyer together!This is the fake interview with me,J.K. Rowling,and Stephanie Meyer:
----------------------
Me:Welcome,Stephanie.Welcome,J.K.
Rowling:Hello.
Meyer:Hi.
M:Are you ready for the interview?
R:Yeah,Stephanie.
Stephanie:Yes.
M:Ok,since you both write fiction-how did you come up with the books?
S.M.:It was a dream,the meadow scene and I woke up and I'm like,"How did they get their?How did they fall in love?WHat would happen,next?"I jumped out of bed and sat down and started writing.Going,"I can't...

First, let me get this straight: I'm not a fan of Twilight. In fact, I hate it. But I can see why everyone's so hyped up about it.

You see, I've recently been introduced to a new theory- The Twelve-Year-Old girl theory. It's mostly used in music, like for popular icons like Hannah Montana, Justin Bieber, the Jonas Brothers, but Twilight also fits into this catagory.

What is the Twelve-Year-Old girl theory, you might ask? Well, let's just look at people at the age of twelve first. When you turn twelve, you're on the thin line between childhood and the teen years. You're young and vulnerable,...

This is an answer to a question posted by coolbek. If you read it, please feel free to provide constructive criticism. However, please don't post hateful comments without backing up your opinion - it just makes you look foolish.

These are my reasons as to why people like Harry Potter more than Edward Cullen:

1. Harry has flaws - anger, sometimes arrogance and a few more. These flaws make Harry a character with depth, and also a character that we can relate to. Nobody can be perfect in the real world – our flaws are what make us human. The saying “Perfection…is apt to be dull” explains...

Alright,I don't know where to begin,I guess I already begin.

I can't believe I've taken months to conclude that I was being something humiliating,nasty and dumb for those past months.I loved Harry Potter with all my heart,its the very first novel I would not eat to have it.I used to like Twilight too when I watched the movie in the first place.

However,its pretty obnoxious when media started to compare my most favorite book with a simple love story like Twilight-no offenses,just how I used to think.That's why I joined this site,to prove that all the "move on Harry Potter.." things was wrong.
'Harry...

Ah well, in the name of justice now I will take it a little bit against Harry Potter. For starters I will only mention consistency errors or plot mistakes. Scientific and lore mistakes will be included later. HEY! They are 7 very long books, and unlike Twilight were mistakes were easy to spot amongst the constant lovey-dovey of Bella and Edward, Harry Potter has a lot of information going around. Now then.

1)Where did Voldemort stick his wand?
Explanation: Yeah the title doesn't give a very nice image. But seriously. Voldemort went on a solo mission to kill the Potters and their baby. Due to...

Severus Snape is without a dought the deepest most complex character in Harry Potter. His relationship with Harry was quite complicated in the sense that he had a very difficult past with both Harry's parents. On the one hand he was deeply in love with his mother, but on the other hand he absolutaly LOATHED his father. This resulted in the awkward difficult relationship the two of them had throught the books. Snape cared about Harry, but only to the point where he wanted to make sure his physical being was protected, and that he was alive and well. He cared about this, because his love for...

"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...

Like a lot of other Antis, I was at first a Twilight fan.

I got into reading when I was 8 years old. First real book I have read was Harry Potter. Since than, I have read loads of fiction - romance, science fiction, fantasy, historical novels...
I liked some of them and disleked others. With years, I learnd to tell why and found my favorites - fantasy novels.

My friend heard of upcoming Twilight movie, so she decided to read it. She recomended the book to me, so I said: "Heck, why not, it sounds interesing." I borrowed it from school library and read it. I admit, I thought it was great, and I...

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...
