1. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
In Twilight, you see Bella Swan, a plain teen girl who is obsessed with Edward Cullen, the local stalker. In Breaking Dawn, you see Bella Cullen, a plain teen vampire who is obsessed with the local stalker, Edward Cullen. Bella is practically the same in every book. Same with Eddy. In Harry Potter you see Harry, a young boy who just found out he's a wizard. In the Deathly Hallows, you see Harry, a teenage boy who is destined to defeat the Dark Lord.
2 PERFECTION
Bella is perfect. Meyer tries to hide this by saying she's clumsy and "plain" but, tell me, why does everyone at school fall for a plain, clumsy girl? Hermione, Ron, and Harry are far from perfect (though I have to admit Harry is a bit of a Gary-Stu, but not as much as Edward) Every 3 pages Meyer has to describe how pretty Edward is.
3. WRITING
Twilight uses too many "big words". Seriously though, I don't think many kids can read Twilight without looking up at least ONE word in the dictionary. Thesaurus Rape. Harry Potter uses "big words" too, but not as often as Twilight does.
4. FANS
Honestly, I can't blame Twilight for this one. They have a HUGE fanbase of screaming teens just begging to touch Taylor Lautner or Robert Pattinson. And they are taking over the Hunger Games. D: Remember "Team Edward" and "Team Jacob"? Well, now there's "Team Peeta" and "Team Gale". Just no. I have to say though, I've also seen some pretty crazy HP fans too.
5. LOVE TRIANGLE
Forced Love Triangle. Jacob is friends with Bella, but not extremely close. Edward comes. Suddenly, Jacob now loves Bella too (oh noes!) even though Bella specifically tells him that it will ALWAYS be Edward. Then Jacob gets suuuuuuuuper pissed, Bella and Eddy have a baby, and Jacob "imprints" on it. Just gross.
I could write more, but I'm really lazy.
