So, you like Harry Potter? What about Twilight?
I've read (and watched) them both.
When I was twelve I picked up a paper back cover of "Twilight" at the airport for something to read on my plane ride home. I did become quite infatuated with the series, tearing through the second, third and fourth books. I went on this fan club on my old account (which I have long since abandoned) and talked trash about Harry Potter, and talked about how wonderful Twilight was. I talked about Twilight like it was my Bible, and mocked Harry Potter (which I knew next to nothing about). However, when I was thirteen, I picked up Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone, just to see what all of the fuss was about. I immediately fell in love with the series, staying up all hours of the night just to find out what would happen next. I began to realize how flat and shapeless the storyline of the Twilight Saga really was. It amazed me, time and time again how much foreshadowing was spread through out the whole Harry Potter series, and how predictable Twilight was. I saw the depth in every aspect of Harry Potter, aspects that Twilight lacked. My Twihard phase was snuffed out after reading book one of Harry Potter (BELIEVE ME. I was a Twilight addict, the kind they make fun of on "Vampires Suck") and I can say that I won't ever reach for the black and red volumes of Twilight again.

Now, i have to admit i love both series! I'd say harry potter is unisex and appropriate for all ages, whilst twilight adresses mainly to teenage girls. HP talks about friendship and love, while twilight is more romantic! Also, hp gives lessons of life, although maybe in some cases, i would prefer reading twilight.
Finally, They are both written by two very talented and imaginative writers, j.k rowling and stephenie meyer. They wrote these books to give teens (and not only) inspiration and time of happiness. So, if you don't like one of these two series, don't blame them! We can't all have the same tastes!
