1.Ginny is a perfect character (“Mary Sue”), which Rowling hides by calling her temperamental.
2. Being temperamental is not a flaw if everyone thinks it’s cute and adorable and it gets you a boyfriend.
3. NOBODY can do anything productive without magic.
4. Ginny runs after a train like an idiot even though this isn’t her first time watching the train leave with her brothers. Obviously she’s watch the train leave EVERY SINGLE YEAR OF HER LIFE.
5. Rowling is living out her own fantasies through Hermione, who is clearly herself.
6. The books aren’t well written, just because you make up a few words and use Latin for spells, like every other book about magic in history, doesn’t make it good writing.
7. All the Hogwarts rules Rowling sets for criteria are obviously set up to be broken by the end of the series.
8. Not only that, she breaks rules set by more esteemed authors.
9. The world population will grow stupid because all kids who read this book will think they are wizards and won’t take their real education seriously while they wait for their Hogwarts letter to come until they are old. And they’ll never come.
10. Harry almost dies fifty thousand times, but someone always saves him. This is boring.
11. Lily is too perfect and has no flaws either. Even dead mothers should have flaws besides having a baby with a jerk.
12. The reason the books became so popular is because Harry doesn’t have to try hard to learn any skills and everyone wants their life to be that easy.
13. If Harry is so ‘awkward’, why do so many wizards admire him before he even meets them?
14. Rowling portrays weak men as failures, effeminate, and generally lacking the attributes of true masculinity, playing into stereotypes that both feminists and masculist alike have benn fighting against for years.
15. Isn’t it convenient that Harry always manages to sneak out of his dorm at all hours of the night without many consequences? Real schools aren’t like that.
16. Lack of interesting character development.
17. Ginny is a useless, whining, doll that suddenly has become the idol for girls everywhere.
18. People say that Harry Potter is better than everything in the world. Guess what? WRONG.
19. Harry is extremely possessive, border-line abusive, and boring as anything.
20. It’s too cliché.
21. This book contains no sex, so it’s not really a adventure novel.
22. Read The Story of King Arthur and His Knights- That’s a wizard, not those average people with wands that Rowling has created.
23. You don’t have to throw out a cliché every two pages, we know all “love is powerful” and “friendship is important”.
24. Harry reflects upon herself through the entire novel to tell important plot developments. Hey Rowling, ever heard of “Show, don’t tell”?
25. She never uses the word hermit in the entire book series, and it’s supposedly about wizards.
26. Her wizards play Quidditch. Enough said.
27. Rowling wrote “[The room] was so crammed with objects that it was difficult to see how anybody could navigate their way across it …” when she should have wrote “[The room] was so crammed with objects that it was difficult to see how anybody could navigate [his or her] way across it …”
28. There is too much face touching.
29. It’s predictable, and childish.
30. We read the entire series just to laugh at the stupidity of it.
31. Rowling can’t think of original names. She gets names from the dictionary and those don’t count.
32. Wizards can’t catch a tiny ball flying at the speed of light in their mouth without it shooting through the back of their throat and killing them. SPOILER
33. Quidditch was just a disgrace.
34. People think Rowling is the best writer ever.
35. The plot drags on forever, when it really could have been completed in three books.
36. Wow, yet another ‘original’ plot of vengeance.
37. Why is it called the Harry Potter Series if only one character is names Harry Potter?
38. It’s too easy to mock. Go on Youtube, how many mocks on Harry Potter do you see?
39. They use a drug reference in a book written for ten-year-olds. Date rape love potions, anyone?
40. JK Rowling creates some interesting characters ie: Merope and Cedric. She then ignores them, and gives them no development.
41. Every Other 9gag post is about Harry Potter. EVERY OTHER ONE.
42. Fangirls are so blinded by their love for Harry that they don’t realize the book is terrible.
43. Harold Bloom agrees that "Rowling's mind is so governed by clichés and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing."
44. It’s stupid.
45. Herminoe.
46. Ginny is all the guy’s beards.
47. Rowling wrote seven books about nothing, really.
48. Straight men play with “wooded sticks”?
49. It’s teeming with grammatical errors.
50. Harry Potter means ruler of trades, which practically means good at everything. That’s horribly cheesy.
51. Harry has black hair; crows like black things.
52. Do any guys actually like Harry Potter?
53. If the first chapter of your book rely on the mystery of a character’s identity, don’t slap “Harry Potter thinks he is an ordinary boy celebrating his 11th birthday, but he is far from wrong. A giant named Hagrid appears, and gives Harry the all important news. He is a wizard” on the back cover.
54. Times names are mentioned

The only reason Ginny becomes “important”t to us is because she dates Harry.
55. They fall in love way too quickly and it seems fake because no one falls in love instantly, especially teenagers.
56. The only reason Harry and Ginny love each other because she good at sports good and he’s famous. There’s no other given reason why.
57. It’s just not healthy to teach young girls that True Love involves a guy ignoring you forever.
58. Harry wears glasses. We get it.
59. He had only been in Hogwarts for 10 minutes and he already has a reputation.
60. There’s something disturbing about Dumbledore watching kids and teenagers all the time.
61. All Harry Potter fans are insane, proved by several responses to criticism such as… “adamlambert_rox? I'm TALKING TO YA! You're an idiot. Go to **** **** *** *** * ** * ** * ** ** * *********** LOL! BTW, did you notice that the funny images of Twilight are better than the saga combined? Go and kill yourself, just like your role model, Bella.”
62. And this… “Lauracullen, go look at your other completely pointless post. Look at how many reasons there are. AND WE'RE NOT EVEN FINISHED! You lost... go drown yourself.”
63. And this… “Actually i_love_edward45, i wish you wouldn't say that about ppls opinions. it's not fair at all and i know what king_wa said is mean but that's a really stupid thing to say to ppl especially since i'm about to send you a message saying what a bitch you are for saying that about hermione. Get fuked you loser, you got nothing better to do than critisize hermione then how about you jump up your own ass and die.”
64. Isn’t funny how Harry Potter fans can’t spell and use proper capitalization? By the way,61, 62, and 63 are real quotes.
65. The reason Harry couldn’t learn occlumacy well was because he doesn’t have a mind.
66. T. Pain would totally win Hermione’s heart and beat up Ron because he’s on a boat.
67. Herminoe has to manipulate time to get to her classes.
68. We applaud JK Rowling, as she’s got to be a rich woman by now, having found her forte in the insane cult of teenage girls who go rabid over her writings.
69. The good side vs. The bad side (isn’t that a Facebook application and such a original idea?)
70. There’s nothing worse than a fan girl going insane over a fictional guy. It’s rather pathetic actually, so, um, yeah, get a life and keep reading those books, chickies.
71. This book was not worth the paper on which it was printed.
72. Ginny has no goals and no future, her life revolves around Harry.
73. WWJHPFD: What Would a Judgmental Harry Potter Fan Do? Answer: attempt to attack with the ‘cool magical powers’ they gained from reading the series. Awesome!
74. Even if you like the book, it doesn’t live up to its hype.
75. Draco is a good WILF, that’s it.
76. “I spent the first half of my 11th birthday sitting by the post box waiting for that Hogwarts acceptance letter, then the second half crying because it hadn’t come. I even forced my parents to take me to Kings Cross on september 1st that year with the hope that the letter just got lost and I would just walk through the barrier to prove I was a witch, it didn’t work.” – quoted from dearmsrowling on tumblr.
77. Thirteen years difference = pedophile. (Lupin and tonks)
78. It’s a co-dependent relationship stripped down to the bare essentials. Girl: “I want to date James.” Boy: “If you leave me, I will live alone forever and join this group of people who want to kill you.”
79. Jk Rowling must really be into pedophilia: first Ginny is underage and makes out with other underage boys, now Harry is underage and kisses Cho, who’s also underage? SPOILER.
80. New hot couple name for Harry and Ginny = Hinny
81. You may think Harry Potter is smart and fast, but Chuck Norris could take him.
82. Ginny’s only deep thoughts are, ‘I play Quidditch! I know Harry! My brothers are virgin losers!’
83. The only reason I kept reading was to see if Harry could redeem himself by getting over himself.
84. Harry, who didn’t abuse Hermione and was nice to her, was ditched and she chose Ron. Hmm, masochistic much?
85. Ms. Rowling writes the way I did when I was twelve years old, doodling in my journal.
86. “It would have been much better if Harry and Ron discovered they were gay: no dances, no whiny Ginny or Hermione. Amen to that.”
87. Many people have enjoyed the making of this, many have helped with it too…in other words lots of people hate Harry Potter.
88. You are allowed to have your own opinion, just like we are allowed to have ours. Get over it. Harry Potter fans don’t seem to understand that though and attack at the mention of flaw in the book.
89. Light Yagami doesn’t approve of Harry Potter so neither should you.
90. “Cause it’s dumb.” – Random Person on the Street
91. “It’s annoying as hell.” – Random Person on the Street #2
92. Martin Luther would not have not have approved if the book was written during his lifetime.
93. Edward could beat Harry Potter any day with his vampire powers.
94. It’s offensive to the entire human race, both male and female.
95. The Power Rangers could beat The Trio. THE FREAKING POWERRANGERS

First of all, this is MY opinion. If you don't agree, that's fine. If you do, well great! So here I go.

Bella is a shallow bitch. Why? Well, Edward looks at Bella and thinks "she smells nice" Bella looks at Edward and thinks "OMG He's so hot!" So they're in love. Sorry, I mean they are in lust. It's not love! It's just they enjoy being in love. Bella would date Santa Clause if he was hot!
And then there's the fact when Edward leaves Bella, she goes straight for Jacob who is the second hottest guy in town after moping for four fricken months! I mean moping for 4 weeks is ok. But 4 months...

11 Ways to Use Harry Potter to Annoy a Twilight Fan
Guaranteed to start a shouting match of fantastic proportions...


1. Steal their copy of Twilight and replace it with one of your Harry Potter books in a Twilight dust jacket.

2. Tell them that Edward is a "hand-me-down" because the Twilight movies got him after the Harry Potter movies were finished with him.

3. List other "hand-me-downs" from the books, like the last names of Black and Clearwater...

4. State that you think Edward would be hotter if he had a lightning scar on his forehead.

5. "Accidentally"...

Hello, everyone. It's me, teamsalvatore. (Salvy)

So this club is Potter vs. Twilight, Rowling vs. Meyer, Wizards vs. Vampires. I, personally, my opinion, think that Twilight is better than Harry Potter. BUT I think that there are some redundant things in Twilight. And remember, these are ust my opinions:

-Bella's weakness; She's helpless, and turning girls everywhere into weak, spineless idiots. She's making girls everywhere think they need a guy like Edward to protect them.
-Edward's obvious self-hate; He's a non-cutting emo, for crying out loud! A wannabe! We get it, Eddy, you don't like yourself....

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,...

    Ok, well I’m getting pretty tired of people saying that Bella and Edward’s relationship is love. It’s not. It’s just lust. Let’s look at the clues:
-She sees him and thinks he’s gorgeous.
-He likes her smell.
-He’s a vampire.
    Now, before I start writing about these points, I would like to compare the relationship to that of Snape and Lily. Yes, they have never gone out but they didn’t need to. Snape met Lily when they were little. He probably thought she was pretty and developed a crush on her which bloomed into love. When Snape found...

Realised the points have little to do with plot, thus changed the title to errors.

My apologise to Twilight fans if I'm a little too harsh, but I have reread the books like twice this month and it was a little exasperating. Not to worry, I'm currently rereading Harry Potter, so a plothole list on it will be added soon =)

Ok, let's get started:

1.A hundred years of...nothingness?
Explanation: I don't expect science fiction books to be scientifically accurate. But if you plan your main character to live 100 years studying in prep forever at the age of 17, make the whole book plausible. No, just saying...

I made a list of combined and possible plot holes about Harry Potter. Some of them I came up with myself, and some of them I got from different places online. If you can give explanation answering the questions ,do it please.
I purposely put in a few really really picky question because there are a lot of articles about Twilight like this, so I want to see how Harry Potter fans respond to the ridiculously picks questions. I'm not going to tell you which ones they are, but they should be easy to pick out.

95 Reasons Why Twilight Sucks
Opinion by BedIntruder posted 4 hours ago


1. Bella is a perfect character (“Mary Sue”), which Meyer hides by calling her clumsy.
2. Being clumsy is not a flaw if Edward always catches her.
3. She can’t do anything without Edward.
4. And when he leaves she attempts to commit suicide.
5. Meyer is living out her own fantasies by writing about Bella, who is clearly herself.
6. The books aren’t well written, just because every other word is a fancy adjective doesn’t make it good writing.
7. All the rules Meyer sets for being a vampire are broken by the end of the...

116. "BTW Twilight is the bestest film ever" I get really frusterated when soomebody compares the films instead off the movies. And whats worse is that you arent giving any reasons. "Stop hating, pick-up Twilight, actually read it and you will love it and stop hating Twilight". Has it ever occurred to you that twilight haters have read the whole series? Like me? "HP is all around boring and it is made for younger children". I dont understand how Harry Potter can be so boring. Maybe you didnt keep up with the amount of action and romance and magic and the mystery. Or maybe you didnt read...

So, once there was this girl - well, actually that girl still is - but anyway, this girl who we'll call Emma, for the purposes of now. (Well, actually, we'll call her that because it's her name. But you get the point.)

Around two, two and a half years ago, when Emma was in sixth grade, one of her friends - let's call her K, if she must have a name - was reading a book that looked rather interesting. It was black, with a shiny hard cover, and had an apple on the front. It was called Houkutus, which translates to Temptation. Emma liked the name and thought it might prove an interesting read, but...

I discovered these song spoofs in my writing folder from my "Uber-Anti" stage, and I decided to share it with you guys, for the sake of nostalgia and whatnot.

Dumb Isabella (spoof on Umbrella by Rihanna)-

You wanna be, a sparkly Meyer-pire like me
Maybe in your dreams, but never in reality
Until you agree, to take my hand and marry me
And that's when you’ll want me there
to turn you into a vampire
Because

[Chorus]
You’re a stupid Sue who wants us together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your bitch
Took an oath I regret, you crazy witch
Now it's raining more than ever
But we’re...

Well I've been writing a little fanfic recently and I realized that when I write fanfic, I mostly let my character's handle the plot. Whatever happens to pop in my head at the time, and doesn't go completely against the overall story line, gets put in the fanfic.
But Smeyer says that she wrote Twilight by just "letting her characters handle the plot". There by making it seem a lot like how, not only I, but other people, write fan fiction.
I decided to look up some reasons of what makes a good fan fiction:
"1. Choose the anime/manga/book/video game/movie you want your fan-fic to be about." Vampire's...

Okay, my friend and I go to a school that has a thing called 'Lit Circles'. There's a list of books, and Twilight is on there, but not Harry Potter. My friend thought this was totally wrong, and wrote a super long persuasive essay to our English teacher about it. This was all hers, and I can't take credit for how awesome it is :)

Why Twilight Should Be Replaced by Harry Potter in Lit Circles

    Two books sit on the shelf in front of you; on the cover of the first, you see two pale hands holding a deep red apple. The second features a young boy on a broomstick, in midair as...
