Why HP fans are annoyed by Twilight fans.

posted by smilesalot

Before you read anything: I happen to enjoy both HP AND T. I also happen to think HP is a billion times better. This is just my opinion. No need to freak out about this article. I am NOT trying to undermine T fans' opinions, I am just stating why I (and at least a few others) get annoyed with T fans.

So most of the posts on here have to do with of course, Harry Potter vs Twilight. But after skimming through comments, I found a shocking amount of crazy responses from twilight fans. This got me thinking. Maybe the reason this fued has grown so large is not because of the question: Is Harry Better, or is Twilight? But because of the insane amount of fighting there is between the fans, in the comments, and posts.

I'm sure to T fans, HP fans sound pompous, and stuck up, because we are always parading how, HP is so much more well written and intelligent, and Twilight is for 14 year old girls. (I happen to be a 15 year old girl, and am NOT obsessed with Twilight, so yes, it is possible.)

To HP fans, T fans are annoying as heck, way too emotional and not to offend anyone...but lots of their comments are not very intelligent. Such as this one, that I read earlier today:

"Well,cedrics voice is exy,but cedric don't pluch his eyebrow.Edwrad is already painted as the sexiest vampire ever so that makes him heaps better.Sorry cedric,but i would rather edwad"

Seriously. I know that many T fans are way better at voicing their opinons than this...but many comments are like this. It gets annoying after a while.

I realize there are many people out there that DO NOT fit the stereotypes I just described, but hey, just a thought.

Harry Potter FOREVER.

pimp_my_alpacka ^ people feel the need to give long answers because 'yes' and 'no' don't give enough emotion needed to get their feelings across. This comment I actually find quite offensive because it's not only the HP fans that are giving long responses! I take it your a Twilight fan, because you happily overlook the fact that there are some twilight fans that have posted long comments in reply. If you think for a second, if everybody lived by your response, then HP and Twilight would never have been written! What I think you need to do is just think before you post next time. If you're going to accuse the HP crowd of something, make sure the Twilight crowd hasn't done this aswell! And also, make sure it wasn't as stupid as what you just put. People should be able to write what they're capable of writing, whether it's a sentence or five paragraphs long without people like you critisising them! The HP's make good points, and you critisise them for that? Nah, it doesn't work like that.

jammyd97 Guste_LT you need to get your eyes tested, because twilight fans have been putting long answers as well. People like you are just dick heads who think they can post whatever they like. Next time you wanna diss cool people like Harry Potter fans, don't expect us to sit there and take it mate.

harrypotterbest @pimp_my_alpacka For the T fans, it DOES work like that. I'm an Hp fan all-the-way, and i agree with this article. @Guste_LT You're not the one who wrote the article, so you don't have to read the comments, and if you think they're too long, like I said, don't bother reading them! If everyone followed as you say and only wrote 'I agree' or I disagree', that's not going to change someone's mind! This is a debate spot, so people post longer answers to try and convince the other side *T* to come to HP. They DEBATE!

Torment17 Look, I'm going to be reasonable, so we can all get along. (Please?) Yes, I'm DEFINATLY a Twilight fan. But I HAVE watched The HP films, due to my brother liking HP ALOT as a younger child. I have had to put up with HP, But when I can, I find somewhere to watch Twilight. I respect those who like HP, I give a lot more respect to those who love Twilight, I respect the HP fans, because, it is their own perspective. And you're saying our grammar skills need to develop and grow a little because we use short hand spelling or don't spell properly? Please! If you read my comment again, you'll see that I'm not putting any short hand, and using quite complex words in small places, to prove my point further on, I do alot of writing for articals. And, I'm Team Edward, because I think Jacob isn't being reasonable. Thats actually not the only reasons, but if I told you those other reasons, the HP fans will get annoyed with me. And please, if you want this fight to end and we can all get on with our lives without being interupted by a opposite fanbase stuck-up to your own oppinion, don't write any articals about it, and maybe (...just maybe) it will end. And, to be fair on me, let me have one part where I'm being un-reasonable to HP fans. Yes, you have caught me red handed. Because, Quite Frankly? Twilight Rules-Forever.

PotterForever ^ the whole grammer thing dosent apply to every twilight fan, but many of them do talk like that.

pimp_my_alpacka ^ exactly. And to be honest, the spelling wouldn't actually bother me, if it wasn't for the grammar aswell. Text speak is tollerable, but the way some T fans used grammar is just unexceptable, so it creates and easy stereotype because there isn't many well spoken twilight fans like yourself.

hrrypttrfn328 @Torment17 I just needed to add one little thing to your comment: you said very explicitly that you use big words in your comment just to make your point. You use them only to sound smarter, which is pretty much the reason Meyer has her Thesaurus nearby when she writes as well. Big words for the sake of big words only make you sound more juvenile on the whole.

twihard325 "Well,cedrics voice is exy,but cedric don't pluch his eyebrow.Edwrad is already painted as the sexiest vampire ever so that makes him heaps better.Sorry cedric,but i would rather edwad" ^ROFL. I agree with everything you've just said. T fans need to learn how to talk. Type for that matter. They make people like me look bad. -_-

SuperSnuffles13 UGH. Tooooooooooooooooooooooooo many insane Twifreaks. There are other people on this page who have English as only a second language who can speak better than the really obsessed Twihardsthat I have heard of. :)

SuperSnuffles13 By the way, when I say "Twihards" I'm not directing it to twihard325 in any way. I'm just using it as a term ;)

zanhar1 Why we dont like most fans... I'll give you a hint: LYKE ZOMG EDWARD!!!! IZ LYKE SO HAWT!!!!! oops I just gave it away.

aberforthLuna What I have trouble understanding is why Twilight fans like the series so much. I read all 4 books and regret it very much. I consider it wasted time. To me, nothing stood out as particularly interesting or enjoyable. However, I'm am partially biased, being a Harry Potter obsessive. But honestly, I read through every single comment on this post, and while HP supporters give evidence and reasoning behind their love for the series, the Twilight fans just say "Read the books before you judge!!!" Seriously, just tell us what's so great about it and maybe we'll stop stereotyping! :)

dobby_rg omigod Swhit 2, wtf? i like both HP and T but only like 2 books were good. plus, i totally agree w/ the article

fireladyofzuko I happen to think Harry Potter is one of the best-written, most wonderful series I had the fortune to read! :P But, on to Twilight:- I think the plot is good, but rather weak...Though, I really don't "hate" it. As for the fans? Sure, they can be annoying. But not all of them are. And some Harry Potter fans, I'm sure, can be rather annoying as well. Oh, but... Harry Potter forever, indeed! :P

DracoGirl29 What exactly was the point of Eclipse, may I ask? All that happened was that vampires and werewolves got together to fight. Then Bella and Edweird made love. WHERE was the friggin' plot?? At least Harry Potter had an INTERESTING plot in every book. Twilight just put me to sleep.

DracoGirl29 And, I'd also like to say that the reason we get annoyed with Twilight fans is because their reasons for liking it is "EDWARD ND JACOB R LIKE TOTALLY FITT!!" "ITSZ REALLY ROMANTIC ND ALL BOUT LUV <3 " I mean c'mon ...!!

youknowit101 They battled an army of newborns and killed Victoria. they got pass the Edward Jacob conflict. they allied with the wolves. they didn't have sex until breaking dawn

DracoGirl29 If you compare that to any of the Harry Potter's, Twilight would be put to shame.

youknowit101 Okay. its cool to have your opinion. thats not what this article is about, or what my comment to you was about

Gryffindork @youknowit101 That's not a plot. Those are just events that were thrown in to cover up that there was no plot. An event is not a plot. It's just an event.

nicemoncler They are fans, so they are crazy. I like both. But only liking not to the extent of fans. http://www.monclers-mall.com/

RandomRebekah I hate Twilight.

TheLoneWolf I have no problem with Twilight fans (THEIR opinion) but have you heard zome of the things they do to people who don't like it? It's horrible. And when they rant about how much Harry Potter sucks when most of them have never read it. I know some of them have but lots haven't. I don't like Twilight but that's just my opinion.

ImOnlyKait10 I read both and I agree 100% thanks for writing this, it made my life:D

sandeepksr HP told us most Perspective of Life.. T has None HP is better Written Twilight is very romantic.. HP's such lines are silly Edward and Harry has given us wonderful sense of life,right,etc.. Hermione is similar.. but Bella character is BAD Over many readings T is not good enough T has many heart overwhelming situations.. HP has many heart breaking situations Only one true story of love is in HP (Prince's Tale) Reread of HP3-Harry's-Hatred-towards-Sirius and HP7-Lies-of-Rita is unbearable,can't stick to the Lie It takes 5 books to understand HP is not a kid's story Well,T4 final fight far better,very intense.. HP's is bad T doesn't has any scary scene.. HP5-only-one-he-ever-feared is damn scary HP7 Voldemort is a blind FOOL.. T4 Aro is damn good (P.S. Er,i like HP.. i don't see movies.. My English is Troll)

Can 35 Million Book Buyers Be Wrong? Yes. (by: Harold Bloom)

posted by VampiresRevenge

Taking arms against Harry Potter, at this moment, is to emulate Hamlet taking arms against a sea of troubles. By opposing the sea, you won't end it. The Harry Potter epiphenomenon will go on, doubtless for some time, as J. R. R. Tolkien did, and then wane.

The official newspaper of our dominant counter-culture, The New York Times, has been startled by the Potter books into establishing a new policy for its not very literate book review. Rather than crowd out the Grishams, Clancys, Crichtons, Kings, and other vastly popular prose fictions on its fiction bestseller list, the Potter volumes will...

Not much is known about Ginny's education. Since Harry Potter is told in third person, and focuses entirely on Harry, Ginny tends to get pushed into the background. So, this part is all assumption.
