Harry Potter Vs. Twilight Article: A Little Rant By Me

posted by VampiresRevenge

Okay, I should start this off by saying that I am a fan of both Harry Potter and Twilight, but I am a bigger fan of Harry Potter. Why am I telling you this, you ask? Because this article is going to sound a lot like I am defending Twilight, which I am, and trashing on the Harry Potter, which I am not. Now that that's out of the way...

Okay. Earlier, I was in the Harry Potter spot, and I saw a rather shocking comment in one of the picks: "I cant think of an overrated harry potter character- overrated is over on the Twilight spot- he he." This sparked my interest. Is there anything else in the HP spot or in the Twilight spot that has to do with the other? I found out that, in fact, there is. Here's what I found:

Searched for Twilight in the Harry Potter spot:

- Twilight vs. Harry Potter articles
- J.K. vs. Stephanie articles
- Random videos that combine the two.
- Team Harry picture (which figuratively craps on Twilight)
- Harry Potter is better than Twilight article
- 8 reasons why HP is better than Twilight
- Anti-Twilight icon
- A pick with the results of people being pissed that Twilight has more fans
- "Does it bother you when people put Twilight stuff in the Harry Potter spot?" (Which I find ironic...)

Searched for Harry Potter in the Twilight spot:

- Twilight vs. Harry Potter articles
- Random videos that combine both.
- Pictures of Rob in Harry Potter
- Why we can't compare the two article
- Which movie are you more excited to see link
- Fanfictions of the two together
- Link to article about Rupert and Rob being friends
- Robert and Kellan talk about how they like Harry Potter link
- Harry Potter and Twilight icon
- Harry Potter icons named "Twilight" (link)
- Emma Watson is obsessed with Twilight link
- Do you like Harry Potter picks
- Pick about how Antis calling Twilight fans "Twitards" is offensive
- Why I hate Twilight forum topic, link.
- link article. (It, well... just read it)

Why is it that people are putting things in spots where they don't belong? Twilight and Harry Potter have nothing to do with each other, other than Rob being in both (which makes up for this images and videos of him in Harry Potter in the Twilight spot) and that people like to compare them. People comparing them is not a good excuse for you to go into a spot that you are not a fan of to say why you hate it and why the other is better, nor is it a good excuse for you to constantly have picks and questions comparing the two when there is a Twilight vs. Harry Potter spot.

To Antis, preferably: Why do you add articles and forums about why Harry Potter is better in the Twilight spot? You will accomplish nothing. Do you ever see an article in the Harry Potter spot about why Harry Potter sucks and why Twilight is better? I sure don't, and if there is, please direct me with a link. The Twilight spot is for Twilight fans. It's not for people like the Antis to go in and share why they think it sucks. If you think it sucks, then go into the C.A.T. spot or this spot. Don't waste your time telling it to people who either don't care or will be very offended because they are actually a fan of it.

Oh, and it really doesn't go with the article, but remember when you guys were complaining about this spot being centered around Twilight (despite having way more Antis / Harry Potter fans, picks that always have Harry Potter as the clear winner, questions about why the Twilight fans talk like idiots, and most of the images being Anti-Twilight)? I'm surprised that no one said that the title of this spot has Harry Potter listed first. So, I thought of something. Maybe the creator of this spot saw that Harry Potter was listed first, and therefore, had to add just one more Twilight image to the banner to compensate. Just a thought.

Opinions and comments would be greatly appreciated, as long as they're not calling me names for being a Twilight fan or smart-ass comments like "You like Twilight. Therefore, your argument is invalid." Debate, please. :)

Edit: I just realized how much I hate the title of this. Ugh.

Yarrgh You see more Harry Potter articles in the Twilight spot, ranting about how crap Twilight is, it is because most Harry Potter fans are from every age group, whereas a high percentage of Twilight fans are tweens & teenagers, who don't know how to spell properly & use many abbreviations! So they cannot be bothered to bitch & rant about Harry Potter, they only go on about how "Hot Edward Cullen" is. & your not really accomplishing anything on this article either, it doesn't make a difference, it hasn't changed my view on anything. But I do like some of the points you have made. If that makes sense, after what i've written, aha. (Please do not take my comment as an insult, but you stated that a opinion would be great, & now you've got mine.)

magic18 i agree with Yarrgh :)

VampiresRevenge I don't think so. I would say that the brunt of Fanpop is tweens / teenagers, so it doesn't really matter what they are a fan of. Most of the users are around the same age. And though many of the Twilight fans can't type right, you would be surprised. There are a lot of fans in the Twilight spot who can actually give debates while using correct grammar and punctuation. I know, it sounds unbelievable. ... I know that I won't change anyone's mind about what they are a fan of. That's not the point of this article. It's to get people to think, for me to get some things that I've been wanting to say for a while off of my chest, and to see if I could get some people to say why they like to but HP in the Twilight spot and Twilight in the HP spot. And if this article isn't accomplishing something because it's not changing your mind, then almost every article here is pointless. There are a ton of articles on here about why Twilight sucks and I don't agree with them nor will I stop liking Twilight because of them, but does that mean that the articles aren't going to accomplish something? No. Don't worry. I wasn't insulted by your comment. I'm glad that someone commented.

Yarrgh Well, to be honest I agree with you. Can't say much on anything mentioned now. HAHA

VampiresRevenge Haha.

LilRavenclaw95 I agree! Keep the debating here. Honestly. And as for the "You like Twilight. Therefore, your argument in invalid.", LOL! Whoever said that is stupid, and you need to ignore them! And the quote mentioned above made me think of the "Voldemort is breathing fire-- YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID!" photo. Just so you know O:)

VampiresRevenge Thanks! Yeah, someone told me that on another site because I had a "Twilight related avatar" when it was actually a Cedric avatar. Haha, I've seen that photo before.

LilRavenclaw95 Ah, Cedric. Ever since he died it's been all down-hill for him. xD Woooow... Was this person an HP fan? If so, EPIC FAIL, haha! And that picture is full of win. But not only does Voldemort breathe fire, he breathes fire that turns into a giant flaming snake. Pwn :)

VampiresRevenge Haha, I know. Too much sparkles for Cedric. I have no clue if they were a fan of HP, but it was on a music site that's full of a-holes. Every chance they get they attack my username (it's the same as it on here.) Total pwn. The only thing that would pwn more is if he killed Edward, hahaha. He could jump into Twilight in order to kill him.

boolander25 I've never really complained about the banner and I can list a bunch (well maybe a few) overrated HP characters. I'd much rather we stick to debating on this spot rather than invading others. Like you said, it accomplishes nothing. The spelling mistakes and bad grammar, well everyone messes up once in a while. It's just when it's completely over the top crap that I'll get annoyed. It truly is unfortunate that we have Twitards as the stereotype for all Twilight fans.

VampiresRevenge ^ I agree with all of that. I am still very confused as to why people can't put articles against Twilight in this spot ([URL="http://www.fanpop.com/spots/harry-potter/articles/59270/title/twilight-vs-harry-potter-breakdown"]This[/URL] was just added to the HP spot a few minutes ago), and why a question in the Harry Potter spot has to include a Twilight dig ([URL="http://www.fanpop.com/spots/harry-potter/answers/show/125108/wow-what-surprise-twilight-won-everything-on-mtv-awards-joke-what-except-congrats-tom-draco-rocks"]This[/URL] was also made today).

LilRavenclaw95 ^^^ That would be the single best ending of all time. Sometimes I re-read Twilight and hope that it magically ends with SOMEONE dying. I guess I'm just insane that way xD Ah, a-holes. They're annoying, but it's funny talking to them. Everything they say makes me want to A) slap them with a fish, or B) laugh so loud that they walk away. And I like your username! I read where you got it from, and it's awesome-sauce badical pants!

VampiresRevenge Haha, I do that with other books, tv shows, movies, etc. I always think that something will change when I read it or watch it over again. Thanks!
