Two Legends: Harry Potter vs. Twilight - Comments

I've read all the books in both series.
And, let me say, I am a proud Anti-Twilight girl.
I even have the shirt that says, "And then Buffy Staked Edward, The End." and the "Twilight is the Cultural Equivilant of Cancer" shirt.
:)
Nice to know some people have come to their senses.

i haven't read harry potter, but i have read twilight and if you are going to compare the two, then the LEAST you can do is read them both. i love twilight and i do agrree it is overrated and people have made it such a phenom that it get boring after a while, but its a great series so don't diss it when you havent even read the whole thing. im just saying...

I have to admit, when i first read Twilight, I was addicted. But now people are over doing it. My English teacher says she can understand WHY people like it, but she uses the same word, like six times in two sentences.

But I always will love Harry Potter. It just kept getting better and better.
-Kayli :p

Twilight is a fad and really only appeals to tenage girls (although there are some cougars I know...).

Harry Potter is a "legend" (if that's what you want to call it) that appeals to all ages.

I know you really shouldn't compare the two, but if you did, Harry would beat sparkly boys ass. : )

One question to Twi-hards:

How did Edward get Bella pregnant? That's kind of impossible.

Twlight isn't a legend.
Far from it.

i'd have to say i love both.

Wow, i didn't know there was a "Team kill the Cullens" XD I'm a twilight fan and a harry potter fan, but theres no contest. HP pwns twilght.

HP is much better. At least Hogwart boys don't sparkles.

* I like Ravenclaw most

Yeah~ two legends.
A legend of Fantasy (Harry Potter)
And,
A legend of Fail. (Twilight)
I am team Dracula, because no self respecting vampire sparkles. >.> lol.
I really like all the houses, but I like Ravenclaw too. :D

GO SLYTHERIN!!!! And I'm a proud member of Kill Cullen! Twilight was really badly written and the vampires sucked. It seems so stupid that they SPARKLE in sunlight, I'm not saying vampires have to die immediatly in sunlight but don't make the effing SPARKLE! That's just a disgrace to the name of vampires. Harry Potter on the other hand was well written and had an easy to follow, but extremely exciting plot. Twilight was really choppy, and Bella was just a Mary-Sue, and Edward was conceited and a total control freak. What kind of message does a, over controlling boyfriend send to young girls that are reading this? That it's okay for your boyfriend to never say please and for your relationship to be based on looks? HARRY POTTER KICKS ASS!!!!!!!!

and Meyer's "Werewolves" aren't really werewolves, since they change at will, and they are not exactly afraid of the full moon...to me, they remind me of Animagi...

whoo GRYFFINDOR!!!!
Where dwell the brave at heart!

Harry is Ah-mazing. I love it. We all need to hear biased opinions once in a while to know humans still express themself.

Go Ravenclaw ;)

Harry Potter!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOPr

And furthermore, Harry Potter and Twilight are completely different books, though since they fall under the 'fantasy' genre, they will constantly be compared. I for one like Harry because he is such a beleivable character. He isn't drop-dead gorgeous, he has insecurities, and he is constantly ridiculed yet he sticks to what he beleives in. With Twilight, Edward is more of the anti-hero with a cocky persona. Edward and Harry rule in their owns ways.

As for Bella, well, just compare her to someone headstrong and independent like Ginny Weasley, Harry's lover.

I personally find Harry Potter books more interesting because the characters are so colorful and you can't help but fall in love with Draco yet despise him and feel bad for him at the same time. And then there's the Ministry, Hermione, who you hate to love because of her overbearing know-it-all attitude, Professor Snape who you thought was the bad guy all the way up until end of the seventh installment and who also knew Harry's mom AND her full-fledged Muggle sister.

J.K. Rowling just seemed like she had more time in writing her books whereas Stephanie looked as if she'd just rushed and hadn't taken her time with things. I beleive that Twilight is a great book in its own right but there were some things that could've been done differently, like the whole character development of Bella or maybe even Edward. Like what makes Edward so possessive? Or what makes Bella so attracted to Edward besides him being so handsome and mysterious? Things like that.

But overrall, two good books who have their own fanfictions and such and such.

I disagree with people saying that Stephanie Meyer changed the whole 'vampire' thing. Have they READ Anne Rice? Anyways, I agree with you 100% The whole Twilight is so overrated and Harry's just amazing.

harry all the way!!
i finished twilight but not the series.
its kinda annoying cuz the minute you put an attractive guy somewhere the whole world becomes obsessed with that one thing. also, am i the only who noticed that kristen stewart cannot act?
ur right the vampires do seem concieted, that's not why i didn't finish though, it was WAAAAAAAY too cheasy for my taste. girl finds boy fall in love inseperable is basiclly the plot.

This is a very biased argument.
If you never finished the book(s), why write an article about two great series, just to say how great Harry Potter is?
I myself am a true Harry Potter AND Twilight fan. I actually read them alternately each day.
I think that if you want to say how great Harry Potter is, to make it a fair analysis, read the other series as well.

Yay for Ravenclaw! Twilight can be kinda interesting for the first time, but I just can't make myself read it again. It's too... predictable, maybe? And I've read OotP book 7 times already :) So my point - Harry Potter FTW!!!
