    OMG I LOVED YOUR ARTICLE
    ok well i really have no issue with the whole Twilight thing, i mean i've read the book all that jazz but im not oppsed with it. I read this crazy article about how far the twiight fans are taking things... sorta like the girl/boy below me. No ofince. I love twilight just never not in a million years will i like it better then Harry Potter, i absolutely love HP. I admit i do sometimes pretend to be in Harry Potter but thats cuz i love it. I agree that you should have had the facts before your oppions and you should have had more twilight facts. There were a lot of hp but if you are going to do a twilight/hp article you should do more.

    So yeah love Harry Potter way more then twilight i mean i like twilight but not as much as hp. I mean i have read Hp like 9 times :)

    I'm not going to sit here and waste my time complaining about how much I don't like Harry Potter and how much I love Twilight. I've gotten to the point where I can just say that everyone who likes Harry Potter better than Twilight could probably never be a close friend of mine, and I say that because every person I know who likes HP better is always a jerk to me and throws what they think in my face. I saw that someone already commented that Italy is in the second book so I'll leave that alone. But uh Stephenie Meyer has never said that she was in her own dream that started Twilight, she said that in her dream there was "an average-looking girl and a stunmingly handsome vampire." So I'd personally like to know where you found your information about the dream, not trying to be rude.

    Twilight is 1,000 times better than Harry Potter in everyway. And not to be rude, but it does seem like you were very biased in your article. And there was also way more facts about HP than Twilight.

    I must say, Harry Potter is a very god book, it is very obvious. Twilight is good too, but HP is better.

    I've have learned a lot of twilight, by now, but HP does sound better.

    I'm think to myself right now though, where did those facts come from, and why add them after your opinion. I think they should go before.

    And it does seem, that most do prefer HP, but remember: Twilight is still considered semi new.

    That is a fact you forgot to mention.

    Hey! Had to comment. Harry Potter is sooooooo much better than twilight for me. For 1, it has been around alot longer. For 2, Toddlers have it read to them, Children read it, Tennagers read it, Adults read it and immobile old people have it read to them. The woman over the road from me died recently and she was a HUGE fan of Harry Potter. Every time I talked to her we had a big discussion about it. I of course may be slightly biased cause I learned to read with Harry potter. I have 1 tiff with it however. The 7 th book? No. She said the 7 book thing was for the 7 years they were at hogwarts. Were they at hogwarts? No. There fore not for me. But I read it anyhow. All the way to the end. Her writing has got sooo much beetter FYI. Lol. Stephanie Meyer is a good writer I'll give her that. But she hasn't improved at all. And the sign of a excellent writer is that they improve with time. Terry Pratchet for instance is still getting better at writing even though he is ill and has written over 20 books. Oh, sorry to ramble on but I have 1 more point. Those of you turned against Harry Potter cause JK killed off Fred are idiots. I personnally loved Fred and George. Still do, but I think it was nessacery he died, sad but somebody had to die. Anyways. Any one want to contact me? Visit the page. Boring at the moment but still. Trying to get stories up. XD

    had to comment . . . . love your article, and Harry Potter will always be my number one favorite book/movie. Twilight was the 'thing' for me for a few months, and has been sliding down on my list since the last book came out. You cannot Compare Harry Potter and Twilight. ^__^

    I've read both series, of course. If I had to pick my favorite, I would definitely say Harry Potter. J. K. Rowling mostly follows Harry Potter around, but there is so much more than just Harry. For instance, if you pay enough attention to what happens in the first book, you'll know who's going to be in the later books. Rowling's just so much more elaborate than Stephanie Meyer, and that's why I love her.

    Harry Potter is the best, no doubt about it.
    But seriously people, we should not compare Harry Potter and Twilight. It is basically because both of them are totally different and also terrific in their own way. The two novels are really good books but it is seen clearly that nothing outshines the other. =]

    Harry Potter in my opinion, is better than Twilight.
    I don't know how people can even begin to compare the two.

    I must admit, I don't like either. The idea that vampires glitter in the sun seems a little foolish and belittling to the previous idea of the vampire kind. Harry Potter on the other hand is more thought out but still it can never quite keep my attention. I do agree that this artical is biased, but I also agree with something in the artical. Kirsten Stewert sucks in this movie. She is so blan and plain.

    First of all, even though I really dislike Twilight, there is an obvious bias in this article. There are so many opinions, and the praise you give to Potter is amazingly clear.

    If you're going to write an opinion article, that's fine, just don't slap on "the facts" at the end.

    Harry Potter is better in my opinion.

    The plot is a lot [i]deeper[/i] than Twilight; the characters actually have three-dimensional traits, wheareas Twilight I can see Bella popping off the page in cartoon form, if you catch my drift.

    In Harry Potter, every character has depth and a past, and in Twilight, they are explained all at once, whereas Harry Potter is over the course of the series. I'm always discovering something new when I reread them (about 109 times now) and Twilight: nothing new.

    Harry Potter. End of story.

    Harry Potter > Twilight

    I'm a teenage girl who's read both series. And I'm quite the romantic. So I think my opinion has to say something, even just a little bit O.o

    I used to like twilight. But then it became popular. Now i can't stand it. Not only did it become popular, it became this disgusting way overboared with teens and some adults unfortunately. But no matter what i(i don't care what anyone says) it's not going ot be more popular than Harry Potter, The stats prove it. Get over it.

    Never read Harry Potter, but it sounds MUCH better than Twilight. I feel like the IDEA is a good one, but not well executed.

    Oh, and there's that delightful fact that nobody sparkles in Harry Potter. Ahem.

    Potter is gold. Twilight is moderate. Neither are bad. But it really doesn't matter anyway..

    Before Twilight came out, I was obsessed with Harry Potter. I own all the books, and have read them several times. When Twilight first started to spread around in school. I thought it was pointless to follow a fad, when the books probably arn't even very good. However my best friend forced me to read it and as it turns out. I couldn't put it down. I loved how Stephanie Meyer explained things, and ow orignal the love story was. I don't think I 've ever read a book besides Twilight where a human and vampire fall inlove. All in all, its hard to choose between Twilight and Harry Potter. Or Edward and Harry, if you prefer to use that comparison. I think there both amazing. And Original
