ok listen and listen good twilight is better than harry potter

"Atleast Twilight was written by Stephenie Meyer, a good, nice, talented author who has a good taste in books."

Excuse me?
Lord of the Rings was written by J. R. Tolkien, OHMYGOSH. It would be an amazing story, if it was written the same way, no matter WHO wrote it.

Seriously, if your argument about a book being good, is because who it was written by, then...just...no comment

I have read both series and can understand why people enjoy twilight, i enjoyed it myself but harry potter is clearly a better story
it has so much more depth and intricate plots, its something ive read over and over and still not get bored
its in a league far above twilight, its something one day your going to want to pass on to your kids so they can discover the mysterys

i am sad that i will never again be able to experience the wait leading up to the release of a new harry potter book, the excitment and then once you get it you cant stop reading

it is a pity the story had to end but we can all be happy it didnt have a stupid predictable happily ever after for everybody, not that anyone really expected that of an author as talented as JK.

in the end it relaly comes down to the fact that harry potter will live on forever and be rememebred as a classic, yet twilight will be forgotten

How the hell can that even be a question?
Harry Potter all the way.

They're both equally dire examples of writing.

The only difference is that Harry Potter has a guy as the main character and so it readable by plebs of both sexes while Twilight has a female lead so all the guys scoff at the girls' bad taste.

Having read both series entirely, Harry Potter wins. The two seem almost incomparable because of the completely different levels of writing.

Harry Potter flows from one book to another. Each book is important to the entire series and they all feed off of each other. The series is cleverly planned, with events in one book becoming crucial in a later one.

Twilight, has no twists, and is incredibly predictable. The novels are written as if Meyer sat down one day and was like "I like vampires. I think ill name him edward and see where it goes." The books go on and on about things that could be simply stated; a prime example would be the entire first half of new moon. The twilight saga is a story with no backbone. It is entertaining, and i do not regret reading it at all. But the simple true is the characters are under developed, the story line is weak, and very little thought appeared to have been put into it.

Harry Potter is a series people grew up with, and wont grow out of. Adults and kids both thoroughly enjoy the books. Twilight is a series that is little less than a fad. Thirty years from now parents will not give their kid a twilight book and talk about how amazing vampires are. It is easy to envision, however, a harry potter fan, as an adult, giving their child Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, whether they are a boy or a girl, and expect them to enjoy it.

Having read about 3/4 of Harry Potter and a good chunk of Twilight, I can honestly say that Harry Potter is, by far, better written in every way. Even Stephen King agrees with me. You can see the interview. Twilight was a bit entertaining. So what? That doesn't by any means make it a good piece of literature in the least. You can find online sex stories and fan fictions that are littered with grammatical mistakes, plot holes, character flaws, and so much more that are entertaining. Meyer couldn't write in more than two sentence structures to save her life. And how much work was put into the Harry Potter universe? Let's see, the first book was published in either June or July of '97. The series was finished about ten years later. Twilight, on the other hand, was started somewhere in mid 2005, and ended in 2008. Yeah. Meyer fires off books more quickly than a teenager masturbates. Not to say that prolific authors aren't bad--on the contrary, Harry Turtledove is prolific in the extreme, and he's great. But Turtledove has skill. Before I move onto my next topic, let me harp a bit more on writing prowess. My Advanced English teacher has told me this directly, having read both series: About 60% of my English class in the 8th grade was made up of better writers than Meyer. Thirteen and fourteen year-olds. Yeah. Ouch.

And now for the characters. Meyer claims that characters are what drive her story. Edward, the one everyone obsesses over, is perfect. More so than anyone could hope to be. Bella is... well, Bella is rather dumb and has an inferiority complex and is always angsty. The reader doesn't care about either of them. I'm serious. When I was reading the conclusion of the first book, I simply said "Oh, she got attacked. Poor Bella. I wish I could honestly say that I cared". And as for Harry Potter: The reader grows deeply attached to each character. Mainly because they're realistic and believable, whereas Twilight's characters are all either perfect or cardboard cut-outs. No one can relate to perfection or a cardboard cut-out. People can relate to Neville Longbottom, who was made fun of, bullied, and went through many hardships, and despite all of this was an altogether sweet, heart-of-gold boy, who treasured his friends and would give anything to protect them. They can relate to Harry, a boy struggling through adolescence and who feels at times as if the world was crashing around him, and who had to genuinely WORK to get where he got to in the end. The reader feels for Dumbledore, who goes through extreme agony as Harry is made to force him through the pain. In short, it comes down to this: Harry Potter has a genuinely endearing and heart-felt cast, whereas Twilight is just made up of teeny bopper eye candy for a cast.

And Harry Potter is exceedingly entertaining.

Seriously..how can you even compare Twilight to Harry Potter? I cant stand how people compare Stephenie Meyer to J.K Rowling. Stephenie Meyer can't write 1/1000000000000000000 as well as J.K can.... if Twilight should be compared to anything, it should be compared to the "literature" people find on the stalls of public restrooms...

i AGREA WITH MILEY

HI IM MILY AND you ARE THE WORLD

hARRY POTTER IS BETTER AND AND TWILIGHT IS GOOD TO BUT HARRY POTTER IS BETTER HARRY POTTER ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.OK

Crowd of Twilight fangirls: OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S ROBERT PATTINSON!!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE SO HOT!!!!!!!!!!! CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH???????????????????
Me: O_o

Harry potter is infinatly better thatn twilight.

my first experiance with harry potter was when I was eight. this was before the movies and before anyone even knew who Harry Potter was. I fell in love with the story the first time I read it. You twihards are probably thinking "why should be trust the opinion of an eight year old?" well, simply because in my opion I know/knew a good book. I was reading JK rowling, Ghram Edwards, Brian Jaques and Garry Killworth even then. I love these books and even now know that they might not be well knowen, but they are true classics.

Harry Potter may be set in a world of magic, but the characters are still human, they still feel, they still make mistakes

Edward Cullen is perfect. he is the kind of perfect that no one could possibly live up to. and he STALKES Bella. if he was fat and ugly, she'd call the police.

The overall theme for Harry Potter is undying love. James and Lilly Potter die for thier son. Harry dies for the entire wizarding world. They are willing to sacrafice themselves for what is right.

Does this happen in twilight? are there feats of beavery and doing what is right in Twilight? the relationships are founded on hormones and lust. you get about 99.5% of "oh edward, I love your hair/eyes/teeth/skin it is just gross.

I read the first bit of twilight and almost threw up because of it. I slogged through it simply because I know that it is unfair to hat a book untill you have read it.

summary:
Harry Potter > Twilight

harry potter is better than twilight

harry potter is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Honestly, Twilight gives a bad name to teenage girls. All Bella ever does is freak out and complain. She's not an independent person, and she always needs saving. Also, the book is simply very shallow. The entire series is about how Bella is obsessed with Edward. All she thinks about is how hot he is. The writing itself doen't flow. With Twilight, it's written just to get through it, Harry Potter is written more like it's art. Twilight lacks imagination. The plot was very predictable. Spending money on the book was hardly nessacary, the outcome is obvious. The Harry Potter books deal with slavery, racism (Well, mugglesand mudboods vs purebloods anyway)and that which people seem to fear above anything else, death while Bella's lets out a constant stream of OH I WOULD DIE FOR HIM. Harry Potter deals with a more real love. In the end, it's pretty obvious that Harry POtter is superior. And anyway, Harry Potter could beat Edward anyday.

harry potter forever!
when the twilight saga dies, so will this hype..twilights a fad. harry potter will live on forever, it is not just a fad..its a legeng..a bit like MJ:P

BTW, I don't care if a stampede of screaming fangirls/twihards/twitards comes screaming at me and they trample me and I have to go to the hospital.

I think that Twilight is okay, but Harry Potter is by far better than Twilight. The action and adventure makes readers never want to put it down!

Honestly, how could Twilight even come CLOSE to beating Harry Potter?! The best arguments Twilight fans can come up with against HP are things like, "Edward is hotter!!!!"

HARRY POTTER OWNS TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!

HP will live forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dude, twilight is way better, harry potter is boring.......vampires are way better than wizards. they suck your blood and have powers, wizards just have powers :-)

Why is this being discussed!?!? Everyone knows Harry Potter is the best book written in the universe. And twilight is the worst book ever written. Stephanie writes so boring. It never ends..... just goes on forever. Jk is soooo mu=ch better

i have a joke ok

I say: Gess what
You say:what
I say: your mad and i'm not

In my opinion, Twilight ends to perfectly. Sure you might be thinking 'WTF Harry defeated Voldemort at the end of the series and he marries the girl he wants and blah blah bhah blah blah.' True, Harry does defeat Voldemort in the end, but he has to fight for it. Many people got killed in the final battle and many peoplegot locked up in Azkaban. Not everyone gets a happily ever after.

Angelina,

Are you seriously proud of having thrown a brand new book into the bin? You could at least have donated it to a charity shop.

Let me get this straight, you think Harry Potter is "bubblegum pop crappy garbage"? Have you READ Twilight?

And why should it be illegal to sell in any stores?
