Jesus Christ what is with all the Twitards on this question. Yahoo answers has gained some sanity and become more anti-Twilight lately but oh god.
Ok Twilight is, I can honestly say the worst book I have ever read
Bella: I love you Edward
Edward: I love you too you are so beautiful
Bella: No YOU are so beautiful. I love you. You're all sparkly
Edward: You are the most perfect creature ever
1000 pages and 3 books later
Bella: I love you Edward
Edward: I love you you are so beautiful
OMFG it's just them proliferating their love for each other for 1000+ pages. And right at the end Smeyer is like JESUS CHRIST I NEED PLOT and throws some crap in.
Ok Edward is not hot. He is a creepy stalker. he watches her sleep. He won't let her see her friends. He follows her around. He won't let her drive. He beats her up while they're having sex. He gives her a c-section with his teeth. Come on that's gross. Bella is disgusting, falling apart as soon as Edward leaves and only getting some semblance of togetherness back when she finds another guy to take Edward's place. PATHETIC.
Harry Potter beats Twilight hands down. Harry Potter caters for a much wider audience, while Twilight appeals to tween's. Every single one of my friends hates Twilight. Thinks it's absolutely ridiculous, the writing is terrible, the characters one dimensional and the plot cliche. We're 18. My sister, who is 13 is in love with Twilight. So are all her friends. They get together and talk about it and how 'awesome' it is and 'how much they love Edward' and how they 'just wish Jacob would die'.
Younger kids love the earlier Harry Potter books. But can you really see a 10 year old finishing Order of the Phoenix. They'd have to be a pretty smart 10 year old. But Harry Potter has fans in every walk of life. The Harry Potter phenomenon started, really, about 7 years ago. The people that started reading Harry Potter at say, age 10-14, are now 17-21. They're adults and the majority of them still love Harry Potter. And there's the giant adult fan base. Basically every single harry potter fan site it run by an older adult. And there's hundreds of them. I made my parents read Harry Potter. They liked it. Read the whole series. My sister made them read Twilight. Mum said the first book was terribly written and couldn't continue. Dad couldn't even finish the first book. They both have uni degrees, they're not idiots.
Basically Twilight is aimed for girls 12-16. Smeyer writes likes she's swallowed a thesaurus, her books are riddled with plot holes and discrepancies. How can Edward, who has been dead for nearly 100 years, have sperm, which is alive, and has the capability to father a child. Yeah makes awesome sense. Plus he's a complete stalker. And abusive. Bella is portrayed as a woman who relies entirely on a man, after Edward left she completely fell apart. And this girl is supposed to be a rolemodel for other girls.
Now compare this to Harry Potter. Please show me one plot hole. The main characters have substance and flaws and are amazing role models. Look at Hermione in comparison to Bella. She's smart, loyal, courageous and stands up for what she believes in. She loves Ron from the age of 14, and despite his not realizing it, she still stays strong and continues on in her life. The perfect role model for young girls. Harry is also a great role model. He continues to love despite the terrible events which have occured in his life. He is even willing to sacrifice his own life for everybody else. There's hundreds of other amazing characters. Ron, Snape, Dumbledore, Remus Lupin, Ginny. The list goes on and on. Who have you got in Twilight? more and more one dimensional characters who are nothing more than pretty stalkers.
Ok and every single character in Twilight is one dimensional.
Bella: Pathetic Mary Sue
Edward: I love you Bella. And the oldest virgin ever
Jacob: annoying.
And that's it. That's all the major characters. If you include like Emmett and Jasper and Alice. They don't even have personalities. The best one, in my opinion is Rosalie.
Every single Harry Potter character has a background, unique personality and REAL faults. Choose me ANY character and you can pull faults and positive traits in their personalities. Not like Bella being "clumsy" which everyone seems to find endearing so isn't really a fault at all. And what's with her supposed to be average looking? yeah ok coz it's not like every guy in the school wants to be in her pants apparently. At my high school all the guys went for the average girl, definitely. Sorry now I'm onto the Bella being a Mary Sue rant again.
And JK obviously put some effort and research into Harry Potter. I mean look at the deep roots into mythology, legends, latin and other languages. Stephenie meyer had a pretty dream. Good for her. Even other authors acknowledge how much better Rowling is to Smeyer. Stephen King, best selling author for decades said:
"The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn," he said. "She's not very good."
JK Rowling intertwines foreshadowing through the entire series, with events in the first novel foreshadowing events that occur in the seventh, which was written 17 years later. What have you got in Twilight? certainly nothing that would match Harry Potter. You simply have a love story which appeals to kids who haven't got the maturity to realize how fake it is, or the life experience to realize it is appallingly written

Harry Potter is much better than Twilight. Twilight is a story that includes Vampires and Werewolves which isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, the only historically correct fact about vampires and werewolves in the entire series is that they are natural enemies, however Stephenie Meyer has changed that so that it only REALLY applies to two clans, a clan of vampires, and a tribe of werewolves. Yes the werewolves don't like the other vampires but that's really only because they want to hurt Bella. Werewolves can neither stop aging, change into a werewolf when they want to, nor can they stop being a werewolf by not changing long enough. Vampires cannot survive on animal blood. The reason vampires are considered so dark and dangerous is because they feed on the blood of humans. Vampires don't sparkle, they die in the sunlight. The point is Twilight is full of mythological inaccuracies. Harry Potter's mythical creatures, however, are based on historical legends. The hypogriffs, the elves, dragons, giants, trolls, all of them were changed to to some degree to apply to Mrs. Rowling's stories, yes, but are still recognizable mythical creatures. Another thing, I was able to read one twilight book in less than a week because it just wasn't hard to read. There was no detail, no depth, to complicated or complex plot, just love obsessed teenagers. I may be able to read a Harry Potter book in three weeks, maybe a month, because the wording and complexity of the stories are more than that of Twilight. The lesson we learn from Twilight is that love is the most important, and you should do whatever harm to yourself just to be with the one you love. This is pathetic and an insult to anyone in a relationship, particularly women (thank you Bella). The lessons we learn from Harry Potter is that we can be brave and face our fears, intelligence is just as important as power in a battle, Size is no guarantee of power, we should not judge people by what they are but who they are, prejudices are not to be focused on, family and friendship is important, and to see the world with an open mind. There are so many more but I can't name them all. The world J.K Rowling created is beautiful and a place many want to go to and be a part of. What world did Stephenie Meyer create? Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula, has been disgraced by Stephenie Meyer and her fairies she calls vampires. Bella can't stick up for herself, and Jacob and Edward are both pedophiles. So yes, Harry Potter is better than Twilight, no questions asked.

Obviously harry potter!!! Twilight is only about relationships.whereas in harry potter there is mystry romance thrilll comedy n tragedy. Harry potter also has those little things tat makes the reader amused like the wealey pranks, lunas craziness, fleur being like say phlegm, lavender calling ron wonwon or hagrids ununderstandable liking of monsters
Whereas in twilight theres no mix of genres itz oly dark romance. the plot is dark and boring . In twilight u can find bella staring into edwards eyes for 10 pages!!!

Harryyy potterrr!!!
i love taylor lautner and i watched all the series just to see. the girl acted as bella is awfull. She can do a bit of more smiling. makes people feel sick with her dull face. She is pretty though but dnt knw why she s always keeping her face dull. I tried to read the novel. But i always imagine the edmward and bella character from the movie while reading and they irritate me. So i dropped reading the novel. Always love taylor though he s awsome and cooll
Hp on the other hand is amazing. but book is brilliant compared to the movie very interesting. And all the characters are apt on there role

Harry Potter!!! Twilight doesn't even have a plot, let alone a brilliant one like HP. And besides can you imagine a 6 year-old sitting up in bed and having Twilight read to him, or a 48 year old women completely enthused by twilight,? Coz i cant, yet that's what happened to Harry Potter!! You can go to any school, any where and see heaps of kids with Harry potter bags or wallets or whatever, but if they were to make Twilight merchandise, they'd have to take it of the shelves, or give it away. Thousands of adults, kids and teens still love Harry Potter, years after the first novel was released. Harry POtter has everything in it, love, adventure, drama, comedy and of course fantasy. While Twilight has nothing but love, written badly, its pathetic!
HARRY POTTER ALL THE WAY
Oh, and by the way, dirhard twilighter, you are a moron. Harry is awsome and his classes make him even better, and can you imagine HP with out glasses? that would be ridiculous.
And only little kids dress up like harry potter with wands and try and cast spells and that's cute anyway!

Everyone has a different opinion. Since we all have different mind and different way of thinking, not everyone can like something.
As per my opinion, I didn't liked Twilight movie much and I can't say about the novel because I haven't read it.
On the other hand, Harry Potter rocks all the way!
