Twilight v. Harry Potter?
The media is using a simile you see. They like comparing two unlike using the words like or as. Love Emily~
Having read both I can say there is little comparison in the works themselves. I do believe the comparison comes as to the excitement each new novel exacted on the public. There aren't many books that can claim to have fans waiting in line to be the first to get their hungry little hands on it as was the case with both of these series. Three cheers for getting worked up over a book!
Harry Potter was... incredible. I mean Twilight was good but the writing was terrible. Harry Potter has a good story AND good writing. They both had cute guys in the movies. But the cute guys in Harry Potter were also British. But then again Robert was British... and also in Harry Potter. Ugh! I need to think about this...
Never ever. HP is just a work of genius, that we'll all remember when we're old and half-dead. Twilight's nice... yeah but: be honest. Do we all still know the plot of it and new moon & co.? No. We don't. And I think that's because it's in the first moment the best story you've ever read and then... then you read other things and time goes on and when someone asks you about twilight you just can tell him or her that it's a love story between a vampire and a naive girl. And: that's what it is. HP got, gets and will always get our hearts beating, whatever un-knowing people are saying. You read his story and you've lost. He's in your heart and he'll always be. - that's how I see this case. And noone will change my opinion 'bout that. Honestly.
Sophie,Yep. I agree with that 100%.

I like people who agree with me xD

I haven't read Harry Potter but I've watched the movies and they're awesome. I've read the Twilight series and seen the movies and they're awesome too. But if I had to pick one, I would choose the Twilight series.

Yeah, me too.
I think people get put off by the long books in the Harry Potter series, but it really isn't so. I know that JK Rowling's work isn't entirely original, but is a masterpiece. I've grown up with Harry and it has just been an amazing, amazing experience. I fell in love with reading because of the series and because of that I'm eternally grateful to her.
Kaylnn,At least give the books a shot, just try and read them and trust me the books are way better than the films. (:

OH MY GOD IT'S OVER! AFTER THE NEXT ONE COMES OUT THERE WILL BE NO MORE MOVIES!
Sophie wrote: "OH MY GOD IT'S OVER! AFTER THE NEXT ONE COMES OUT THERE WILL BE NO MORE MOVIES!"I think that that is good. The movies are rubbish. And nothing else. Honestly.

I think they're pretty decent, well except the Half Blood Prince. That one was terrible. They're going to release some of the previous movies again, but in 3D. I'll be pretty sad when the movies end.

Oh! Sophie (who wrote OH MY GOD IT'S OVER! AFTER THE NEXT ONE COMES OUT THERE WILL BE NO MORE MOVIES!) the other Sophie (who wrote I think that that is good. The movies are rubbish. And nothing else. Honestly) burned you. (In other words: Sophie, Sophie just burned you!)

I meant the twilight-movies... breaking dawn's still the last, I think? *hope* xD HP rocks! O_o (I'm crazy, I know...) Yeah. Half-Blood Prince was horrible. And The Order Of The Phoenix, too. All those cool things which had had to do with Quidditch weren't in it >.<
I'm really sorry... but confusing people is one of my only hobbies^^ NO. That was my failt, I just forgot to mention that, didn't think about that the last HP movie's also coming out soon... in Germany it's still a while... so... *confusing myself* <-- I'll stop now, I think.
Oh right. Lol. I thought you meant the Harry Potter movies. I agree. I only saw the first one and that was just absolutely awful, so I stopped there.I liked OotP, especially the introduction to Luna and Bellatrix. They are lovely. Half Blood Prince has got to be the worst. Ginny. Oh gosh. She's my least favourite character.

And I thought we were talking about twilight^^ Yeah, I saw twilight & new moon and then... No. You all don't want to know what I almost did. *ahem* Yeah, Luna & Bella... that were just nice. But I missed "Weasley's our king" in the movie :D Hmmm... if you ask me I do like Cho not better. And if I had to choose between them, I'd take Ginny. Honestly.
Sophie,Haha. Lol. First I started talking about Harry Potter then Twilight then back to Harry Potter. xD I confuse people a lot too. Oh and when's DH Part 2 coming out in Germany?
Lol. I don't think I'll see anymore Twilight movies. YES. WEASLEY IS OUR KING<33 I completely forgot about that. That was an epic part in the book. I hate Cho too, but Ginny just gets on my nerves so much that I would take Cho. xD
Hina wrote: "Sophie,Haha. Lol. First I started talking about Harry Potter then Twilight then back to Harry Potter. xD I confuse people a lot too. Oh and when's DH Part 2 coming out in Germany?

Yeah - we're both a bit confusing, I see ;D Umm... July? (I'm almost crying now... bahaaa) No, me won't see any of this - what did I say? Rubbish? again^^ I hate Cho so much that I couldn't even think of taking her. And: it's "Harry's" decision. I meant J.K.'s :DD
WEASLEY IS OUR KING! *___*
Yes, lol. :D Ah, it's releasing in the UK in June. But I guess the later it is the longer the series of films will last for you. (: I guess it's because of Cho's crying and her sense of taste. She takes Harry to this lovey dovey teashop (teashops are awesome though). But Ginny! Harry is too good for her! She just think she's actually all that with her being insanely popular. We don't even read much about her and then BANG. In Half Blood Prince she just...urggh.
YES HE IS!

Well, THAT'S a good point... but I would really like to see it NOW, you see?
Yeah... maybe. And teashops are very awesome though - exept THIS one. All those pink, fluffy things... Uahh. Actually I think she exploids Harry a bit. He's just so... soft-hearted that he can't resist her beautiful eyes^^ I mean: she still loves Cedric, doesn't she? She cries when she sees his photograph or Harry starts to talk abot him... that is... I don't know the word in English... something like... un-fair but a number bigger xD... more sentimental... you get it? *don't believing* (no idea how to explain oO)
AND HOW HE IS!

Where I live, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows II, is coming out 7/?/11. (July, Sumthin, 2011)

Yes, true, true.
Teashops are awesome. :D
Yes I see what you mean. Talk about being shallow.
Haha, yes. Don't worry I understand. xD

Oh yes, I meant July. It's coming out in the UK and US on July 15th. :D
I am SO sick of Harry Potter and Twilight being compared. They are NOTHING alike. Yes, I prefer Harry Potter by an extremely large margin to Twilight, but I still don't understand why these two series are being lumped together. The only thing they have in common is that they are both fantasy. Other than that, they are TOTALLY different books.

Thank God. To shallow - what else? In one moment I knew exactly what I wanted to write and then... the word was GONE :D It's hard to write English in holidays... in English class it's much easier^^
Yes, I love teashops. I love them so much! But German are very different to British, I think so.
Huff-Puff. Do this mean that... that I... I have to... to wait any... lo-longer? I'm going to die! Really.

Or wasn't it me who wrote "some" things here? ;)

Many disagree, hence the whole war between Twilight and Harry Potter.

Lol. That's what happens to me some times. Germany sounds more exciting. I know a bit of German because of The Book Thief and those words are bad so I'm not going to mention them on here. xD
Well, the trailer for the new film is out on Wednesday.

'til I die there WON'T be any 'next big thing' and if I have to kill anyone! xD

But it's popular for all the wrong reasons so it can never be compared to Harry Potter.

Germany sound more exciting? Ummm... I think if you're living there since you were born it isn't as exciting as people think^^ Oh, yeah The Book Thief... nice one. But... bad words? You mean like... and..., do you? xP
Sophie, Ah, true. xD The Book Thief is such a brilliant book. Lol. If you're thinking what I'm thinking then yes. xD
Hina, I know many bad German words, so... But I think I know which ones you're thinking of. xD
I'm mad. I know! So please don't laugh at me. Nope, it doesn't hurt ! I just can do it better myself, that's all. :D

Yes, there you said it yourself it's unbelievable, it doesn't have any reality to it, that's why I wasn't buying anything that really happened, hence why I don't like the series.
I found JKR's series fascinating and simply magical, I couldn't put it down. Twilight felt like a bore to me I had to force myself to go on.
I can see we arn't going to change each others minds, but it is nice to see that there are a few people who believe strongly in it, for the right reasons of course. ;)
