M2 Emily ahhhh i am defiantly twilight series... i like the harry potter movies but i SOOOOO dont like the books! They are kinda more boring than the movies


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) WHAT!! Harry Potter!


M2 Emily I dont think harry potter is horrible i just dont like it as much as twilight

This hurts my soul a little bit. Harry Potter all the way. The character development is so much better and the relationships are deeper, opposed to the shallowness of Bella.

Kirby It's been like 8 or so years since I tried to read the first harry potter book, and I think that at the age of 18, I had missed my window of enjoying the series by about 10 years...wish I had read it as a kid.

Leigha Kosakowski I think its a close call but twilight is obviously the best book in the world but harry potter movies are better then twilight movies

Kirby oh, so a debate is b.s. if anyone has an opinion that differs from yours? sorta makes discussion difficult, doesn't it?


M2 Emily Kimberly LoVe wrote: "It is!:D"

Really? Why?"


She doesn't seem to really have a personality. She can't even decide between two guys and she claims love to Edward, but that's only because she wants to become a vampire.

Kim Seriously? a kiddie pool has more depth than Bella Swan.

message 1021: by Kim (new) - rated it 2 stars

Kim I actually think that Rosalie has wayyy more depth than Bella.

Rosalie was raped and abused by someone she hoped to marry and love. She hoped to have children one day and the reason she's such a wench to Bella is because Bella is so willing to give up something she had no choice over. That's the story behind Rosalie.

Bella throws herself off cliffs to hear voices. She should get that checked out.


message 1022: by Kim (new) - rated it 2 stars

Kim No....it's not. most of the characters are one sided and it's really sickening how obsessive she is over Edward. Like girls seriously don't act like that and the one's that do need a reality check.

The writing is OK, she seriously needs to edit better. It's not deep because the Twilight series is a gross interpretation of a dumb girl who needs to be saved by a big strong man and how all her decisions clearly revolve around him.

Do you think that's deep? someone who doesn't know how to think for themselves?

Couldn't have said it better.


message 1024: by Diana (new)

Diana Ibarra Harry Potter all the way!!! i have to admit that i did read the twighlight saga but i didnt read after the 3rd book because it just seemed retarded to me,like how retarded bella is like seriously, and the harry potter books are magical and so much better than twilight because they focus on true friendship and what destiny means and bella only cares about having sex with a vampire, and thats just a no, im sorry but no i dont like the twilight saga after eclipse okay


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) true...I still like HP better

Your right! she has more depth, it's just not shown very much in the books or movies.

Olivia Rose Cairns but harry potter is spells and twilight is vamps but vamps live forever and wizards can cast spells to make them live forever

But she didn't go running around telling everyone about how terrible her life is. She only opened up to Bella when they were closer

Olivia Rose Cairns but still he could make it happen no matter what and he could do it for ginny too


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) Why would he?? Harry isn't like that!


M2 Emily i agree i coulnd't imagine Harry doing that either


message 1034: by cyndi (new) - rated it 3 stars

cyndi i totally not into comparing two very different books. it feels really unfair for both of them. Comparison meaning description of similarities. The question is 'what i think of the comparison?' hm.. totally different, i can't compare them.


message 1035: by Barkha (new) - added it

Barkha Harry Potter is any day better than Twilight. Though I liked both the series, Twilight cannot ever match the level Harry Potter goes up to.

I agree with Annalisa! You cannot compare JK Rowling's books to anything. She has grabbed the interests of all ages, genders, and languages! Nothing can compare to that. Also, The women in Harry Potter are much more independent women who don't need men to please them. For example, Minerva, She didn't have a husband and she was my favorite character!

Maggie Why not both? The books come from amazing authors, why do we always have to have one superior to the other? Plus, all these things are based on opinions. One answer will NEVER be right to everyone. Its all in your own choice of genre, as well.

message 1048: by Melissa (new) - rated it 2 stars

Melissa You can sit and analyze Harry Potter for hours and hours. Some people like that. Me included. The more you look into the story, the more you find.

That being said, some people don't like it. They want a mindless story. They get why Bella chose Edward. There's not much psychological depth to her. Just "I did this because of this."

It's not fair to compare the two, especially on Twilight. Because sole Twilight fans will defend their fandom without much other background information. Not to say that Harry Potter fans that are also Twilight fans will also defend Twilight, but mostly these will defend Harry Potter.

Basically, a person who picks up Twilight and hasn't read before will prefer mindless books. Ex. City of Bones or Shiver ../?

A Harry Potter fan is able to appreciate a greater variety of books. including Twilight and those mentioned before. Also more complicated titles.


message 1049: by Bri (new)

Bri The best thing about Harry Potter is that it can be enjoyed by anybody. Adults, children, teenagers, babies...okay, maybe not babies...while the only demographic that Twilight really appeals to is teenage girls.


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) True..Well some mother like it..but that's it
