I'm thinking both, but for different reasons.
Just my opinion...but I think Harry Potter for the simple fact that it has that magical coming of age aspect. You get to see how Harry and the other characters grow and change over the years, their individual plights, and how they each deal with the circumstances that life hands them. Not to mention the kind of magic that J.K. Rowling weaved book after book just seemed to transcend generations, kids, and their parents....so amazing just to sum it up!
Wow that was really pretty and is totally true! :)
Yup.. Vry true..:p
it's sooo HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!!!
Harry Potter because it is appropriate for all ages, unlike Twilight. You hear people talk about reading Harry Potter to their young children and to their aging parents. Twilight has mostly teenage fans, and it seems like the majority of them are girls.
Harry Potter hands down >_<

One day I will have children & I am already looking forward to reading the lines out loud: "Chapter 1. The Boy Who Lived." Can't say the same about Twilight.
I think 'Harry Potter' novels will be taught in schools which will help them be remembered as well as giving them respectablity. I think the 'Twilight' series might be weighed down by its narrative happening in a particular place in history (much as many novel series aimed at the young adult market are).
Pretty sure everyone will have forgotten about twilight in like five years. Harry Potter has left a legacy that will live on for a very long time :)

This was before the first movie was made & Harry Potter fandom exploded in the U.S. So you are very correct.
Harry Potter .... No Doubt ...
Harry Potter...twilight wouldn't be as well known if it weren't for the movies...but it will still be remembered i think but definetly harry potter
harry potter of course!twilight series became famous because of the movies.but harry potter became famous because of the books!
Harry Potter. 'Nuff said.
Harry Potter. No competition there.
I think Harry Potter is defiantly a classic, but when we like grow up, who knows? The Twilight series might be just like the Harry Potter series! I mean the Twilight series could be a classic later also, so I guess both...
The Harry Potter series is imaginative and well-written. I believe it will be read by young and old for years to come.
Both. Harry Potter for its brilliance, and Twilight for its despicableness.
...and actually, Stephen King said, "Harry Potter has earned his place next to Alice and Frodo." TAKE THAT TWILIGHT.

Oh and the Twilight characters are so memorable too!
Edward for his stupidity
Bella for her stupidity
Jacob for his stupidity
Jasper for his stupidity
Elizabeth for his stupidity
Charlie for his stupidity

Thank you, thank you very much. *bows* I put a lot of effort into it. I literally wikipedia'd the names cause I knew none of them...
oh... hahaha...:D even I don't know anything about them..:D ;)
Both unfortunatly, Twilight sold it's books and became extremly popular extremly quickly. I don't see why however,because it SUCKS!! Anyway...Harry Potter was very famous and was the first book series to become a complete series of movies. BECAUSE IT'S AMAZING!!

Harry Potter will definitely be the first one to go down in (the good) history. It has much more creativity and depth to it, while Twilight is more of a.... "just book"? But I also think that The Hunger Games trilogy is getting so popular that it will be the next great book. I'm guessing it will go down in history before Twilight and after Harry Potter.
HARRY POTTER, twilight will probably be forgotten in like 5 years after the last movie comes out
harry potter hands down, twilight will be forgotten in like 5 years
ur right.twilight became famous because of d movies.but harry potter movies were made because of the popularity the books gained!
Okay...I am about to put out a really serious question: Do you think Stephanie Meyer hired a ghost writer? This might be just my prejudice, but...I dunno...
i think so!!twilight just doesn't make sense.a whiny and stupid girl is loved by a werewolf and a vampire.all of them love twilight because of robert pattinson and taylor lautner...if she hired one,he is stupid.
Right! And also, they are all really, really long and written so...DESCRIPTEVELY (sp?) (emphasis)
for example it says what bella wore, what bella likes,how bella whines who cares about bella.those stupid guys are fighting with each other for her????when there are a zillion girls in the world!!!!!!!!!!
exactually...y just her? but that is what makes the story up and it is a STORY so anything can be possible
Harry Potter is one of the best selling book series of all time and has been translated into over 60 languages. It has transcended genres and audiences so virtually everyone reads it. Twilight has a strong following from a specific core group of fans but has not transcended to the diversity and extent that Harry Potter has.
umm of course HARRY POTTER!!! if someone does happen to remember twilight it will be to laugh at it or it will be known as a mistake of a book.

I watched half the movie and almost barfed. I can't imagine what it would be like reading a whole book full of Bella... or series for that matter.
Harry Potter. Just like Dahl.
Harry Potter! JK Rowling is a legend and a genius for her imagination and the way she ties everything together. :) 7 books, 8 movies. Who won't remember that? JK Rowling told a better love story in a few minutes with Snape in The Dealthy Hallows than Meyers did in 4 books!! The movies and the 3 last books of the Twilight saga ruined it for me. Twilight should've been one book. Not a whole saga!! HARRY POTTER!!! woop woop!
Harry Potter now has it's own amusement park. It is gong to be pretty hard for people to forget. For me, Harry Potter plays a large part in my childhood. And for that, I thank J.K. Rowling for genius ability to create a brand new world that can take away all your other worries.With Twilight I was obsessed with it while I was reading and maybe a couple months after...but now I'm kinda over it.

Sonia's right, Twilight is only going to be remembered for being that horrible series that was a fad for 2 weeks. Harry Potter is going to go down in history as a series that many millions of people adored. It will continue to be loved for ages and ages.
Is there really any comparison? HP will go down as a classic, timeless literary work, way before Twilight breaks the surface of peoples memories ten years from now. Just my opinion though.
