I prefer Harry for sure.
I’m not trying to be mean, but you realize that most of your reasons have to do with the movies…
I feel that if you are going to make an actual list, then they should be based solely on the books.

Harry Potter is classic. kids who had grown up reading it and now fully ladies and gents would hand those 7 books down to their kids someday like a family heirloom.

seriously, like what Tasha said, you only based it on the books.

Harry Potter is a genius piece of literature that shouldn’t really be compared to anything like vampire nobles simply because (for crying out loud) it’s so far out. just because they are both blockbusters and la la la.

and i got to say i was strongly offended by that title. J.K Rowling’s style of writing is different with sm — and please see it? it’s much better than the latter.

so, HP is an original story, imaginable and can make people wonder if there is really magic (guess there is. oh never mind). i don’t find myself lost when another book comes out, so i can’t relate with that specific point of yours.

and hp is not just about ‘he’s hot i’m falling in love.’ its characters are more realistic, and showing some flaws that normal people would have. bella is too perfect for her own good. guys check her out. like mary sue or something.

pardon me, i’m not being harsh. and pardon my grammar as well since i’m in a hurry.

Harry Potter is a very original story in so far as it clashes fantasy with reality and books about vampires are almost always set in modern times whereas wizardry is normally set in ancient times or fantasy worlds.

Harry Potter is a story of good and evil clashing and this gives the books a far greater meaning whereas Twilight is simply a love story with some dissapointing action scenes.

Harry Potter develops all of its characters such as Ron’s siblings and even Snape, in this way Harry Potter manages to give an impression of a far greater world around the main characters.

Harry Potter is more realistic in the way that it deals with love and moves away from the almost soley erotic views of Twilight.

All in all I think that Harry Potter is a far more developed set of novels than Twilight and Rowling’s characters are easily related to as both their flaws and virtues are shown throughout the series.

I’ve read all of the Harry Potter books. Several times in fact. I think that at some points it gets boring an repetitive.

As far as it being more “realistic” HELLO Witches vs Vampires, all fictional.

SM has a way of making her characters come to life.

Bella is far from a Mary Sue, because she is unhappy with herself. She shows that just because guys are paying attention to her that she doesn’t quite get that she is a beauty. She’s basically annoyed because she’s unsure of herself.

I can’t believe you took the time to write some mess like this.
Nothing about Twilight even comes close to Harry Potter.
Stephanie Meyer can’t write. J.K. Rowling is an amazing writer. Everyone else knows this. Even Steven King has said: “Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.” and also “The difference between Stephanie Meyer and J. K. Rowling is that J. K. Rowling can actually write.”

Go read J.R.R Tolkien, Octavia Butler, H.P. Lovecraft and Glen Cook and you will never pick up a Twilight or Harry Potter novel again.

If you read novels by them and disagree, well, god help us all.

twilight is appaling, s.meyer cannot write. the idea she came up was incredibly unoriginal. yes vampires sparkle thats a new one. but any sane person would understand only morons could like this crap. everything was thrown together as if she didn’t have any idea how to end the story. twilight is the product of a crazy womens sextual fantasy. Harry potter is the highest grossing film series of all time and the books have sold millions of more copies. R.Pattinson said his character was a manic depressant who was a crazed womens sextual fantasy. He left harry potter because his character died. Twilight is one-dimensional, the characters are mary-sues and lack personality. the only reason its popular because the charaters are hot and everyone wants to have bellas life because of how perfect anything is, twilight lacks reality. and this book single-handedly brings down the image women protray. all bella does is care about having a boyfriend she just forgets about her family and friends to be with some abusive stalker. edward is a douche. and jacobs a whine. all the characters lack any personality. twilight is shameful. harry potter promots diversity, friendship, courage,acceptance and the list continues. in harry potter not everyting is about having a boyfriend or girlfriend. The characters in hp have depth and meaning. The story is completely original and inspiring. Face it. Twilight is a faze, Harry Potter is a LIFESTYLE!

You all should see the twilight video spoof thing on youtube, made by key of awesome! so funny!
