Logical reasons...
why Harry Potter v.s Twilight

*WARNING SPOILERS*

Hi! I'm Cinnominbubble and I have noticed the war between fandoms have been going on for a while with no clear outcome. There is a reason to this-We are stubborn. Twihards want to stick up for Stephanie Meyer, whilst Potterheads want to do the same for J. K. Rowling. But, I have noticed something. Many of our reasonings aren't exactly logical. I mean, not to be offensive, some of our strongest points are downright idiotic!(from both sides) I'd like to come up with some smarter points to help people see our side of the story, whatever that side may be! It would do well to expect thêm of these in the future because of all the idiocy going around.(Again, not to be offensive)

I am a người hâm mộ of Harry Potter but I'd like to acknowledge both sides to the story. People will be yelling at me at the end of this, so in advance, I say sorry for anything offensive.

-First off, I'd just like to say to bạn twihards, Harry Potter came first in 1998, whereas Twilight came out in 2005, I believe. So J.K Rowling did not copy Stephanie Meyer. I am in possession of both these series' and though Jacob and Sirius both have the same last name, and can both transform into dog-like figures, that is where the similarities stop. Sirius Black is a prisoner escaped from the wizard prison, Azkaban, where he was placed under false pretences. He is an old friend of Harry's parents, and is also Harry's godfather. He is only able to become a dog because he is an animagus, a witch hoặc wizard with the ability to transform into a certain animal at will. He became an Animagus illegally in order to help his friend, Remus Lupin, who was a werewolf, through those bleak nights where there was a full moon. ma sói only attack humans and so Sirius was only an toàn, két an toàn while in his dog form. Jacob Black on the other hand, is not a real werewolf. In Breaking Dawn, his species is called Shape-shifters as Aro says himself. He is only a shape-shifter because it runs in his family and... Yah. That subject all cleared up? I hope so.

-I have heard people saying that Twilight is a better tình yêu story but there's an easy answer to that... Harry Potter isn't a tình yêu story. Sure, if bạn are into that genre, go for Twilight, but is not fair to say that Harry Potter is a bad book just because it's not a romance novel.

-Yah, ok the Harry Potter characters have flaws! Bella and Rosalie seem to be the only ones with flaws in the entire series, Bella's being her disability to understand what goes on around her sometimes, and Rosalie's being over-the-top-jeolosy... Those don't even seem like flaws! Harry's cast on the other hand, has plenty of flaws. Hermione with her buck-teeth and bad posture, Mrs. Weasley with her over-protectiveness et cetera. But as someone in history said, Flaws are what give your character, well, character! There are plenty of people in Harry Potter with less flaws(Cho, Cedric, et al.) but flaws none the less. So again, if bạn prefer sách where bạn characters are close to perfect, be my guest and read Twilight. I personally found the characters thêm relatable,(mainly Hermione) with their flaws and anger management issues.

Now I know I haven't addressed most of the major questions, but I honestly can't remember anymore(it's 10:06 PM, I just came trang chủ from piano! Cut me some slack please...wow I whine a lot!) Feel free to give me feedback, các câu hỏi and requests for my tiếp theo article(this is my first for Logical Reasons) Go ahead, tell me how bad it is, cant get any worse than what I (or Ralph[inside joke]) tell myself:D I will chỉnh sửa to accommodate all new questions, unless I get an overflow of questions. I will create an bài viết for any point, if logical and/or if I understand/know of it. Since this is my first, I don't expect much. Just, if bạn have any negative comments(Twihards, if I wrote something wrong etc.)tell me in non huy hiệu form(don't be angry)

Yours in demigodishness, and all that. Peace Out!

Ok, well I'm going to be perfectly respectful in this bài viết because I don't want to make anyone mad, I just want to make a point. If bạn agree hoặc disagree with it, that's up to you. Please don't be rude inthe bình luận section, and give reasons for opinions. Thanks!

Now I can start. May I just start bởi saying that I am on the Harry Potter side (with all due respect to Twilight fans)

I've noticed that one of the things Twilight những người hâm mộ say is that Bella is a thêm relatable character than Harry. I think that that is a good point because technically, bạn can be a normal teenager who goes to school...

Some people (not necessarily Americans) have admitted having trouble with the British words in Harry Potter. To solve this problem, I give you...An Americans Guide to British words!

1) Prat
Someone who is described as being dumb hoặc self centered. Usually acts against logic.
e.x. Jeez, Roldolfo is such a prat!

2) Git
Basically, a jerk. Shallow and/or childish.
e.x. Look at that git, strutting around like he owns the place!

3) Err...
The British equivalent of umm...
e.x. "Errr.... is it 42?"

4) Barmy
Insane/Crazy.
e.x. That old mans gone barmy!

5.) Blast
Equivalent to "Dang!"
e.x. Blast! Some git's taken...

Twihards hoặc Rabid những người hâm mộ (thats obsessive Twilight fans, all of you): Don't read this. I don't want to get mauled hoặc drowned.
I apologize for any spelling hoặc grammar errors.
Don't get me wrong- I like Twilight just fine. However, many parts of it really annoyed me. Here are my reasons why I liked Harry Potter better.

1. Characters.
Lets compare:
Lead female role in HP: Hermione Granger. Flaws: a bit nerdy, Know-it-all, and Bossy. Good traits: Stood up for herself (as well as think for herself), worked against racism (for house-elves), was loyal to Harry at all times, and didn't try to kill herself...

I got Breaking Dawn on the ngày that it came out and was hoping that Meyer would somehow redeem the steadily deteriorating quality of the Twilight series. What a huge disappointment. I was even thêm disappointed when I found out how Meyer was responding to the criticism towards it. Then I discovered that she was nghề viết văn Midnight Sun. I looked phía trước, chuyển tiếp to that because, even though all of the sách suck, they are a guilty pleasure and Twilight was the best of all of them. Then she stopped writing...

Dear friends,

Now to anyone of the teensy-beensy minority that has never heard of Twilight's male protagonist, Edward Cullen, he supposedly a vampire that falls in deep "love" with a human girl named Bella.

Now I must object to this mô tả of the Edward and Bella (Edella hoặc Bedward, lol). While the relationship is described as being true love, I personally think that the relationship is any BUT deep, true love. It is, in my, along with many other fanpoppers, opinion that this relationship is extraordinarily unhealthy and codependent, and that Edward's supposed "love" is obsessive love.

Obsessive love:...

Today, I read a post from "youknowit101" on "1000 Reason why Twilight is better than harry Potter", and it completley gave me một giây thoughts about this whole thing between the rival series. According to this guy, he is very ashamed at the HP những người hâm mộ for attacking the Twilight những người hâm mộ and how immature they are, and to be honest, I now couldn't agree more. He's right, HP fans, we are the immature ones, not the Twilighters. We Potterheads are taking HP for granted and using it to rub it in other people's faces.

Now I see why Twilight những người hâm mộ barley respond to the debates and articles, and it's because...

Ah, yes, Stephenie Meyer, tác giả of the Twilight series. My opinion of her, from the way that she has presented herself to the public in interviews and such, is that she is a whiny, self absorbed woman with the mind of a 13 năm old. She can't deal with criticism because it hurts her delicate little feelings, and believes that she is an amazing writer and that her story and characters are somehow superior to those seen in the works of people such as Jane Austen and William Shakespeare. Here's one statement that shows that...

Okay, so a lot of people have been asking that I put thêm thảo luận stuff and reasons why I think Twilight is better. Now that we're all Những người bạn and don't hate eachother anymore, I hope we can all have a reasonable debate.

But before I start, I want to say that I don't compleatley hate Harry Potter anymore. I saw the Deathly Hallows today, my friend is somewhat of a fan, and wanted to see it. I reluctaintly went with her, and it actually wasn't that bad. bạn see, I read the first-fourth Harry Potter books, and read most of the seventh. The Deathly Hallows movie was much better than the book in...

Hello everyone!

I'm planning on nghề viết văn a letter to Stephenie Meyer regarding the Twilight series. I wanted to address all the points many people do not like in the series. The letter is going to be friendly and straight-forward. I wanted to hear what everyone would want me to include. These are a few of the topics I am going to be including:

- Anti-feminism
- Abusive relationship
- Unhealthy obsession
- Lust does not equal tình yêu
- Bella is horribly rude to her Những người bạn (not valued friendships)

These are just a few. Please add anything and if there is something specific you'd like me to add.

I'll be working on this letter and posting on Sunday on Fanpop, so I can add anything else and have your approval and then I will send it to her.
I understand that Seth probably won't let it get to her, but it's worth a shot and I will post his reply (assuming he does reply.)

Thank you! :)

I wrote this a while cách đây for my English class. We had to write about something we felt strongly about, and I feel very strongly about this, so...

Many people think that I would be an avid Twilight lover and a hater of the Harry Potter sách after their first impression. What they see may seem to point to that: I’m a fifteen năm old girl who devours books, is a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic, loves all things vampire related, and I wear a ton of black. In reality, this couldn’t be far from the truth. It is actually the complete opposite. I absolutely despise anything Twilight related...

A/N: I just thought it would be an interesting subject, bạn know? And before bạn do anything, just to let bạn know, I FAIL at characterisation. So don't go all batshit on me if I get Hermione hoặc anyone else wrong, 'kay?

Today, on the 17th of October, the court session for the famous "Meyer Case" was initiated. Stephenie Meyer, founder of Twilight, inc., the billion-dollar advertising company, was arrested on several charges, including: allegations of fraud charged bởi worldwide companies Feminism, inc., 3D pwns 2D, and Literature n Books; the murder of various brain cells; abuse and rape of thesarus,...

There once was this girl named Bri, who had a best friend (for this article, we'll call her Z). Bri and Z had identical taste in books. So, when Z gave Bri Twilight for giáng sinh and told her how “great” it was and kept going on and on. She tried to convince Bri that it was better than Harry Potter (the book Bri had been obsessed with since she was nine) but Bri didn't believe that at all. Still, if Z liked it, then Bri knew she would like it. She had no hesitation when she cracked the binding. She was hooked.

Now, this was before Twilight grew to be psychotically massive, so when Bri came...

Before bạn start reading, I'd like to say this is my personal opinion. Maybe I'm wrong. If I am, I'd appreciate bạn don't get mad because I don't like fighting. It wasn't meant to be rude, mean hoặc hurtfull to anybody.

For me Twilight was too easy to read. I could predict what would happen and the plot was too easy. The thing is, the plot isn't bad. ma cà rồng exist, that's cool. bạn know one, yes, very cool. But the way Stephenie Meyer introduces it, how she developed her characters, how she modeled the vampire species, that is where Twilight gets people annoyed. It represent the iceburg that...
