Harry Potter beats Twilight. Of course. But I really don't like it when HP những người hâm mộ use opinion-ated "facts" when saying WHY Harry Potter is the better movie series. So, I, who am a major Potterhead, put together 7 true, solid, hard, and undeniable facts about certain aspects of the two movie series to prove why Harry Potter is the ultimate series.
**I will only be discussing the movies**
1) Soundtrack
Listen to this wonderful and memorable theme song. As bạn may have guessed, the theme song belogs to Harry Potter : link
Now listen to this: link
It's pretty, but it doesn't find a special place in your tim, trái tim like HP's does. (BTW, this isn't one of my 7 facts, but finding just this lilnk took me about 30 min. Doesn't that prove that the majority of audiences prefer HP better, since I found the HP theme song in about... let's see... 2 seconds?)
2) Casting
Alan Rickman as Severus Snape
Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange.
Maggie Smith as Minerva McGonagall.
Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter
Emma Watson as Hermione Granger
Rupert Grint as Ronald Weasley
Gary Oldman as Sirius Black
The actors mentioned above are all in Harry Potter, and are all one of the hàng đầu, đầu trang 30 actors in THE WORLD. Kristen Stewart, Rob Pattinson, and Jacob Black, who are three most important actors in the Twilight movie series. are wayyyy off the list. The actors in Twilight... well, let's just say that the diễn xuất is a bit stale.
3) Visual Effects
Please, people, have bạn SEEN the visual effects in HP?
HP's visual effects: link
Harry Potter's visual effects are wonderful; filled with action, realistic details, and fantastic elements that Twilight could never achieve.
Twilight's visual effects: They are SO bad, I couldn't even find a link on YouTube. Sure, there were thousands of video titled "Worst Visual Effects in Twilight" but not a single one complimenting Twilight's visual effects.
4) Storyline
Harry Potter's plot is about a wizard who goes through may dramatic and unforgettable (not necessarily in a good way) adventures, which all lead up to the point where he finds out that he must be the one to kill the Darkest wizard of all time.
Twilight's plot is about a girl who has chẻ, phân chia, split feeling about who she loves. She tries not to get killed. Then she has a kid with one of those guys. Then they try not to get killed again. The end.
But I have to say, both are very original, but Harry Potter's storyline is much thêm timeless and appeals to a wider range of audience.

See? Even though Twilight is được ưa chuộng amongst its fans, the pros are not so impressed. I mean HP 7 P2 even got a rare 96% and a rare 8.1 rating!! That's amazing.
In Conclusion. Many Twilighters argue that Twilight has had a bigger box office sucess, but that's not true. The least ticket-selling HP movie (#3) earned thêm money than the best selling Twilight movie (#4part2). Besides, numbers aren't everything. They don't make the film better. It just proves that Twilight has thêm người hâm mộ girls. Which also doesn't improve the film's tổng thể quality. Some argue that RobPattz is hotter than Daniel Radcliffe. Well, first of all, that has nothing to do with the MOVIE, and second, him being attractive doesn't help the film either. Please feel free to leave your opinions in the các bình luận below, but please no hating comments. It's mean, hurtful, and silly. Thanks for reading.

It was a crisp autumn eve on the Hogwarts express. Albus, James and Rosie where eating cauldron cakes and goofing off, when suddenly an owl soared bởi and tapped furiously on the glass. Albus opened the window and the owl burst in and stuck out its leg at Albus. Albus unstrapped the note attached to its leg. The owl stared into Albus' eyes and glared.
Then without another backwards glance it took off. "What does it say?" đã đưa ý kiến Rosie who looked terrified. Albus read aloud "potter, if bạn ever want to see your parents again bạn will meet me outside the shrieking shack at midnight on Halloween." "Its signed lord Voldemort" đã đưa ý kiến James.
"This doesn't add up" đã đưa ý kiến Rosie. " well we will have to discuss this later because now’s the sorting." Albus said. “cross your fingers that we all get in the same house." đã đưa ý kiến James. "We will!" they all đã đưa ý kiến in unison.
