Oh yeah! Twilight is better simply because it not only is about scary vampires and wolves, but is also centered around love which pulls at every readers heart strings and makes every reader feel for Bella and Edward. Harry Potter however, is just a silly fan fiction about wizards and muggles, and I can argue this because I have read the first book. It's not bad, but I wasn't necessarily dying to find out what happened next, so I didn't read the next one, because I didn't care for what would happen next in the series. Twilight is better. Side: Twilight
realy i don't see what is so wrong with this argument. Like really i didn't bash anyone... and really if you have seen the movies they can't act at all but the book is amazing and i could never think that harry potter could compare becuz you have to think to much to bring together what is happening and there a too many charactors. Side: Harry Potter

I thought this debate was a joke. No offense to any Twilight lovers, but seriously? I've read quite a bit into each series (as much as I loath to admit) and the winner is blatantly obvious, even despite the fact that I'm a fan of neither. Reading through Twilight, I really just wanted to get it over with (I'm one of those people who bought it just to find out what the craze was about); it honestly felt like I was reading one of those cheesy fanfiction stories. The authors idea of 'love' is based solely on lust; for a woman in her forties, this is pathetic. Not only that, but I wanted to kill almost every single lead character in the story- especially angsty, self-pitying 'oh, my life is so hard!' Bella, and the obsessive, overly controlling dick named Edward. If you want a good 'vampire' romance novel, I'd suggest giving "Let the Right One In" a try; it's a million times better, focuses on more than just appearances, and actually reaches a realistic emotional level. Now, Harry Potter might have started out for a younger audience, but the books themselves actually grew up along with the people who were reading them. The writing style is definitely more sophisticated, the characters are likable (sometimes even relate-able), and the plots are a lot more complex than what they would initially appear to be. That's my opinion anyway; I won't down you for yours. Side: Harry Potter
Harry Potter is children's literature which can also be enjoyed by more mature audiences, as it is written in an elegant and developed style. Twilight - which I haven't read past the first several chapters of the first book because I couldn't stand to read more - is purely children's/teen's fiction. It sounds unmistakably childish when read by someone used to reading quality adult fiction. Side: Harry Potter
