Edward, realistically, would be extraordinarily unattractive, and I would find almost any male character more attractive even if he was as pretty as Meyer claims because Edward's awful personality would be a huge turn-off. Hermione alone would own all the female Twilight characters - add Luna, Ginny, McGonagall, Molly and Tonks into that and the likes of Alice Cullen don't stand a chance.



Harry Potter's main focus wasn't romance at all, and yet it was universes ahead of Twilight in the romance stakes. Edward and Bella's relationship is glorified abuse, and no Twilight relationship seems to be based on much more than looks. Ron and Hermione's relationship built up slowly and realistically, while Harry and Ginny are, for a while, far more a pair of star-crossed lovers than Edward and Bella could ever imagine being.



It goes without saying that Harry Potter was more exciting, and since Meyer was scared of writing fight scenes, clearly Harry Potter claims that one too. The Voluturi, James and Victoria were a bunch of pansies compared to Voldemort and the Death Eaters. Harry Potter sucked me in more due to its infinitely better plot, and my cat could probably write better than Meyer. She'd certainly misuse less words.



Meyer didn't create a world - she bent all her own rules to make Bella the most special little Mary Sue ever. Barely any of the details she gave about her concept of vampires made sense.



Harry Potter is very witty. Meyer's attempts at humour tend to fail miserably. Take the horrendous albino joke at the beginning of the first book, for instance, and Bella's violent comments which become so frequent that you begin to wonder if she is in fact psychotic.



Harry Potter is undoubtedly the best overall, and the films are good for actual quality entertainment, rather than laughing at how hilariously bad it is.



Or, to cut a long story short - "Harry Potter" to every single one.

Which has the hottest male (does not have to be Edward or Harry)?

Harry Potter ;) I love Draco Malfoy and Tom Riddle.



Which has the greatest female character (once again doesn't have to be between Hermione and Bella)?

Harry Potter because it had Hermione and Luna.



Which was more romantic?

Twilight because it is a romance novel haha.



Which was more exciting/thrilling?

Harry Potter because the plot of an evil wizard and a school of magic is waaaayyy more exciting than a romance between a girl and a vampire.



Which had the best fight scene?

Definitely Harry Potter...the fight scenes in Twilight weren't very good.



Which had the scarier bad guy?

Harry Potter...Voldemort and the death easters are scarier than any Twilight characters haha



Which book sucked you into it more?

Harry Potter because it was the series that got me reading and it's such an addictive story!



Which had the best plot?

Harry Potter because that plot was waaayyy more epic!



Which was better written?

Harry Potter...Twilight drags on too much at times.



Which creates the most magical world?

Harry Potter because I can't see anything magical about Twilight...it's a romance novel.



Which is the best series overall?

Harry Potter because it has far more to offer.



Which is the best movie adaptation?

Harry Potter definitely...I didn't like the Twilight movie

Which has the hottest male (does not have to be Edward or Harry)?

Harry Potter. Oliver Wood makes me hot. Edward Cullen makes me vomit



Which has the greatest female character (once again doesn't have to be between Hermione and Bella)?

Harry Potter. Good role models. Twilight bad role models



Which was more romantic?

Harry Potter. I find Ron and Hermione's and Harry and Ginny's relationship to be true romance. Bella/Edward is just fake and cliche.



Which was more exciting/thrilling?

Harry Potter. I couldn't stop reading the entire time, even after numerous rereadings. Twilight was like watching paint dry.



Which had the best fight scene?

Harry Potter. In Twilight there's like... one fight scene. Every book has an anti-climatic ending. While GoF, OotP, HBP and DH fight scenes make me orgasm.



Which had the scarier bad guy?

Harry Potter. Voldemort scares me to pieces. Is there even a bad guy in Twilight? Oooohhh Victoria, scary.



Which book sucked you into it more?

Harry Potter. I started reading the second one first (this was before the hype and I didn't even realise). I'd never bought a book before and I made my mum go out and buy the box set (all three books that were out). Twilight I read them all within a few days. But only because I wanted to see how ridiculous it could get



Which had the best plot?

Harry Potter. Does Twilight even have plot? Harry Potter has an amazing plot spanning over 7 books



Which was better written?

Harry Potter. JK Rowling intertwines foreshadowing, mythology and can actually write well. While SMeyer writes likes she's swallowed a thesaurus and obviously doesn't understand the definition of purple prose



Which creates the mos magical world?

Harry Potter. Harry Potter has an entire world. Twilight has "omg vampires"



Which is the best series overall?

Harry Potter is the best series I've ever read. Twilight the worst. Simple as



Which is the best movie adaptation?

Harry Potter. I love the movies for their own merits. Twilight was a terrible adaption of a terrible book. Not goo



Most humourous?

Harry Potter. I don't recall laughing once in Twilight. Numerous times I was rolling around laughing in Harry Potter





Incase you can't tell I really like Harry Potter. Twilight not so much

Harry Potters - there are a lot of good looking ones there,I like the imperfect kind of good looks.



Harry Potter - Bella doesn't do anything except cause trouble, while Hermione and the other girls fight and come out as their own heroes.They don't need a man to save them.



Twilight - Harry Potter's romance is quite subtle.



Harry Potter - there is a lot of action and there are a lot of unexpected twists.



Harry Potter - it's because you never know who's going to win,while Twilight seems like its so obvious that the good guys are gonna win.



Harry Potter - I mean come on he has no noes,people can barely say his name, and he cut his own soul to become immortal.



Harry Potter - the world of Harry Potter is just so enchanting,the characters, the dialogue, the set,the plot,they all contributed to make this series irresistible.



Harry Potter - the plot is something you can follow,yet,it has a lot of unexpected twists and it is so interesting and its a story you just have to finish.



Harry Potter - J.K.Rowling writes beautifully,descriptive but not to wordy,deep but not confusing,artistic but expressed well.



Harry Potter - Stephanie Meyer created creatures with histories and rules,it was a world.But the books mainly focused on the main characters,to me it didn't feel like she create a new world.

J.K.Rowling, she created a magical world with people who had a different perspective and lived a different lifestyle.It's a completely different world but it has the same problems as our world.



Harry Potter - read all of the reasons above.



Harry Potter - the actors portrayed the characters well,the visual effects, and sets made it more like the book.



Harry Potter - Twilight isn't funny at all.Its funny moments....aren't funny.Harry Potter has witty dialogue and there is almost always some humor present.
2009-03-19 01:34:20 UTC
Ooh, I like this game!



Hottest Male - Harry Potter.

How can you deny the gorgeousness that is Tom Felton?



Best Female Character - Harry Potter.

Hermione Granger is the epidimy of fantastic female character. She works for everything she has, and even though she's had feelings for Ron ever since book 4, she went on with her life, and didn't turn into a blubbering zombie when he didn't notice.



Bella, on the otherhand, falls to pieces when the amazing Edward Cullen leaves her, and only comes back to her senses when she finds a replacement. And, she doesn't work for anything at all.



More Romantic - Twilight.

Gross, fictional romance.



More Exciting/Thrilling - Harry Potter.

The action in HP was REAL. Impossible to put down.

I could visualize everything in my head, and see it happen.

Twilight? Not so much.



Best Action Scene - Harry Potter.

See above.



Scarier Bad Guy - Harry Potter.

If Voldy was after me, I'd shxt my pants.



Sucked Me In More - Harry Potter.

It was the first novel I'd ever read, granted. But even when I was a little kid, I picked it up, and couldn't put it down. It hasn't changed to this day. Admittedly, though, when I was around 8 years old, and going through my 5th or 6th time through the first book, I'd skip the beginning chapters until after the sorting.



Best Plot - Hary Potter.

While we all knew that at the end of every book, there was going to be a Voldemort drama, leading up to the climax, there were all sorts of subplots involved. Hermione and SPEW, Harry and Ginny, Ron and Lavender, Felix Felicious (sp), etc. Plus everything Alex said (:



Better Written - Harry Potter

Common sense. No explination needed.



Creates Most Magical World - Harry Potter

Not only did JK Rowling create a whole world, but she created everything from the myths to the currency, the clothing to the slang. It's fantastic. How she did it, I'll never know.



Best Series Overall - Harry Potter

Again, no explination needed.



Movie Adaptation - Harry Potter

Did you SEE Twilight?

My God.

While the Harry Potter movies may not have been spot on, it was nothing compared to what Twilight subjected us to. That was just awful.



Amusing - Harry Potter

Can't put it down, even now, when I've read it like, a billion times.

Twilight was okay the first time through. I read it again, and could hardly finish it was so awful. You pick things out the second time around, like.. "Marble, marble, granite, stone, stone, granite, snarl, snarl, chagrin, chagrin"

Hottest male -- well EVERY vampire in twilight can only be described as beautiful, perfect, or dazzling whereas characters in Harry Potter are human and have actual flaws so i guess twilight

Greatest female -- Harry Potter, the entire cast of HP is full of funny, smart, and interesting characters. Twilight's are all bland and one-dimensional

Most romantic -- Twilight, its what the whole series is about. But i find what little romance that is in Harry Potter is more in depth and believable

More exciting -- Harry Potter

best fight scene -- Harry Potter, all of twilight's bored me

scarier bad guy -- Harry Potter, voldemort is so pure evil, never loved anybody

sucked me in more -- Harry Potter, twilight i had to force myself to finish, couldnt bring myself to read the sequels

best plot -- Harry Potter by no small margin, its so much more epic

better written -- Harry Potter (to say otherwise is just ignorant)

most magical world -- Harry Potter no contest

best series -- Harry Potter

best movie adaption -- Well both were pretty terrible in my opinion, but Harry Potter had better starting material so ill for that



Edit: Adding most humorous, Harry Potter. Seeing as Twilight is from Bella's point of view, nothing is funny. It's all melodramatic and depressing even when it doesn't have to be

I think that they are very different so I could love both at the same time.....I mean......They are really different. In plot, romance, and characters. I would have to say I like the way Harry Potter was written though. Rowlings gave everything a lot of thought. Up to personalities and how green the grass is. I helps me be able to picture it. In Twilight, which I also love, they should expand some on stuff. Have it not just be about Bella and Edward. Other things should be going on in that world to. Like how in HP he still goes to school, deals with teachers, has friends, and ect. while fighting in a war that practically surrounds him. Twilight is a little bit to predictable though... But they are very different, and I love them both differently. :]

1)Harry Potter (Fred/George Weasley. Oh, and Bill. And Lee Jordan. And Ron. I mean, seriously?!?!)

2)Harry Potter (Hermione)

3)Neither. HAVE to choose: Harry Potter

4)HARRY POTTER

5)...really? Twilight had one of those? Wait, don't care...Harry Potter.

6)...*refer to answers 1-5

7)Both. Harry Potter by fascination, Twilight by horror and confusion and...ugh.

8) Harry Potter. Way more creative. And eoncouraged healthy, non abusive relationships.

9)Harry Potterrrrrrrr...

10)Ha! Twilight wouldn't know magic if it kicked it in the ass. Wait, that happened? Oh...fail.

11)HARRY. POTTER.

12) BOTH. Harry Potter because they're good (although not good as the books). Twilight because it was horribly hilarious.



***more hilarious? Twilight.

And not in a good way.

Harry Potter(tom riddle in the books and in chamber of secrets[movie]...he was..ahhhhhh~)

Hermione(Harry Potter)

Twilight- It pains me to pick this deformed appearance-based romance, but this is really what Twilight only managed to spit out. I gave up during Eclipse.

Harry Potter, though Twilight has some pretty casts.



Overall, Harry Potter is better written, well structured, more out-of-this-world-without-being-weird. In my opinion, Meyer tried too hard



and the most humerous pick for me would definitely be Harry Potter. There were many times when the stuff Ron, Fred and George said, and many other things cracked me up. In Twilight however I tried to stay interested in the first book, forced myself through the second, and gave up during the third.
