Note: I did not write this, I found it off a website, and I don't want to offend anyone with it :)

Harry Potter مصنف J.K Rowling has reportedly turned down the chance to present an award at this year's Oscars ceremony. She claims she is too busy writing to attend the سٹار, ستارہ studded event, where she was offered the opportunity to present an award with Twilight مصنف Stephenie Meyer. On J.K Rowling's official website, she is quoted as saying that writing is her main priority at the moment....but I can't help but wonder if it was Stephenie Meyer who was the reason behind her refusal.

Stephenie Meyer has been undeniably successful with the Twilight series about a teenage girl who falls in love with a vampire. However, between Stephenie Meyer and J.K Rowling, there is a severe imbalance of talent. Ms. Rowling created a whole new world based on mythology, magic and her own imagination. Ms. Meyer wrote a typical high school story based on the popularity of vampires.

The characters in the Harry Potter world are compelling, interesting and real. In Twilight everyone is overly perfect except for the main character who continually whines about her looks and mopes around waiting for her man.

Let's break it down.

Harry Potter

The مجموعی طور پر moral of the Harry Potter series is the understanding that it is our choices, not our abilities that shape who we become. J.K Rowling tells a story of a young boy forced to grow up too soon and along the way he learns the value of friendships, the importance of doing the right thing no matter how hard and he makes a lot of mistakes on the way. He suffers loss, faces challenges and tough choices and learns some heart-breaking things. While it is set in a fantasy world of magic, the characters are very much grounded in reality.

Twilight

If Twilight has a moral, I am at a loss for what it is. Average teenage girl has a crush on a perfect looking guy. Perfect looking guy notices average teenage girl and falls in love with her. Perfect looking guy turns out to be a vampire, and in order not to eat her, disappears with his family. Read about a million pages of her whining and moping, then enter good looking guy number two who is a werewolf. What follows is a long line of teenage girl "accidentally" stringing along the werewolf until her vampire love returns. None of this was totally unbearable until the last book. In spite of a huge lead up to some things which should have resulted in chaos, drama and excitement, nothing happened. Everything worked out without even a tiny bit of upset which leads, in my opinion, to a very shallow novel.

There is no contest. Harry Potter has depth, intrigue, excitement and thought provoking characters. J.K Rowling has written a phenomenal tale that will continue to be discussed and analysed for many years.

Twilight has a very weak leading character and gives out the belief that all women want to get married, crank out kids and live in a pretty cottage in the woods. I think Stephenie Meyer's world will quickly be forgotten when the hype fizzles out.

This is merely speculation and opinion of course, but if I were in J.K Rowling's position I'm not sure I would want any association with Stephenie Meyer, even if it was just at an awards ceremony.

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

Now I can start. May I just start سے طرف کی 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 شائقین say is that Bella is a مزید relatable character than Harry. I think that that is a good point because technically, آپ 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 یا 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 یا Rabid شائقین (thats obsessive Twilight fans, all of you): Don't read this. I don't want to get mauled یا drowned.
I apologize for any spelling یا 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 دن 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 مزید disappointed when I found out how Meyer was responding to the criticism towards it. Then I discovered that she was writing Midnight Sun. I looked آگے to that because, even though all of the کتابیں suck, they are a guilty pleasure and Twilight was the best of all of them. Then she stopped writing...

Dear friends,
This is my first attempt at writing a creative article. I've attempted the facebook page of HP, and hope آپ like it. Sorry for the lame humor, it's my very first time. Thanks for reading, and please drop in your comments, because I need your opinion. Thanks again.

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 تفصیل of the Edward and Bella (Edella یا 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 سیکنڈ thoughts about this whole thing between the rival series. According to this guy, he is very ashamed at the HP شائقین for attacking the Twilight شائقین 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 شائقین barley respond to the debates and articles, and it's because...

Ah, yes, Stephenie Meyer, مصنف 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 سال 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 مزید debate stuff and reasons why I think Twilight is better. Now that we're all دوستوں 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. آپ 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 writing 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 love
- Bella is horribly rude to her دوستوں (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 پہلے 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 کتابیں after their first impression. What they see may seem to point to that: I’m a fifteen سال 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, آپ know? And before آپ do anything, just to let آپ know, I FAIL at characterisation. So don't go all batshit on me if I get Hermione یا anyone else wrong, 'kay?

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 Christmas 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 آپ start reading, I'd like to say this is my personal opinion. Maybe I'm wrong. If I am, I'd appreciate آپ don't get mad because I don't like fighting. It wasn't meant to be rude, mean یا 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. Vampires exist, that's cool. آپ 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...

It's pretty obvious from just my نام کا صارف that I am a 'Twilighter',but I will try not to be biast in this article. So, lets compare the two...

Which made مزید money?

♥ The movie 'Twilight' made $69,637,740 in the USA and £2,508,422 in the UK, in its opening weekend. 'Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone/philosphers stone' made $90,294,621 in the USA and £16,335,627 in the UK, in its opening weekend.

♥ 'New Moon' in its opening weekend made $142,839,137 in the USA and £11,683,158 in the UK, whereas 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets' made $88,357,488 in the USA and £18,871,829 in...

I have researched the following and well, I am not really surprised about the results. But I still ask some questions.

Why is Twilight مزید "popular" when HP sold مزید than 400 million while Twilight only sold 53 million? Also, Twilight is just 45% in the ٹماٹر meter while HP is 83% in the ٹماٹر meter? Third, Twilight sold about $191,449,475 while HP sold about $283,879,025? Another is Twilight is never shown in Kid's almanacs (the World and Time yearly almanacs) while HP is seen may times over. Twilight fans, don't آپ see, HP is better even of آپ turn the world upside down یا inside out!...
