POTTER OVER TWILIGHT ANY DAY.

This will now be a rant on why I love Harry Potter and why I dislike Twilight.

And how I will immediately lower my liking for you if you claim to like both. You just can't You're weird then.

Harry Potter...is amazing. (I'm more articulate when it comes to hating.) 7 amazing books, and even though the story might be a little cheesy and corny at times, it was a basic theme (good over evil) dazzled in magic. And it taught loads of things: bravery, courage, selflessness.

The first point I have to raise is HOW can anyone compare 3 Twilight books with 7 HP ones? That just isn't fair. More books, you're the winner. Because it's a much better explained story.
Before my laptop crashed this summer, I wrote a post saying that I was going to go see the last HP7 part in theatres. I did. It was frikkin awesome. You can't beat that. STEPHANIE MEYER, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

And what's Twilight about? Vampires. Hm. And about Bella being in love with one, and how she can't live without him. Well. Forgive me if this sounds like a normal soppy romance on the way. (Oh wait! It is.)

I tried watching Twilight once. First of all, everything was always either blue or black. The sky, the house, the environment. That turned me off. Secondly, Bella looked sleepy half the time. And it just seemed like a downer movie. Nothing was fun, or interesting. There was no humor. I was just gaping at the screen, and then turned it off. Never watched it again. I never even tried. 

Okay, I just realized that this is making me sound like a Twlight hater. Oops. 
Let me straighten this. Twilight is a series. A 3 part series. Just like millions of 3 part series out there. Maybe if I had given it a chance, I would've come to enjoy it. Reading the books, I mean. And to me, Twlight is like one of those series that you read, you like, you recommend, and move on. It doesn't seem like it should impact anybody (like it does).

What really drives me over the edge is when people compare Harry Potter with Twlight. Seriously?

IT IS INCOMPARABLE. You're comparing 7 series of books that began in 1993 and ended in 2010, with a 3 part series that was probably complete in 3 years max? 

You just can't. How can you? :/

Anyway.

I will always be the girl who, when she sees Robert Pattison, she'll scream ''Cedric!'' instead of Edward.
And will love Severus Snape with everything ever. He is so awesome. 



What about you? Potterhead or Twlightian? I won't judge. I love my followers. :)

I'm a Potterhead. I cry everytime I finish a book, I wrote fanfiction and I scoff when people say they're a fan when they haven't read the books. Twilight was okay-ish before it became big. The fans made it worse.

The last book seemed so ..."crowdpleaser" you know? And god, Bella is so pathetic in the book =.=

Enough ranting. Harry Potter ftw.

I love you. Seriously.

You are my official best friend.
hahaha.

I literally cried when the last movie was over. I looooved harry potter since I was like 8 years old. Grew up with it and everything. Read everybook cover to cover.

Twilight was interesting as a book. But such a fail as a movie. Harry Potter was awesome as a book and movie!

Beats twilight by a mile.

Go Potterheads!

I haven't read any of the twilight books, and only read 3.5 of the HP books.

@Daniyal: Good, stay neutral. :P Diplomat.

Hanis: POTTER FTW!

That girl: Oops. :P

Complications: The sentiments that us Potterheads feel is like what we feel for our families, right? Growing up with HP. It was the best part of our childhood <3

Nas: You deserve to stay your room and not eat or sleep until you've read EVERY Harry Potter book. I'm serious.

There are actually 4 Twilight books ya know ;)

I'm actually a fan of both, though obviously more of a fan of HP .. I grew up with that shizz!

But the Twilight books were amazing :) I got em when the first ever book literally just got published so I've got this loyalty thing for Meyer .. plus her fave band is Muse .. the woman obviously has good tastes in life ;)

I'm NOT a fan of thw Twilight movies. Never seen any of em. Not even in trailers .. okay well a few times, but I quickly moved away after the first few seconds. I can't stand reading - watching stuff .. books are almost ALWAYS better .. though the LOTR movie was super awesome cos of sexy Aragorn .. ANYWAY I DIGRESS.

Basically, I think Twilight has been bashed cos of the bullshit movies, and the stupid fanboys and fangirls -_-

I'm not a fan of the HP movies either btw :P though I have seen a few!

Cheerio x
