There’s No Magic School

Yeah, this is a pretty good reason as to why Twilight is better than Harry Potter. Each year, they didn’t have to go to a school to learn their powers. They already knew their powers. However, a school for vampires would have added a cool twist to it, don’t you think?

UPD:

One of the charms of the Twilight universe is the innate abilities that vampires and werewolves possess. They hone their skills through personal experience and mentorship rather than formal education. It brings a sense of realism and relatability, as everyone goes through the journey of self-discovery. Imagine having your vampire mentor casually drop hints on how to better control your thirst for blood while you're out shopping, instead of sitting in a classroom. Now, that's a fresh take on supernatural adolescence that feels uniquely Twilight!

Edward Wasn’t a Dork

Yeah, sometimes, dorks are cute. However, Harry was a bit too dorky and I can’t see why girls even liked him. I do like the stories, but I don’t really did the movies as much. However, I like both the books and movies when it comes to Twilight.

UPD:

Edward Cullen, with his enigmatic allure and vampire mystique, offered a stark contrast to the often awkward and self-deprecating Harry Potter. His confident yet tormented personality exuded a dark charm that many found irresistible. He was never clumsy with his words or actions, which made him appear suave and sophisticated. In essence, Edward epitomized the classic brooding hero, which is a trope that never fails to capture hearts. Coupled with his supernatural appeal and protective nature, it's no wonder he became the epitome of teenage fantasy and a romantic figure that didn't need to resort to dorkiness to be adored.

Love Story

Harry Potter is not a love story and Twilight is. Therefore, in my opinion, I believe this would make Twilight better than Harry Potter.

UPD:

The emotional core of Twilight hinges on the intense romance between Bella and Edward. Their relationship is fraught with drama, passion, and the thrill of forbidden love, which resonates with many readers, particularly those who relish the escapism of a good romance story. It's the kind of love affair that has fans fiercely invested in the characters' fates, debating Team Edward or Team Jacob, and swooning over their favorite moments. While Harry Potter does feature romantic subplots, they're just that—subplots, rather than the driving force of the narrative. Twilight, on the other hand, places love front and center, capturing the hearts of its audience in a way that's uniquely its own.

Twilight Has Vampires

I like Twilight because it has vampires in it. I think this helps to make it better than Harry Potter, don’t you? Even just a little?

UPD:

Vampires add a sense of forbidden allure and mystery that is undeniably attractive. Their timeless charm and complex nature give a romantic edge that's hard to find in other supernatural tales. And let's be honest, the vampire-human love story between Edward and Bella is a magnetic narrative that pulls at the heartstrings. Twilight showcases the dilemmas and passions that come with such an enthralling bond, making it positively irresistible! The idea of immortality mixed with romance is a combination that gives the saga an added level of depth and excitement, perfectly fueling the addiction to the series.

Better Story

Personally, I think Twilight was better than Harry Potter because it had a better story to it. Twilight always had my attention and even though I liked Harry Potter, I dealt with moments of boredom.

Those are 5 reasons Twilight is better than Harry Potter. I know there are some pretty big Harry Potter fans out there that will swamp my blog with saying Harry Potter is better, but that’s fine. Nothing wrong with Harry Potter. So, are you a Harry Potter fan or Twilight? Or Both?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

So you can only give us 5 reasons why Twilight is Better than Harry Potter? 1) What powers? The power to run fast, read minds or see the future? They're not really very original now are they? 2) Harry Potter doesn't revolve on how 'hot' the characters are. 3) Robert Pattinson said he'd rather play Cedric Diggory than Edward Cullen. He also stated that he mindlessly hates the Twilight series. 4)J.K Rowling may have been inspired by Greek mythology, the Lord of the rings ... she only adapted a subtle amount of these influences into her novels, whereas Meyer copied the exact romantic structure of Wuthering Heights and many other of L.J Smiths' ideas. 5)Vampires burn in the sunlight don't they? They don't sparkle, I can't comprehend why many girls my age go week at the knees when they see this. Surely the stereotype is girls sparkle. So why would they want their boyfriend to do it to? And come on, Vampires without fangs, isn't that just a deranged human? 6) Harry Potter incorporated some of the greatest actors of this century : Alan Rickman, Robbie Coltrane, Maggie Smith, Gary Oldman, Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes, Jason Isaacs.... 7) So many Twilight fanatics say that Harry Potter isn't a love story. Sure it may not be filled with make-out sessions and sexual references but it's filled with a genuine love. Lily Potter sacrificing herself to save her son. Severus Snape's love for Lily that never died. Ginny and Harry, Ron and Hermione, Neville and Luna (DHp2), Fleur and Bill, Remus and Tonks... Thats is real love. 8) Harry sacrificed himself to save the wizard and muggle world. Edward sacrificed... OH! He didn't he just wanted to die because he thought Bella was dead. Poor sod. 9) I read a lot. I've read both series and I was all 'hyped up' for the battle at the end of Breaking Dawn. But nothing happened. That kind of killed any last hope I had for that sad excuse for a book. 10) The popularity of HP caused Universities and Colleges to include a 'creative writing' course as one of their subjects. 11) If you watched K.Stewart collect her award for The best female performance, she made a stupidly immature comment along the lines of 'sorry Natalie but the popcorn is mine'. No and I repeat No actor should ever behave like that. It's utterly disrespectful to the other nominees and she also made a complete arse out of herself.

Okay, well let me say that while you seem more intelligent than many Twilight fans, you're still not the sharpest tool in the shed. 5) This is what adds another layer of depth to Harry Potter. In Twilight, all of the creatures are just like, "Yep, I'm a vampire/werewolf, and I immediately know how to use my power!" Just another reason it's unrealistic. 4) How in the world is Harry dorky? He wears glasses? Okay, well y'know, sometimes, these people are born and they can't see very well. And they were sad, and usually died because they couldn't hunt or anything because they couldn't see. And then, society advanced, and eventually someone came up with these things called glasses! And now those people can see! I personally think Harry values his ability to see more than his lack of dorkiness, don't you agree? 3) Because the most important thing in life is to have a boyfriend, mhm. 2) Harry Potter has vampires in it as well. While they're not as prominently featured, they show up in almost every book. 1- Professor Quirrell kept garlic in his classroom to fend off vampires. 2- One of Gilderoy Lockhart's books is called Voyages with Vampires. 3- Ron and Hermione find blood-flavoured lollipops in Honeydukes, intended for vampires. 5- One of the answers to a question in the OWL's has to do with vampires. 6- Sanguini, a vampire, shows up to one of Slughorn's parties. Really, I'm surprised you could miss them, there are so many. 1) I don't see how you think Twilight has a better story. Let me summarize their two plots. TWILIGHT: Bella falls in love, she wants to be a vampire, Edward leaves, she jumps of a cliff, she turns into a vampire, has a baby, and never actually fights the Volturi. HARRY POTTER: Book one- Harry has to save a stone that gives endless life and wealth from Quirrel. Book two- a secret chamber is discovered and Harry has to battle a basilisk to save the school. Book three- an escape from prison and a discovery that, in fact, the man Harry thought was dead is alive, and an unexpected ally is found in Sirius Black. Book four- a competition turns out to be twisted, and Harry, the winner, ends up having to fight in a graveyard and see 'ghosts' of his parents. Book five- Harry finds out about a secret society called the Order of the Phoenix, and a new menace comes to terrorize Hogwarts, even managing to drive out Dumbledore with her abuse of power. Book six- several attempted murders occur within the school, and Harry is whisked off to a faraway lake where he and Dumbledore find a Horcrux, in one final battle Harry's long-time mentor is killed. Book seven- bits of information pulled from all six of the previous books come together and form a thrilling conclusion in which Harry has his final battle with Lord Voldemort, and is, after dying and being resurrected, victorious. Differences? I think yes.

I'm not going to hate on you just because you like Twilight better, but I'll just say, Twilight is new. And there's hype because the characters happen to be attractive. Harry Potter is older. And people still love it. And you know what? I'll bet in 100 years, they still will. My best friend grew up reading the first book as a bedtime story, and read the rest. That's when I read it. And I fell in love. In 100 years, Twilight will be forgotten.

Haters gona hate, like always. And ofcourse you are alowed to hate twilight. But I am of the opinion that you are giving quite lame reasons for thinking twilight is better. 5. What fun are powers if they automaticly function right. learning is fun, and developing more skills makes a story or character more believable. 4.Glasses don't automaticly mean dork. Harry was an adorable little boy at the start and a fabulouse men in the end. He translated how many teenagers grow up... better then Bella does 3.A lovestory isn't automaticly a better story then a story that has a lot of different elements 2.Come on, vampire's don't sprakle! 1. Harry Potter has more plot, so it is 'sientificly' a better story (I say sientificly because this is how story's are objectively judged)

There is a reason she only has 5 reasons.

I honestly love harry potter so much I've read the series a zillion times, I like twilight, but I just don't like how everyone is so caught up in the paranormal romances that is the 21st century, I know that some of Harry Potter was written in the 21st century but it is not a romance and I love that. I've always wanted to be a writer and I just feel that J.K Rowling wrote her series better then Stephanie Meyer. If you don't like what I wrote then please don't comment.

and mystery!
