5. 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?
***
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!
4. 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.
***
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.
3. 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.
***
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.
2. 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?
***
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.
1. 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?

Anonymous: In 10 years, twilight will be forgotten. In 100 years, Harry Potter books will still be known as the best books of all time. You gave five incredibly wimpy reasons. I hated the twilight series, no one likes porn and all that shit. Harry potter was age-appropriate, I'm eleven and I'm saying this. Twilight is for the people who are to retarded to read harry potter, like you. I bet you saw the movie......twilight sucks, I'll say that. There was no plot, she randomly threw in hese other big evil vampires, a baby, and a messed up plot. Stephanie m. Only has readers because the story has sex in it. Pervs.
Brooke: #5- the magic school is the best part #4-Edward may not have been a dork, but he was a stalker #3-there is a perfectly good amount of romance in HP #2-there are vampires in HP too (Fenrir Greyback remember?) #1- What world are you living in?
Grendel: Now, this is just senseless... Of course Harry and the Gang are better than Edward 'Disco Ball' Cullen! I know, I know, Eddiekins is your 'mister perfect' and I totally understand that girls want to find their 'one guy', but seriously... If you ask me, I think the Harry Potter series have a lot of character than the Twilight saga. J.K Rowling has taken a child's concept and turned it into her own mature, whimsical universe for adults and children alike. Also, Rowling's characters are undeniably believable, with excellent character development as the series progresses. Twilight on the other hand has extremely dull and flat characters. Bella is a mere damsel-in-distress, who is not at all independent and always needs a big strong vampire with overdeveloped muscles to save her. I don't know what you think, but I like women who can stick up for themselves and make their own decisions. I like girls who can fight back! Bella, unfortunately does not fit either description. Next, there is the overall plot which is absolutely nonexistent. The whole series is just like a big slow motion sequence in a movie where the man and the woman stare at each other romantically, while giving heavy doses of overcomplicated vocabulary. Merciless rape of a thesaurus, does NOT a writer make. In other words you can take the Twilight Saga and shove them up a monkey's ass; he'll find a better use for them...
