Note: I did not write this, I found it off a website, and I don't want to offend anyone with it :)
Harry Potter auteur 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 écriture to attend the étoile, star studded event, where she was offered the opportunity to present an award with Twilight auteur Stephenie Meyer. On J.K Rowling's official website, she is quoted as saying that écriture 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 l’amour 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 global, ensemble 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 fantaisie 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 l’amour 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 l’amour 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.

Okay guys, I know everyone's got their own opinion and not everyone has the RIGHT opinion, but as a Twilight fan, can one of toi Potter fans explain what toi guys see in Harry Potter? Honestly, I haven't read all the books, but I've seen all the films and they just don't make any sense. And another thing, the plot is bland and there's no real depth to it, like in Twilight. Harry Potter, also has no l’amour in it, which makes for a boring story. Anyways, I just wanted to know what toi crazies see in those livres and stuff...
Okay...
See ya :D

Before toi all come out with pitchforks and guns, I'd just like to say this is my opinion.
1, Half of the fans only like Twilight, because they think Rob/Taylor is hot.
2, I can't argue about the plot because there isn't one.
3, Bella has no personaility.
4, Edward is just plain creepy.
5, Bella always needs a man in her life. When Edward leaves she needs Jacob. This is really stupid.
6,Bella wouldn't even look at Edward if he wasn't hot.
7, Edward wouldn't look at Bella if she didn't smell good.
8, It gives a bad message. Like kill yourself when your sparkly boyfriend is around. ou there is no point in being happy unless toi have a boyfriend. ou it's ok to ditch your Friends to rendez-vous amoureux, date a super hot vampire.
9,Meyer constantly repeats the same words to tell us how hot Edward is. This gets boring after two pages.
10, The actors suck.
There,ten reasons. Feel free to add on more.

"This Kiss between Hermione and Ron is highly anticipated, it's been building up for eight films now. And Harry Potter is not Twilight, toi know; we're not selling sex." - Emma Watson
If toi think Emma Watson is stupid for quoting this, toi are outta your mind. toi think Twilight's not selling sex? Irony. Irony how some twi-hards reason out "BECAUSE EDWARD CULLEN IS SO SEXY!!!" if asked why Twilight is better than Harry Potter.
For me, Twilight is just populaire 'cause it has sex appeal. Wait for several years, no one will be talking about Twilight anymore.. Harry Potter won't be talked about that much but it will never be forgotten.In my case, I know Harry Potter will be a future classic.
Twilight fans go ahead and attack me, whenever you're ready.

This article isn't mine, this is just an article I found on cracked.com (one of the best sites ever!). I agree with most of it, and on that note remember this is opion based, not fact. This is...*drumroll* if toi don't hate Twilight already, why toi SHOULD hate Twilight!
