Twihards ou Rabid fans (thats obsessive Twilight fans, all of you): Don't read this. I don't want to get mauled ou drowned.
I apologize for any spelling ou 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 when Ron dated Lavender. (Though she did try to maim Ron)
Lead female role in TS: Bella Swan. Flaws: Mary-Sue, easily-depressed, boyfriend was everything in her life. Good Traits: Good Sense of humor (kinda), loyal (though mainly to Edward, ditched all her Friends for him)
I pick: Hermione. She proves that your soul mate can't define you, and that sometimes toi have to do whats right, even if no-one agrees with you.
2. Themes
Thats "moral" everyone.
HP teaches: bravery, Hermione-Morals as I call them (see above), loyalty, friendship matters and will help toi through life, and to stick up for yourself. (Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle, Anyone?)
TS teaches: True l’amour conquers all (not a bad theme, in all, but could use improving),umm...well theres...wait...no, thats basically the whole plot.
3. Writing
HP: Gives just enough info and description to keep toi interested.
E.x. Okay, this is a very, VERY crappy example but: "'Ha ha, Harry, toi suck.' a dit Malfoy. 'I can tell why your parents would rather die than stay with you'"
Told toi it was crap. Wasn't in the book, trust me.
TS: So much description. So much. Honestly, I don't care if Alice is wearing a rose dress with white unicorn embroidery and has a saffron bow in her ebony black hair. (Not a real example) TS écriture will occasionally switch between past and present tense.
4. Fans
Disclaimer Guaranteed to start a shit-storm if toi don't read the whole thing.
For plus info, Google "100 reasons why Harry Potter is better than Twilight" and "1000 reasons why Twilight is better than Harry Potter"
HP fans: State their reasons for liking Harry Potter simply, only minor swearing, and nearly always only use caps-lock for capitalization ou to get a point across. Only, like, one rabid fan. Maybe two ou three. How the hell should I know?
TS fans: Now I'm not saying that all Twilight fans will do this: "OMG TWILITE IZ SOOOOOO MUCH BETER THEN HARY POTTER!!!! HP IS SOOOO ANOYING AND NERDYY!!!11!!one" Quite the contrary. I have Friends who are very intelligent and like Twilight. Of course they don't write like that. However Rabid-Fans/Twihards/TwiTards will. Sometimes. Rabid-Fans also will pour acid on a non-twilightian, scratch the car of a non-twilightian, ou try to drown a twelve/eleven an old non-twilightian. I made up non-twilightian, just saying. I think I did, at least. Someone else might say it too.
5. Films/Movies
Some people *cough-twilightgurl-cough* will say that anything made in Britain is automatically bad, because America is/was the plus powerful country. Ummm....no.
Others might say anything made in America is bad, and everything made in Britain is automatically better. Also: Ummmm....no.
It doesn't matter what country its made in. I don't care. I l’amour the Harry Potter movies, and I like the Twilight movies. The ACTORS matter. The DIRECTING matters.
I don't have much opinion on this one, but I'm going with Harry Potter because I really don't like Kristen Stewart as Bella. She seems kind of lifeless to me. But I like the Twilight films fine, despite her.
Thats all for now. I could go on, but I'm choosing not to because I have to leave soon.

Now, i have to admit i l’amour both series! I'd say harry potter is unisex and appropriate for all ages, whilst twilight adresses mainly to teenage girls. HP talks about friendship and love, while twilight is plus romantic! Also, hp gives lessons of life, although maybe in some cases, i would prefer lire twilight.
Finally, They are both written par two very talented and imaginative writers, j.k rowling and stephenie meyer. They wrote these livres to give teens (and not only) inspiration and time of happiness. So, if toi don't like one of these two series, don't blame them! We can't all have the same tastes!
