seldear | HP vs. Twilight

What's Better: The 'Twilight' series or 'Harry POtter'?

The question is so unspeakably stupid that the woman who asked it should be shot lest her DNA pass into the collective human gene pool.

However, the answers are hilarious and great fun to read - the serious, the funny, and the whacko.

There's the usual protestations, etc, etc, etc:

I found the Twilight series much more interesting than Harry Potter. Bella and Edward’s romance just brought back fond memories of how I felt when my husband and I started our relationship. Can't wait for a sequel on another vampire character! Team Edward all the way!

Twilight is such a universal story that so many people can relate to on so many levels. The characters are so real and easy to relate to , you feel like you are part of their lives, like you have just stepped into the story.

Stephenie Meyer has created that world where themes of love in so many ways exist, just like real life.

I have never read any book that I adore as much as the Twilight Saga.

HARRY POTTER IS WAY BETTER FOR SOOOOO MANY REASONs!!!!!!!!!
first: it is written way better.
second: more people can relate to it.
but of course there will be those who disagree with me. just remember though... those of u who put twilight in front of hp i can't change ur mind but i can express my opinion. i am not saying i don't like twilight tho.
TWILGHT AND HARRY POTTER ARE BOTH AWESOME!!

Then there's the funny/witty stuff:

Fictional characters FTW!

Tony Stark could build a robot that could write a better book than Twilight. IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!

Bella is a walking strawberry cream puff and Edward farts unicorns. Clearly, HP FTW.

Oh, come on, Rochester, you're clearly just upset that you're no longer the most famous dark, brooding, morally-questionable romantic lead called Edward.

(I kid, I kid. Twilight is rubbish.)

Literary legends rising up to have their say:

People posing as the author:

Lorrie - ignore all the criticism! I do! In fact I don't listen to a single word of it so my writing never rises above mediocre!
