100's of reasons why HP is better than Twilight.

[Time Lord]

Who remembers this from the old board?
I thought it was more fitting to make the number more than just 100.
1. Harry Potter has a plot.

2. Harry Potter is an in depth story which captures the readers interest while Twilight is boring and predictable.

3. Harry Potter contains characters with personality.

4. Though Harry Potter is about wizards, the characters are easy to relate to with actual flaws.

5. J.K. Rowling isn't being sued for plagiarism.

6. Harry Potter isn't read simply for the hot guys.

7. Harry Potter contains small details in the beginning of the series which become important later in the story.

8. Many of the major plot holes in Harry Potter are cleared up by the end of the 7th book. In Twilight, I was just left with more questions.

9. J.K. Rowling sticks to her own canon.

10. Harry Potter was a well thought out story from the very beginning which made it easier to tie everything up neatly in the end. Twilight, as I've said before, just left me with more questions and a slightly queasy stomach.

11. Harry Potter remains completely consistent through the entire series.

12. Harry Potter can actually teach you valuable life lessons.

13. Harry Potter allows you to use your imagination to fill in the blanks, instead of repeatedly using different adjectives to describe the same object every few lines or so.

14. J.K. Rowling trusts her readers to think for themselves so they actually learn, as opposed to repeatedly bashing the reader over the head until their brain is mush and they are willing to take anything you hand them at face value.

15. J.K. Rowling uses words properly, as opposed to repeatedly abusing the thesaurus to mine for any "smart" sounding words available.

16. J.K. Rowling tends to research her fantasy series to make it as believable and plausible as possible.

17. J.K. Rowling created an entire world for her readers to get lost in, as opposed to throwing incredible (and I do mean INCREDIBLE) magical creatures into the real world.

18. J.K. Rowling built up the suspense of Voldemort and turned him into an actual threat instead of defeating him in seconds as Twilight does.

19. J.K. Rowling included fantastical creatures in her story that are far more realistic to me than a sparkly pixie.

20. Harry Potter is filled with actual conflict between characters but Harry doesn’t spend 1,800 pages of a 2,200 page series whining about them! He actually does something about it!

21. Harry Potter broke up with Ginny Weasley and neither one of them spent 6 full months in a comatose state or attempted suicide.

22. Harry Potter is full of hidden details which you can only catch by rereading the series, whereas Twilight was so bland I don’t care enough to know whether I missed anything.

23. Harry Potter is about a boy wizard with a lightning bolt scar on his forehead brandishing a stick, and I find it far more believable than a “vegetarian” vampire that sparkles in the sunlight.

24. When J.K. Rowling writes frightening characters or mythical creatures in her stories, THEY ARE ACTUALLY FRIGHTENING!

25. If J.K. Rowling wrote that baboons were actually wizards in hiding, I would probably believe it.

26. Harry Potter keeps you on the edge of your seat.

27. J.K. Rowling’s editor actually does their job.

28. When J.K. Rowling writes the back-story of one of her characters she does far more than bring it up once and forget about it; she actually spends a large portion of the 6th book explaining the origins of Lord Voldemort.

29. J.K. Rowling doesn’t bludgeon the myth in question to bits; she will take an idea, improve on it and smooth out the edges until she has morphed it into something pretty damn amazing.

30. Smeyer completely destroys any and all rules that were previously established (and not in a good way) by far better authors.

31. J.K. Rowling began Harry Potter as a children’s series but adapted her writing style to accommodate her audiences increasing age.

32. Harry Potter has actual character development.

33. J.K. Rowling created the perfect characters for her story rather than just creating “perfect” characters for any story.

34. Renesme Cullen? Ha! Albus Percival Wulfric Bryan Dumbledore laughs in his grave.

35. Harry Potter is a modest person who is completely happy with Ron and Hermione as his friends. He is also entirely uncomfortable with being famous and the attention he gets because of it.

36. Harry Potter breaks up with Cho Chang and his life goes on; we don’t get 6 blank pages while he wallows in self pity.

37. Harry Potter hates people for good reason, and because of this, we can’t help but hate them as well.

38. Harry Potter may become attracted to someone because of their looks, but he doesn’t try to use that as the
basis for a long successful relationship.

39. Even Dumbledore admits he isn’t perfect.

40. Harry Potter isn’t completely preoccupied with porking everything in sight.

41. Harry Potter is filled with complex relationships based on longstanding friendships instead of immediate sexual attraction.

42. J.K. Rowling uses effective foreshadowing instead of throwing the entire plot into the reader’s face in one fell swoop.

43. Harry Potter began as a light-hearted tale and steadily got darker as Lord Voldemort got stronger.

44. Harry Potter began over a decade ago and people are still reading the books. (J.K. Rowling must’ve done something right.)

45. The statement “the words aren’t always perfect” has NEVER been applied to Harry Potter.

46. Even in Stephen King’s eyes J.K. Rowling is the superior author.

47. There is no such thing as harrypottersucks.com.

48. J.K. Rowling didn’t fully understand the vastness of the fandom behind Harry Potter until AFTER she had completed the 7th novel, whereas Smeyer actually tacked 3 extra novels onto Twilight because of the growing popularity.

49. Harry Potter is the product of years of J.K. Rowling’s blood, sweat, and tears while Twilight was just pulled out of someone’s bum on the fly.

50. Harry Potter is noble, heroic and often selfless. He is willing to risk his life for people he doesn’t know or even like. (Ex: Harry Potter saved Draco Malfoy in the Room of Requirement in the 7th book.)

51. Hermione Granger is a strong, talented and ambitious character which we can all be proud of (even when she messes up : constant fighting with Ronald, Failing 3rd year DaDA exam, allowing a Death Eater to grab onto her while apparating to Grimmauld Place).

52. J.K. Rowling uses plot devices effectively and believably while Smeyer doesn’t.

53. Harry Potter isn’t filled with jokes based on sexual innuendos.

54. Harry Potter allows the reader to develop deep personal connections with the characters.

55. Lily Potter loved her son so much, she died for him; the “love” shown between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen pales dramatically in comparison.

56. J.K. Rowling has no fear of killing off characters—even if she did cry whilst doing so.

57. Harry Potter is kind to even the most seemingly insignificant creatures. He dug the grave for Dobby by hand in tribute to the hard work Dobby devoted his life to doing.

58. Harry Potter remains loyal to his friends no matter how unpopular. Ex: in the 6th book on the train ride to Hogwarts, Romilda Vane comes and invites Harry to join her and her friends in their compartment saying he doesn’t have to sit with Neville and Luna. He refuses saying, “but they’re my friends.” Bella left her human friends behind the moment Edward Cullen gave her a second look.

59. Harry had to work hard to succeed, Bella Swan had everything handed to her.

60. Harry Potter characters have some sort of affect towards the plot. They aren’t just there for the sake of being there.

61. J.K. Rowling doesn’t try to explain things away with sciences and fail epically at it.

62. Characters in Harry Potter are willing to die for one another, and some have. The final battle is proof that many of the students at Hogwarts would die to save Harry.

63. Harry Potter is a story which I would have no qualms about reading to my children as a bedtime story. I wouldn’t let my children within 50 feet of Twilight, even with a blowtorch.

64. Harry Potter has enough content for a full length movie.

65. In all the years I’ve read Harry Potter, I have never had to close the book, put it down and walk away shaking my head the way I did in the sparkling scene of Twilight.

66. Harry Potter shows you that immortality can destroy you while Twilight claims that if you aren’t immortal you aren’t worth shit.

67. I have never once face-palmed while reading Harry Potter.

68. No one ever whined about the shitty weather, even if it meant that Dementors where breeding.

69. J.K. Rowling writes fight scenes with actual climaxes.

70. J.K. Rowling can find a less cliché way of ending a series than “and we walked into our perfect piece of forever” or whatever shit Smeyer wrote.

71. J.K. Rowling proved that some young adult books should be over 700 pages long, Smeyer proved that some shouldn’t be.

72. If J.K. Rowling were to ever write a fight scene in which one character kills another, the person whose point of view we’re reading in would not black out leaving us utterly clueless as to what’s going on.

73. Harry Potter would never try to pass off stalking, pedophilia, and abuse as “true love”.

74. Harry Potter keeps you guessing; the reader never truly knew where Severus Snape’s loyalties truly lied until one of the last chapters of the last book.

75. Many people say the Cullens are great because they are attractive and wealthy. Whenever someone brings this up, I say “The Weasleys”; they may not be rich or well dressed, but they have love. Honestly, what more could any person want? Mrs. Weasley actually murdered Bellatrix Lestrange because Bellatrix attacked her daughter, Ginny. The Weasleys are kind, loving and are happy to welcome you in as another member of the family.

Some of these I remembered from the other forum, and some I made up myself.
Feel free to add more if you want to.

76. Harry Potter is the only book series I've read that kept me guessing until the very end, but when I re-read it I wondered why I didn't see it all along.

77. J.K. Rowling makes almost every character into a round/dynamic character, or at least gives them some sort of motivation (see the previously flat characters of Petunia Dursley, Dudly Dursley (to some extent; at least he's thankful to Harry for saving his life), and Kreatcher the House-elf).

78. Harry Potter is filled with a huge amount of round, well-thought-out characters. In Twilight, there are only three (four if you count Alice) characters that SMeyer pays any attention to at all, and even they're flat as boards.

79. J.K. Rowling uses plot devices like foreshadowing, and she uses them effectively. S.P.E.W., for example, foreshadows how important House-elves (and the proper treatment of them) is to become. SMeyer rarely foreshadows anything, and when she tries (talking about immortal children and then having Renesmee mistaken for one), she makes it so obvious that you may as well have AVPM Snape pop up and say, "Now can anyone tell me what foreshadowing is?"

80. J.K. Rowling effectively uses "Show, Don't Tell," while SMeyer does not (We finally understand Snape's life through seeing his memories in the Pensieve, while when we learn Jasper's life, it's just through a story he told us).

81. The Harry Potter series is loved by people ages six to-as old as you can get and still be able to read. This is because they operate on so many levels. A young reader, for example, will love the Harry Potter books for the story, and only the story. They'll love their happy ending, they'll love the Quidditch games, they'll love Hagrid and Dumbledore and Fred and George. An older reader would read the books at a deeper level. They'd love it for the way the theme is definitely there, but never so obvious as to make it boring. A person like me reads it for both, and re-reads it to see how J.K. Rowling was such an amazing writer that you could see traces of book seven way back in book one. SMeyer's book appeals mainly (with some exceptions) to teenage girls and middle-aged housewives, because it's basically their own fantasy written out for them.

82. As stated above, the theme of Harry Potter is certainly present, but it's never shouted t you. SMeyer hits you over the head with her theme repeatedly.

...that's all I've got for now, but I'll have more, believe me.

[Time Lord]

Fantastic addition Anya.
Errrmm...
83. The characters of Harry Potter grow with the reader as the reader grows, (I don't know if anyone else felt this way) but I felt as if the characters were an addition of myself. In Twilight I felt as if I were just another "blah" character in a "blah" story.

[Anya the Purple]

Why thank you, Time Lord.

So would stuff about why the HP fandom is better than the Twilight fandom fit here too?

[kleptomaniack]

Err....
84. Rowling can create strong characters. Hermionie Granger is an example of this. She's smart, headstrong, and makes mistakes, but is overall a caring and compassionate person. Bella doesn't even come close. Rowling doesn't tell you all of this about Hermionie; she shows you. We see her putting her life on the line for her friends, and we see her intelligence when she uses her extensive classroom knowledge to help Harry defeat his enemies. She's brilliant, but it's not confined to the classroom. Bella reading literature doesn't do anything for her intelligence as she doesn't apply any of it to her life, and she lacks basic common sense. And I argue with anyone who calls Bella headstrong since Edward can get her to bend over whenever he wants. Unless being so stubborn about being happy with a decent life and wanting to die due to lack of common sense counts as headstrong.

[Anya the Purple]

85. Harry Potter is applicable to real life. Sure shouting, "Stupefy!" at someone won't knock them out, but the ideals of Harry Potter-equal treatment to all, the power of love-have a huge relevance in our daily lives. The theme of Twilight-what the hell IS the theme of Twilight, anyway? Wait till marriage?

86. In Harry Potter, people use knowledge, skill, and reason (and often enough a fair bit of luck, too) to solve problems. In Twilight, when there are problems, it's ALL luck-what, you think I don't have proof? Look at Twilight and New Moon. In Twilight, the only problem is whether Edward can get to Phoenix fast enough to save Bella. In New Moon, it's whether Bella can get to Italy fast enough to save Edward, and then whether the Volturi decide to kill them or not. In Eclipse, there's SOME skill involved in fighting the newborn vampires. In Breaking Dawn, it's the Volturi's decision again.

87. Stephanie Meyer writes novels the same way I do-she makes it up as she goes along. I'm not ashamed to admit that's what I do, because I don't pretend they're fucking masterpieces and I don't even intend to publish them; they're just for fun. J.K. Rowling spent years revising and editing and making them perfect. As I've said somewhere, you can see stuff relevant to book 7 way back in book 1 (see Harry's first chocolate frog card mentioning the Dumbledore/Grindelwald duel).

[Anya the Purple]

I just wrote this (a thread in the vent station, long story) and thought it might fit in here... plus I'm so damn proud of it...
And yes, I literally wrote it off the top of my head. And I am going to parade that fact until the entire world knows it.


One of the most heated debates in schools these days is that between the fans of two book series, Twilight and Harry Potter. Fans of both series adamantly declare that their book is the best. But which one is truly the better series? A small amount of thought was all that was needed to prove that Harry Potter was undoubtedly the winner.

The Harry Potter series is about an orphan boy named Harry Potter who lives with his aunt, uncle, and cousin. When he's eleven years old, Harry learns that he is not just an ordinary boy. He is a wizard. Not only that, but he's famous for having survived a would-be fatal attack by Lord Voldemort, the darkest wizard of all time, when he was only a year old. Harry is now to attend a wizarding school called Hogwarts. Each of the seven books of the Harry Potter series follows the course of one of Harry's years at Hogwarts. Being the Boy Who Lived isn't an easy job, though. Despite the fact that Voldemort's power was broken when he failed to kill Harry, shadows of the Dark Lord still live, doing everything they can to kill the boy who destroyed him. Over the course of his Hogwarts years, Harry makes friends and foes, experiences love and heartbreak, and learns a lot about himself. The series ends with the final showdown between Harry and Voldemort, each trying to finish the other off once and for all.

The Twilight series is about a sixteen-year-old girl named Bella Swan, who lived with her mother until her junior year, when she moved to Forks, Washington to live with her father. There BElla meets Edward Cullen, a "vegetarian" vampire who only eats animal blood. Disaster seems to strike whenever Bella is around. In book one, a hostile vampire from outside Edward's coven tries to kill Bella. In book two, Bella has to stop Edward from committing suicide after he thinks Bella has died. In book three, the mate of the (now dead) vampire from book one creates an army of vampires to kill Bella. In book four, Edward and Bella have a child, which sets the Volturi (the leading coven of the vampire world) on the warpath.

From a strictly literary point of view, there is no doubt that Harry Potter is the superior series. While the majority of the Twilight series is spent on Bella's thoughts about Edward's beauty, without much plot until the end of each book. Another reason most literary critics would say that Harry Potter is better-written than Twilight is that the writing is more complex and intricate. Foreshadowing is used very much in the Harry Potter books, so that one can see traces of book seven back in book one. Even the tiniest detail can become very important. In Twilight, this does not happen. Even major villains (such as the vampires that want to kill Bella in books one and three) are introduced suddenly and without warning. Literarily, there is no question that Harry Potter is a better series than Twilight.

One of the best things about Harry Potter (that also, incidentally, is yet another reason it's better than Twilight) is its characters. My opponents have argued that the characters of Twilight are easy to relate to, while the characters of Harry Potter are not. However, this is untrue. Bella is a passive, whiny, immature girl who has everything handed to her on a silver platter. The vampires of Twilight are flawless and, therefore, unrealistic. These are what literary circles would call "flat characters." Comparatively, the characters of Harry Potter are "round characters." Each character has many levels of emotion and motivation. They are all flawed, just as real people are. In Twilight, the only characters that have motivation and anything resembling dimension are the main characters-Bella, Edward, and Jacob. Everyone else is either portrayed as a "good guy" because they mindlessly worship Bella for no apparent reason, or a "bad guy" (or at least a "bitter meany") because they don't. In Harry Potter, on the other hand, nearly every character is given some depth or motivation. Harry and his best friends, Ron and Hermione, are very round characters, each with multiple, believable strengths and weaknesses. However, in Harry Potter, unlike Twilight, the other characters have depth, motivation, strengths, and weaknesses as well. Two examples of this are the semi-major character Neville Longbottom (Harry's classmate)and the semi-minor character Petunia Dursley (Harry's aunt). These two characters show two different ways in which J. K. Rowling develops her characters. Neville begins as a bumbling, incompetent boy who can barely perform a spell to save his life. Beginning in book five, however, Neville begins to grow into his powers. He becomes a much more accomplished wizard after this, fighting in the final battle in book seven and eventually becoming a teacher at Hogwarts. Petunia Dursley is, for most of the series, is a very flat character. She is Harry's aunt, and she dislikes Harry and everything to do with magic. Petunia was Harry's mother Lily's sister, and adamantly believes that her sister was a "freak" for being a witch. In book seven, however, we see that Petunia never truly hated her sister; she lashed out against Lily out of jealousy. Only then do we see how much she truly wanted to be a part of the wizarding community.

In book seven of the Harry Potter series, we see how much Petunia wanted to be a witch. We don't hear it, we see it. We learn about her longing to be a part of the wizarding community through her actions. This is just one of many examples of J. K. Rowling's stupendous use of the old writing adage, "Show, don't tell." A book is more interesting if we can learn about a character or event through actions instead of just being told about them or it. As much as J. K. Rowling uses this technique, Stephanie Meyer ignores it. For example, in the last book of the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn, the reader hears about "immortal children," or small children that have been turned into vampires, and how dangerous they are. Notice that the reader hears about how dangerous they are, they don't see how dangerous they are. The rest of the Twilight series follows the same pattern: we hear that something is the way somebody says it is, but have no evidence that it is that way other than the character’s word. Showing rather than telling makes a book more interesting because it leaves more open to interpretation, which allows the reader to use their brain. Stephanie Meyer’s blatant disregard for this technique implies that she doesn’t expect her readers to be intelligent enough to figure things out for themselves. It’s rather insulting, really.

Even thought the Harry Potter series involves wizards and magical creatures, it is, in some ways, very realistic. Ideas such as fitting in at a new school and making friends, growing up (mentally as well as physcially), and learning how to make a difference in the world are all key in the Harry Potter series. My opponents may argue that Twilight involves fitting in at a new school, making friends, and growing up as well, but this is not true. Bella makes no attempt to fit in or make friends at Forks High school; everyone either immediately loves her or is ignored by her. As for growing up, Bella spends the entire series whining about how she doesn’t want to grow up so that she won’t be any older than Edward. She does not mature, either. Everything is handed to her with minimal conflict-she has no reason to grow up, so she doesn’t.

Another old saying of literature is “earn your happy ending.” People got bored of “and they lived happily ever after” after Snow White. Real conflict, struggle, tragedy-these are what make a book series interesting. J. K. Rowling earns her happy ending. She’s not afraid to kill beloved characters such as Remus Lupin (Harry’s teacher and friend), Fred Weasley (harry’s friend), and Dobby the House-elf (another friend of Harry’s). J. K. Rowling understands that war-which is essentially what happens in the last book of the Harry Potter series, a war-is a brutal, bloody, death-filled affair. Stephanie Meyer, on the other hand, ignores the brutality of battle. Not a single “good guy” dies in the entire Twilight series. Stephanie Meyer will not let her characters earn their happy ending; she insists on forcing it upon them with minimal conflict. Even against insane odds (see the army of newborn vampires in Eclipse; it’s seriously unlikely that there wouldn’t be a few casualties in that battle, even with the Wolf pack helping), Stephanie Meyer refuses to let a character die. The very nature of Stephanie Meyer’s characters shows how she refuses to let any of them have any sort of fatal weakness. Her vampires can’t be killed unless they are burned, and they cannot die natural deaths. Her werewolves won’t grow old unless they choose to, and once again, are practically invincible. This is boring. Sadness and pain are what make us appreciate the happy parts of books. J. K. Rowling knows this. Stephanie Meyer, it seems, does not.

It took no research at all (though admittedly, I have an extensive knowledge of the Harry Potter books) to prove all of these points. If one only thinks a bit, the answer to the debate is obvious. Harry Potter is clearly the better series.

[Time Lord]

^.

I like it.

[Anya the Purple]

Thank you. I must admit, I'm a bit egotistical about my writing...

[Time Lord]

You are very welcome Anya.
Keep up the good work.

[mrsdamienthorn]

88. Because Lord Voldemort is a proper egotistical, sociopathic maniac and doesn't hide it by calling everyone "dear ones" and saying "peace" about twenty times like Aro does.

[Anya the Purple]

^XD Good one.

89. Because Twilight does not have Tonks.

[Lady Phoenix]

90. The narration is used correctly.

[mrsdamienthorn]

Anya the Purple: Thank you. XD

Lady Phoenix: I lol'd. Really hard. That is all.

[Chibithulhu]

^ Well, there could've been something fun about a villain being so disturbingly polite as he, say, rips your throat out. Discworld's Mr. Teatime, anyone? But no, this is Twilight.

91. Because in Harry Potter, actions and character flaws have consequences. Ex: Harry's prejudice against Snape in book five prevents him from learning occlumency, inadvertently leading to Sirius's death. His favorite spell being Expelliarmus makes the flight in Book Seven that much harder.

92. Because Harry is willing to put himself in danger- even die- for selfless reasons. He walks into the Forbidden Forest knowing he won't come out because it'll save the others and ensure Voldemort can be stopped for good. Bella won't let Edwart fight because she's too scared to lose him. (Even acting as the bait, while suicidal, would've been her doing something)

93. Because in Harry Potter, you don't like the characters the narration's telling you to hate because they're the only realistic ones.

94. Because even if the character has no effect on the plot and no lines, like Crabbe and Goyle, a death still elicits a reader's response.

95. Because Harry can pity a complete monster while still hating him. Because Harry places actual value on human lives.

[Lady of Himring]

96.- Because it shows you that's ok to be you. Look at Luna and her dad, they are themselves and don't care what the rest of the world think. And Luna's awesome.

97.- It shows you that girls are smart and strong; and no one bats an eye about it: we have Hermione, Luna, Ginny, Tonks, McGonagall, Mrs Weasley. One of my problems with Twilight was how they made females so simple minded, and here, we see very different types of women who are strong, smart, independent. I'm thankful for that.

[Anya the Purple]

98. Because, angst though he might, Harry is always willing to keep fighting. Bella jumps at the first chance to take her emo-ness to the next level and give up her entire life for a guy.

99. In Harry Potter, the characters earn your respect. Sure you hate Voldy and Umbridge, but you respect them as good characters. In Twilight, you don't.

100 (HA!). To extend the previous argument, in Harry Potter, people aren't villains because the author says so. They're villains because they act like it.

[Time Lord]

You guys know it says 100's of reasons why Harry Potter is better than Twilight.
That means there is more than 100.
You can continue the thread if you so desire.

101. J.K. Rowling is humble about her writing talent and doesn't throw herself in the public's eye.

[Anya the Purple]

102. Harry Potter is enjoyable on many levels, while Twilight isn't even enjoyable on one.

I stand corrected. Twilight is enjoyable on one level.

[Time Lord]

^Heeeellll yeah!^

[Nebbles is quite whimsical]

103. The last book of the series sends you through many, many emotions and is leaving you on your seat. The last book of the Twilight series was pretty much cat poop.

[Anya the Purple]

104. Harry actually has a reason to angst. I mean, his parents are dead, his life sucks, he can't hold down a girlfriend, he has to deal with *beep*ing goblins all the time, I mean what the *beep*?
105. Team Starkid never made a musical about Twilight. Which means Twilight has no Darren Criss. Which means Harry Potter wins.
106. Harry Potter had trollfics first! At least it was still somewhat original when Tara Gilesbie made My Immortal. (Yes, Twila, I'm looking at you.)

Well, yes, but it does send you through plenty of emotions. For instance, rage, annoyance, disbelief, uproarious laughter, and utter despair that you are actually reading this book, and someone might see that you're reading it.

[Time Lord]

105. Harry Potter never made me want to pull a "Happy Treehouse Friends" and set a squirrel on fire.
