Which series is better? I personally like Harry Potter. Oh and I am referring to the Books, since they are ALWAYS better than the movies.

You can't really compair the two. They're completely different genres.

I love Harry Potter and I do like the Twilight series but I can repetitively read harry potter and have to take long breaks from reading twilight. Definitely different genres.

HARRY FUCKING POTTER! Damn... I'm not a pothead, but I really like the HP series
The twilight series is okay as crappy, trashy romance goes, but I don't really think it's well written enough to deserve the ridiculous following it has! Not that there's anything wrong with liking twilight, I just don't think it's THAT good.

I did enjoy Twilight, but Harry Potter will always have my heart!! I don't understand why Twilight is soooo huge.

The two just don't compare. While both were like literary crack to me, Harry Potter didn't leave a bad taste in my figurative mouth like Twilight sort of did. That, and Harry Potter was much more my style of book.

Speaking of Twilight, however, Stephenie Meyer also wrote The Host, and that was pretty good! Worth checking out, especially if you enjoyed Twilight.

Admittedly, I didn't finish either series. I got halfway through book one of Twilight, and through the first three Harry Potter books. I do intend to re-read and then finish Harry Potter someday since I did enjoy it quite a bit, while my second attempt at reading Twilight failed after a few pages.

I'll admit to liking Twilight somewhat, but at the same time I really don't get how it got to be so huge. I love vampires... just not sparkly ones (though to be fair, if you look up some old vampires from folklore around the world, some of them are way stupider than that).

For me, I was able to get into the Twilight books better than Harry Potter. However, we own all of the Harry Potter and Twilight movies, we love both.

Neither...
There's so much better out there, like His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman.
Perhaps it's not as well accepted is because it challenges the boundaries of what is perceived as "good" and "evil," "right" and "wrong" ...as well as controversial views (though provocatively written and imagined) on Christianity.

I like Dark Materials, but I also like Potter. They both have their strengths and purposes.

Hate Twilight, though.

If I had to choose, it would definitely be Harry Potter. Twilight is just outrageously ridiculous. Overall though, I'm not a fan of either.

Harry Potter definitely has its flaws, but it's leagues ahead of Twilight when it comes to worldbuilding, character depth, and non-terrifying underlying messages.

Harry Potter because it teaches the importance of bravery and friendship
while Twilight teaches the importance of having a boyfriend.

Harry Potter, but there are other series I think are even better, like The Lord of the Rings and The Hunger Games...

Harry Potter, hands down. However, I will admit that after book 4, i think the HP series kinda fell apart in it's own way. I don't know, but book 5 and 6 didn't do much for me. To me it read like a fanfiction.

I voted neither because I like both of the stories equally, tho I gotta say Rowling is a better writer than Meyers. As for the films I liked the earlier Harry Potter ones but hated Twilight.

Same here! Our power was knocked out for a week and I dove right into them again. I've lost count of how many times I've read them all, but I enjoy them each time. Twilight just never caught my interest at all. I see people mentioning His Dark Materials as well, I love those too! I'm about halfway through The Subtle Knife right now on my second reading of the series. Very, very good.

Interesting - I've never heard that opinion before! I understand that Twilight is more romantic relationship-centric, but I usually encounter them both sorted into young adult fantasy. What genres would you sort them into?

Contributor: Ouroborean Ouroborean
If I had to chose between the two, I'd say Harry Potter. The creepy messages Twilight sends about relationships just squick me right the fuck out, especially considering how many young readers the series has. I'm not really a "save the children" type, but the stuff legitimately makes me shudder.
