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.

Hahaha I like how Twilight so far has none XDDD
02/11/2012
You can't really compair the two. They're completely different genres.
02/11/2012
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.
02/12/2012
I'd prefer neither. I've never been a fan of these.

Never bothered to read or watch a drop of Harry Potter, so my vote is kinda invalid LOL
02/13/2012
I voted "Neither" because I've only seen the Harry Potter movies but I know Twilight sucks.

Harry Potter, always! Twilight was just terrible (sorry), I couldn't get past the first couple chapters.
02/13/2012
it has to be harry potter!
02/13/2012
Harry Potter for me.
02/13/2012

02/13/2012
Pinkie Pie

02/13/2012
Harry Potter, hands down.
02/13/2012
HARRY POTTER!!!

Neither one of them!
02/14/2012
Harry Potter.. I need to read the books again!
02/14/2012
No contest. Harry. Potter. So. Magical. This series redefined the market for children's books.
02/14/2012
hp, of course! I love re-reading them when I'm bored. They're the only books I've ever been able to read 20+ times each without ever getting sick of them.
02/14/2012
twilight.
02/15/2012
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.
02/19/2012
Harry Potter all the way.
02/23/2012
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).

There is no comparison. It's like a lion versus a demented sheep. Oh... right....
02/29/2012
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.
02/29/2012
I like them both really...it's funny how so many people hate Twilight...I used to be one of them until I read the books haha. I have a softspot for vampires
02/29/2012
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.

Hate Twilight, though.
02/29/2012
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.
03/10/2012
Harry Potter
03/10/2012
this shouldn't even be a contest. obviously harry potter
03/10/2012
Although they are different genres, I would say that the Harry Potter series has more depth and is definitely much less creepy
03/18/2012
Harry potter is my childhood <3
03/18/2012
I just find Twilight to be annoying
03/18/2012
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.
03/18/2012
neither
03/20/2012
harry potter
03/22/2012
Harry Potter. As far as I'm concerned theres no such thing as a twinkling vampire.
05/26/2012
Harry Potter because it teaches the importance of bravery and friendship
while Twilight teaches the importance of having a boyfriend.

05/28/2012
Harry Potter, but there are other series I think are even better, like The Lord of the Rings and The Hunger Games...
05/28/2012
HP, as I love listening to the audio books before I fall asleep.
05/28/2012
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.

Harry Potter.
I kind of liked Twilight briefly, but after the fourth book, I lost all respect for it.

I could never, ever, ever get into HP. I somewhat sort of enjoyed Twilight, but not really that much even.
05/29/2012
I think Harry Potter was a much better story and better written.
05/29/2012
Harry Potter was better in my opinion, but the Twilight series had great potential. It just didn't live up to what I wanted from it.
08/05/2012
Harry Potter all the way!
08/06/2012
Harry would kick some sparkly vampire ass hehe
08/06/2012
Never got into both of them.
08/06/2012
Both are great
08/06/2012
Im not really into either, but are you kidding me? twilight doesn't come near harry potter.
08/06/2012
I like Twilight, but Harry Potter wins.
08/06/2012
I never even bothered to read the "Twilight" books. I tried watching the first movie, but was soooo bored, I changed the channel.
08/06/2012
Wish there was a other option. I like them both.
08/06/2012
Harry Potter = childhood!
08/06/2012
Definitely Harry Potter over Twilight.
08/06/2012
That about sums it up.
08/06/2012
I think Harry Potter is better, but I don't really like either.
08/07/2012
I voted for Twilight, But I enjoied both very much. They are sooo different.
08/08/2012
I wish A Series of Unfortunate Events had become as popular as these.
08/09/2012
Harry Potter is 100 times better than Twilight in my opinion.
08/13/2012
It's nice to see where the majority of Eden falls on this issue.
08/15/2012
I never liked either of them.
08/15/2012
Harry Potter
09/20/2012
Harry Potter for the books, neither for the films.
09/20/2012
Not a huge fan of either but Harry Potter is better.

Twilight for me Harry for the hubby.

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.

75 percent HP my faith in humanity is restored
09/22/2012
I like twilight it was an interesting story, but my heart belongs to Harry.
09/23/2012
I love Harry Potter.
09/24/2012
This should have a "both" option on there. I love them both! but movie wise.... definitely harry potter. they ruined the twilight saga with the movies...
09/25/2012
Twilight...was alright I guess. But I'm a Harry Potter fan all the way. I love HP and even signed up on Pottermore to have a interactive experience.
09/26/2012
both were good
09/26/2012
Harry Potter Series

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.

Neither. I cannot bring myself to pay attention to either. They both seemed kind of boring to me. My mom is obsessed with Harry Potter.
10/04/2012
Fans of both are equally obnoxious

Funny selection

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?

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.
