The Harry Potter vs Twilight war is a huge phenomenon in the literary world. We have 記事 floating around in the Internet (even in CAT) where both camps vehemently defend their fandoms. I am a huge Harry Potter fan, but today, I am not going to take sides. How it started, and how it evolved in a full-scale clash between ファン of both series is something I would cover in this article.
It started off with a few websites claiming Twilight is the new Harry Potter. Harry Potter fans, of course, would not take it sitting down, and they wrote 記事 with reasons why Harry Potter is better than Twilight. Then Twilight ファン read the 記事 the Harry Potter ファン wrote, and they fought back, coming up with their own reasons why Twilight is better than Harry Potter. And then the HP camp got furious, moved to YouTube and 投稿されました 動画 about the whole affair. And then Twilight ファン 投稿されました 返信 to the 動画 the HP ファン put up... あなた get the picture.
I think the whole clash is silly. (no offense to anyone, especially to my fellow HP fans.)
1) The two series, while in the ファンタジー genre, are different in their themes.
Harry Potter is the good-vs-evil fight, and contains a lot もっと見る action and mystery, with many plot twists thrown along the way. Twilight is pretty straight-forward, it is a romance series with a girl who would do anything to be with her true love.
2) The way they approach magic is different. Harry uses magic most of the time, but in the war with Voldemort, he relies on his human nature (by sacrificing himself for his friends, like how his mother sacrificed herself for him) to defeat the Dark Wizard. Witches and wizards in the Harry Potter series also have struggles like us, despite their magical powers.
In the Twilight series, Bella is always shown as being a weak human. She is only strong after her transformation as a vampire. She relies on magic もっと見る than her humanity, and after her transformation, she doesn't seem to have any struggle.
3) Love.
Both series approach 愛 differently. While Harry has his romantic interests, a greater importance is shown for platonic 愛 (love with friends). The first people Harry turn to are Ron and Hermione. However, Twilight focuses もっと見る on romantic love, and the first people Bella turns to is Edward and Jacob (who are her 愛 interests).
4) Girls.
The girls in the series are different. Bella (before her transformation) has to rely on stronger people (the vampires/werewolves) to help her and she rarely voices her opinions. Hermione in the Harry Potter series constantly puts herself in the line of danger, and being the smartest person in the school, she argues with the boys. Most of the time, her timely wit saves the day.
With these reasons, I think the Twilight series and the Harry Potter series shouldn't be compared.

There are some core things about the mythical creatures I wish Meyer would have 与えられた an actual explaination for:
Vampires
1. Turning into bats
She could have explained it as bats are attracted to vampires, but she choose not to adress it at all.
2. Sleeping in a coffin
How about that having something to do with them faking their own death または something?
3. Lack of Fangs
An evolution over time to adapt.
4. Sunlight
Related to the fact ヴァンパイア are considered to be connected to the devil.
Werewolves
1. Full-Moon
They meet at the full-moon.
2. Their Anger Issues (yes, I know that some of the オオカミ have this)
It could have been explained as a reaction to the moons phases.
3. Pack- Mind
Evolved trait または even a gift from the spirits.

Bella Sawn.... Hmmm.
If my bestfreind has loved me, kissed me, tried to ruin my relationship with my boyfriend, i wouldn't be all cool with him loving my child.... including because she's young and his old.
Bella didn't react properly.
I wanted her to get really mad, i wanted Jacob to be banned from seeing Nessie, not have 10 分 go by, and his aloud to hold her again.
They say あなた dont choose love, 愛 choose's you.
I believe in that but Reneseme, didn't get a choice? Somehow this imprinting thing assumes the person the wolfs are going to fall inlove with are going to 愛 them back?
In twilight saga this is the thing i do not understand または get no matter how much i try...
and I just felt the need to let that out lol even though i have so much もっと見る i would like to let out.
