 J.K. Rowling can pass the torch over to Stephenie Meyer now. Meyer's Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in her Twilight series sold 1.3 million copies on its first day of release, August 2nd. For those of you bad with math, that's A LOT of books! This past Friday night, thousands of bookstores and libraries hosted midnight parties across the country to help fuel these astounding figures. We mentioned previously that due to the overwhelming demand for the title, the publisher went back for a second printing of 500,000 copies prior to publication, to the current in-print figure of 3.7 million copies. The publisher has also confirmed the upcoming publication of The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide. |

F*CK that! Harry Potter will never be beaten!
My friends and I were just having a discussion about this. We were saying how Twilight is read mostly by teens/pre-teens and Harry Potter spans all generations and has touched more hearts that Twilight EVER could. F*CK TWILIGHT AND F*CK STEPHENIE MEYER! Bitch. QUOTE(Joannnnnne @ Aug 7 2008, 03:13 PM)  I mean, even the Edward Cullen guy was in a HP movie. =P For real! He wouldn't even be playing Edward if he hadn't been Cedric in HP4. And like, what harsh struggles has Bella had to go through? Harry Potter gave up his life to save the world, can Bella say that? All she went through was a little tough love. AND she has both her parents. |

I'm actually mad that they made my favorite series into a movie.
[Twilight, not Harry Potter]. I am NOT going to see it when it comes out, because my expectations will not be lived up to. And I don't know if you guys read the series, but throughout the whole thing I always imagined that Edward would have black hair, even though in the books they said it was blonde. It's going to be overrated. Just like every other book series made into a movie. Uck.

Hmm. Time will only tell. Both are amazingly successful. I would imagine both authors are mature enough to appreciate and respect eachothers' successes.
Then again, there's always this.  Edward Cullen Vs Harry Potter |

 seriously, f**k that. i have no right to judge because i haven't read the twilight books yet (but i am planning on it, really)-anyways, the twilight series might be in right now, as certain things are always in at certain times, but i highly doubt that this series can hold readers' attention for a decade like harry potter had. |

The Harry Potter series might be over but it still lives on in our hearts.
 But then again...I've never read the Twilight series, but STILL!As much as I love vampires. I must stay loyal to Harry Pothead. |

Harry Potter is 10 times better. And no offense but J.K. Rowling is much better when it comes to writing.

I like The Harry Potter Movies, but the books are wayy long.
I enjoy Twilight's plot, but her writing style annoys me because it's really girly. Like Seriously, the way she talks = I WANNA f**kING SHOOT MYSELF. |

i'm torn between both.
although I tend to lean more towards Twilight. BUT. only because where I live, all the fan girlyness is for Harry Potter. Twilight isn't as...well known.

QUOTE(stormbringer @ Aug 7 2008, 07:13 PM) Twilight is a fad, and just like all the other little fads, it will pass. then what would you call harry potter? a movement? i was a harry potter fan before i loved twilight. i will always like harry potter, just not as much as twilight. twilight and harry potter have different generas. twilight it purely romance with fiction, mixed in. where harry potter it solely fiction. harry potter cant be number one on the charts forever. but because the harry potter series is complete there are no more discussions on who will live and who will die. there are no more count downs till the next book comes out or releasing of cover art. everyone knows the whole story of harry potter. Stephanie Meyer is coming out with another book from the twilight series, midnight sun, so we twilighters still have more to wait for. and talk about. everyone knew harry potter would die down some day, and at least it was to something as great as twilight. so it all comes down to opinion when you try to decide whether harry potter or twilight is better. its obvious where i stand, |

Twilight sucks. Really, really sucks. There are about a billion more people who have no idea what Twilight is that did when the 4th rolled around (I'm just going to assume that sentence makes sense because am too lazy to edit). And as many books as it sold, it still is nowhere near Harry Potter's league.
Part of her reason for writing it, as a Mormon, was to "make abstinence sexy." ...ew |
