From what I gather here and in real life, most Twilight fans were originally Harry Potter fans so they can't really say anything negative towards it.

Oh I'm sure they can come up with cute little buttons too. rolleyes.gif

My point is, you can be a fan of both, recognize the two in their respective successes without resorting to oh so and so sucks wah wah wah because your fandom isn't the ONLY fandom in existence.

Wow. You know, I see more inane and cruel remarks from Potter fans regarding Meyer than I do Twilight fans remarking on Rowling. At this point, I'm seeing more maturity from Twilight fans. That's just from personal experience and from what I've responses/blogs I've read.

Oh well.

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.


I have to agree with that _unsure.gif

So you like anyone who agrees that HP > Twilight? Haha. I guess you like me too, then.

You don't have to choose a side; just appreciate the two series for what they are. No one said that you couldn't be in two fandoms at once.

Haha, there will always be those silly people who think Twilight is better than HP, when clearly they aren't comparable.

How can you compare a wizard to a vampire? That's like comparing Star Wars to Lord of the Rings. The only thing that they have in common is that they're never ending and people go crazy-freaking-gaga for them.





I like Twilight better, but that's out of preference. But..still.

I agree with you on that that is why I am sick of people comparing them and why I had a headache before. Because there is no way Twilight can be the "new" Harry Potter.

Eh, personally, I don't like either. I think J.K. Rowling just suddenly threw in the most random of things in her books, nearing towards the end. "Dumbledore's gay!"--okay, but what does have to do with anything in the plot, how does it enhance it, etc.

Twilight is cute, but Stephanie Meyers is not a good author. There is no development in character, and I guess there's just not much substance to Bella and Edwards.

^ I'm glad at least that Dumbledore's sexual orientation played NO PART in the plot, it was more of an afterthought thrown out there, perhaps to enhance sales? At least there wasn't a chapter in the last book where he told Harry he was gay or something. That would just piss me off to no end.

Well actually you can't really say it played no part in the plot, what with Grindelwald. Of course this is just an assumed relationship...
