100 reasons why HP is better than Twilight; part 1.

hallowsorhorcruxes:

1. Harry Potter fans aren’t vain and we don’t base our favourite books depending on how “hot” the vampires and werewolves are.

2. HP books are much better written and English teachers agree with this comment.

3. Stephen King hates Twilight and loves Harry Potter and we can all rely on Stephen King (Author of The Shining) to be a good critic.

4. Twilight may include beautiful romantic elements. However, Harry Potter includes many beautiful romances, lots of exhilerating adventures, action, magic…the list could go on.

5. There are many more layers to the plotline, story and genre of Harry Potter.

6. Even Cambridge graduates enjoy Harry Potter.

7. Harry Potter has an adult version as it is aimed at a wide variety of the population. Twilight is in the teenage section & the teenage section alone.

8. Harry Potter fans can spell and put forward a decent argument on these discussion groups, not like “omg rpattz is hot n stuff”.

9. Robert Pattinson was Cedric before Edward and he looked and acted better as that role.

10. Kristen Stewart can not act as Bella-she blinks too much and bites her lip. Is that all she can do with that character?

11. I don’t blame Kristen for the above. Bella is a very boring character and I doubt there’s much you can do with someone who is totally dependant on a man and who falls over at any given moment.

12. How does Twilight even make sense? If Jasper goes crazy over a paper cut then he wouldn’t be allowed to go to school where people get paper cuts all the time.

13. If it tortures Edward so much to not drain Bella dry then how does he contain himself when she has her…monthly visits…grim thing to mention I know but it is a valid point!

14. Harry Potter is the hero who conquered the Dark Lord. Bella Swan is the heroine who conquered The Volturi…oh wait, no she didn’t. That’s right…she just blocked their powers with her mental barrier and let them walk away after killing an innocent vampire. That’s justice for you!

15. Hermione and Ginny and (even) Luna are good role models for young women. Unlike Bella who falls apart after losing Edward and only gets back to normal (ish) when she meets Jacob.

16. I have actually read both book series’ unlike a lot of the Twilight fans who have probably never even looked at a Harry Potter book.

17. Although Rowling may have been inspired by some ideas from Greek Mythology, The Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars? and The Little White Horse, at least she only adapted a subtle amount of these influences into her novels. Unlike Meyer who (so obviously) copied the romantic structure of events from Wuthering Heights and stole many of LJ Smith’s ideas.

18. Vampires die in the sunlight, don’t they? They do not sparkle. I don’t understand why teenage girls are going crazy over this. Surely sparkling is something a girl would like to do. Not something a girl would like her boyfriend to do!

19. Also, a vampire without fangs? Seriously?? Isn’t that just a deranged human?

20. Team Edward and Team Jacob are just a way to cause arguments amongst Twilight fans. I think it’s safe to say that most Harry Potter fans respect whether another prefers Harry, Ron, Fred, George, Bill, Sirius, Lupin, Snape, Draco or even Voldemort!

21. There is a Harry Potter Theme Park. A THEME PARK! Hello?

22. Wizards eat normal food and so they get to visit Honeydukes sweet shop which is full of the most delicious sounding treats you will EVER read about. Vampires drink blood? Oh…yum.

23. Victoria is the fiery red head of Twilight, yes? There is a large family of fiery red heads in Harry Potter called The Weasley’s…they are all lovable and likeable characters…even Percy (sometimes) while Victoria is a villain (and not a very good one).

24. Nobody stands up to The Volturi in Twilight but The Order of The Pheonix are not afraid to oppose The Ministry. Hell, even the students oppose the ministry with Dumbledore’s army. Come on Cullens. Surely you could run the Vampire World better than Aro???!

25. I’d just like to point out to the Twihards that “Daniel Radcliffe got naked with a horse” is not a valid reason to support your belief that Twilight is better. Daniel’s performance of that particular play made critics go crazy with compliments for his “breathtaking performance” so if anything it only supports the belief that Harry Potter is better! :)

26. Harry Potter films use lots of very talented actors/actresses in the films. Particularly Alan Rickman, Gary Oldman, Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes, Jim Broadbent, Timothy Spall, Jason Isaacs, Robbie Coltrane, Bill Nighy etc etc etc etc (the list could go on).

27. Harry Potter grew up with it’s readers and so it grew in maturity and the characters developed alongside the fans. The Twilight characters stay the same throughout the novel and it is only aimed at one age group.

28. Twilight fans seem fond of the question “Who would win in a fight, Vampires or Wizards?” To which I have to say…AVADA KEDAVRA! =] (Or in honour of Snape: SECTUMSEMPRA!)

29. The true love in Twilight, however lovely to read about, is completely unrealistic. Whereas the romantic aspects of Harry Potter are built up over time to reflect the reality that is even incorporated into a magical world.

30. Rosalie Cullen may be the perfect, bitchy, blonde haired beauty who is really very nice underneath it all. But I’m sorry, Fleur Delacour is all that and more-she’s even part veela for crying out loud. And she gets Bill who is far cooler than Emmett.

31. Remus Lupin is typical of the mythological werewolves whereas the Twilight werewolves are just a shoddy version of a shapeshifter. Aren’t shapeshifters supposed to change into whatever animal they want to? I wanted to be a tiger. Thanks Meyer. Way to kill a dream!

32. Harry Potter is comedic and Ronald Weasley (what a beaut) made me laugh out loud several times throughout ALL of the books. So did Fred & George…actually Harry, Hermione and Ginny did sometimes. I barely laughed at all during the Twilight saga. And in all honesty, laughter is good for the heart and the soul. Isn’t that what they say? ;]

33. Harry Potter fans are more mature than Twilight fans (not all but most of the time) because Harry Potter is about a fight for survival, a struggle for happiness and a love that is more powerful than evil. Twilight is mainly a love story based around a love triangle. Harry Potter is much more complex!

34. I’m very sorry for those who are Team Jacob. But…he imprints on a baby? Really? It might not be paedophilic but…it’s still very creepy.

35. Harry leaves Ginny for her own protection so she smiles with a broken heart, continues to learn defence against the dark arts with the DA and battles against the Death Eaters. Edward leaves Bella for her own protection and she falls into a depression. I think I know who I’d rather be.

36. Edward might be able to read minds but Snape could teach us all Occlumency to sort out that problem. Also, Voldemort’s Legilimency is much more powerful and effective than Edward’s weak attempt at mind reading. And Aro’s is an absurd concept. Meyer needs to pay attention to Snape. “Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls,” … “the mind is a complex and many layered thing.”

37. Werewolves throw off Alice’s predictions of the future? Well, they don’t throw off Sybill Trelawney’s!

38. Harry Potter allows you to fall in love with a characters personality rather than blinding you with visions of their perfect looks.

39. Twihards got really personal and said that all Harry Potter fans are geeks with spots and greasy hair. Well, I don’t fit that description and I’m sure most of Harry Potter’s fanbase don’t either. Just saying…I think you make yourselves seem very vain.

40. Twilight is taking over too much of my life. Give up on all the merchandise, would you? I’d rather read my HP books than wear a T-shirt of it. It makes it seem as though the books and film haven’t made enough money. Stop milking it please. Thanks!

41. Harry and co. learn Defence against the dark arts, Potions, Charms, Transfiguration, Care of Magical Creatures etc etc etc. How amazing would that be? Bella and co. learn Maths, Science, English…P.E? Oh how…imaginative.

42. Alright, so Vamps and Werewolves can run pretty fast. So join the olympics why don’t you? Witches and Wizards can apparate or jump on a firebolt! Hmmm…flying a magical broomstick & disappearing into thin air & appearing somewhere else…or do I just want to run? Toughie, that one!

43. Did the Twilight movies do better than the Harry Potter ones? I’m not sure. But if they did then that’s their only consolation because the Harry Potter books are a worldwide phenomenom (one of the bestselling books EVER) and will be for years. Twilight is just a teen craze.

44. Oh woohoo Vampires can live forever! Who wants to live forever when “death is but the next great adventure”???!

45. Voldemort is eventually defeated, bringing a resounding, happy but heartbreaking resolution to the novels. Aro’s still knocking about, I heard.

46. Aro looks haggered because he just let the years take their toll on him. Voldemort looks like a dangerous, vehement villain because he killed several times in order to rip his soul and make himself immortal. Hmm, which is the most interesting bad guy? I wonder…

47. Jacob Black can turn into a wolf? Oh so what. SIRIUS Black can turn into a great, black dog, Peter Pettigrew can turn into a rat, James Potter can turn into a stag, Remus Lupin IS a werewolf, Rita Skeeter can turn into a beetle and Minerva Mcgonagall can turn into a cat.

48. Harry Potter = Wizards, Witches, Animagi, Werewolves, Ghosts, Poltergeists, Vampires, Dragons, Veela, Cornish Pixies, Fairies, Leprechauns, Giants, Unicorns, Basilisks, Trolls, Goblins, Centaurs, Muggle borns, Squibs etc.
Twilight = Vampires, Shapeshifters, Vampires, Shapeshifters…erm…humans?

49. Harry manages to fall in love and keep a functional & beautiful relationship with Ginny without stalking her a little! =D
