How is Harry Potter Better than Twilight?

Answer 1

Harry Potter is not just a good fictional read - it is an extremely clever series. JK Rowling has invented a very detailed and easily visable world, with spells, towns, characters and a well thought out history. The characters are also extremely likeable and relatable, despite the fact that they are wizards and witches who face battles and dangers. Not to mention that JK Rowling is an extremely talented author. There are intricate plot lines throughout the whole series which no one even realised - it leaves the reader shocked and wanting more with every book.

The Twilight series is popular mainly due to the love story and the characters of Edward Cullen and Jacob Black. It is a cute and romantic story which many people would dream of having, and Twilight is a way of living that dream.

However - the series is very one-dimensional compared to the extremely complex world JK has created. A theme park has been made out of the Harry Potter series for example - Twilight could probably never achieve something so creative.

My advice: read both series. You will understand that the Harry Potter series is far more advanced when it comes to literary standards. Yes, people with differing opinions will disagree, but by world sales and fans Harry Potter is by far the more acknowleged series.

The Harry Potter world is so developed and it's something really different , whilst Twilight is set in a town in America and at the moment there are a lot of vampire books which means it isn't a unique as Harry Potter. Also many judge the films as well and some think that the Twilight films ruined the books, but Harry Potter stayed quite true to the books and they were spectacular.

Answer 2

To be perfectly honest this is an opinion, personally I think the HP books are better in both Film and Book form (coming from someone who has read and watched both)

1. Harry Potter has a strict storyline, it follows it through, and J.K Rowling has very clever and secret inputs referring to the past and future throughout. Such as the Maruaders map and the Order of the Phoniex.

2. Harry Potter's quotes don't refer just to love, it refers to strength and perserverance, hapiness and depression and joy. As good as some of Twilights quotes are, they mostly stay in the category of love and that does bore me after a little while.

3. The Characters all grow throughout the books and films. Not just in apperance but in personality, Nevilie's courage, Draco's Independence (not the best example, but something along those lines) The Weasley twin's sentimental side.

4. The Morals in HP in both books and films are, sadly a whole lot better. But Meyer did good work for teen fiction. Courage and mercy, and hapiness and the strength of friendship, standing up to your friends as well as your enemys, confronting danger in sacrafice for doing the right thing, defending what's important to you. Twilight, is mostly about love, which is good for a romance, which I honestly wouldn't mind if twilight fans admitted this, but they lie out of every single place in their body saying about how it's about everything i've just said, when in actual fact it's not. It's about her boyfriend, and how Bella's life evolves around Edward.

5. The fantasy is more beautiful in HP. I mean when you say VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES AND MORTALS AND HUGE WARS, it sounds epic, but it doesn't really set off that amazing feeling of beauty about the whole magical thing. It's a fantasy/romance novel and it doesn't carry the fantasy very well. The description's of everyting is either repeated or isn't very good. While in Harry Potter, if you read when Harry first goes into the great hall, you suddenly adore hogwarts, how the pictures move, the secret passages, and ghosts. Forks is a beautiful place, but Bella's misery about everything kind of sheilds the beauty the book could have achevied.

6. The Character's personality's are stronger and more intresting to read about. What I love about HP is the amazing alien like world the wizarding world is, but how human all the people who live in it are. The character's in twilight are all either fantasically nice and cute or evil. They have no other side, the good characters are perfect and the bad characters are well, bad. The only people who only have one side to them in HP is Voldemort. Voldemort kills for fun, he is the typical evil villian, but he can get away with this because he is so perfectly potrayed, you're scared of him, and in this day and age, it's hard to be scared of a typical bad villian because there are so many Horror movies out there, if you don't make a horror movie, you can't be scared because the only way to scare people now is with blood and gore and disgustingness ( that's not a word)

8. No offence to the films, but Harry Potter actors and actresses are generally better. Now, admittelley sometimes Twilight did cast well, but not again and again and again, such as HP did. The HP cast are attatched to their characters and know exactly how they want to potray them, whereas, Robert Pattinson ( who no offence, was better looking and looked happier while in the HP movie) has admittley and offically said he hates the twilight books and 3/4 films.

It is an opnion, but personally, not being modest or anything, these are valid opinion, that twilight fans could try and top, but you know, Twilight did an alright job, just not as good as Harry Potter.
