    Do i have to choose? I love both! Harry Potter is more entertaining and fun, whereas Twilight is more intense and emotional. Both appeal well to their target audience, I guess Harry Potter has a much broader appeal. Oh and I do have a thing for Edward Cullen lol :)

    Harry Potter although I've never quite understood the basis for comparison. Twilight is a supernatural romance series, Harry Potter is fantasy. Twilight is about vampires and werewolves, Harry Potter has practically everything BUT vampires (they're mentioned in passing I think but never actually play into the story). The Twilight creatures expose themselves to mortals, in Harry Potter that's a crime. Twilight has three characters, Harry Potter has dozens of secondary characters who are developed almost as thoroughly as the main characters. I really think it's a case of comparing apples to basketballs.

    Twilight was ok, but I LOVE Harry Potter. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! :) Twilight I felt was basically love story and the detail in teh book wasn't good. It felt like half the books were about 'do I love edward, do I love jacob.' etc etc.

    Harry Potter on the other hadn was a well-developed and thought out story that spanned a decade of writing and everything built on everything else.

    I'm on neither!

    If I have to choose, I'd say Harry Potter because I'm at least familiar with it. I never read the books but I watched a few of the movies with kids I was babysitting. They're not bad, but the hype really killed any desire for me to ever read the books or get really into them.

    I did not quite get into Twilight. I think by the time it got famous, I was tired of the vampire theme. However, Harry Potter is in a league of its own. It really tells such a universal story in such a big way, giving lessons in a non-preachy and insightful way.

    The fundamental battle between good and evil is always so much fun to observe. The dark elements are always balanced with humor. Love it!

    So, Harry Potter for me. It has created its own universe and that is something! A universe I would love to visit too.

    While I can stomach the Twilight book ( Stephenie Meyer is actually a decent author ) I hate
    the films, where as I love the Harry Potter books and films. There's just some kind of allure.
    I don't know if I prefer magicians and warlocks to vampires, but I have yet to watch one
    single Twilight film all the way through, while I've watched all in the Harry Potter series more
    than once.
