Really...I gotta thank Tim Yoon for this. Now, I understand that random people just added reasons, so there will be repeats and what not, but I just HAD to make a reply to each one (at least for the first 40ish). Also keep in mind that I have read all the books for BOTH series (including the half-book from Edward's POV).
Read my reply side-by-side with the article, and tell me what you think! Or, don't. Whatever. ^_^ (I had to throw in an Asian smiley face there).
And here...we...go!
1. I read twilight once cuz i couldn't bear to read it again. i lost count after 12 times of rereading Harry Potter. And no one is good looking in Twilight. BAM
2. I don't think LOVE STORY can be used as a good reason for why one is better. However, all Twilight is is a love story. HP has got EVERYTHING. BAM.
3. WIZARDS DON'T NEED TO BE DEAD TO HAVE POWERS. BAM. Also, I believe in HP, vampires are ranked below wizards. In fact during Slughorn's Christmas party, it was revealed that part-humans like vampires only have few rights. At least HP has wizards AND vamps. Oh, and BAM.
4. You cannot possibly compare Alice to the Weasley twins. BAM.
5. Again, with the hot guys. No, they are not attractive. They are all skinny sticks. One of the greatest love stories ever? Don't you mean Shakespeare's Romeo+Juliet, which is partially what Twilight was based off of? BAM.
6. I'm sorry, HP is not real, but a story about VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES is real? And kids who need to grow? Please read books 2-4 of Twilight and do an analysis of Bella's character. BAM
7. Twilight is boring and HP is exciting? I think the person who posted it missed the sarcasm. BAM
8. LOL go back to school and learn how to read. BAM
9. There are zero sex scenes. Please see reply to number 8. BAM
10. Common sense to like Twilight? I feel like I need to tell everyone to refer to reply number 8...BAM
11. Again, you are missing the sarcasm. Can the person who posted this refer to number 8? BAM
12. Vampires is closer to real life? I'm sorry, please pick up a scientific/technological magazine. BAM
13. Excuse me, no one can relate to Bella. Everyone relates to Harry....that's why HP was a bigger hit than Twilight. BAM
14. If your reasoning is that Twilight is an easier read and HP is too hard, that means that your opinion is irrelevant anyway. BAM
15. This person has some *serious* issues with werewolves...And no, Books 3, 6, and 7 had werewolves, so you're actually wrong. What a surprise. BAM
16. "fantasy that is real" LOL really? Refer to 8. BAM
17. Refer to 14 and 8. BAM
18. That "pain" you describe was bitching and moaning. Bella was PMS-ing for 300 pages. No thanks. HP has more depth, themes, motifs, character development....and BAM
19. You cannot use that as the sole reason for why one book is better than another. BAM
20. Bella bitches and moans so much; I hope to NEVER be able to relate to that. Harry Potter suffers loss, being the underdog, confusion - omg basically teenage angst (see Potter Puppet Pals). BAM
21. Seeing the future is better than having magical powers? You do realize that in Harry Potter, there is both...Again, refer to number 8. And 14. BAM
22. Bella is more realistic because she is stupid? Well actually, I'm going to agree with that for the majority of the human race....But not why Twilight is better. BAM
23. Your post makes no sense to either of the books....BAM
24. Refer to 18. BAM
25. Why would you choose baseball out of all the sports in the world....this is about 98% irrelevant to the question. BAM
26. The Cullens would die for each other? Please read book 7 of HP. BAM
27. Twilight's plot is straightforward. Damn, that is definitely a requirement when I want a good, intellectual read. BAM
28. Right, then she got saved by her vampire boyfriend...cuz that's so realistic....BAM
29. The question is regarding the books, not the characters. BAM
30. I would like to think the friendships Harry made are a very strong bond since everyone is, you know, willing to die for him and all. BAM
31. Percy. BAM
32. Weasley parents. Sirius. Lupin. (insert all other parent figures for Harry). BAM
33. Refer to 30 BAM
34. I don't think any of the characters want to stay as vampires purely for that reason. BAM
35. Having to figure shit out is why they're interesting in the first place. BAM
36. No they don't. BAM
37. Avada Kedavra. Oblitero. Bye bye Edwad. BAM
38. Er...no they weren't....vampires weren't even popular for a long period of time. BAM
39. OK, you also have issues. Please come back to reality. Neither story is real. BAM
40. No, not really. They never really fought. BAM
41. This is opinion, not fact. If you are referring to the characters, please. Robert Pattinson only looks hot to you because he plays a hot character. He is in no way good looking. Every guy who gets famous is instantly "hot" regardless of attractiveness. BAM
