Harry Potter was over after the seventh. It sucked. And the movies dragged it deeper. Twilight was doomed before it came out. And that is the full story. Anybody else agree?  |

I'll agree wholeheartedly about Twilight. Harry Potter however, I saw as a great series of novels. The movies were pretty good, but not the very best in the world...Something for the fans, I suppose. Harry Potter was well thought out and planned, had deep, relatable characters and an actual plot, though it was a long one, and it was written eloquently. Twilight, not so much. It's pretty much just dribble on the face of literature. xp |

I don't think Harry Potter was that much better tbh. I mean think about it. Hogwarts? How can you take that seriously? No offence. Lol. |

Well, since both of them have new movies coming out, they're not quite dead...YET. but I have a strong feeling Harry Potter will go once the seventh movies are done. Which is, in fact, in a few years. We'll see who outlives the other XD

Twilight will easily outlive as it has a strong hold on the thirteen year old girls and... they're talking of making an anime and rumors are floating about as to the rewriting of the series only from Edward's view.
Both are horrid though. Harry potter was good when I was little and didn't know about good books, but Twilight is undeniably horrible and should never be read by a human or any intelligent being. Also I hate both writers. Twilights writer wrote well, Twilight. And J.K. Rowling is just a b***h. She won't even allow there to be any roleplaying games to be created from it believing that it would ruin all her work to allow others to meddle in her universe. |

Agreed, again. rofl I personally think that shes rich enough - why write stupid "Tales of Beedle the Bard" books just to make more money? Write a novel. A better one. talk2hand |

 Actually, all proceeds from "Beedle" went to charity. I love Harry Potter. It's something I can read over and over again and still enjoy it. To me, It'll never die. Twilight, on the other hand, is just terrible. I didn't even finish the first one. whee http://feltbeats.com/forum/gallery/54_20_11_08_4_27_53.jpg |

It just seems as if they're sucking the money out of it. But when I was 10, you're right, it was awesome. The seventh makes it impossible to re-read for me though |

Personally, I had to be forced to read three books into the Twilight series. Finally, I refused toc ontinue on and convinced my teacher to allow me to read another series as long as my assignments corresponded with the rest of the class's. Vampires that *sparkle*. Need I say more? As for Harry Potter, I must admit that I feel bittersweet concerning J. K. Rowling's "masterpiece/lifetime achievement." Along with half the world, I began the series when I was particularly young and not quite yet experienced enough to know the difference between good books and anything I thought was interesting and fueled my imagination. However, I can safely say that the great, magnificent ending I always imagined from the books was one of the worst disappointments of my brief life (i.e. trumping Dumbledors and Sirius's deaths). Ultimately, though, I have to admit that at some point in every series' career I start expecting the "turning point," when the series has gained enough popularity that the author/creator can either loosen their own reigns and write what they want and not pander as much to what they expect fans will read or the integrity of the concept is sacrificed for the sake of material gain (i.e. Fast & Furious franchise). The same goes for all great fandoms: Buffy, Charmed, Anita Blake, etc. I fear it may be inevitable.... |

Now, I'm hoping that you are keeping in mind how different the two series' are. Sure, they're both fantasy and thick, but in every other way they're completely different.
I'm sad that Harry Potter is over, but not so much about Twilight. HP was well written, thought out wonderfully, and DEAR GOD was that ever a cash cow for Rowling! She's still making millions off it every year! Twilight was just a cash cow. A sad one at that. But I demand a recount on the last few chapters of HP7! I didn't like the ending. Cept Neville. And that epilogue was pretty horrible. |

The seventh makes it impossible to re-read for me though She has written two other small books that are part of the Harry Potter world. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and Quidditch Through The Ages. Again all proceeds going to charity. And with Beedle The Bard, it is actually going to a charity that she helped create. |
