FACT. There are a few MATURE Twilight fans (they are an endangered species, my friend is one of them, BTW) that could argue against that.

As anyone else here noticed how most Twilight fans seem to have had the part of their brains that control literacy removed?


Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?

Re: Fact: Harry Potter Is Better Than Twilight

Guys, geez, stop butthurting over the joking title of the thread. IT IS A FACT that more people went to see HP7 at midnight than Twilight.

Re: Fact: Harry Potter Is Better Than Twilight

I personally prefer HP to Twilight. I think that twilight is generally preferred more by girls and since there is quite a minority of them on Scratch I think this thread is going to greatly favour HP  tongue

I'm disappointed that they're splitting the last twilight book into two parts, it's all about money making, just like the harry potter finale  sad

Honestly, it felt like splitting into two parts was copying Harry Potter a lot.

Both of the new Harry Potters (made for story or money or not) were great, but that just doesn't make sense or translate into Twilight.

Okay, sure Harry Potter is cool has little wands with cool spells and awesome battles but Twilight is a romantic action movie.

My friend and a lot of other people loved Harry Potter when it came out but over the years the people got tired of it. Yes, I have seen the movies, and I'm going to watch the Twilight movies. But an outbreak of girls would go to Twilight and since half of the world is men, some single men wouldn't want to see vampire movies with romance. Of course they'd pick Harry Potter or Transformers (which was a really AWSUM movie!!!). My point is Twilight may be unpopular to boys and some girls but that doesn't make it unpopular to most Twilight loving girls.

oh, so a girl falling in love with a vampire FOR THAT REASON ENTIRELY then them both almost dying a lot is better than something with actual plot?  Pshh.  Sure, the shirtless scenes help the movie's sales, but A MOVIE THAT NEEDS THOSE TO GAIN VIEWERS ISN'T GOOD IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Okay, the shirtless scenes isn't really the ONLY thing that brings people in. Why do you like Harry Potter? Because it has cool effects! We are all evenly matched here no matter what you all say! And of course another reason why Harry Potter has more views is because there's like seven movies and twilight has like four or five. Its a good movie and I don't want to argue. And I'm not saying Harry Potter is bad. Harry Potter is a very well-thought out movie, I'm just defending the rights of Twilight. Thank you.

What is this truth.

You realize these sales numbers are for ONE MOVIE, not the whole series right? The more books/movies arguement is invalid.

There is SACRIFICE for loved ones in Harry Potter. The romance argument is invalid.

And the twilight books were based on Stephanie Meyers dream. Robert Pattinson doesn't like the books. (He said he felt like he was reading her love fantasy)

And as for popularity, there's just more appeal in Harry Potter. Branching out away from just teenage girls and middle-aged moms.

The top part IS true!!! More kids would see Harry Potter because its more of a magicy kids/teenish thing.
