It’s been a while since i am here in this Harry Potter vs Twilight community. Now, being a die hard Harry Potter tagahanga my vote always go for the same, but I feel sa pamamagitan ng criticizing any of the two of them is insulting the world of story writing. I give it a thought why this whole Harry Potter vs Twilight thing is started and all that comes to me is a memory of mine. At some point I liked Twilight (though not as much as I am obsessed with Harry Potter). Then one araw I had an argument with a friend of mine & naturally I sided with Harry Potter but hearing illogical criticism turned me against Twilight. But again I think if we criticize Twilight it’ll hurt their feelings too.
These days I feel pity towards Twilight fans because internet is full of mad stuff against Twilight. The only reason why Twilight fans are facing such situation is because Twilight is compared with Harry Potter. You see if you have a big rope be happy with it, but you can’t boast it and compare it with someone who have a bigger rope than you. Twilight is a good story but it was a grave mistake for the fans to compare it with Harry Potter or even worse trying to prove it better.
I know if you are a Twilight tagahanga you will be feeling anguish that after all that again, I am making remark that the series they like is worse. If that is the case you are taking it all wrong. I, though being a Harry Potter fan, am still saying that Twilight is a good novel. You see we have two things –
1. The epic tale of Harry Potter
2. The Twilight saga
Again I’ll say Twilight is a good novel, but you can’t compare it with Harry Potter. So I am giving Twilight fans a suggestion, a polite suggestion to stop comparing it with something better. This way you will enjoy your liking to that series in piece. No one will be there to abuse you for liking a different series which is anyway likable and you are sane to like it.
I am also giving you some valid reasons as to why Harry Potter is better among two good one. I am doing this because I don’t want these two series compared in the abusive way they are done and susunod time I surf the internet i don’t wanna find shits on the name of two great Pagsulat works sa pamamagitan ng desperate fans. So here it goes:
1. Well developed characters - All the characters in Harry Potter series are well developed. We (HP fans) can tell full life history of any character you pinpoint. Many characters have such a life story that you can write a completely different novel dedicated to themselves, whether it is SNAPE, a great lover spending his whole life to save Lily’s son, taking great personal risks, only to remember her sa pamamagitan ng seeing into his eyes, or may be Dumbledore, despite his plans in his early teens, spending his whole life fighting for Muggle rights and their protection, never allowing himself near power, refusing post of Minister of Magic, all done for his lifelong remorse of that unfortunate event of Ariana’s death. Not only these two but justice is done with all the characters.
2. General rules - J K Rowling made some rules about what magic can do as well as what magic can’t do, and these rules apply on all the characters weather he is of good or evil side. Harry feels pain of Cruciatus curse as anybody, he has his weakness like inability to perform advance magic like Occlumency, he can be stupefied, disarmed, body-binded etc. Whereas Bella is invulnerable to Vampire powers for no apparent reason.
3. Natural behavior in Character – Rowling applied real world rules for character development. Harry being extremely famous didn’t like this fame because this fame come as result of the event in which his parents died. Draco being son of an immensively rich man with higher position in socity due to pure blood status turns out to be a bully, quite natural.
4. Real world approach - When there is a war, people from both side dies. Rowling killed characters from good side too, death of Sirius, Hedwig, Dumbledore, Mad-Eye, Lupin, Tonks and Fred were serious blow and filled her story with great emotions. In real world there are all type of peoples, of different societies, some of which are discriminated. This is perfectly portrayed sa pamamagitan ng Rowling. Weather discrimination of Muggleborns, Warewolves, elfs or Blood Traitors matches the real world discriminations. Then Harry Potter is full of different type of characters you generally find in any school like an intelligent headmaster – Dumbledore, a biased teacher – Snape, bullies – Malfoy, alimasag & Goyle, giggling girls – Cho’s friends, gossip machines – Parvati and Lavender, cool dudes – Fred & George etc.
5. Immense power of pag-ibig – It is always stated sa pamamagitan ng Twilight fans that there is no pag-ibig shown in Harry Potter which is a lie. The pag-ibig shown in Harry Potter series is at its deepest. Snape’s pag-ibig for lily was enough to change direction of his life despite of his loathing for the Dark Arts. After all tragic events of life, Harry’s power to pag-ibig is the only thing to keep him sane and fighting. Lily’s pag-ibig for his son Harry saved him not only once but many times. Hermione and Ron’s pag-ibig for Harry as a friend keep them with him till the very end and give them strength to be with him despite of all the dangers that will come their way. Harry Potter portrays not only romantic but parental pag-ibig as well as pag-ibig for humanity and that of friendship.
6. Beautiful characters – Though this is a matter of less concern but this topic is too often raised. Both Novels have some extremely beautiful characters. On one hand there were Cullens, on the other Cedric was also handsome, then breathe taking beauty of Fleur. Then Veela have magic to attract all males toward themselves. As of movie actors both movie have some very good looking and dashing actors, Robert Pattinson as Cedric or Edward is quite dashing so is Tom Felton, then there is no doubt about beauty of Emma Watson.
7. Powers – Twilight fans always boast about Bampira being fast and having amazing powers like mind pagbaba etc. Firstly, I want to state that all of these is fictional. Then, wizards don’t need to be fast when they can dissapperate mile at a time. A normal wizard can have all the powers like to give pain(cruciatus curse), mind reading(legilimency), protecting mind(Occlumency) which Bampira can have only one at a time. But the power which is shown in Harry Potter as stronger and terrible than any other is of pag-ibig and of soul which is single, intact and unmutilated.
I can go further but as I sinabi my intention is not to compare two novels but to stop such comparision.(and afterall 7 is most powerfull no.) I’ve ibingiay some fair points which i am able to conclude after pagbaba both the novels (in case of Harry Potter series – cents of times ;)). Feel free to comment weather you agree or dissagree with my any point & in return I’ll be delighted to elaborate madami after pagbaba your views.

I still pag-ibig you after all these years.
Thinking of you brings me to tears.
I see you every time I dream
To know you’re gone makes me wanna scream.
Where are you my dear?
Are you near?
I have let sin consume my heart
And I let it tear us apart.
I didn’t realize until it was too late
When you had passed the gate.
I thought we’d always be best friends
Too bad it came to an end
Your eyes and voice still haunt me.
Sometimes I wonder if you are just beyond my reach.
Where are you my dear?
Are you near?
I have let sin consume my heart
And I let it tear us apart
I didn’t realize it until it was too late
When you had passed the gate. (2x)
Why am I still here?
Thinking of you brings me to tears.
I see you every time I dream
To know you’re gone makes me wanna scream.
Where are you my dear?
Are you near?
I have let sin consume my heart
And I let it tear us apart.
I didn’t realize until it was too late
When you had passed the gate.
I thought we’d always be best friends
Too bad it came to an end
Your eyes and voice still haunt me.
Sometimes I wonder if you are just beyond my reach.
Where are you my dear?
Are you near?
I have let sin consume my heart
And I let it tear us apart
I didn’t realize it until it was too late
When you had passed the gate. (2x)
Why am I still here?
