The Harry Potter vs Twilight war is a huge phenomenon in the literary world. We have Artikel floating around in the Internet (even in CAT) where both camps vehemently defend their fandoms. I am a huge Harry Potter fan, but today, I am not going to take sides. How it started, and how it evolved in a full-scale clash between Fans of both series is something I would cover in this article.
It started off with a few websites claiming Twilight is the new Harry Potter. Harry Potter fans, of course, would not take it sitting down, and they wrote Artikel with reasons why Harry Potter is better than Twilight. Then Twilight Fans read the Artikel the Harry Potter Fans wrote, and they fought back, coming up with their own reasons why Twilight is better than Harry Potter. And then the HP camp got furious, moved to Youtube and gepostet Videos about the whole affair. And then Twilight Fans gepostet Antworten to the Videos the HP Fans put up... Du get the picture.
I think the whole clash is silly. (no offense to anyone, especially to my fellow HP fans.)
1) The two series, while in the Fantasy genre, are different in their themes.
Harry Potter is the good-vs-evil fight, and contains a lot Mehr action and mystery, with many plot twists thrown along the way. Twilight is pretty straight-forward, it is a romance series with a girl who would do anything to be with her true love.
2) The way they approach magic is different. Harry uses magic most of the time, but in the war with Voldemort, he relies on his human nature (by sacrificing himself for his friends, like how his mother sacrificed herself for him) to defeat the Dark Wizard. Witches and wizards in the Harry Potter series also have struggles like us, despite their magical powers.
In the Twilight series, Bella is always shown as being a weak human. She is only strong after her transformation as a vampire. She relies on magic Mehr than her humanity, and after her transformation, she doesn't seem to have any struggle.
3) Love.
Both series approach Liebe differently. While Harry has his romantic interests, a greater importance is shown for platonic Liebe (love with friends). The first people Harry turn to are Ron and Hermione. However, Twilight focuses Mehr on romantic love, and the first people Bella turns to is Edward and Jacob (who are her Liebe interests).
4) Girls.
The girls in the series are different. Bella (before her transformation) has to rely on stronger people (the vampires/werewolves) to help her and she rarely voices her opinions. Hermione in the Harry Potter series constantly puts herself in the line of danger, and being the smartest person in the school, she argues with the boys. Most of the time, her timely wit saves the day.
With these reasons, I think the Twilight series and the Harry Potter series shouldn't be compared.

I was in the eleventh grade when I first read the fourth book : Breaking Dawn. Here I will express my opinion about it.
I liked actually the first parts of the book,they really got me interested and then when I read the other chapters of the book I got really,really bored and almost fell asleep. I think that it was very good that Bella finally became a vampire because it was time for her to overcome her fear and insecurities.
I wondered what would have happened if Bella had made an abortion and haven't gegeben birth to that spawn. It would be very interesting if that had happened. Actually I liked the book better than the film and I liked only the first part of the film because it was Mehr interesting and had some kind of storyline.
I personally regret having watched the Sekunde part of the film .

On this beautiful spot of fanpop, there's a video link to "Charlie reads Twilight". Originally its "Alex read Twilight". Anyways, I checked it out.
It's this guy, he's about 20 years old I'd say, and he bought himself a copy of Twilight. He reads this on camera, making his comments, one chapter per video. And he's absolutely HILARIOUS! He points out things like odd phrases ("the sun was at the wrong place in the sky") and grammar faults. He sees little things Du might not have found yourself.
The Videos do contain a bit of swearing but other then that, they are mostly all right.
