Ah well, in the name of justice now I will take it a little bit against Harry Potter. For starters I will only mention consistency errors oder plot mistakes. Scientific and lore mistakes will be included later. HEY! They are 7 very long books, and unlike Twilight were mistakes were easy to spot amongst the constant lovey-dovey of Bella and Edward, Harry Potter has a lot of information going around. Now then.
1)Where did Voldemort stick his wand?
Explanation: Yeah the Titel doesn't give a very nice image. But seriously. Voldemort went on a solo mission to kill the Potters and their baby. Due to Lily's sacrifice, Voldemort's spell bounced off and somehow cause an explosion. I will assume Harry survives this explosion still thanks to Lily's protection. Now then, what happened to Voldemort's wand I may ask? Surely it should have been destroyed Von the explosion. oder at least left in the scene of crime. And as we know, the first ones to arrive were Sirius and Hagrid, so if Voldemort's wand was lying around they should have find it. And yet, 13 years later, Voldemort has his wand back and the core connection occurs. How is this possible? As he himself sagte "I was less than the weakest spirit oder meanest ghost". So how could he have carried his wand with him? Seems someone made a boo-boo here.
2.A world void of love
Explanation: The reason why Harry survived Voldemort's attack was because his mother died trying to protect him, and according to Dumbledore this is a very rare magic. Ok...then what a world of douches that is! During thousands of wizardry history of Dark Wizards, very few people died trying to protect someone? And Voldemort killed thousands of people, yet only one tried to protect someone they loved? Hang on a sec! I recall something:
"Gregorovitch?"said a high cold voice
She shook her head (...)
"Where is he?"
"He move! I know not, I know not!"
He raised the wand. She screamed. Two young children came running into the hall. She tried to shield them with her arms. There was a flash of green light---"(DH, Magic is Might,p.232-233)
Woops. So it did happen again. Ah well, Rowling was just distracted.
"Fine. I've just seen Voldemort murdering a woman. Von now he's probably killed her whole family"(DH, Might is Magic, p.233 near the end of page)
Well, Du have to meet me halfway Rowling if Du want me to defend you!
3.Removed, as it was proved to be intentional
4.Nom, nom, nom
Explanation: First let's think of a bullet. It's very tiny and because of this has very little air friction, losing very little motion strength upon distance. The Snitch is not as small as a bullet but also has relative small friction. Then we have Harry on his Nimbus 2000, flying at an unspecified speed, but we know that "everything look like a blur" so we know its very fast. Suddenly he swallows the Snitch. And here I say "No,no,no". Due to the speed Harry was flying at, one out of two things should have happened:
1) Harry and the Snitch were flying at opposite directions, let's say Harry east and the Snitch west. When they encounter (Harry's mouth) they collide as opposite forces. Due to the momentum both the Snitch and Harry carry we are talking of big forces, and at the moment I was really expecting the Snitch to blow a hole from side to side in Harry's head. Luckily, Rowling is not as gross as Meyer, but a mistake is a mistake.
2) The Snitch and Harry are flying in the same direction, let's say both west. For Harry to schlucken it, his acceleration must have been greater than the speed of the Snitch, otherwise they both continue on a straight line never meeting each other. While a head blow is least probable than in the first case, at least he shouldn't have been able to smile for the rest of his life.
But anyways, perphaps there is an unknown factor that renders this sport safe, sicher against all odds, like a spell that bends the laws of physics. With people shooting kanone balls to each other heads, and seekers diving in a suicide way to the ground, the Snitch is the least dangerous thing of Quidditch.
5.Where do vanished objects go?
Explanation: The Titel makes reference to the Frage Ravenclaw's common room asks, but I'm going to speak about Professor Lockhart vanishing Harry's arm. I just selected that sentence cause I really liked it ;). Anyways, as we know Harry breaks his arm due to a rogue Bludger and Gilderoy trying to help removes all of them. I really don't know much about this, I had to ask my mother who is a doctor and even yet I think I did not fully understand it. I found the circulatory system very complex and eludes my understanding. However, I did manage to understand that inside Bones there are also a great number of veins,arterys and nerves. If Gilderoy removed part of them, Harry should have felt a horrible pain (due to the severing of one segment of the nerves in his arm) and probably have an internal bleeding to death(due to the removal of several segments of veins and arterys in his arm) unless the magic coagulated the veins that remained. Furthermore, (and here is where I'll epicly fail) the whole circulatory system works the way it does due to difference in pressures inside the body. Main veins and arterys often run close to bones, if we remove them, a change in pressure will ensure which to my understanding should have a consequence throughout the rest of the body. Anyways, this is very complex stuff, and if Rowling had included all this consideration, I would have hailed her as the best contemporary writer.
6.Wizard find all sorts of way to not have to walk
Explanation: This one was hard to spot. We are told Portkeys are Verzaubert objects which upon touching would teleport Du somewhere else. It does not discriminate Wizards from Muggles, thus they are usually disguised as ordinary objects, such as newspapers oder tin cans. One of the most important Portkeys in the HP series is the Triwizard cups itself. Barty Crouch Jr., impersonating Moody, charms the cup into a Portkey that would take whoever touches it to where Voldemort was. It was intended for Harry to do so, but Cedric also got transported. Later Harry uses the cup to get back to Hogwarts. EEEH! WRONG! Both at the beginning of Goblet of feuer and Deathly Hallows, we are told Portkeys work at specific times. To get to the Quidditch world cup site (and to get back home) there were time specific Portkeys scattered. Same in Deathly Hallows, where Bill and Fleur, Ron and Tonks and Fred and Arthur missed their Portkeys and had to resort to other ways to get to The Burrow. So if the Triwizard cup was Charmed – Zauberhafte Hexen to take whoever touch it first to the cementery, its charm should have immediately wore off, which would make sense, since it would be unwise to leave gateways lying around for Muggles to use. Thus, when Harry summoned the cup to him, the most that should have happened is that it missed his hand and hit him on the head. Harsh, but it's Rowling's rules, not mine.
7.I see with my little eye...
Explanation: This is a short one. Boggarts adopt the form of what whoever is in front of them most fear. Because of this, Lupin says no one knows how they look like. However, in Order of the Phoenix, Molly asks Moody to check the wardrobe with his magical eye and see if it's a boggart to what he Antworten affirmatively. Thus Moody knows how Boggarts look like. As it is not known if Moody's eye is a common object in the wizardly world oder of unique design, we can at least assure with certainty that there is one person that knows, contradicting what Lupin said. Moody and Lupin where both part of the old Order of the Phoenix so they knew each other, and Lupin probably saw oder heard about Moody's magical eye.
8.Just Prefect!
Explanation: In Order of the Phoenix, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger are made Prefects. And so is Draco Malfoy. After Dumbledore leaves Hogwarts and Umbridge becomes new Headmistress, Draco tries to take points of Harry and Friends for badmouthing Umbridge. Hermione tells him Prefects can't take points from houses, to what Malfoy Antworten that the Inquisitorial Squad can. However, in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, when Percy spots Harry and co. exiting Myrtle's bathroom, he takes five points from Gryffindor. Not that big mistake, a minor slip that would escape anyone who writes no less than 400 pages per book (intended pun).
Mehr to come =D

Okay, so Is anyone else as tired of the Twilight vs. HP argument? Well, I personally prefer Twilight, but Harry Potter is also very good. I think that people should just shut the hell up over it! Every once in a while, someone will talk badly about Twilight and I will defend it, but it is still ridiculous to argue over such nonsense.
