  • Edward was in Harry Potter!

  • Harry Potter! duh!

  • I can honestly say without being biased that Harry Potter is generally so much better written than Twilight. The plot, the characters, everything. It's sad to think that Twilight has become so huge that we are even allowed to compare it to Harry Potter. It's ridiculous. It's like comparing Justin Bieber to the Beatles. I worry about what this world has come to sometimes :/

  • Why is there even a debate? how many of us when we were kids dressed up as harry potter for halloween.. now how many of us did that with that edward prick?

  • Harry Potter: A story about coming together and sacraficing for the greater good. About friendship, love and good vs. evil

    Twilight: A girl loving a guy whos thousands of years older who could kill her

  • Harry Potter is what convinced me to start reading

  • twilight sucks dobby's asshole!!!

  • Harry Potter is so awesome. It actually got people into reading books. Its like so British too! The fancy names, the accent, the story and the creativity. It takes so much effort to make a Harry Potter film, than a twilight film (which btw, has no proper dialogues).

  • They're both crap. LOL

  • Harry Potter all the way <3 Twilight's just a four movie thing, but Harry Potter's been with us for more than a decade! SCREW PEOPLE WHO LIKE TWILIGHT

  • Harry Potter Rocks!!! <3! Twilight fans just don't know what they're talking about!! T_T

  • HARRY POTTER!!! UGH FORGET ABOUT TWILIGHT T_T

  • Twilight: A story about a girl's choice between bestiality and necrophilia.

  • If Twilight will ever be better than HP-I will get all Potterheads to go and shoot Stephenie Meyer for ever creating this monstrosity.

  • ! Fuck man, are people STILL debating this? !

    I though everyone agreed that HP killed twilight.

  • I am so Harry potter all the way, And since twilight split there last book into 2 movies they are being such copy cats

  • i love how the harry potter debaters are better than the twilighters. they have more concrete evidence and coherent thoughts

  • HARRY POTTER FOREVER!!

  • The day Twilight is more famous than HP is the day literacy died

  • Harry Potter will always win, it has fans from every age group, its well written and its loved by anyone who picks it up!

  • The Harry Potter girls seem more articulate and intelligent than the Twilight girls.

  • no need for debate potter will always rule,

  • Harry Potter, Always.

  • i remember the good 'ole days when vampires sucked blood, not dick. HARRY POTTER ALL THE WAY YOU BITCHES.

  • how about this let people that love twilight love twilight people that love harry potter love harry potter does it really mater what book you like

  • Harry Potter: Good Literature

    Twilight: Failure

  • fuck twilight!

  • harry potter is an era

    twilight is an error

  • @LuvPeace2525 haahahahahahahahahahha genius

  • POTTER POTTER POTTER POTTER POTTER POTTER POTTER POTTER

  • If you are dimwitted enough to believe Twilight is truly better or even more popular than Harry Potter, yeah right. HP sold more than %1380 more books than twilight books. (And $7.7B in movies.) And we have a Potter World. Oh yea--Potter's also not sexist, bland, predictable, childish, immature, cliche, or poorly written.

  • @SirAvalord That is oooooooh so true

  • @SirAvalord and adding on to what you said its a proven fact that every thirty seconds someone in the world starts reading a harry potter book.

  • Harry Potter is my childhood.

  • Twilight may win but Potter always get's the snitch :)

  • harry potter deserved to win.I LOVE YOU J.K ROWLING.

  • It is funny how the twilight side can't put anything against Harry Potter

  • Twilight fans: ZOMG LOOK AT TAYLOR LAUTNER'S ABS SO HOT OMGGGGG! :@

    Harry Potter fans: We had a really fun and great time watching the movies and reading the books, and everytime we see the movies it reminds us of our childhoods.

  • It's just that Harry potter is about a boy and these amazing adventures. He is strong and tough and knows what he's fighting for. However twilight is about love and having a boyfriend. Which obviously gives men no interests. Also bella is not strong and she does not know what she's fighting for.

    Harry potter- all ages all gender

    Twilight- teenage girls and single women in their 30's GO HARRY POTTER

  • just a quick poll....

    Thumbs up if you love Harry Potter

    Thumbs down if you love Twilight

    Thumbs up if you hate Twilight

    Thumbs down if you hate Harry Potter

    ..........this ought to be interesting....

  • @b1ngban9b0ng But what if I don't like either?

  • @brandonhart61 pick one :L

  • @brandonhart61 then you're one of the lucky few who isnt by bothered by the opposing side's stupidity..................

  • Harry Potter is all about confronting fears, finding inner strength, and doing what is right in the face of adveristy. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend." - Stephen King. This says it all. :)

  • you people get a life! I support HP all the way but you can't waste time debating which is best

  • Harry Potter and Twilight suck equally, I hate both of them quite frankly.

  • @brandonhart61 i agree with you

  • @BlackDiamond1774 then why did you watch the video which included both of them in the title?

  • @IzzydaLlama Because it's his expression of free speech that he doesn't like any of these series and that this argument about which one is best is absolutely pathetic because both of them suck.

  • @brandonhart61 I just think its funny you have the time to go to a video on a topic you don't like just to hate. The idea seems foreign and ridiculous to me, but I guess whatever makes you happy. If that's hating behind the wall of the internet, so be it

  • @brandonhart61 you are wrong!

  • @dajamster55 No I'm sorry, I respect J.K for making a ton of money, but I hate the hp series just as much as the vampire one.

  • "Most popular series for the last several years, if not the last several decades."?

    Um, news flash, Twilight hasn't even been out for 5. Harry Potter FTW.

  • Team Neville!

  • This is my opinion: I dont know how Twilight is famous?? its not better then Harry potter and it will never be. Its pointless comparing them because Harry Potter is way better. Im still mad at how Twilight got more rewards then HP.

  • @starflower250 Yeah, Twilight shouldn't exist....

  • Truth be told. Neither book series don't have shit on the chronicles of Vladamir Tod. Fuck Hp... Fuck Twilight. Lord of the rings and chronicles of Vlad Tod FTW

  • LOL WHO IS A BETTER VILLAIN?? ARE YOU SERIOUS?? Voldemort is the depiction of fucking evil, he looks evil, he talks evil, he tried to kill Harry when he was a baby for fucks sakes! He is inspired on many evil characters of other fantasy books, TRUE FANTASY books like Lord of the Rings. What is Twilight inspired on? Twinkle and sparkle "evil" vampires? Come on, one abracadabra spell from Voldemort and theyre cold dead, oh wait, they actually kill Robert Pattinson like that on the 4th movie, LOL!

  • JINGLE BELLS, TWILIGHT SMELLS, EDWARD RAN AWAY, BELLA DIED, JACOB CRIED, POTTER ALL THE WAY! HEY!

  • @miasinclairlover lol. im gonna start singing that whenever im around twihards :P

  • Comment removed

  • @superfan7100 Wow, and your maybe the first one with THAT HORRIBLE GRAMMAR! Yeah, Twilight is fucked up and piece of shit, truth hurts and you have to accept it.

  • @TheBAMitsHenry i didn't mean for it to come out like i don't like harry potter actually i like both oh and the reason why my spelling sucks is because i'm 10

  • @superfan7100 there i took it down happy now

  • @superfan7100 Alright, sorry, but my opinion is that Harry Potter is just amazing and Twilight sucks.

  • @superfan7100 you know, your song is worse than twilight.. :p

    suck up that JERK

  • Harry Potter is about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend.

  • In your face twilight!double win!

  • I can totally understand why Harry Potter won. Like they said, it's mostly teenage girls who read Twilight while kids and adults all enjoy HP. I remember 1st reading HP in 3grade and loving it. And I don't think Bella's very strong-I don't think she's all such a good character. I mean,she tried to drown herself just to hear her bf voice (who does that?!) while in HP 7 when Ron left Hermione remained strong and supported Harry. HP's better-but that's only my opinion being a Harry Potter freak.

  • YAY HARRY POTTER YAY WE WON in your face twilight

  • The Twilight fans contradicted themselves. They explained it as the complete opposite of what it is!

  • at 2:00 Im allready rooting for Harry Potter! DUH

  • Hmmm Team Edward or Team Jacob.....

    TEAM HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!!!!

  • Harry Potter is about true friendship, courage, to stand up for what you believe in, to help and protect those you love.

    Twilight is about how extremely important it is to have a boyfriend.

  • Who won

  • twilight is for little girls

  • @PinkRockstar218 Dashing through the woods, Snatchers are on the way, Out of the Malfoys we go, Gryffindor all the way! Curses start to spring, Lighting up the night, We are on a mission And we'll fight until we die! Jingle Bells, Twilight smells, Edward ran away! Bella dies, Jacob Cries, Potter all the way! Hey! Wow I'm the MASTER
  • all you twi-hards and HP fans, i don't care who you are, go read THE HUNGER GAMES! if you like HP's adventure, and Twilight's romance, or just HP/Twilight, it won't matter. YOU WILL LOVE IT. thank me later…or not

  • How the hell can Twilight be on the same level as Harry? its only compared just because bias little girls made Twilight popular.

  • Oh god what an insult to harry potter

  • 1:40 I love Harry Potter and I hate Twilight, but NO, the houses didn't really learn to work together. They banished all the Slytherins to the dungeon for the duration for the battle for the words of one Slytherin (Pansy).

    The HP people still won though.

  • @SazVlogs ... uh, no they didn't, they had filch take the younger kids and those who chose not to fight, including gryfindors and ravenclaws as well as slytherins (ever hufflepuff stayed). You should open up the book again ;)

  • @SazVlogs That's only in the movie. The LEGIT, BOOK version was the Filch escorted them out.

  • @LilMissFlirty101 Yeah, to the dungeon. On the basis of one statement.

  • @SazVlogs No, I believe it was McGongall thanking her then asking Filch to get the Slytherins out of there, unless they want to fight. She never said the dungeons, just to escort them out. The dungeons part was added by David Yates or Steve Kolves (-___- Hate then both)

  • @LilMissFlirty101 No, unless there are two versions or something. I have the book open to page 420-421. Pansy says one thing and McGonagall says "Thank you Miss Parkinson. You will leave the Hall first with Mr Filch. If the rest of your house could follow."

    No dungeons, but no choice for the other Slytherins either.

  • @SazVlogs 420-421? That's when they visit Xeno Lovegood and the Death Eaters show up...it's actually 610, but she said before that if anyone of age wanted to stay and fight, then could, and that apparently applied to the Slytherins too.

  • @LilMissFlirty101 It's 420 in the print I have. Yours is probably different. Apparently it seems so, but then she makes an exception for Slytherin. That's what I took from it anyway.

  • @LilMissFlirty101 If you hate them, don't bother watching the movies, weak-minded fool.

  • @hockeyfan202 Hate Twilight? Well, thanks for your kind words, and rest reassured that I would never do something as stupid as watch the movies, the books were bad enough.

  • Wtf hiw they dare? Harry Potter smash Twillight!! Smackdown!

    (Thumbs up, if you hate vampires gays!)

  • It actually annoys me when people claim that Twilight is better than Harry Potter - some people PREFER Twilight to Harry but Harry Potter is always the better read! I'm not just saying that because I like Harry Potter - it's true!

  • And also Harry is fighting evil and Twilight is evil. Isn't it bad to drink people's blod or what?!

  • Oh it's so much interesting to watch Harry Potter's adventures, then Twilight's. Harry, Ron and Hermione are exploring, they find traces and it is so fun to watch Harry in the chamber of secret' or when he faces chalenges in triwizard tournament. And there is also a lot of death and we feel so sorry for Harry's parents, Fred, Snape, Dumbledore and ofcourse Cedric (so the comfort for killing Voldemort in the end is barely enough. Honestly, I think people like Twilight just beacuse of hot actors!

  • Pointless.

  • Harry Potter is about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend.

  • Here's the deal:

    Twilight Fans: "OOOH JACOB IS HOT!!! OOH EDWARD IS HOT!! TWILIGHT FOR EVAA!!!"

    Harry Potter fans: "Harry Potter has changed my life, Harry Potter has made the generation into reading, it teaches us how important it is to help one another in attaining our goals. Harry Potter for ever!"

    Who's better? Harry Potter or Twilight?

    Harry Potter = Love and Help for friends, family and relatives and fighting the dark lord.

    Twilight - Vampire sex bullshit

  • Harry Potter is WAYYYY Better <7

  • People have been debating which is the better series almost as long as both have existed? Wtf, Harry Potter existed over a decade before the idea of Twilight was even born... o_O

  • FUCK TWILIGHT!

  • harry potter best movie and books

    twilight is shit

  • JINGLE BELLS, TWILIGHT SMELLS, EDWARD RAN AWAY, BELLA DIES, JACOB CRIES, POTTER ALL THE WAY!

  • "Twilight only appeals to teenage girls." Don't you think that that's generalisation? I'm a guy in case you haven't noticed and I've read all the books and love them. I know at least 20 other guys that like it.

    I’d say that means 50 points from Ravenclaw, making Twilight the winners of the “Which is the best fantasy debate.”

  • @MattRuaneBlog You are most certainly not a professor and thus cannot deduct house points. Even if you could, "Twilight" isn't a house, and thus does not qualify for the house tournament, the only thing you can win with points. I'm afraid I must assign you some extra homework. You are to read all seven Harry Potter books and write me a paper on your bad taste in literature.

  • @hotnoodle101 I've already read them, and I said the “Which is the best fantasy debate.” Try reading before responding and remember it's your opinion, not a fact.

  • @MattRuaneBlog Obviously not well. I am pointing out that debates cannot be won with house points, why don't you try rereading my argument? Although if you're in Twilight mode I wouldn't blame you for misunderstanding the genius that is Harry Potter. Bella's an idiot, Edward's a stalker, and Jacob's a pedophile. Get over it.

    @hockeyfan202 A Hockey fan and an anti? What team do you support? :3

  • @hotnoodle101 Dude I love them equally, I grew up on Potter. I just hate it when people don’t look at a story and judge it for its inner detail rather than the outline. Maybe you should look at Eclipse and Breaking Dawn again to find out how the imprinting thing ACTUALLY WORKS. And anyway at the end of the day a piece of literature is there to be appreciated, and the one thing that’s wrong with Potter is the Potterheads.

  • @MattRuaneBlog They can be equally as arrogant and stupid as they claim Twihards to be, and that just gives potter a bad image it doesn’t deserve. Bella’s not an idiot, she’s misunderstood, Edward was in love, we’re all guilty of acting that way once in our lives, and Jacob just let Mother Nature take her cause. The whole point of stories like these two is to create a new enjoyable experience.

  • @MattRuaneBlog But just like when you first listen to your English literature teacher read Shakespeare, you act childish and don’t even give it a chance. You don’t even deserve such a literary masterpiece in your life as Harry Potter I'm ending it here mate as you clearly can't say anything that’s half original, so don’t bother responding.

  • @MattRuaneBlog I happen to love Shakespeare, and have since my mother read me The Tempest when I was nine, though I'm not sure your first comment was directed at me. Emmett and Alice I actually find enjoyable, I'm disgusted in different ways by the whole series, and it's not my place to say whether or not vampires sparkle, though if they're evolutionary I have to say it doesn't lend itself to being discreet.

  • @hotnoodle101 Well it's nice to know you're an exception with the Shakespeare. I don't have a problem with you, just the general people who bash Twilight and do so with little logic. I'm just an incredible lover of literature and got hooked with both book series. I don't mind there being compettition between Potter and Twilight. But i just wish that people could not tend to get grossed out to much by the impinting part with Jacob and Nessie & etc. No hard feelings, have a good day.

  • @MattRuaneBlog While I cannot consider Twilight literature, I hold nothing against you for liking it, I'm glad to know that "omfg harry potter fans r nerdz, TWILIGHT 4EVER!!!1111!!!!!!" isn't the only argument for it. I personally cannot condone the imprinting, but I'm sure there are people who cannot condone the actions of Alex DeLarge, different strokes for different folks and all. Of course I wish you no personal harm, the same to you. :)

  • @hotnoodle101 Yeah that's good to hear. :)

  • @MattRuaneBlog I have, and it's this: "Well, we'll be siblings until she's fifteen, than we'll be makeout buddies!" It's creepy. I cannot stand Twilight. It's terrible, there is nothing there to appreciate. Glad to hear you like Harry Potter, though. No, Bella is a whiny little bitch who can't do shit for herself, Edward isn't hated by the world and thus is not a loveable stalker,(cont.)

  • @hotnoodle101 I honestly don't care if someone does like Twilight or not, but try doing the following.

    1. Don't knock off all the characters just for the main protagonists; remember Carlisle, Alice, Jane, Alec, Aro, Emmett, Jasper, Demetri, and Marcus.

    2. Try not to get too grossed out by one unique sequence.

    3. Remember a vampire is no more a fairy for having granite in his skin than a wizard for a wand in his hand (though admittedly you didn't say that).

  • @MattRuaneBlog and though Jacob can't really be blamed, it was really creepy that Meyer tried to make that something romantic. It's not enjoyable, it's just creepy.

  • Problems with team Potters statements "Bella's male dependant and weak". She has no sense of fear and she cares more for her friends and family than herself. Bella went after Edward the moment she found out where he was, so don't go worshipping Hermione for a jealous nob like Ron.

  • @MattRuaneBlog She has no sense of fear because she RELIES on Edward to fight all her battles for her and she went after Edward because she needed him to RELY on because she RELIES on men to make her happy.

  • @hockeyfan202 "She has no sense of fear because she RELIES on Edward" Tell me do you think that she's just fearless because she has a vampire to protect her? She was prepared to go and trade her life for Edwards in Volterra; she was prepared to go alone and save her mum from James without Edward, Alice, or Jasper's help and she sliced her skin open to distract Riley and Victoria to save Edward. Your homework is to read Twilight properly and do more than just glance at the pages.

  • I have never seen any movies or read any books from either series, and I say Harry Potter is better, hands down. If you want to watch a good were-wolf vs vampire series, watch the Underworld movies.

  • i don't know why they're debating about it.

  • All of twilight easily could of have been condensed into one book...it's repeating a bunch of different scenes

  • Don't blame our generation. Not all of us are stupid. Not all of us forget key points in the plots. Please don't be so bias as to blaming the whole generation. There are still a huge amount of us who know all of it :)

  • Twilight: a teenage girls choice between necrophilia and beastiality

  • HOW IS THIS EVEN A DEBATE???!!!

    Soooo much more went into HP, death eaters, hippogriffs, poly juice potions, basilisks, quidditch, it goes on and on

    What went into twatlight? There hardly was a plot, just about no conflict whatsoever, and the main charecter has the emotional range of a teaspoon

    I'm ashamed of this generation for even debating this...

  • No contest, Stephen King already settled it.

  • This is so pointless.. it's like comparing apples to oranges. This comparison shouldn't even be made in the first place. It's a flat out insult to Harry Potter to even be compared to that trash.

  • I forgot that BlackDiamond1774 was a troll

    Dh part 2 was good wtf how wasn't it good.

  • I just recently got back into hp sort of. when i said half blood prince was my least favorite, it appears the dh part 2 now takes that spot. the effects are ridiculous. the whole movie is just funny even on the parts its not supposed to be. so out of all of them dh part 2 is the worst. the movie was just silly and a waste of time. they could have done better. and jk rowling could have too. JS people

  • @SwirlTownGurl264 I agree with you

  • Twilight reads like a bad fanfic.

  • THANK YOU FINALLY A PANEL OF JUDGES MAKE A GOOD DECISION

    HANG IN THERE POTTER HEADS!!!

  • Oh, and Emma Watson can act. Kristen Stewart can't.

  • child. Twilight cannot be compared to Harry Potter. Harry Potter was one of the last few children films that are classically brilliant. Like the films from years gone by. Twilight is a load of processed tosh. Harry Potter is a true adventure, something which cannot be recaptured.

  • Harry Potter wins by a mile, the writing is intelligent and complex, and the books/films have become part of the childhoods of millions around the world. I can't really imagine what it would be like if those Harry Potter books where not published and the films brought into the lives of so many kids. When the first Harry Potter film came out, I had just read the first book. I was 7 years old. It's odd, because you kind of feel as though Hogwarts is a real place as it was a part of your life as a

  • this is twilight in a nutshell. bella: edward, i love you, lets have sex. edward: no, i might not be able to resist your blood, bella. bella: can we have sex now? edward: no. bella: how about now? edward:yes, bella: really? edward: no. bella: now?, edward: ugh....wanna get married? bella: YES. thats pretty much it.

  • twilight is a horrible series with so many flaws, the movies are even worst than the books, harry potter is better, jk rowlings spends more than a year on each of her books because she actual puts thought into it, rather than writing down the first bullshit that comes to mind.

  • Relate to Bella? How? I've probably never related to a fictional character less.

    Relate to Hermione?  Completely. She's got a lot of hard choices to make, and while she usually makes the right one, she makes mistakes too. She grow from an awkward know-it-all into a strong and independent young woman who still has a vast amount of knowledge. And then there's Ginny, Luna, Fluer, and even Lavender (who may or may not have died in the final battle).

  • Relate to....relate to...relate to.... How exactly do teenage girls relate to Bella, Alice or Victoria?

  • Harry Potter is way cooler than Twilight. Harry Potter teaches us how to be brave and stand up for each other (and the boys are so handsome especially Tom Felton). Twilight teaches us how to kill ourselves because the guy wants to end the relationship that's mental. Harry Potter is way cooler.

    POTTERHEADS RULESS!!!

  • HER-MY-NEE! HER-MY-NEE!

  • Harry Potter and that's the finale always33

  • TWILIGHT!

  • it's an insult for harry potter that they compare twilight to it all the time

  • I have read every book on both sides three times over and so I say. Harry Potter is better by far. If you try and make an argument that Twilight is good and I will back you up with a smile :) . Try and make one that it's better then Harry Potter and I will destroy you with a much bigger smile :D

  • HARRY POTTER ALL THE WAYY!!!! <3 

  • WOW , am i the onley one who actualy likes both books?........In reality Harry Potter is better , here is a proof:Joan K. Rowling writed it in 1996 (i think ) and it`s still popular .Twilight is written in 2008 and it`s already very hated ( not that i like it) (all that suden become very popular lost it`s popularity quick, Harry Potter is a great exeption :)) . I like Twilight but Twilight is written for teenagers and Harry Potter for everybody lied it when i was 7 and i like it now :))

  • Even though there wont be any debate, you'll always see Harry Potter is the best just by reading it. You see, Harry Potter is friendship and bravery mixed with love. Twilight is love. :) No offense Twilight fans.

  • @hermionerontandem

    actully twilight has wars which makes it action too

    plus twilight has hot werewolves but harry potter dont got any cute guys.....

    no offence :)

  • @AydenHansen101 So we determine what is a good movie/book by cute guys now? You aren't shallow at all...(sarcasm)

  • @AydenHansen101 Hot werewolves? Let me remind you that werewolves are not suppose to be hot. Werewolves are suppose to be evil, vicious, terrifying beasts. A beast that would rip your head off if you ever tried to kiss it or make out with it. No you wouldn't be doing any of that shit if werewolves existed and you came face to face with one. You'd be running for your life screaming your head off. Hot werewolves. Someone needs to sit down and watch a real werewolf movie. haha

  • @AydenHansen101 Have you ever seen An American Werewolf in London? Awesome werewolf movie and a classic. The guy on there turns into a werewolf. If you've seen it tell me would you want to jump in bed with that thing? I don't think so.

  • Harry Potter has been with me since i was 7 now im 13. I've read Twilight and its not a patch on Harry Potter

  • You can relate to getting stalked by your boyfriend?
