As te can tell from my username, I am a huge Harry Potter fan. However, I wasn’t always. I used to be a Twihard (a twilight obsessed fan-girl). In fact I was one during the early stages of puberty, which is the age where most Twitards fall into the ‘romantic’ trap.
Here’s my story about how I went from ‘Twihard’ to ‘Indifferent’ to ‘Potterhead’:
I first read Twilight as a recommendation from a fellow member of the Teen Advisory Board of my library. I finished that book quickly and moved onto the next. The biblioteca didn’t have Eclipse so I read it ‘Twilight, New Moon, Breaking Dawn, Eclipse.’ I went to the movies, had all the libri and even had a blanket and giacca with Twilight plastered on it.
It didn’t really occur to me that maybe something was wrong with the series until I saw New Moon in theaters. I found myself leaving to go to the bathroom when Bella talked to the Cullens about being changed because I felt sick to my stomach. Even though I had read the libri it didn’t occur to me in my fan-girl haze how much Bella was willing to give up for the boy she shouldn’t even be with until I saw it on screen. At that time I was around thirteen and was very influenced da media, so I thought it was just a random feeling and eventually I went back to the movie.
A while after that I re-read a series I hadn’t since early sixth grade (before my Twilight Phase), that is Percy Jackson and the Olympians. While I read it I felt myself relating più to Annabeth and her feelings towards Percy than I ever did for Bella and Edward. Again, I didn’t really tell people about my new found Amore for Percy Jackson because everyone was into Twilight at my school and I was the first one in my grade to start Leggere it (Small School). I was worried about how people would see me so I acted like I still cared about Twilight, when really I didn’t care.
Then Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 came out and for the first time people I heard normally talk about Twilight seemed to forget it existed. Now I had watched the Harry Potter Film when I was younger, my Friends and I would even run around in the backyard recitazione like we were Hermione and Ginny while the deatheater (a black lab) chased after us, but I never read the books. But as the data for the last movie approached two of my best Friends encouraged me to read the books, and I was hooked.
I’ve been a Potterhead ever since.
Some Reasons I prefer Harry Potter to Twilight:
J.K. Rowling is original. – Smeyer just retold a romance filled with Mary-Sues.
J.K. Rowling put a little of herself into her characters. – Smeyer IS Bella cigno (See Picture above).
J.K. Rowling made Sirus Black a shape shifter first. – Smeyer just changed the first name, added abs, ect.
J.K. Rowling made me think. – Smeyer wants a man to think for me.
J.K. Rowling made us feel like we could be the DA. – Smeyer shows te need to be pretty to be a Cullen.
J.K. Rowling gave me magic. – Smeyer gave me a guide to tell if someone is stalking you.
J.K. Rowling created Quidditch. – Smeyer ruined baseball.
I’ve read fanfics better than Twilight.

"This baciare between Hermione and Ron is highly anticipated, it's been building up for eight films now. And Harry Potter is not Twilight, te know; we're not selling sex." - Emma Watson
If te think Emma Watson is stupid for quoting this, te are outta your mind. te think Twilight's not selling sex? Irony. Irony how some twi-hards reason out "BECAUSE EDWARD CULLEN IS SO SEXY!!!" if asked why Twilight is better than Harry Potter.
For me, Twilight is just popolare 'cause it has sex appeal. Wait for several years, no one will be talking about Twilight anymore.. Harry Potter won't be talked about that much but it will never be forgotten.In my case, I know Harry Potter will be a future classic.
Twilight fan go ahead and attack me, whenever you're ready.
