Harry Potter beats Twilight. Of course. But I really don't like it when HP fan use opinion-ated "facts" when saying WHY Harry Potter is the better movie series. So, I, who am a major Potterhead, put together 7 true, solid, hard, and undeniable facts about certain aspects of the two movie series to prove why Harry Potter is the ultimate series.
**I will only be discussing the movies**
1) Soundtrack
Listen to this wonderful and memorable theme song. As te may have guessed, the theme song belogs to Harry Potter : link
Now listen to this: link
It's pretty, but it doesn't find a special place in your cuore like HP's does. (BTW, this isn't one of my 7 facts, but finding just this lilnk took me about 30 min. Doesn't that prove that the majority of audiences prefer HP better, since I found the HP theme song in about... let's see... 2 seconds?)
2) Casting
Alan Rickman as Severus Snape
Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange.
Maggie Smith as Minerva McGonagall.
Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter
Emma Watson as Hermione Granger
Rupert Grint as Ronald Weasley
Gary Oldman as Sirius Black
The actors mentioned above are all in Harry Potter, and are all one of the superiore, in alto 30 actors in THE WORLD. Kristen Stewart, Rob Pattinson, and Jacob Black, who are three most important actors in the Twilight movie series. are wayyyy off the list. The actors in Twilight... well, let's just say that the recitazione is a bit stale.
3) Visual Effects
Please, people, have te SEEN the visual effects in HP?
HP's visual effects: link
Harry Potter's visual effects are wonderful; filled with action, realistic details, and fantastic elements that Twilight could never achieve.
Twilight's visual effects: They are SO bad, I couldn't even find a link on YouTube. Sure, there were thousands of video titled "Worst Visual Effects in Twilight" but not a single one complimenting Twilight's visual effects.
4) Storyline
Harry Potter's plot is about a wizard who goes through may dramatic and unforgettable (not necessarily in a good way) adventures, which all lead up to the point where he finds out that he must be the one to kill the Darkest wizard of all time.
Twilight's plot is about a girl who has diviso, spalato feeling about who she loves. She tries not to get killed. Then she has a kid with one of those guys. Then they try not to get killed again. The end.
But I have to say, both are very original, but Harry Potter's storyline is much più timeless and appeals to a wider range of audience.

See? Even though Twilight is popolare amongst its fans, the pros are not so impressed. I mean HP 7 P2 even got a rare 96% and a rare 8.1 rating!! That's amazing.
In Conclusion. Many Twilighters argue that Twilight has had a bigger box office sucess, but that's not true. The least ticket-selling HP movie (#3) earned più money than the best selling Twilight movie (#4part2). Besides, numbers aren't everything. They don't make the film better. It just proves that Twilight has più fan girls. Which also doesn't improve the film's complessivamente, generale quality. Some argue that RobPattz is hotter than Daniel Radcliffe. Well, first of all, that has nothing to do with the MOVIE, and second, him being attractive doesn't help the film either. Please feel free to leave your opinions in the commenti below, but please no hating comments. It's mean, hurtful, and silly. Thanks for reading.

1) Attempt to use Snape's oily hair to cook chips
2) Send Snape shampoo
3) Take pictures of himself while showering and then sell them to the female population of Hogwarts.
4) Give Remus a makeover while he is asleep.
5) Ask the potions professor whether the day's assignment can be used a sexual lubricant.
6) Sign his essays 'Seriously Sexy Sirius'.
7) Convince Remus that all the libri in the biblioteca have been stolen and that it is closing down.
8) Tell First years that Filch is the Voice of God.
9)Tell people that it's Remus' Time of the mese when he tells First Years off for breathing too loudly.
10)Calling Lucius Malfoy "Luscious Mouthful" is just plain gross
11)I will not change the password to the prefects' bath to "Makes getting clean almost as much fun as getting dirty".

Some Harry Potter fan might disagree with me, but... THE NEWEST MOVIE SUCKED!!!! Sorry to say this but it did. It was a lot shorter than all the others, there was almost no plot, and almost nothing happened the whole movie. All they accomplished in the movie was to find the initials of some guy. I hope the successivo one does a lot better than that one. Although I suppose Dumbledore dying was an interesting thing that happened. The only good thing that came out of that movie was that it progressed the story. Other fan should agree with me, and if they don't it would surprise me. I am a long time Harry Potter fan. I have all the Film and I have seen all of them in the theaters, and I have all the books. I'm not saying I am no longer a Harry Potter fan o I don't look inoltrare, avanti to the successivo movie, but if te haven't seen the movie stick to the book.
I just love the name Ron :)
