Harry Potter vs. Twilight

60 Reasons Twilight is No Good

1. From the beginning, the plot was unclear.

2. Plot holes!

3. What's the point in having a mystery surrounding Edward when the back cover tells me the answer?

4. What's with Bella's truck?

5. Edward being interested in her because he can't read her thoughts makes me wonder about his sanity.

6. Although with the stuff she's thinking, I don't know if he'd want to read her mind.

7. WHY IS SHE NOT DISTURBED WHEN SHE FINDS HIM STALKING HER?!?!?!

8. Everything about their relationship makes me shudder.

9. Meyer plagiarized Rowling with Jacob Black.

10. They aren't vampires. Read my chapter about vampires.

11. They aren't werewolves. They are shapeshifters.

12. Since when did vampires have special abilities other than bloodsucking?

13. Vampire/human sex. Eurgh.

14. Renesmee is a somewhat stupid name. Now, I'm not saying it's bad because it's weird. Harry Potter has interesting names: Bellatrix, Narcissa, Nymphadora, Remus, Sirius, Luna, Ginevra, Xenophilius... What I am saying is that Renesmee sounds like a ship name.

15. Why did she leave her mum in the first place?

16. If Bella has such undying affection (haha pun) for Edward, why does she have feelings for Jacob as well?

17. She is in an abusive relationship. More on that later.

18. All the nastiness with Renesmee's birth is just ew.

19. What is the backstory for the Volturi?

20. There is literally no action.

21. Bella jumps off of a cliff because her boyfriend left to keep her safe.

22. Poorly developed characters.

23. Name meanings? They have nothing to do with the character's personality.

24. Twilight, although it is a love story, has very little real love.

25. Bella is a Mary Sue.

26. Edward, although a 'vampire,' is cliché as a male lover.

27. Stephenie Meyer uses big words to try and sound smart. Little does she know that half of them were used incorrectly.

28. What is so special about the word 'chagrin?'

29. Jacob doesn't really serve a purpose other than as part of a love triangle.

30. He also falls in love with Bella's baby! Just no. Oh, wait, I can't call it love, it's imprinting.

These next few are about the movies:

31. Why couldn't they just use a real baby for the movies? The cgi baby was creepy.

32. Drawn-on abs?

33. The cast hates the movies.

34. The sparkling only happened when there was a focus on the vampire thing.

35. And when Bella turned into a vampire and had to wear coloured contact lenses, she didn't wear them when taking Renesmee to her dad?

36. Bella is suddenly some amazing powerful vampire. (She went for an animal instead of a human.)

37. She is way too clumsy! Do you know how cliché that is? To make a female character clumsy in a love story happens way too often. It's supposed to make them endearing. All it does is make them look stupid. I do not know a single person who is as clumsy as Bella, and my best friend is extremely clumsy.

38. There isn't really any recognisable theme music for the movies. In Harry Potter, you can instantly recognise Hedwig's Theme.

39. The characters have to be hot to be well-liked.

40. Bella is idiotic.

41. Why is science her only class? You never learn about her other classes. At all.

42. Bella neglects her friends.

43. Why do they have to attend high school for all eternity?

44. Being a vampire makes you immortal. "Being immortal isn't living forever. It's everyone else dying." -the Doctor. "Death is the next great adventure." -Dumbledore.

45. Hearing about a vampire's sweet scent makes me want to throw up.

46. It's aimed towards angsty teenage girls.

47. 50 Shades of Grey originated as Twilight fanfiction, take that as you will.

48. The cheesy fairytale ending, despite the fact that Bella did nothing to deserve it.

49. We get all excited for an ending battle, but there isn't one.

50. I don't need to be reminded a million times how hot Edward is.

51. Edward is attracted to her because she smells nice.

52. Bella is attracted to him because he's hot.

53. Bella never gets any say in anything.

54. She has no hobbies or interests outside of Edward.

55. It's compared to Romeo and Juliet, but there isn't really forbidden love, and neither of them die.

56. When it started comparing itself to Pride and Prejudice, I actually got mad. Pride and Prejudice is one of my favourite books, and is such a better love story than Twilight. In no way are Edward and Bella like Elizabeth and Darcy. Edward and Bella's relationship originated out of lust, and Elizabeth's and Darcy's did not.

57. This series is Meyer's sex fantasy.

58. Everybody has to be hot.

59. The villains are so unrealistic. I've seen things saying that HP villains are unrealistic because they torture and kill people for fun, but that's what people do in the real world.

60. Nobody died, despite the villains. Apparently it was because Meyer couldn't beR to let any of them die. A good author will go where their story leads, even if it means sacrificing a character. (And I'm not just talking about Harry Potter, I'm also thinking of characters from The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit).
