Aquilia Neutral but leaning towards Harry. I'd say the matter comes down to the element of surprise. And I must sadly refute the claim that spells travel by c (the speed of light), otherwise the canon characters would be hard-pressed in dodging them as we have observed in the books. Now, there are plentful of invisibility charms around the Wizarding World so unless Edward developed the ability to see the completely invisible (assuming that the disillusionment charm is effective for all wave-lengths of light) Harry, he would be at a very bad disadvantage. Speed is of no use when you cannot find your target. Harry is capable of Apparition as demostrated in HP6 and HP7, so we have an invisible shifting target around Edward. How is he supposed to utilise his advantages I ask?

souflizzle317 ^ I agree that spells don't travel at the speed of light, but neither does Edward. If you read my post about why Edward can't reach Harry in just .01 seconds like Meyer claims, then you'll know that in the time Edward would *really* take to get to Harry, Harry could easily cast a simple spell that makes a circle of fire around him (like Dumbledore did in HBP) to protect him from Edward for enough time to do more damage.

harrypotterbest pfft. Myer, if I ever meet you, I'm only going to say one word: CRUCIO! Edward could snap Harry's neck! Again, all Harry needs is Crucio and Protego! Yeah, GO HARRY!

Renarimae And also as I said before, even though he can read Harry's mind and stuff, Edward hesitates. It takes 1 to 2 minutes to attack, he talks to his opponents at first and doesn't attack them right away. And also because, to duck Avada Kedavra, Edward would have to be as fast as Sonic the Hedgehog, who I believe, is definitely faster since he can run faster than the speed of sound. In speaking of that, wouldn't it be weird if Harry and Sonic teamed up against Edward? I think so. But yeah, I think Harry would win.

Renarimae And also too, Edward can't fly, so he wouldn't be able to kill Harry if he was high in the sky.

souflizzle317 ^ Very true, just give Harry a broom and he's up out of the fairy's reach :) Then it's as easy as pie to set Cullen on fire

shivers-zimmy Everyone Who Has Something To Say About My Post- Okay, So I Couldn't Find This Question Again, That's Why I Haven't Backed Up My Responce! I Just Wanted To Say That The Only Spell That Could Kill Edward Would Be A Fire Spell! Edward Would Know Because He Could Read His Mind And Know What It Does! Now About The Broomstick Situation, Yeah That Would Make Things Difficult! But Note This: I'm Not Saying Edward Could Kill Harry, Because Honestly, I Don't Think He Could! But I Don't Think Harry Could Kill Edward Either! That Battle Would Be Going For A While! I Hope You Noted That I Never Once Said In My Post That Edward Could Kill Him! potterrox- And It's Not Just The Avada Kadarva Spell That Wouldn't Work! I Don't Think Any Spell Would Work On Edward If They Were Directly Aimed At Him! Fire Is Another Story Because You Could Start That On The Ground And Throw Him In-If You Could Catch Him, Which He Couldn't! For Anyone Who Wants My Other Opinion- I Forgot To Say This, But I Think I Will Now: Stephenie Meyer May Have Tons Of Award And Money! Her Books May Be Considered Some Of The Best! And She May Have More Publicity Then She Anyone SHould Ever Have, But She Was Wrong! None Of This Gives Her The Right To Say Something Like That! I Think That Her Head Needs To Shrink A Few Sizes! See, This Is A Perfect Example Of What Fame Does To You! Now I Hope J.K Rolling Rizes Above The Immaturity And Doesn't Comment Back! We Can Only Hope For That!

IzzyOzera if avada kedavra doesn't work on Edward the Harry point his wand and do the spells they put on the tent in DH try getting through that Eddy :) then he can point his wand at Edward and say IMPERIO and make him stake himself :) is it even possible to kill the-boy-who-LIVED once he has the Elder wand? i think Smeyer needs to get over her anti-human books, and realise theres better books out there (well there can't be any worse can there) and learn to WRITE properly WOAH THAT FELT GOOD TO GET OUT

Renarimae On the mind reading part though, Harry can use occulemency to block his mind. And also, I've heard tons and tons and tons of times before that SMeyer has a very big ego, so that could be the reason why she said that.

Jen-wanwan Edward would never beat harry EVER

kaatie Um Harry is the boy who LIVED not DIED, and if Harry can beat an evil wizard who was WAYYYYY more powerful than little Eddie ever was I dont think hes going to have a problem.

MarlenaLovett I would like to Crucio her. Powerful wizards have no need to use a wand, especially if they are practiced in that spell. Harry could just put Edward in a binding spell then kill him. If the killing curse wouldn't work on Edward (Why wouldn't it though? It works on every other magical creature.) there are spell that make fire. Binding spell then shoot him with one of the fire spells.

lilcherrywine I hope you die, Meyer. And btw, Apparition is faster than Running.

cassie-1-2-3 Makes sense.

zanhar1 Avada kedevra can't be dodged

Poseidon3 As if

souflizzle317 ^^^ cassie, what makes sense? our arguments that harry would win or smeyer contradicting herself by saying that edward would win?

cassie-1-2-3 What Stephenie Meyer said makes sense.

souflizzle317 want me to do the math again? because I will.

cassie-1-2-3 I didn't see your math, but I don't really care. I haven't read any of the comments here. They look like a lot of "I hate her!"s and "NO way!!" I doubt you can somehow mathematically prove that Harry is quicker than a Twilight vampire. You also can't mathematically prove that vampire skin won't act as a physical barrier, or that it would have any effect on a non-living vampire at all.

ClaireVoyant *facepalm* meyer... Are you 30 or 13? She sound like my brother when he "oh my battle monster is more awesome because he can do this and this and this.." does this mean twilight is better than LOTR just because Ed can kill frodo in a second? I think not... How... Childish but if i must, Harry has a quirk of staying alive when an immortal trying to kill him. Edward advantage : speed(ducking spell)super power? only if he can get to harry first harry advantage : wand-less magic and nonverbal spell. edward won't be able to detect that. as for spell, there are many harry could use and it's canon. spell for vampire to burn (incendio, fiendfyre) to blow him up (confringo) slashing curse that suck your blood out (sectumsempra) petrified him (petrificus tottalus) float him and throw him inside volcano (wingardium leviousa) and i can mention a lot other

ClaireVoyant ah and @itsnaddia they shot 'spell' not 'wand' at each other. got it? or is that real quote from Smeyer? i really wish that's not the case... I don't want to talk bad about real person. but Smeyer indeed come off as arrogant 'small name big talk' kind of person

JasmineValdez I love how everyone here said Harry would win. :) I mean, Edward's toast.

DramaQueen1020 She really thinks a petty vampire can defeat the Boy Who Lived? He defeated Voldie for crying out loud! She should put some logic in her head and not be so in love with her made up sex fantasy. Neville has more talent than several vampires. At least Neville doesn't sparkle.

annapeace You guys this another link why twilight fans need to get more good reason then j.k. Rowling is coping everything http://www.eatliver.com/twilight-vs-harry-potter/ (crappy reasons are these people kids or what)
