7 Undeniable Facts as to Why HP beats Twilight

posted by zar_far11

Harry Potter beats Twilight. Of course. But I really don't like it when HP mashabiki 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 wewe 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 moyo 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 juu 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 uigizaji is a bit stale.

3) Visual Effects
Please, people, have wewe 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 mgawanyiko, baidisha 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 zaidi timeless and appeals to a wider range of audience.

5) Awards/Nominations

Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone:
OSCAR NOMINATIONS-
--Best Art Direction
--Best Costume ubunifu
--Best muziki Original Score
Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban:
OSCAR NOMINATIONS-
--Best muziki Original Score
--Best Visual Effects
Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire:
OSCAR NOMINATIONS-
--Best Art Direction
Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince:
OSCAR NOMINATIONS-
--Best Cinematography
7 TOTAL NOMINATIONS

Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and the Breaking Dawn sinema have so far not been nominated for any Academy Awards.

6) Pacing
I feel like Twilight spits out new sinema every other day. I mean, give the audience time to build up anticipation, and just slow down a bit, like Harry Potter did.
These are Harry Potter's release dates:
November 16, 2001
November 15, 2002
June 4, 2004
November 18, 2005
July 11, 2007
July 15, 2009
November 19, 2010
July 15, 2011
These are Twilight's release dates:
November 21, 2008
November 20, 2009
June 30, 2010
November 18, 2011
November 16, 2012

See what I mean?

See? Even though Twilight is maarufu 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 zaidi 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 zaidi shabiki girls. Which also doesn't improve the film's ujumla, jumla 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 maoni below, but please no hating comments. It's mean, hurtful, and silly. Thanks for reading.

cassie-1-2-3 1. Um what? All this shows me is that you're very bad at YouTube. That song, or whatever you linked, has nothing to do with the Twilight soundtracks. It's just some techno thing with Twilight pictures. It's not even a remix of a Song from any of the scores or soundtracks. 2. You mean that imaginary list you just made up in your head? Honestly, I doubt any of those actors would make it anywhere near an actual accredited "Top 30 Actors in the World" list. 3. Some would agree with you, some would not. That is not an undeniable fact. 4. See #3 5. That's not really proof of anything other than that Harry Potter has been nominated for Academy Awards. 6. I don't see what you mean, actually. I think they made a mistake in Harry Potter by allowing their actors to age quicker than their characters. Especially since they weren't fully grown like the Twilight actors. It would have looked better if they were filmed more seamlessly, but it's no big deal and I get than they need breaks every once in a while. 7. You're going to use Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB to measure critics acclaim? Good luck with that.

bri-marie 1. Um, did you read the description of the video? The person who posted the Twilight song? Yeah... he flat out says it's "my rendition of the Twilight theme song." Rendition doesn't mean "actually in the movie." But, either way, the fact that you like the Harry Potter music better than Twilight is an opinion, not a "undeniable fact." 2. I don't know where you got that list from, but there is no "top 30 actors" list (except for fan made ones on the AMC and IMdB websites. There's a "top grossing actors" list, where [i]some[/i] of the actors you made make an appearance. But, a) the information you give is faulty, because not all those actors you listed are top 30 grossing actors and b) that doesn't mean anything except Harry Potter starts make a lot of money. That doesn't mean they're better actors. Which, by the way, is also an opinion, not an "undeniable fact." 3. Also opinion. Also, the fact that there aren't any youtube videos about Twilight's good effects means, literally, nothing. 4. Opinion. 5. Lots of good movies haven't won awards. Lots of crappy movies have won awards. This point really doesn't mean much of anything. 6. LOTR and PotC released movies right after another as well (except for the break between the 3rd LOTR movie, and The Hobbit.. But, since the Hobbit's three movies are being released right after one another...) I guess this means that those series' are bad? By your logic, anyway. Again, this point really doesn't mean much of anything. Especially when the movies are based off books, so the pacing of when they're released is irrelevant. 5.Much like number five, this really doesn't mean much of anything. Lots of good movies have gotten horrible critics (Roger Ebert pretty much bashed Thor and admitted he found it so boring that he fell asleep). Lots of good movies have gotten good reviews. Shockingly enough, a person's opinion on a movie doesn't mean very much of anything when comparing it to a person's opinion on a completely different movie.

zar_far11 Um, excuse me, didn't I already say I don't care for arguments?

bri-marie You said "no hate comments.' Pointing out flaws in your argument aren't "hate comments." If you only want to talk to people who agree with everything you say, you probably shouldn't post on a public internet forum made up of people who aren't always going to agree with you.

Rayne_Erode18 First of all, Twilight is a degrading movie/book series that nobody except pathetic girls like to read. Unlike Harry Potter, Twilight is stuck in the same damn setting, whereas in Harry Potter, they travel to different places. On another note, all the characters in Twilight are Mary Sues. Mary Sues are BAD. I repeat. Mary Sues are BAD. See Mary-Sue. A female fanfiction character who is so perfect as to be annoying. The male equivlalent is the Marty-Stu. Often abbreviated to "Sue". A Mary Sue character is usually written by a beginning author. Often, the Mary Sue is a self-insert with a few "improvements" (ex. better body, more popular, etc). The Mary Sue character is almost always beautiful, smart, etc... In short, she is the "perfect" girl. The Mary Sue usually falls in love with the author's favorite character(s) and winds up upstaging all of the other characters in the book/series/universe. There are several main types of Mary Sue: Victim!Sues: The Victim!Sue is your whiny, wimpy, pathetic female character who can't seem to do much of anything except cry and get herself into trouble that the romantic interest of the fic has to rescue her from. Warrior!Sues: The Warrior!Sue is usually loud, obnoxious and (of course) an amazing warrior. She'll usually have some tragic past that led her to become a warrior, and she'll upstage all of the Canonical characters with her mad Sueish powerz. Mage!Sue: Similar to the Warrior!Sue, the Mage!Sue has amazing stregnth in magic, or has a magical power that nobody else has. She'll usually wind up upstaging all of the magical charac... more... buy mary sue mugs & shirts by nscangal Jul 29, 2005 share this add a video 2. Mary Sue 385 up, 53 down The most common type of Mary Sue is a character based an the author's idealization of themself. Furthermore, because the author is imagining a preferred version of themself, and because faults are overlooked in favor of optimization, a Mary Sue tends to have only superficial resemblance to the author, sharing similar likes/dislikes and a similar spirituality (when applicable), but objectifying things such as worldview and relationships. This type of Mary Sue is more common simply because it's easier to write and is more appealing to the author. This Mary Sue is found in fanfics and original fiction alike. Yes, Mary Sues abound even in professional writing. So you see, Twilight is an insufferable series that shouldn't even have the right to exist. Without furtherado, i suggest that you leave this poor girl alone and get on with your lives. I'm sure she has better things to do than listen to your pathetic attempts to defend Twilight. Thank you for your time.

zar_far11 <3 you.

alexisn10 1. The Twilight scores are pretty well done and the actual soundtracks are awesome. Besides, Twilight shares composers with Harry Potter and even Lord of the Rings (Eclipse guy did all LOTR films and the Hobbit and French New Moon guy did Harry Potter 7/8) 2. Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter, Maggie Smith, Gary Oldman, and Ralph Fiennes are all fine actors nevertheless. Them being on this list makes sense. But Dan, Emma, and Rupert. I mean, they're good actors to me but considering that it's a list of only 30 of the greatest actors of all time I'm sure they would put Daniel Day Lewis, Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz, and Meryl Streep before them. 3. I agree 4. I agree 5. You forgot Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2's nominations :( I say the same thing for Lord of the Rings, an Oscar doesn't make the film any better. I used to think otherwise but it's true. The Avengers didn't win anything this year yet it's still one of the (in my opinion at least, the best was Django) best films of 2012. Same goes for The Hobbit. Hunger Games was also seen as one of the best films of 2012 and it wasn't even nominated for anything. 6. That doesn't really make the films better... 7. All a critic's opinion (I used to think otherwise). There were a handful of critics that called Harry Potter mediocre and a handful that called them genius. There were a ton of critics that even called genius films mediocre.

cassie-1-2-3 I don't feel degraded by reading anything and Mary Sues aren't bad, in my opinion, if they do indeed exist. <3 for me.

zanhar1 I think you're article is well written compared to some of the others on this spot.

zar_far11 Thx

zanhar1 No problem

Witchnivi Totally true....

GinnyRonFred I do think Harry Potter is better but you are not really helping this conflict! Sorry! But you article is well written so good job for the effort!

tsmith120 If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion: When you have a heading that says you have seven undeniable reasons as to why Harry Potter beats Twilight, maybe make sure they are actually undeniable.

fandomforever Um, I agree that harry potter is billions of times better than the crap they call twilight, but I mean these aren't undeniable facts.

What do wewe see in Harry Potter?

posted by mariella721

Okay guys, I know everyone's got their own opinion and not everyone has the RIGHT opinion, but as a Twilight fan, can one of wewe Potter mashabiki explain what wewe guys see in Harry Potter? Honestly, I haven't read all the books, but I've seen all the sinema and they just don't make any sense. And another thing, the plot is bland and there's no real depth to it, like in Twilight. Harry Potter, also has no upendo in it, which makes for a boring story. Anyways, I just wanted to know what wewe crazies see in those vitabu and stuff...

Okay...
See ya :D

Bella vs. Luna

posted by i-am-mariella

I’ve seen articles, like bri-marie’s, comparing Bella, Twilight’s “heroine” to the girls and female role models of the Harry Potter vitabu like Hermione and Ginny. I agree with them whole-heartedly and I am happy to follow in the footsteps of strong women from Harry Potter – like Ginny, who is fierce and pretty bad-ass and just ujumla, jumla a strong female, and Hermione, who is studious and smart and witty and the boys often rely on her skills and “genius.” Because let’s face it – and Ron says it himself – where would they be without Hermione?
So I wanted to make my own because...

One reason why Harry Potter is better than Twilight.

posted by acciokelsey

"This kiss between Hermione and Ron is highly anticipated, it's been building up for eight films now. And Harry Potter is not Twilight, wewe know; we're not selling sex." - Emma Watson

If wewe think Emma Watson is stupid for quoting this, wewe are outta your mind. wewe 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 maarufu '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 mashabiki go ahead and attack me, whenever you're ready.

Harry Potter vs Twilight- my opinion

posted by LoopyLuna96

Obviously, this spot is about debating Harry Potter and Twilight, and I realised I've never written an article, so I decided to put down all my reasons for Harry Potter being better than Twilight.

Firstly, the 'love' in Twilight is not love. It is over powered lust. To my memory, Edwrad and Bella never have a conversation about from who loves the other more. Edward likes Bella because she smells good, Bella likes Edward because he's 'handsome' (which can't even be proven, he's a book character, we never see him).

The upendo in Harry Potter is shown as an amazing, all powerful thing that can sace...

The Final Battle: Part 2

Harry woke up the inayofuata morning with a feeling as though there was a heavy block in his stomach. He got ready and dressed and went downstairs. Ginny was already at the table, waiting for him. She smiled nervously at him, and he alisema to her ‘Don’t worry; compared to what we’ve been through, this is practice.’
Ginny laughed, and Harry felt pleased. They got their children ready, and dropped them off at the wizard siku care, as every adult wizard would be in the battle.
Harry and Ginny apparated with Ron and Hermione to the Cullen backyard, where the battle would commence. When they got...

Oh, oh, oh
Woke up today
Feeling the way i always do
Oh, oh, oh
Hungry for Magic
That i can't eat
Then i hear that beat
That rhythm of Voldie
Starts calling me down
It's like a message from
High above
Oh, oh, oh
Pulling me out
To the smiles and the
Streets that i love

Good morning Voldemort!
Every day's like an evil encore
Every night is a fantasy
Every sound's like a death to me!

Good morning Voldemort!
And some siku when i take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Voldemort and me!

Oh, oh, oh
Look at my wand...

Why Harry Potter is better.

posted by MissKnowItAll

I have read a lot of makala etc like this, but I thought I would write m own maoni down.

One thing I have heard about Twilight being better is that SMeyer is a better writer. I ask you, how on earth is SMeyer a better writer.

Take this sentence from New Moon:

'Suddenly, it(the bike) looked intimidating, frightening, as I realised I would soon be astride it.'

How does that flow as a sentence? It has two separate realisations together in one sentence. I found it awkward to read.

SMeyer doesn’t make us connect with her characters. She doesn’t describe their feeling well at all. She is not a good...

Wanyonya damu vs Wizards Which I Would Rather Be

posted by Kersian

So I surfing the web when I ran into one of the pages from this site. It was a swali asking which would wewe rather be, a vampire au a wizard? I immediately answered wizard and I added 3 quick reasons why. That was several months zamani and now I wondered if my answer was reasonable enough. I also read other people's reason and I admit some of them sounded very childish and naive.

Now I will start kwa defining the two kwa their origins. Wanyonya damu and wizards, because that was the question. Not Twilight Wanyonya damu au HP Wizards, but since that kura ya maoni was under those topics I'm guessing I will talk...

The Final Battle

Luna looked back and shouted, “EXPELLIARMUS!”
The Death Eater’s wand flew out of his hand.
“Nice shot!” Neville said, looking at her impressed. Luna beamed brightly, as the two continued to run. They both slowed as they neared a room filled with smoke. Neville ran in first and Luna followed close behind. They heard shouts coming from every direction.
“CRUCIO!” There was a scream of agony.
“STUPEFY!”
“AVADA KEDAVRA!”
The last spell seemed closer and both ducked at the same time. They heard a thud as a body hit the floor. Luna ran over there, despite the spells flying everywhere....

Stop the Hate

posted by potterrox

People are passionate about defending their vitabu that they love. I know that and I’ve done it. What’s really disturbing is when the users of fanpop use this site to bring people down au just to openly hate.

Harry Potter and Twilight are going to be compared. No other two vitabu have the same rabid following and they both have strong roots in the supernatural. I welcome debate and exchanging of opinions, when it’s friendly. Some of the maoni I’ve seen on these foramu could not be called friendly debate. It just makes me sick when I know that there are people out there that are willing...
