The Harry Potter books/movies are better than Twilight (Stephanie Meyer)

Two minutes left. lol. Twilight is about the reader. Twilight may be first person not second, but when I read Twilight I read it as if I were living Bella's experience. Readers read it as if they were in Bella's shoes. So they don't feel jealous of Bella for getting Edward but instead feel the way Bella feels. The whole romance whole genre in its selfish way is about "you". Twilight does this well by being 1st person, telling the story through the view and feelings of one character, an empty girl who had no direction but got Edward. Bella might sound like she lacks unique characterization but she is meant to let readers put themselves in her place, as opposed to put themselves in the place of a award winning, powerful women with particular quirks. Personally I found Twilight, especially the first book, very addictive because it felt personal and I like romances. I know a lot of romance readers felt the same way, at least at first read before the prejudice that Twilight was very very awful. Events happen in Twilight; there are more average day events than big Harry Potter world events because it's mostly a romance not adventure story. Kristine Stewart portrayed Bella as a careful girl who didn't reveal her emotions on her face, only revealing them in the decisions she makes regarding Edward. It made the movie more believable rather than less in my opinion because she was serious and tense unlike usual girls who aren't around supernatural people that kill. Twilight's Bella is willing to do nearly everything for love, but I would like to point out that Romances often show that message. Even the little story Cinderella can be said to encourage infatuation and doing anything for a girl. The prince only knows Cinderella for one evening and then he goes to every single house in the city to find her. So, its not just Twilight teens know that real life is different from romance stories. Again, Twilight shows that unconditional, near unbreakable love is possible, which some people say is good, and lets readers live Bella's life in the story which many love to do. I'm sorry for having Wikipedia explain for me. You gave good enough examples, I consent J.K. Rowling's characters are good, but Twilight's characters are good enough for the purpose of the romance. A broad and unoriginal is not copied because it is broad and unoriginal. Twilight was copied because it made a huge impact and is quite original. No other story before Twilight had a girl that's lost, who meets a vampire, falls in love, gets pregnant with a half vampire baby. After research I consent that Twilight wasn't the first to use vampires as boyfriends, but when Twilight was written the concept was quite underused, Twilight's exact plot was unique, and Twilight made vampires, as boyfriends, much more popular. Harry Potter was not the first of its kind either. The Worst Witch by Jill Murphy is strikingly similar to it and was written first. It's about a normal girl who enrolls in a school for witches, learns magic, and tries to overthrow the school. J.K Rowling may have copied this plot. Source: http://io9.com... And unlike Twilight, Harry Potter was not able to make wizards a popular writing subject. So I did research. Yay Me! On IMDb awards says the awards won in year 2002 for Harry and 2009 for Twilight were Harry 10 to Twilight 9, which too close to say which is better. You can check here. http://www.imdb.com... and http://www.imdb.com... I believe I'm correct. Counting awards in those years is incorrect because Harry Potter the book was released in June of that year which gives it 6 months while Twilight was released in October of that year which gave it 2 months. So my opponent has obviously won. Good job you're a great debater. I would just like to say to everyone that although Twilight may have faults, but it's not that bad. Don't hate on it, especially not just because everybody else is hating on it. Thank you for debating with me. I learned a lot.
