Harry Potter is a superior book series to Twilight.

You call this Bella bashing, and to some extent I will agree. But Bella is the main character of the Twilight series. Everything is seen through her eyes and everything we know is from her perspective. I am merely just pointing out that the main character is not very detailed and has serious psychological problems that are played off as nothing. By "bashing" Bella, I am critiquing Meyer's ability to develop characters and therefore write all together. You also claimed that Edward is not perfect. He did in fact fling himself off of Bella's bed during a make out session they had. This was before he had ever tasted her blood though and it is never clear if he had actually pulled himself away because of sexual arousal or blood lust. It is left for the audience to assume. If you want to argue that it was blood lust, this just points out that he never seems to make a mistake. He is infallible. He did also leave, sending Bella into a neurotic depression. But once again, Edwards actions were in Bella's best interest. He in fact told her that he was leaving because he was a danger to her, especially by drawing other vampires near. Another way to prevent a slip up from her getting injured. And yet, when Renesmee is ripping through Bella's skin making a bloody mess all over the place, he is somehow able to maintain his composure. I understand why Edward is chaste, but once again I think Meyer's is being very unrealistic. Edward Cullen is still a man, vampire or not and the fact that he is a vampire heightens his senses. Though the outlook on sex before marriage was different 107 years ago, doesn't mean that men weren't having sex before marriage because they most certainly were. And the fact that this book takes place in the 2000's should be an even bigger indicator that sex before marriage is no longer frowned upon by society. If he had adapted to the times with fashion and such, why didn't his morals change as well? This is true that they never committed adult acts but still. It doesn't take away the creepy factor. A man pretending to be a teenager is actually 107 years old. And on top of all that, he ends up falling in love with a 17 year old girl. Mind you, he is old enough to be her great great grandfather. Now tell me you'd be willing to get with somebody that old? So his body was frozen and all the liquid was replaced with venom, okay. I'm just saying I wouldn't want to involve myself in that. And this brings me to another point, if all the bodily liquid is replaced with venom, then how exactly was he able to create sperm and bring Renesmee into the world? Like I said, Renesmee is the biggest Mary Sue to ever exsist. By the end of the book, you are correct, she is only a child. But she proves that age doesn't mean much because by the end of the book, she communicated with her parents before being able to walk. She is born from highly unlikely circumstances. Even though he mother should have died, she didn't technically. She also cures Jacob's broken heart by causing him to imprint on her and forget any of the feelings he ever felt towards Bella. From this imprint, she is able to join the werewolves and vampires into a peace treaty and they agree to fight side by side for her protection. But when the Volturi come, she uses her gift and prevents a full on fight from breaking out. This child, yet again, saves the day. May I also add, that not one character dislikes the child either. You claim that Harry Potter's plot line is just of revenge. But, you have completely over simplified it and in correctly did it as well. Harry Potter is a series of 7 books, with a boy coming to age in a world he never knew existed. Upon finding out Voldemort killed his parents, yes, he wants to avenge them. But never does Harry go looking for Voldemort. Instead, in every book, it is Voldemort trying to avenge his own death. Voldemort knows the prophecy says that Harry will be the only one able to kill him so he tries to kill him before he reaches his full potential. Unfortunately he fails several times and ultimately reaches his own end. You described a typical love story very well. Girl and boy fall in love, something comes between them and they can't be together but ultimately find a way to bend their fate and end up together anyway. Twilight is a typical love story. It has no interesting twists or turns. It follows the typical love story plot and does not stray away from it even a little. You can't relate Harry Potter to a mold because it's completely original and like nothing ever created before. Overall, I believe I have given a fair argument as to why Twilight is inferior to Harry Potter. Twilight's themes are childish and not very well developed. Each book in the Harry Potter series can stand independently as an interesting piece of literature whereas Twilight heavily depends on reading the books prior. Harry Potter's characters and very dimensional and interesting. Rowling created an entire new world set within ours whereas Meyers just created an already known (to literature) species. Rowling's works appeal to all audiences, young and old. Harry Potter is a coming of age story that deals with friendship and education. Twilight just deals with what the characters consider love and a rushed marriage. And overall, the Harry Potter series has generated a large fan base with includes touring of the sets used to film the adaptations and an amusement park.
