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

I also wish them a warmwelcome to their first debate and present my best compliments to their proper conduct. I wish to refute my opponent's argument that Twilight makes you feel more into the book because "you" are Bella. Twilight is written in first-person perspective, meaning it is written with "I" and "me". It is not second-person perspective, meaning it is not about "you". It's about Bella. Meanwhile, Harry Potter is written in third-person perspective, meaning it is composed using "he". So basically, when you read Twilight, it is like Bella is telling you the story of what happened after she experienced it. But in Harry Potter, it is like you have been sucked into the story to watch it all. I also beg to differ with my opponent's idea that Harry Potter has less emotion. The thing is, unlike Stephanie Meyer (who does not let one good, prominent character die), J. K. Rowling is not afraid to kill the good main characters in her books. And when these characters die, many characters and fans are devastated. The most obvious example is Dumbledore. When Snape killed him, every teacher and student at Hogwarts grieved and was shocked. There are many fans who felt the same way, even though the book is in third-perspective rather than second. One of the pages dedicated to fans crying over his death (under Sources) has over a thousand likes, meaning many others felt the same way. Note that this is only one page out of hundreds. Another death with a strong effect is that of Sirius Black, Harry's godfather. Harry is so angry and devasted from his murder from the Death Eaters, he shouted at Dumbledore, destroyed his possessions, and felt horribly guilty about unintentionally leading Sirius into his murder trap. He then hardened as a person, set to vengefully destroy the Death Eaters. This proves there is much more character development than in Twilight, where every character stays pretty much the same for the whole Saga. I also cannot grasp why Twilight makes the reader feel any more heroic when one, it is written in first-person perspective and two, Bella is not even a hero. She just stands around, letting Edward take care of her, like when a gang met her in the first book, and when James tried to attack her in the first, too. I will most definitely agree with my opponent that "As a novel, Harry Potter can do better at letting readers feel the ups, downs, and struggles of the main character more. " So now Edward is 100 years old, smart, and hot, according to my opponent. This still does not give one personality trait. Is he kind? Sweet? Fierce? Humorous? No, he is just some hot boyfriend (and later husband) of Bella who happens to be a vampire. I highly doubt that Bella is very, very emotional, too. Throughout the movies, she only has one expression: "Blank". Look at the wall on your left, you will see much more emotion than her. If she really is that emotional, then Kristen Stewart sure isn't doing a good job of showing that. Besides, if "weak" and "emotional" and "will do anything for love" are her only traits, she sure a very good protagonist. Protagonists are supposed to have weaknesses, but have more strengths. However, those traits (which are only three, anyway, compared to five for Harry) are all weaknesses. Doing anything for love is not always good. Bella sets a very bad example in demonstrating that you should date a hot boy, even if it will make you nearly lose your life more than several times. So now Jacob is a fierce, hot guy. Two traits, one of them having nothing to do with personality. One personality trait stacked against five for Harry and six for Ron and Hermione really isn't saying much. The reason why Twilight has caused a huge breakthrough with people writing more vampire romance stories is because it is very easy to rip off. Paranormal romance has existed for a long time now, and a story about a girl falling in love with a vampire is much more generic than a story about a boy who goes to a school for wizards and fights the worst one of all time. Nobody has dared to steal J. K. Rowling's idea because it is too obvious when someone tries to rip it off, due to its uniqueness. Additionally, the movie "Harry Potter and the Philospher's Stone" has won over 60 awards. The movie "Twilight" has only won 33, in contrast. Additionally, the Harry Potter book series has won 34 awards total, while the Twilight book series has only won 14 arguments. I believe this says much about which series is better: The Harry Potter Series. As I question my opponent's authority for their lack of sources, I again would like to thank my opponent for joining this debate.
