This is not my opinion. It's an excerpt from an artikel titled link. I have however come across a few people who have voiced the same thing. Just curious to know people's thought on this.

I’ve read all of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books—devoured them, really, because whatever her flaws, the lady does a terrific job at building compulsive narratives and enjoyable worlds. But the lebih time I spend away from the series, the lebih its problems get to me, and the biggest problem of them all is the main character himself. Harry is, to put it kindly, an absolute no one. He suffers at the hands of the despicable Dursleys because, hey, what’s a hero’s journey without a little suffering? Then one hari he learns he’s inherited great powers and wealth, neither of which have any connection to him beyond basic genetics. The news hunts him down like a wretch-seeking missile, and before anda know it, Harry’s whisked away to a magical land where he’s repeatedly informed how wonderful he is oleh strangers, all without ever having accomplished atau earned much of anything beyond a passive ability to not die. Yes, Mr. Potter makes his fair share of enemies, and yes, he does do his best to live up to the responsibility of being the most famous boy wizard in the world. But the series never shakes the fact that Harry is destined to heroism less oleh merit than oleh fait accompli, and every good fortune that comes his way plays like wish-fulfillment to distract us from the fact that there’s no real center to the kid. He’s as generic as a Hardy Boy, and when Rowling did try and give him some edge, he became just another self-centered, whiny teenager, diberikan to fits of self-loathing that manifested as witless sarcasm and dull surliness. It’s not that Harry Potter is a horrible person, atau even the worst fictional character to ever grace a fantasi narrative; fantasi does, after all, rely an awful lot on prophecy and fate. It’s just hard to accept that a writer capable of characters like Severus Snape and Hermione Granger chose to rest the crux of her narrative on a boy whose most memorable personality trait is a facial scar.

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 anda Potter fan explain what anda guys see in Harry Potter? Honestly, I haven't read all the books, but I've seen all the film 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 cinta in it, which makes for a boring story. Anyways, I just wanted to know what anda crazies see in those buku and stuff...
Okay...
See ya :D

Before anda all come out with pitchforks and guns, I'd just like to say this is my opinion.
1, Half of the fan only like Twilight, because they think Rob/Taylor is hot.
2, I can't argue about the plot because there isn't one.
3, Bella has no personaility.
4, Edward is just plain creepy.
5, Bella always needs a man in her life. When Edward leaves she needs Jacob. This is really stupid.
6,Bella wouldn't even look at Edward if he wasn't hot.
7, Edward wouldn't look at Bella if she didn't smell good.
8, It gives a bad message. Like kill yourself when your sparkly boyfriend is around. atau there is no point in being happy unless anda have a boyfriend. atau it's ok to ditch your friends to tanggal a super hot vampire.
9,Meyer constantly repeats the same words to tell us how hot Edward is. This gets boring after two pages.
10, The actors suck.
There,ten reasons. Feel free to add on more.

"This ciuman between Hermione and Ron is highly anticipated, it's been building up for eight films now. And Harry Potter is not Twilight, anda know; we're not selling sex." - Emma Watson
If anda think Emma Watson is stupid for quoting this, anda are outta your mind. anda 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 populer '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 fan go ahead and attack me, whenever you're ready.

This artikel isn't mine, this is just an artikel I found on cracked.com (one of the best sites ever!). I agree with most of it, and on that note remember this is opion based, not fact. This is...*drumroll* if anda don't hate Twilight already, why anda SHOULD hate Twilight!

Enjoy, and no getting pissy (that's right I'm talking to anda Twilight fan girls) if you're going to post, DON'T POST unless anda write something I can understand. For example, THIS is something I can't understand:
