It bothers me when people say that Twilight is the next Harry Potter. While Twilight is a very good series, it will never be as successful as the Harry Potter books. First of all, HP appeals to a much wider audience. Twilight mostly to teenage girls. HP has seven books all great in length and the plot is just so . . . words can't describe it.

There's no doubt in my mind that Harry Potter won't be as popular twenty years from now. Pride and Prejudice is, and it's a hundred years later. Harry Potter is just a classic that when the younger fans grow up, they're going to introduce the series to their children and so on. And even Stephenie said that Twilight and Harry Potter are in different leagues.
You actually have a really good point. I guess everyone just kind of got excited about Twilight because it was really a great series and the Harry Potter fans needed something new to discuss since all the books are finished. Harry Potter really is a legend and it will continue to be so.

Oh dear lord, what would *their* child be called?
I cringe away from the thought. =D

And their child would be wizard/vampire/muggle/human. Eek, they would never fit in anywhere.

Lol. I think Jacob would take care of Albus before any of that could happen, cause Jacob could totally destroy Albus.

"Just shut up."
"Can do."

There also isn't as many things to discuss in Twilight, as in Harry Potter. Even the names have a meaning and contribute to the plot line.

Harry Potter has a lot of meaning in the books. There isn't much to decipher in Twilight. After you read it...that's it, no hidden meaning at all.
