I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, fanfiction readers! I haven't updated this story in a long, long time. I don't know why you people bother to read this. Back to business, now.

Reason #27: Bella is overly simple.

Bella has never really been described in the series. She was designed to be a character that girls could "wear" and relate to. Later in the series she was given brown hair, which is the most common hair color. Harry Potter describes characters in depth, and gives them qualities that not everyone can relate to. Bella was given the quality of clumsy because lots of girls feel that they are. Twilight was made to be marketed; Harry Potter was written to be loved.

Reason #28: The school situations are actually written much more realistically.

Even though Twilight is supposed to be more relatable, I actually find the school situation in Harry Potter closer to what I've experienced. In Twilight, everyone fawns over the new girl, wants to be friends with her even though she's a jerk to them, and all the boys like her except Edward because apparently her blood smells too tasty. That's pretty much it. In the Harry Potter school situation, there are things like alienation (Hermione in the beginning of the first book, anyone? Or maybe Luna Lovegood?), bullying, jealousy, fighting inside and outside groups of friends, and especially the feelings and cluelessness that come with school. Also, the characters in Harry Potter weren't all perfect students. If you look at Harry and Ron, for example with their Divination dream journals, they actually resort to making things up, and often for classes they borrow quite a lot of Hermione's notes. And the school dances are pictured perfectly: amazingly built-up by everyone, but turn out to be a huge letdown.

Reason #29: UNEXPECTED PLOT TWISTS!

From the beginning of the first Twilight book, it was obvious that Bella was going to end up with Edward, even when Jacob Black came into the picture. It was also fairly obvious by around the beginning of the second book that Edward was going to make Bella into a vampire. But who would have guessed that Dumbledore would have asked Snape to kill him? That Harry would have to die to kill Voldemort? That Neville Longbottom could have been the chosen one and not Harry?

Reason #30: Mothers in Harry Potter are way way WAY better

Molly Weasley and Lily Potter more than hold their own against the mothers in Twilight. Narcissa Malfoy too. Heck, even Petunia Dursley has more life in her than Renee Somebodyorother, Bella's mother.

Reason #31: Quidditch.

Quidditch, in addition to being the most amazing sport EVER, also has this benefit: no separate teams for boys and girls. As far as wizards are concerned, if you can hold your own on the Quidditch pitch, you're in. The only sport they play in Twilight is baseball. Once.

Reason #32: Apparation Running really fast

Running fast might get you there quickly, but Apparation is quicker.

Reason #33: Better fanfiction in Harry Potter.

I've gone through Twilight fanfiction and, with a few exceptions, and most of it is terrible, for many, many reasons. Most of the Twilight fics I've read lack plot, just like the books (of course, there are the odd fics that are better than the books in terms of plot and happenings, but those are few and far between), along with lacking interesting pairings. Harry Potter fanfiction is diverse, often well-written, sometimes sad, and full of opinions and differences that you often don't find in the Twilight fandom.

Reason #34: The Harry Potter universe really is a universe.

Throughout the series, we get glimpses of other wizarding communities throughout the world. In GoF, we find out that there are other wizarding schools, such as Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, and that there are presumably wizards all over the world. Voldemort is said to be in Albania up until the fourth book. There are giants in the European mountains. J.K. Rowling put a huge amount of thought into this world, and into the people who lived there, while Twilight is completely centered around a little town called Forks where only the major characters really mean anything and the minor characters don't do anything at all.

Reason #35: Laughing? Joking? Fun? AT ALL?

Do they ever just laugh together in Twilight? Any of the characters? ANY OF THEM? Are there practical jokes or fun things to do or little pranks? No. But in Harry Potter? The twins own a joke shop! There are all sorts of magical jokes and pranks that are banned in Hogwarts, yet they get used anyways, and the pranking campaign against Umbridge in the fifth book was amazing! Not just that, but there are little laughs throughout the books in some lines. "There's no need to call me 'sir', Professor." "You have the emotional range of a teaspoon." "The whole world of ear-related humor, and you go for holey?"

Reason #36: Why are all the people in Twilight hot?

Can't we have some ugly, or at least average-looking people in Twilight? In Harry Potter, Hermione is frizzy-haired, buck-toothed, and rather plain really, but she still manages to be an amazing person and a great heroine. Ron and Harry aren't the ideals of male beauty, either, not like Edward. Ron is described as being gangly with a long nose and lots of freckles, while Harry is tall but not very tall, skinny, and has glasses and wild black hair that goes every which way and isn't able to be controlled.

Reason #37: Too much description and not enough action in Twilight

It tells rather than shows, and showing always makes a better read.

In conclusion, Neville Longbottom's cardigan is a better character than the characters in Twilight, and stalking isn't cute, it's creepy.
