Why are ppl comparing these two books?

Question

why are ppl comparing harry potter and twilght these books of nothing in common.

Answer 1

Here are some things they have in comon:

1. Both extremely over-hyped.

2. Both poorly written (full of plot holes).

3. Both made their authors grossly rich.

4. Both written by female authors.

Answer 2

I think it's because they are both so popular, and because Twilight kicked Harry Potter off the NY Times Best Selling list.

But I don't compare the two. They are both completely different books, both are excellent, and I just don't think they can compare to each other.

Answer 3

I think the main reason why people are comparing the two books because The 6th Harry Potter movie just moved to a different opening date and Twilight was moved to an earlier one. Both these book are popular and both movies are much anticipated movies and to have Harry Potter moved to different date made people think.  

Answer 4

For many reasons mostly because they are very popular and they are fictional.

Answer 5

They really do have nothing in common. It is so annoying how everyone is comparing them.

Answer 6

They are completely different. But people are still comparing. So many people loved Harry Potter, they still do, me included. It's a timeless story for any age. And Twilight, it's also immensely popular, but they're two completely unrelated books with different genres. So, there's really no comparison. Asking people to compare these two series is basically like asking people if they prefer fantasy or romance, because they are not similar at all.  

Answer 7

You're right that they have nothing substantial in common, but people often compare the things that they've enjoyed the most, and many young people today have only really read Twilight and Harry Potter.

It's also possible that they're comparing the popularity. While Twilight's hype is nothing compared to Harry Potter's, it's still the only post-HP series that has been this widely popular.

Answer 8

They both got teens interested in reading and talking about books.

Answer 9

The author of Twilight, Stephenie Meyer, was said to be the next J.K Rowling.

Answer 10

It's because of their popularity

Answer 12

They are two very popular book series. (I don't know why.)

Answer 13

the popularity of both series would be why everyone is comparing and contrasting them  

Answer 14

i agree with you they have nothing in common except for their popularity. They were both good books but Twilight is about vampires and harry potter is about all kinds of magical things. I dont like it when people compare Stephenie Meyer or J.K. Rowling either its annoying. The two are nothing alike except for the fact that they both wrote books that large groups of people like.

Answer 15

well both authors wrote

a series and they are

getting tons of money for them.

They are both fiction and most

people seem to just love them.

Also, they have become so popular

that they have movies being

made of them. Oh and the

actor who played Cedric Diggory

in the Harry Potter film(s) is going to

play Edward in the Twilight movie.
