I agree, when I began the Twilight series my first thought was that Meyer's writing style wasn't very captivating and was not nearly as fluid as Rowling's. In my opinion, Rowling won in character development, plot, and writing style. While the HP books kept me turning pages, Twilight I wasn't sad to put down.Raveenasamuel wrote:I'm coming in slightly late to this discussion, but as soon as I see Harry Potter, that's where I need to be! Needless to say that I am a crazy HP fan. I've read both the series and in my opinion there is no comparison between the two. Harry Potter is a fantastically written series and J.K Rowling is an absolute genius. Everything she writes has a meaning, there are no fillers and every single moment of the book is connected. She doesn't write to fill pages, she makes them come to life through every character and each of their back stories. Twilight, though it is a cute love story and of course Edward is a total dreamboat, just doesn't have the literary depth as HP. Yes, the stories are different, and the authors tell their stories differently, but in my opinion, J.K Rowling wrote a perfect story and perfect characters, regardless of the flaws they might have each possessed.
HP for the win I'm afraid!

Harry Potter for the win people! There shouldn't even BE any comparison.
You would be hard-pressed to find something Meyer did BETTER than Rowling. I don't deny Rowling had her flaws, but essentially everything she did was for a justifiable reason, and behind it all were intricately woven details and meanings that you just couldn't find in Meyers work.

Harry Potter for me all the way. I grew up with the books, remember reading one in one night because Harry Potter was better then sleep. Twilight just does not do it for me.
