Vampire romance for teenagers and magic boarding school fantasy for the under 12's is not really the best basis for comparison
Also considering the difference in age group and that romance is such a different style and genre to JK Rowling's writing.

Meyers writing is quite problematic with her depiction of characters and such, and she's just not very imaginative. The ending was terrible too. Bella had no flaws, and was just "perfect".

Think about it:
Both authors wrote about stories in their country's cultural perspective. Imagine if Twilight was written in the British context and Harry Potter was written in the American context. Today, there will be a wizarding world that will have its own names and places in America. In my opinion, the Twilight characters were diverse from country to country, but the story was primarily placed in America. Then, readers were falling in love with characters from both Meyer's books and Rowling's books. This is why it is difficult for me to choose between these two authors. It is like comparing Apples to Oranges rather than Granny Smith Apples to Fuji Apples.
I have to admit that this has me thinking now.
