J.K. Rowling or Suzanne Collins?

While I enjoy both authors, I do think that the Harry Potter series is an overall better series. Don't get me wrong, I love the Hunger Games. But I feel as though J.K. Rowling really inspired a lot of people with the Harry Potter universe- it's a world that I would love to be part of! It is full of characters that we not only care about, but we want to be friends with- and it's a series that I love to revisit.

J.K Rowling all the way. Her magical world and the characters she created were a big part of my childhood.

J.K. Rowling! All the way!

J. K ROWLING all the way!

It would definitely be Harry Potter - just her imagination is incredible every time I read the books they completely blow my mind. How amazing it would be to come up with that world, the fantastic characters and places not to mention all the spells and Hogwarts and everything that goes with that - teachers, the creatures, the moving art work, ghosts and moving staircases!

I mean I love The Hunger Games series but I re-read Harry Potter ALL the time! I absolutely love it and it's also the first series of books that I read at the same time as my whole family, we eagerly anticipated each others thoughts and feelings about every book - we all wanted to be the first person to finish the newest book and it was a real family connection.

I JUST LOVE POTTER <3

Harry Potter, because you can do almost anything in the world of magic.

Harry Potter,definitely. Both are very good,but I've loved the Harry Potter series for years,and still find things that I missed before even now. New little details or things to think about.

I definitely going to end up choosing JK Rolling for this. I enjoyed the Hunger Games movies more than the books so far. Everyone tells me the books are so much more graphic than the movies and I should give them a chance. Fact of the matter is I have tried on a handful of occasions to read the Hunger Games and can't seem to get past the first chapter without being bored. Maybe it gets better after the first couple chapters and I should really get through it, but I just can't seem to get into it like I did with the Harry Potter series. I read the HP series at least a couple dozen times and still could and yet can't get past that first chapter in the Hunger Games.

While I liked reading both, I must say that Harry Potter was more enjoyable reading material while the Hunger Games had more to do with politics and whatnot. Each Harry Potter book I read had me eager to start the next book while I might have only been about halfway through reading the book.

I started reading the Harry Potter series after I graduated from high school to find out what the fuss was all about. From the moment I picked up the first book I was impressed and each book (like the movies) was progressively better than the last. I did the same when it came to the Hunger Games, only it was my niece that recommended them. I read the first book and borrowed the other two from our local library. Surprising as it might be, I have read the first book, I read the second book however, I didn't have the enthusiasm I had while reading the first book, and I have yet to read the final book as I lost interest.

So, my final answer would be J.K. Rowling.

Hunger Games is great, but Harry Potter is absolutely amazing! The world building and the characters and just everything is so much better in Harry Potter than in Hunger Games.

[abbiebann]

While Harry Potter is absolutely amazing I absolutely detest J.K. Rowling as a person: she's a downright hypocrite. Yes, she broke many records but I will not be reading her new books as she said she wouldn't add to the series and the release of two new books makes her a greedy liar.
Suzanne Collins also wrote a wonderful trilogy and I found that I built a stronger attachment to the characters and that there were many more plot twists and it was a well presented dystopian future and an enlightening insight into the contrasting effects of a revolution.

[glitchberry]

J.K. Rowling definitely. Though that's not to say that Collins isn't a fantastic author, because she is, and the Hunger Games was a brilliant series, but Harry Potter takes it for me. It was my favourite series as a child and still is to this day. It just fills me with so much more emotion and love than the Hunger Games ever could.

They're both wonderful authors, but I love JK ROWLING's works. The way she tell a story is just AWESOME !!!!!

[rovet]

J.K. Rowling all the way! She is such a wonderful storyteller.
