If you remember back to the early 2000s, there was always the debate of whether Twilight or Harry Potter was better. Surprise, it was always Harry Potter.
When Twilight came out, for some reason we all thought “Let’s compare it to Harry Potter“. Why? Well, your guess is as good as mine. One is about vampires and a weird love story and the other is about Voldemort and Harry and their connection.
Honestly, there isn’t much to compare between the two series except for Robert Pattinson. Other than that, one is actually readable and the other is, well, Twilight. Now to be fair, at the time I loved the series as well.
But when you stop and look back, why did we think that this was even a battle? Vampires who wouldn’t even kiss were a threat to the entire Harry Potter universe? Not in a million years. But times were apparently tough for us all.
I just think it is so funny to go back and look at the entire situation. We were all so adamant that one had to be better rather than just letting them both exist in the world and their fans have them both. Instead, we wanted to tear the other down.
It was bad as a fan but even worse when looking at it from an outsiders point of view. Now, you’d think we’d have learned from that right? No, we still do it. We pit things against each other rather than just letting everyone like what they like.

So will the debate always rage on? Probably not because Harry Potter is still a thing that people enjoy and Twilight is, well like I said before, it’s Twilight. But at least we know who won this battle.
