There ought to be no competition here as Harry Potter is clearly the winner. No book or movie has created more hysteria than this. The world seemed to have turned upside down when the books were released exciting both kids and adults alike. And what can be said about Daniel Radcliffe? He’s a teenage phenomenon who has girls from practically every continent swooning. The same can’t be said for Robert Pattison a.k.a Edward Cullen though. He is popular no doubt but nowhere near Radcliffe in terms of fan base and that of course, should be credited to the role he played.

Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson (Hermoine Granger) are easily the highest earning kids on the block. Coming back to the books, Harry Potter is by far ahead in the lead. It is a book with deep symbolisms and life lessons. It is about unity, standing up for your friends, for what is right and it is about the ultimate victory of good over evil. On the other hand, Twilight is nothing but a mindless romance between teens with no substantial message at all. It all revolves around a brainless school girl whom all boys seem to fall in love with, two of whom happen to be dangerous, mythical creatures.

Twilight is basically about a stupid girl without any personality whereas Harry Potter has very human, complex and believable characters. In terms of the movies, Harry Potter again scores better as it has amazing, exciting action sequences and can at times be scary too. Twilight’s saving grace is perhaps the hotness quotient of the male actors and the chemistry between Pattison and Stewart.

Of the latter could be alluded to the fact that there isn’t much to portray anyway excepting blank, mysterious expressions. The current box office also gives evidence to the fact that Harry Potter being the bigger grosser with The Half-Blood Prince already on its way to replace Twilight as the fastest selling in terms of advance ticketing. The 7^th book in the HP series is to be made in 2 parts which is understandable considering they need to develop the plot better. There’s so much to be included that no way can so much be packed into just 2 hours. In conclusion, considering all factors such as depth of plot, star power of the cast and box office success it cannot be denied that Harry Potter is indeed the winner in this battle.
