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.

Amy Winehouse is drinking so much alcohol her pals worry she will need “a miracle” to get through her show on Friday (08.05.09).

Friends of the ‘Rehab’ star say she is drinking so excessively she will be lucky if she can avoid “public humiliation” when she steps on stage with KC and the Sunshine Band at the St Lucia Jazz Festival.

Doctors on the Caribean island have reportedly ordered the 25-year-old star to clean up her act last weekend after she was hospitalised with dehydration, but Amy has ignored the pleas.

A source told Britain’s Daily Star Newspaper, “Amy spends all her time boozing the days and nights away. Following her hospital visit she has done no rehearsing for her comeback show despite knowing how important it is for fans and friends in St. Lucia.

“Amy has gone back to her wild ways. She is moody, erratic, drunk and volatile. Everyone around her is starting to think it would be a miracle if she makes it through her set this Friday.”

The festival will be Amy’s first performance of 2009, and more than 6,000 fans are expected to fly to the idyllic island to see her perform.

A spokesman for Amy has denied the alcohol abuse rumours, insisting the ‘Valerie’ star is fine and looking forward to the show on Friday.

He said, “Amy is fine and raring to go. Her band are on their way over to St.Lucia as we speak and as soon as they arrive she will start rehearsing again and renew her commitments.”

However, Amy’s father Mitch is worried about his daughter is worried the star’s friends are taking advantage of her, charging expensive meals and alcohol to her expense account.

Another source said, “Mitch knows Amy has to get this comeback concert right. He doesn’t want Amy to be lonely, but he doesn’t see why she should pay for friends to have a good time.”
