Twilight versus Harry Potter.

So, as so many people know, Twilight and Harry Potter fans have a very fragile relationship, but why?
Well, one of the main reasons, is surprisingly, the actors in the films. Robert Pattinson, who was Cedric Diggory in the HP franchise, albeit for only the fourth film, is Edward Cullen in Twilight. Many HP fans see Pattinson's portrayal of Edward, who is every teenage girls dream (mine included, I'm so Team Edward!) as a betrayal of the film which first brought him fame. Many HP fans are adamant that if Rob wasn't playing Edward, the fuss would have died down long before now, but because he is, people are interested.
Another reason is the actual books themselves. Many people seem to be of the opinion that you can only like one book, whether it be Harry Potter or Twilight. I'm proud to be a fan girl of both, although I do prefer Twilight, but most teenagers I know don't like it, and I enjoy being different! It's not written anywhere that you can't be a fan of both, even four of the hosts on Mugglecast, the major Harry Potter podcast, have started up a new podcast called 'imprint' ( at http://twilightsource.com ) which deals with Twilight only. If stalwarts of the Harry Potter fandom like Andrew Simms, Matt Britton, Laura Thompson and Elysa Montfort can be comfortable enough in the fact that they enjoy both books to feature on two different podcasts, each about a different book series, why can't anyone else?
Now I'm starting to rant, but the only thing I didn't like about the Twilight Saga was book 4, but that is because it was EPIC FAIL.
In short, I am a Twilighter, but I'm also a wannabe squib. Bah! It's all too confusing, I'm now over and out!
