Twilight VS Harry Potter

Everyone read Harry Potter at some point in their "childhood." Promises of magic and fantasy hooked all of us. It was "cool" to read the series, and that was all people talked about. The movies, at times, were scary, but we loved it anyway. To dive into the world of wizardry, was the one thing I looked forward to on a daily basis.
Then, all of a sudden there was a vampire whispering promises of love into our ear. Everyone, fooled, ran into the arms of the Twilight series, leaving Harry to fall into the hands of the Death Eaters.
Personally, I prefer Harry Potter. The series was there for me when I needed it during elementary school, I could escape from everything and live in Hogwarts. Magic would encircle my dreams, it truly was the one thing that made me happy. Well, besides music.
But Twilight wasn't there. It hadn't even been created yet- to my knowledge at least. In my eyes, Twilight mocks me. Edward looks at me and says, "I have Bella, and she has me. We're happy. Kearstin, look at you. You have no one." Not to mention I think vampires and werewolves don't exist- not in that sense.
For me, Harry Potter will always be my favorite- even when the movies end. Memories of reading all night, and going to bed at 6:00 A.M., only to wake up at 9:00 that night. There was no spark for Twilight with me. I have enough drama with love in my own life, I don't need it in my books, too.
