True
This is kind of mean to Harry Potter fans, but it is also true. Not to offend anyone out there, but which series came first, Twilight of Harry Potter?

Um... Harry Potter? The first was published in 1997 and Twilight was published in 2005. And The Prisoner of Azkaban, in which Sirius Black was introduced, was published in 1999. So... yeah. J.K. Rowling didn't copy.

Nothing is wrong with Twilight. Something was just wrong with that post. I haven't read Twilight, but I have read Harry Potter and it rocks.

Hai. I agree.
There's nothing wrong with liking Twilight.

It is ;~; Such rain.....so bland.....
I think it doesn't really come down to hating the book, I think it comes down to hating some of the book's fans.

I'm not going to say I dislike the Twilight books because I've never read them. However I don't think it's entirely fair to hate on them. Yes, maybe they have an annoying, maybe even bad plot. But it's directed at a certain demographic of readers, and if you are not part of that demographic then don't read them. When somebody starts hating on the Harry Potter series, everybody goes insane and overprotective. However, when somebody criticizes Twilight, most people will agree and laugh along with it. I disagree wholeheartedly with the above post, the one that mentions J.K Rowling as a 'thief, racist' etc., but if one of these posts was made the other way around, saying untrue things about the Twilight books and author, not a lot of people would care. They would share the picture. They would laugh at it.
All in all I just don't agree with people hating on other people's writing. What about here, on Kidpub? If someone started posting nasty images criticizing you and your writing, or someone else's, the entire site would go into uproar because of it, including myself. So why is it okay to hate on popular authors?
