HI to all. I'm just curious why does some people compare this two? Any opinions there? I like both- Stephenie Meyer and J.K. Rowling are both very good writers. I love their works and also the films. I just don't know exactly the reason why they compare twilight to harry potter? They are really different.

hi really glad that someone started a discussion in my lot which we discuss with our friends daily as a casual talk that why do they do like this , really even i don't understand why they do like this , both have different stories and concept but yeah a bit common in between them that both movies story is taken from novels then converted into movies but that doesn't mean that both are to be compared , really this things surprise me a lot , don't know on what basis they do so , i will be thankful to them if they give me genuine reason behind the comparison.

Both are very popular movies based on a books for children/teens with supernatural them. Don't hear this comparation often. It's always Harry Potter-Lord of the Rings.
