David vs. Goliath. Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant. Backstreet Boys vs. NSYNC. Harry Potter vs. Twilight. Two extreme binary choices pumped full of hype and cultural relevance. Who is the true winner? Who is the true winner in your heart of hearts? The literary world was taken by storm by two stunningly popular book series that captivated readers of all ages.

In one universe, magic is real, spells can be cast, and, if wizardry is in your bloodline, you receive a letter by a mysterious owl, inviting you to the specialized school constructed to hone those sacred magical skills. In the opposing, vampires and werewolves are real, hidden amongst high school students and a legendary grudge that dates back to 1800s Italy.

Harry Potter is a fantasy book series written by J.K Rowling. The first book in the series, The Philosopher Stone, was released in 1997. It followed title character as he began his first-year at Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft. As the year progress, he becomes friends with Ron Weasley and Hermoine Granger, and learns about the evil sorcerer Voldemort.

Twilight is a fantasy book series written by Stephenie Meyer. The first book, Twilight, was released in 2005. The story follows Bella Swan, an innocent high school student, as she moves back to the small town of Forks, Washington. Excitement engulfs her boring life, when she falls head over heels for the most nihilistic of the Cullen clan, Edward. Who also happens to be a vampire.

Once a series of movies were released based on both franchises, literary fans were quickly divided. Are you a vampire fan, or a fan of witchcraft and wizardry? If you’re still on the fence about it, perhaps these memes will help you make your decision.

25 Oh, The Power of Women…

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

Young adult novels have produced successful attempts to emulate the importance of female characters on an equal levels as their male counterparts. Jane Eyre, a 19th century novel and a staple in the English major curriculum, brought a female hero to the forefront. The novel presented a female character that spoke her mind and had her own opinions.



Then bookworms were introduced to Hermione Granger. One-third of the heroic trio, her resilience, courage and smarts made her a strong female character in the eyes of readers. She never took any guff from her friends, enemies, teachers and fellow students, all while expressing her emotions as a simultaneous act of strength.

Bella Swan, on the other hand, has been vastly criticized for the opposite. When her beau Edward decides that he has to leave her in order to keep her safe in New Moon, Bella crumbles into a heavy depression. As indicated by the meme, there is a belief that her sadness negates her as a female hero. There could be a counter-argument that Bella’s feelings reflect that of many young girls who go through heartbreak at an early age in a realistic and honest fashion.

24 Creepy or Romantic? You Decide

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

Twilight focuses on the theme of love, or forbidden love to be more specific, as the plot centers around Bella and Edward romantic relationship. While, in Harry Potter love is a theme, but it is use to fight of evil and hatred. Twilight has been criticized by literary and film fans for laying the cheese on thick with its abundance of cheesy moments. For those who may not know, the vampires in Twilight don’t sleep. This gives them more time on their hands than the average human. There is a a scene, in the novel and film adaptation, that depicts Bella waking up to a staring Edward. This scene as been criticized as being creepy, stalker-ish, and downright disturbing.

Ron’s reaction appears quite appropriate in proportion to the majority of viewers opinions.

But, to directly oppose this notion, there are hundreds of poems that note the voice as observing his or her lover sleeping. This was not a new concept that Meyer dreamed up for her billion dollar plot line. But nevertheless, there are still some viewers that find the act strange. We have to admit, this meme is quite funny and makes a good point. It will be in a special place in our hearts.


23 Umm…Cedric, is that You?

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

Voldemort (or he-should-not-be-named-but-I-have-to-say-his-name) finally makes his full-body debut in the fourth Harry Potter (The Goblet of Fire), epic and noseless in his mystical evil cloak. Before then, there were mere indicators of his presence. The name, his face on the back of Quarrel’s head in Philosopher’s Stone, and a floating cloak, just to name a few. Everyone could not wait to see Ralph Fiennes’ portrayal in the fourth film. It finally happens at the end of the Triwizard Tournament. For the third and final task, competitors had to escape the most wretched maze a writer cold conjure.

In this scene, both Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory, another competitor from Hogwarts, are transported to the grave of Harry’s parents. Voldemort swiftly and casually takes out Cedric, after gaining his strength again. Most viewers were pretty bummed by this sudden death, but nothing became more meme worthy in the Twilight vs. Harry Potter world than the casting of Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen. An awkward paparazzi photo taken of Pattinson as he leaps into a pool was shared around the internet and, inevitably, began showing up in Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory references. Oh Cedric, we hardly knew ye!

22 Ready for Some Baseball?!

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

One of the few memes that exist on the internet that trumps Twilight over Harry Potter is the one that references one of the few occasions that the Cullens attempted to have a good time (though it was ultimately disrupted by opposing vampires who sensed a human’s presence, but you get it). In the first book, Edward invites Bella to spend time with his vampire family; all humans who were turned at some point in their lives. He tells her that they are going to play baseball. Sounds simple enough, right? A little game of baseball to break the ice between girlfriends and family members. But, Bella soon learns that this is far from the truth.

The Cullens learned early on in their transformation that some of them possessed specific abilities. Edward has the ability to read minds, Alice has the ability to see the future and Jasper has the ability to manipulate the emotions of other. But, what they all had in common was uncanny strength and speed, marking baseball as one of the few pastimes they could participate in at an equal level. The amusement of fantasizing about the possibilities in this sport are breathtaking, but so is the concept of flying on brooms a thousand feet in the air. Maybe if the worlds could collide, and wizards and vampires could fly on brooms playing baseball?

21 The Internet is Savage…

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

This meme also evokes the comparison between Harry Potter characters and the succumbing of Bella to her sadness when Edward leaves her. It compares three separate Harry Potter romantic entanglements; Ron and Hermione, Snape and Lily Potter, and of course, Harry and Ginny. The three Potter characters have preferred and interpretatively strong reactions to the heartbreak that inevitably befalls every person who dares to open themselves up to another person. Though hurting inside, Hermione, Snape and Ginny all placed their grief toward action which ultimately contributed to the final fall of Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

Bella’s initial reaction was not really proactive.

Viewers often forget that it was Bella who travelled to Italy to stop Edward from taking his own life, without any expectation of a relationship in return. It was Edward who changed his mind and decided that he wanted to be with Bella. Which caused the wheels to began turning upon the notion of eventually turning Bella into a vampire to protect herself. But it was always Bella who asserted that she did not need Edward’s aid in the slightest degree. However, jumping off a cliff to capture a glimpse of your soulmate doesn’t sound like the smartest idea in the world. To each their own.

20 Cedric, Coming Back to Life, as a Rich Brit

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

Robert Pattinson was cast in The Goblet of Fire in 2005, completely unknown to the film world. He starred in minor supporting roles and theatre productions in England before that. In HP, Pattinson gained some fame as the tall, dark and silly Cedric Diggory, opposing the series often confused and pushy hero Harry Potter. Pattinson was then catapulted into stardom with his portrayal of Edward Cullen in Twilight. He was instantly fawned over by teenage and adult men and woman as the 21st century’s version of Dracula. The Twilight Saga was a success. His face appeared on cups, blankets, t-shirts and a plethora of merchandise. Pattinson made about $39.5 million to play the shimmering vampire.

But, with the fortune came a lack of privacy. Pattinson was unable to walk down the street without being mauled by hordes of twilight groupies. This fame though, despite understandable moments of regret, kicked down doors for the actor that had yet to come to fruition. Roles kept pouring in and the control on more critically acclaimed films like Remember Me welcomed him into circles of serious acting. If it had not been for Twilight, Pattinson would more than likely not be where he is at in his film career. Oh, and if he wasn’t in the notoriously labelled enemy hit series, we wouldn’t be guffawing at this meme.

19 Scratches Head Very Hard

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

The internet is swelling with trolls (“TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!”), especially trolls whose sole existence thrives upon the tears of fans who take it as personal insult when you claim the fandom they belong to is any less than the sheer best ever. This current meme is a response to opposing Twilight fandom protests that J.K. Rowling copied many of the main components of the characters in her eight book mega-series. Well, other than the cold hard fact that Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone was released in 1997 and Twilight in 2005, so let’s take a step back here. The theme that some Twilight fans believe Rowling emulated was the presence of werewolves in the third installment, Prisoner of Azkaban.

First of all, one of the main advantages of creating your own world of magic, wizards, vampires and werewolves is that it is your world, as the author. There is no sublime invisible rulebook that forces you to follow the classical features of what it means to be a supernatural being. Rowling and Meyer’s werewolves differ greatly. Meyer, on one hand, asserted her werewolves as shape-shifters, transforming directly into an actual wolf, rather than the blending of a wolf and human, as presented in the classic films A Werewolf in London and Wolfman. Remus Lupin is cursed with Lycanthropy, a disorder controlled by the cycle of the full moon. Other characters in the novels practice Animagus, an ability to transform into an animal that takes painstaking practice. Do your research people!

18 A wild Jumping Rob Appears Again!

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

Once again the internet was blessed with a Robert Pattinson jumping into a pool meme, flawlessly edited into this Harry Potter vs. Twilight film sequence. Pattinson can be seen leaping in the background (or probably in this context, as Edward Cullen) in the failed baseball scene in Twilight, and the first train trip on the Hogwarts Express in Philosopher’s Stone. Enemy vampire James Witherdale is seeking to capture and take out Bella, which directly opposes the Cullen’s peaceful philosophy of not killing humans as a meal. But the nomadic vampires don’t agree. Maybe a shirtless, leaping Edward would divert his attention?

Same goes for Ron Weasley, known for his own unquenchable appetite, showing the Hogwarts stewardess that he is good for the ride to his first year of learning wizardry. Edward jumping in the background is just an added bonus, to a meme that doesn’t really have a direct meaning, but one is immune to releasing a mini giggle toward it. If not, then we’re pretty sure you’re just soulless vampire, travelling around from baseball game to baseball game for vampire girlfriends to feed on. Go have a classic Molly Weasley sandwich, I promise you’ll feel better. We’ll bet a springing Edward Cullen on that.

17 Everyone Has an Opinion!

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

What would an article about memes be without a nifty movie collage? Eleven different wizardry characters are observed with a fantasized reaction toward the Twilight books and film saga. Actor wise, the Harry Potter series is a whose who of British artistry, from Alan Rickman as the solemn dark hero of Severus Snape, to Emma Thompson as the neurotic professor Sybill Trelawney.

Everyone has something to say about the rivalry between the eight vs three book series.

Daniel Radcliffe has simply had enough hearing about it, Dumbledore (initially played by Richard Harris, and then later Michael Gambon), as a simplistic living man, didn’t mind it as much as his Potter counterparts.

Lupin is intrigued, and of course, Cedric Diggory makes an unforgivable mistake by placing his finger in two independently delicious pies—or relieving both an enemy and a friend of their blood. It is unfair to claim that the majority of the wizardry world would greatly object to the notion of vampires, but they could realistically cringe at the concept of one sparkling. If only Edward could have ridded the world of boil-like Draco Malfoy. I’d be okay without that dimwit (Apologies to Draco fans).

16 Hmmm Probably Best Not to Laugh…

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

Now talk about world’s colliding! Now, everyone who knows Stephanie Meyer’s vampires knows that they can’t be removed by average means. They can be injured, getting close to their end. In order to completely perish, their head must be removed, and then the rest of the body burned. I am not sure if the author of this meme completely thought this through, as Voldemort, as a dark wizard, only knows how to cast spells that are intended to end life. Would Edward be immune to this? Would any and all vampires in the Stephanie Meyer universe be effected by a spell in the wizardry world? Or would Edward and all of the other bloodsuckers be able to avoid spells via their secondary superquick-superstrong skills?

We won’t probably ever know, unless one creates their own fan fiction world where Rowling and Meyer characters collide. Maybe then we can finally see the ultimate baddie face off against the most self reflecting vampire to ever live. Now that would be a battle I’m sure, both the twilight and Harry Potter fandoms can agree upon wanting to view. Who would land on top? Magical spells that aim right at the heart, or the strength of stone? Tune in next time, on TWIHARD VS. NOSELESS VILLAIN!

15 Harry Potter vs. Twilight: Civil War

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

Avengers: Infinity War was just released and the collective respond was: what the heck did I just watch?! Intrigue is the paramount expression displayed. However, before Tony Stark and Steve Rogers to take on Thanos, they battled famously in Captain America: Civil War. Some believe that it had to do with a collision of egos. What others did not consider was that Tony and Steve differ vastly upon which fandom they fall into. Will it be Harry Potter or Twilight? Well, not really, but the battle of opinions can be seen as akin to that of two superheroes going toe to toe.

Friendships have been ruined and romantic relationships came to a halt. All due to this differing of thought on preference of book and film. What will dominate? Romance or friendship? Speed or magical ability? Shape shifters or Lycanthopy? Good vs. Evil, or moral ambiguity? If the consensus at the end of Civil War was any indicator, it was that each superhero had their own beliefs and that a peaceful resolution could be reached via compromise and active listening. But come on…who wants to just agree to understand another person’s perspective? Boring!

14 Local Bookworm Doesn’t like Twilight?

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

Well, technically there was no indication that Hermione Granger would have refused to read the Twilight series. Hermione, a veracious reader, was known to read books related to her studies, as well as Professor Lockhart’s biography. There is no reference to whether or not wizards write or read fiction, or, if they particularly prefer witch or wizard writers. Nothing could stop them from picking up muggle fiction during the times of year when they are not in school. So she could have been walking the aisles of Barnes and Noble, running her finger along the spines of various best sellers, arriving upon one with a shiny red apple on the cover.

Perhaps, she was intrigued? Werewolves exist in her world, why wouldn’t vampires? Why wouldn’t a reader like Hermione pick up popular fiction and indulge? Twilight has often been criticized as being a terribly written. But, Stephanie Meyer is an accomplished English major and has since written a few novels since Twilight’s popularity evened out. But the truth is, we will never know. So let’s imagine a world where Hermione either blatantly rejects the sparkling series or embraces it with the quiet respect she’s always been known for.

13 Got to Love Those Hufflepuffs!

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

Again, with the creepy references. This meme refers to a scene in the first Twilight movie where Bella gets in trouble while walking home after spending time dress shopping with friends. He reads the minds of the perpetrators and systematically dismantles their confidence toward potentially hurting a scared and vulnerable Bella. Edward then takes her out for dinner and Bella inquires as to how Edward was able to locate her. Psych! Harry Potter references abound! Edward travels back into his HP origin as the beloved Cedric Diggory, and the even more cherished Hufflepuff House. The line refers to a quote talking about the Triwizard Tournament.

For the second task, competitors must find someone important to them in the lake outside of Hogwarts. It looks like Edward possess quite a few skills from the wizardry world. In one world, he’s a loyal and helpful friend to Harry Potter, and in the other, falls head over fang for the innocent Forks newcomer. Advantages exist for both; the excitement of a romantic mix-up, the temptation of a challenge easily met. Little does Bella know that she’s dating a Hufflepuff, the kindest of the houses! She should be thankful and maybe get herself a seat under the sorting hat.

12 Well That’s just Rude

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

Clearly, this person is not a fan of the Twilight series. As previously mentioned, it takes a lot of effort to actually get rid of a vampire in Stephanie Meyer’s world. While we aren’t entirely sure, it would take a lot more than some wands to rid the earth of this modern blood drainer. Edward Cullen has been incredibly criticized as a modern interoperation of vampire, mainly because he acts as the opposite in image as previously presented vampires in film and literature, for example Count Dracula portrayed in Dracula by Bram Stoker.

Dracula wasn’t exactly the Brad Pitt of the 1800s era. In his truest form, Dracula looks like a melted lizard, because let’s face it, he is a demon from the depths of the underworld.

Edward Cullen is more like a model vampire, chiseled straight from cobblestone, smooth and simultaneously soft. Robert Pattinson did start modelling at the age of 12, so being paid for looking good is nothing knew for the actor. That could be the reason why Potter is adamant about riding their world of the prettiest Cullen. But they really don’t have anything to be ashamed of. But, that flared up hair definitely does add a little extra appeal when the sun is shining on that diamond skin.

11 If Snape Says it, it is So

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

Once again there is another reference to the average belief of what a vampire should look and act like. I remember the distinct moment when my sister and I went to see the first Twilight movie. The hopes were high, the expectations, even higher. A packed full theatre of similarly expectant men and women. The opening scene progresses, the emotions are running high. The most exciting and build up scene was coming up, Bella following Edward into the forest, having an intense and fervent conversation in close proximity.

Finally, Edward steps into the sun, revealing why he and his vampire family must avoid the dying star. His already pale skin begins illuminating, dividing into even diamond shaped divots. Then, abruptly, out of no where, like a vampire leaping out of the tree, wind chime sounds start echoing through the crowded theatre. The absolute horror that painted on my sisters face, was memorable, in all of the wrong ways. The latter of fairy dust reverberating from the speakers was enough to put my sister off the film versions for life, but it did not deter her from re-reading the series from the perspective she trusted the most, her own. Snape agrees, to the point of removing a staggering 50 points from the Hufflepuff clan.

10 A Blinding Green Light…Or Not?

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

Snape returns once more in the following meme, and approaches the common conundrum as the whether or not a magical spell could actually rid the earth of a vampire. Well, Stephanie Meyer’s vampires. Avada Kedavra is the chief ‘gonna take you out’ spell, one neglected in being taught to the students of Hogwarts to avoid misguiding students down a road reserved for one Tom Riddle. A quote from The Goblet of Fire directly highlights its unmistakable power: “There was a flash of blinding green light and a rushing sound, as though a vast, invisible something was soaring through the air — instantaneously the spider rolled over onto its back, unmarked, but unmistakably dead.”

According to Harry Potter wiki, the spell is one three Unforgivable Curses, any of which being used would be given a life sentence in Azkaban prison. The only spell that can counter the use of the blinding green light is titled ‘sacrificial protection.’ One may also ‘dodge’ the green bolt, but it’s known as an unblock able curse that cannot be halted by commonly applied shield charms. So it looks like, despite existing as a supernatural creature, Mr. Cullen would be more than doomed should be stand in the way of this relentless spell.

9 Well That’s not very nice Harry!

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

Bah, so much violence! Why all the hate Harry Potter fans? As discussed at length, it would be very difficult to render a vampire down for the count, but Cedric was a mere wizardry mortal. He was not skilled enough to defend himself against the fatal Avada Kedavra set out by the master of ending lives. The still does appear like Harry was the one who pulled the trigger (or should I say fired the wand?) and is gloating over his seething hate for the series. Daniel Radcliffe and Robert Pattinson did have a rumoured feud going on between them in 2016, despite having worked together and developing a close friendship.

According to the Inquisitr, Radcliffe had some serious opinions about Pattinson’s then girlfriend and fiancé, who supposedly believed she was “sucking the life out of him”. (I had to put that quote in, you know I did!”) Pattinson also did not approve of Radcliffe’s choice in girlfriend either. Though never confirmed, this was the straw that broke the camel’s back of their friendship and they were later seen duelings outside Pattinson’s estate with duct tape tied around sticks shaped like wands…just kidding. But don’t tell me you wouldn’t pay to see that!

8 Emo is So 2008

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

The word emo comes with a lot memories. Can we blame Edward for brooding? Even if he is over 100 years old, he’s a 17 year -old guy that’s still stuck in his feeling. Plus, the act of brooding basically pours off the walls of high schools with a thickness that rivals the presence of body odour. But, the Harry Potter aren’t completely safe.

Ginny and Harry, the dynamic duo, seem to have forgotten that they too, despite being a wizard and a witch and all that fancy jazz, were unable to skip the phase where everything in life is both revolting and hormonally pleasing. They should know better than any other of the Harry Potter characters how it feels to be awkward and attracted to your brothers friend, or worse, your friends sister (Please don’t tell me you don’t cringe every time Ginny kneels down to tie Harry’s shoe, do NOT lie to me). So take all those uncomfortable ingredients, consume them, mix them together all over again, and then consume them quite literally for eternity. Then you’ll understand what it’s like to be Edward Cullen. So let’s try to give him and his sparkling clan of a family a break for a minute, shall we eh?

7 Is that Flying Car over Forks?

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

No one can forget the moment when Ron and Harry decide to steal Ron’s dad’s flying car when their way toward the Hogwarts Express was blocked. Anyone who knows anything about Twilight can’t forget the potency of the scene where Edward, clumsily, reveals himself to be a vampire by throwing himself in front of a moving car to save Bella. Undoubtedly, no one would ever forget the cataclysmic moment should these two worlds come into contact, both literally and figuratively. This is the internet and memes exist. So, anything can happen!

Imagine a twelve-year-old Ron driving (are there driving laws in the wizardry world?) toward Forks Washington, where he inevitably comes into accidental contact with Edward’s future vampire wife Bella Swan, searching for her keys with both headphones in. As she searches for her keys, she is unable to hear the clunky blue piece of junk flying towards her, so she can dive out of the way. This in turn forces Edward’s hand, leaping in the way of Ron’s reckless driving and narrowing miss crushing the entire mystical chronicle before it even has time to begin. Although the end result would satisfy some harsher HP fans, I think the amusing description given would suffice in my world.

6 You’re Confusing Your Girlfriends Edward

25 Twilight vs Harry Potter Memes That Will Make Fans Choose

Bella Swan is extremely distraught when Edward decides to leave her in New Moon. She is taken aback by his abandonment that she begins risking her life in order to hear his voice (which appears as a hovering apparition in the movie version). Edward always wanted to protect Bella, but he isn’t around anymore, so too bad. Bella decides to leap off of a cliff, a common pastime participated in by her close friend and comrades Jacob Black. She manages to survive, although confusing Alice’s premeditative reports of her jumping and Edward mistakenly intersecting and interpreting this as her death.

But Hufflepuffs are excellent finders, don’t you recall? If he were around, I’m sure h e would have no problem dipping into the deep to retrieve his love. Just like the way he located his Harry Potter girlfriend, Cho Chang during the Triwizard Tournament. Cedric may too busy retrieving Cho to remember to get Bella. Sadly, Cedric doesn’t possess mind reading abilities the way his future vampire self does. Its best to keep on swimming Bella, maybe Chris Hemsworth can dive in to save you instead? Now who’d complain about that!
