1. You have horrible grammar. Corrections: I love Twilight, it's the best love story ever. I have all the books, and everything! One day, I was reading Harry Potter and this guy, Sirius Black, turns into a werewolf. THEY TOTALLY RIPPED OFF TWILGHT. Jacob and his gang were werewolves first. Then, the writer didn't even think to change the last name of the character she stole! UGH! So the real question is, "Why do people like Harry Potter better than Twilight? It's just a cheap ripoff."
2. For the answer to this question, I would usually ask you to do some research about the time that the books were written, why J.K. Rowling is millions of dollars richer than the writer of Twilight, and the difference between werewolves and animagi. However, since you have grammar that shows that you are too stupid to do that, I will tell you! I did some research and found this. Perhaps it will help you educate yourself.

Q: Why do you prefer "Harry Potter" to "Twilight"?
A: The "Harry Potter" series is a complex, original story of adventure with a lot of fantasy elements, including an entire made-up world coexisting alongside our own. "Twilight" is really a romance novel, not fantasy, and hardly deserves to be treated as such. One major reason I prefer "Harry Potter" is the character development: "Twilight" characters develop minimally or not at all, whereas in "Harry Potter" characters grow and mature along with the reader, bringing him/her deeper into the story.
Q: How does Rowling's writing surpass Meyer's?
A: Stephenie Meyer's style is very straightforward; the vocabulary is basic, there are almost no hidden clues concealed in the writing to foreshadow future events. It is extremely bland and repetitive. J.K. Rowling, on the other hand, writes simply enough that a 10 year old can enjoy it, but includes subtle humor and references that older teens/adults appreciate. An example: The character of Remus Lupin, the werewolf, is named after the story of Remus and Romulus, two boys supposedly raised by wolves who later founded Rome, and the Latin term for wolf (lupus). This extra level of complexity makes Harry Potter appealing to many adults as well as kids.
Q: Identify a theme in "Harry Potter" that speaks to you strongly.
A: I find the theme of love to be the most interesting and deeply explored. Unlike love in "Twilight," the love featured in the Potter books is much more than romance; it is a love for family, friends and everyone in the world. It is love that drives Harry's mother to die for him, Snape to switch sides, and Harry to try to sacrifice himself in the hopes of weakening Voldemort. The idea of doing something for the greater good, just because you love everyone and want to protect them from harm, is a powerful concept
I hope this got into your idiotic brain.
Love,
