Can't Miss It: Monday
First of all, let Seattlest be clear up front: we have almost zero respect for Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series. Poorly written, dumb story line, not worth our time. Harry Potter, on the other hand, we loved. A group of opinionated kids at the Seattle Public Library debated the merits of the two series yesterday, and here's the video. Attention, kids: read a lot, frequently, and continue to hone your debate skills--they'll serve you in good stead in MySpace chat rooms for the rest of your lives.

I am going to be completely honest and say that I absolutely love both series. However, I don't like them being compared because there two completely different things. The only thing similar about them is that they are "fantasy" books. It is like comparing a strawberry to a pineapple. They are both fruits, but that is the only similarity. If they wanted to have a proper debate, they should have only compared the books in each series and not the two book series themselves.
I also hate it when people declare things about the series like "Bella is weak and Edward is abusive" or "Harry Potter promotes the occult and drug use". They are not these things. The only people that say these things are people manipulating the books because they dislike them and think they know better than everyone else.
