In honor of the ongoing debate regarding Twilight versus Harry Potter and which is better, and given the fact that I am currently in England, the land of Harry Potter, I’ve decided to do a special edition of the blog dedicated to the very subject. Harry Potter and Twilight are probably two of my favorite things in the world and in keeping with the Thanksgiving Theme, here are the top 5 reasons I am thankful for each:
Harry Potter
5. The Weasley Twins
Like myself, they know the value of a good prank. Some of their better works include the fireworks that crash together and spell “poo” and the swamp in the corridors of Hogwarts.
4. Hermione Granger
She makes hardworking bookworms look cool. Think about it, she was one of the main reasons Harry Potter was able to defeat Lord Voldemort.
3. The Scenery
Filmed at some of the most interesting and picturesque locations throughout England, the film is a treasure trove of places to visit.
2. The Cast
The cast of Harry Potter is like a Who’s Who of British Actors.
Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Richard Harris, Robbie Coltrane, Kenneth Branagh, John Cleese, Emma Thompson, David Tennant, Brendan Gleeson, Michael Gambon, Gary Oldman, Julie Christie, Ralph Fiennes, Imelda Staunton, Helena Bonham Carter, Jim Broadbent, Bill Nighy, Miranda Richardson and of course Robert Pattinson. I think all of the British Film Industry has been in these movies. Except Hugh Grant. Wonder what he did to piss off the Harry Potter directors…
1. Speaking of R-Patz
JUST SAY NO!
The number one reason I am thankful for Harry Potter is the fact that I can watch R-Patz without K-Bot ruining it with her blinking, lip biting awfulness.
Twilight

Happy Thanksgiving! Kevin has pointed out that this blog has nothing to do with England, so I’ll return to regular blogs tomorrow.
Thanks for that, Amanda. Hope you, Kevin, and your mom had a great Thanksgiving in Ulverston.
