THE TRUTH.
Harry potter is pretty good storytelling. Twilight is bad writing. It’s Mary Sue writing, which makes it even more disturbing to read.
Not only that, but it essentially glorifies misogynistic relationships from a girl’s point of view. It makes me gag when I think about how many girls read it and think having such shallow existences and relationships is OMG the best thing ever AHHH!!!1! blech. See?
Bella isn’t a character in Twilight, she’s just an object that stuff happens to/around, and that is a terrible mindset for girls to have of themselves.

The problem with Harry Potter is that the more you think about it, the more weird stuff that doesn’t make sense pops up.

For example, despite the wonder Harry has for the magical world, he is profoundly uncurious when it comes to doing research on it, like reading books about its history and what not.

That’s why I think you should all try Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.

Because there’s nothing so magical you can’t at least apply the scientific method to it!
