Harry Potter wins because it actually has a PLOT. And strangely enough, plot is very important for a novel.

Just one thing to say; Harry Potter doesn't need us PROVING that it's great; it proves that on its own... :)
Twilight is transparent; it's a pathetic, meaningless, redundant purple prose with ZERO complexity. You don't even need your thinking ability, there is no plot so you can actually link stuff, I've read the series, ALL of it and not once I went like "OH that's why she didn't have him explain why he didn't do that " or "OH that's why she said that vague thing earlier". While reading Twilight, I could've literally taken out my brain and still understood it.
Twilight is not as well known as Harry Potter; just point out round glassed or a lighting shaped scar, and see the first thing that comes to mind to the person you're asking, whether the person is a male, female, an adult, a teenager or a child, I am 100% sure that the person will say HARRY POTTER. I am perfectly sure that people across the globe know of Harry Potter more than Twilight, have you considered the number of fans it has, from Asia to America, and from the North Pole to the South Pole(even though it's an unpopulated region). While if you ask someone who lives in let's say Pakistan if they know about Twilight, I am sure they will say we know what twilight is, it's both the time before sunrise called dawn and the time after sunset called dusk!.
Twilight sorry to say, has no morals compared to Harry Potter. It's just a matter of the way you look into it, it's wrong to compare Stephanie Meyers to J.K Rowling because they have nothing in common, as J.K created a new different world, a world you can indulge yourself in where you can immerse your senses and unleash your imagination. Stephanie's work is something common, I guess there are a lot of references to human and vampire affection in many books, since vampires are known to be lustful and seductive. When people say that Stephanie is the new J.K; well I take it as wishful thinking as this can never happen, no matter what!
And like Kelsey said, Twilight has got a lesser number of sales compared to Harry Potter. Harry Potter sales are a lot more than you think Twilighters, Harry Potter is translated to more than 67 languages, it has films, video games, toys, clothes, a theme park, food (Chocolate frogs\Bertie Botts beans and more)... ETC. The books have sold more than 400 million copies worldwide, while Twilight only sold 25 million, you can see the VAST difference between them.
OK so Stephanie Mayer just dreamed about Twilight and started writing, she didn't plan her plot I'm sure of it, and mark my words this affected her plot severely. There are no subplots to keep you interested, there's only one plot and that plot revolves around Bella loving Edward, Edward loving Bella, Jacob loving Bella and Bella loving Jacob. Comparing Stephanie Meyer's plot to J.K Rowling's amazing plot is rather silly, because J.K created a new world filled with details beyond description, and do not forget her subplots, J.K's subplots are far more complex than Stephanie's main plot in the first place.
Do not get me started on Stephanie's style of writing, although some may find it good, it's very weak, she uses words too often and she writes three chapters each time she wants to describe how good looking Edward is, I started disliking the word 'smoldering' good lord, how many times did she use that ?!. Also she frequently adds a big word to simple sentences just to make it look more professional, and I honestly think that's what middle schoolers do, at least I used to do that in middle school. And as the first person style she used, well what is so fascinating about her writing in first person, I've recently discovered that it only makes the book longer and more boring, when she writes in first person she can add more details like this made up one here: "Bella smelled the amazing vapor of the hot water pouring from her shower mixed with her shampoo". I practically vomited at each and every sick, cheesy love scene she wrote, and of course the love sentences from Edward to Bella "My life was moonless before you..... Or whatever it was".
Now can Stephanie's style of writing compare to J.K's captivating, amazing writing ?! Firstly, J.K started her writing easy, so that six year olds can read her books, then the books developed as each and every fan grew, the books grew with them NOT losing the amazing captivity they possess. Secondly, J.K doesn't use words too often, she tends to vary her ways of describing something, and NONE of her dialogue lines where cheesy at all. Thirdly, did J.K ever write 3 long chapters on how Harry was the chosen one in each and every book ?! Alright I know that it was mentioned in each book, but she NEVER SAID more than "The boy who lived", see, a simple small sentence that takes only a tiny space in the book, not oh how perfect incredibly long paragraphs on Edward's smoldering golden eyes, amazing beauty or his sparkle.
Also don't forget that Stephanie's saga is basically for little 13 year olds who didn't read many books to be able to judge. But seriously, she stole her plot basically, now if any of the Twilighters ever read a classic book, or at least any OTHER book they'd understand what I mean!. Stephanie's plot isn't new; well I don't call human\vampire affection new that is used in so many books. Since vampires are known to be very seductive and lustful. So this means her plot is common, someone long ago had that idea, the idea was written in many other amazingly written books, so why waste the time and pathetically try to copy a plot in a very crappy way that makes the reader want to hurl ?! Now, tell me have you EVER read any other plot that has, even the slightest similarity to Harry Potter ?! No there are no plots like it; J.K worked 15 years on it!! 15 years for crying out loud! We have to appreciate her work, she not only made drafts, she made drafts for the drafts, now how can that NOT BE professional, and how can we not take that for granted ?! And look how her books turned out to be! Thank god her work paid off.
Of course when it comes to Stephanie's characters, well not all of them, but most, are very annoying and rather dimwitted, who would wish to relate to them. Starting with Bella, the sick dependent, whiny, dreamless, ambition-less pathetic, oh-I'm-going-to-die every three pages and no-one-notices-me type of girl, to the oh-so-perfect-god, the amazingly handsome, brilliant, obsessive, ABUSIVE Edward.. The only good character she has is Jacob! And he is the one I was referring to when I said "Not all of them". Of course that didn't last, she wrecked Jacob when she made him a pedophile, honestly imprinting Nessie, and it’s sickening. Now look at J.K's characters, NONE of them is useless, none of them was left behind, I could easily give up some of the characters from Stephanie's series, but Neville the one character we thought to be useless KILLED NAGINI, the Horcrux, that is character DEVELOPMENT. Severus, look at Snape, he's a masterpiece no character was ever as complex as he is!! Dumbledore, we all thought we knew him so well, then she surprises us with that amazing past, and complexity! Voldemort, even Voldemort the villain, he too is amazing, he is so complex, the way he became Voldemort is just enough to intrigue any reader!
Oh and what morals can you learn from Twilight ?! List ONE GOOD moral, just one and I'll back out, let me tell you what I learned from it:
1- Females are stupid, whiny and they should have no dreams or ambitions, they should lust the perfect man and that's it. Look at Bella, she PROVES that.
2- You have two men fighting over you, then you have succeeded in becoming the perfect female, and may the dominant male win.. Like animals you see! Jacob and Edward fighting over precious Bella.
3- You should forget your friends, your loved ones for this so called perfect man. Look at how Bella treats her friends, how she sulks around the house because oh so poor Bella doesn't have a boyfriend.
4- Men should be abusive, controlling and obsessive to the point that they sabotage your car so you don't go out, to the point that they look at you when you're sleeping.. To these creepy points, that scares me just by reading them. Thank you Edward!
Now let me tell you what I learned from Harry Potter which I grew up with, and you tell me which book has better morals:
1- Be trustful.
2- Care for your friends, family and loved ones.
3- Love is important, you should know that it's one of the important essentials of life, no one and I mean NO ONE can live, if they're not loved.
4- Be brave, you may be small, young, foolish and careless. BUT! You sure can do a change in life.
5- Do not let anyone or anything, drive you away from doing what is right, what you believe in.
6- Just look at the amazing, truly deep, meaningful things that Dumbledore says. Look at how many quotes you can take from his speech?
7- Facing obstacles? Do not let that get you down, no! Go and try again and again and again, until you do it right.
8- Study! It's important that you learn, not only learn how to 'fight evil' or 'magic unreal stuff' No! Learn and be eager for learning, sure they teach magical subjects in Hogwarts, but please, I have a brain and so do others.. That sends a message to all of us, saying learning is essential and most importantly you cannot live without it.
8- Sacrifice, you must favour others, over yourself. So which one has better morals?!
Don't get me started on Breaking Dawn, yes I read it.. It doesn't deserve to be called a book.
