Harry Potter's fantasy world is a very well fleshed out one, not as well as Tolkien's but whatever.
Twilight seems to have no depth to it at all, just a vampire love story for pre-teen girls, it's like these books should just be in the romance section alongside all those books with Fabio on the cover. Abandon all hope for creativity, ye who enter here.
It's not that a vampire love story can't work, Lost Boys was a damn good movie, Twilight seems to have taken the basic idea and switch the gender roles... oh, and it does away with all that lame stuff like likable characters, vampires that are actually intimidating and the love angle actually being interesting.
