The Twilight series has sold about 17 million books, that is huge,
enormous! The number of book series that have sold that well can be
counted on the fingers of one hand. It's a phenomenon! However as
extraordinarily popular as Twilight is it cannot approach Harry. 

Harry is not a phenomenon, Harry is an elemental force of nature.
The Harry Potter series has sold well over 400 million books. Only the
Bible and possibly "The Quotations Of Chairman Mao" even come close to
beating it. And in the category of books actually read and not just
bought, absolutely nothing can touch Harry.

I've never read a Twilight book but I saw the Twilight Movie, and on a
scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it a 6. On that same scale I'd give the
Potter movies a 10. I'm sure the Twilight book is much better than the
Twilight movie just as the Potter books are much better that the
Potter movies. All the same after seeing the movie I'm not in any big
hurry to read a Twilight book. 

By the way, I just heard that "Beetle the Bard" kicked Twilight out of
first place in the current Best sellers list. Apparently even
Rowling's B team can beat Meyer.
