Wizards or Vampires?

Since the Twilight Saga had become the newest hit book and movie last year Edward Cullen had become Harry Potter's rival in the hearts of young viewers and readers. Last 2008 the Twilight movie based on Stephanie Meyer's novel had made a record breaking debut, knocking J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter off its chair. On July 2009, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is ready to defend itself as the #1 box office hit. While come November, New Moon, Twilight's sequel will return to show another breath-taking romance-suspense story about Edward and Bella.

Here's a brief sneak peek on the upcoming most awaited teenage movies of the year:

Harry Potter, the boy was having really bad time after the well publicized return of Lord Voldemort. The wizarding world is in panic and the ministry is in a transition period after Cornelius Fudge has resigned. And then again, as the people called Harry the chosen-one, the ministry won't leave him alone. Since now Sirius Black was gone, Harry won't have anyone except Ron, Hermione, and Dumbledore to tell how peculiar Professor Snape (the old potion master and now the new Defense Against The Dark Arts Teacher, to Harry's dismay) and Draco Malfoy(and his constant disappearance in the marauder's map Harry owned.) was acting. And as his first relationship with the girl named Cho Chang, was not successful, Harry found himself hurting to see Ginny (Ron's sister) with someone else. As Harry was having closer ties with Professor Dumbledore, they will find a path to defeat the dark lord by looking from lord Voldemort's past.

With apparition exams, and N.E.W.T's lessons, and another love affair, would Harry Potter be able to save the wizarding world and be the real chosen-one? Or will he find mourning for another death?

On the other hand, the love story of a vampire and a mortal continues in New Moon. After what had happened on the night of Bella's birthday, Edward decided to leave her for her own safety. He wanted to let her go but Bella doesn't want too. Since the night Edward left her, Isabella (Bella) Swan couldn't think the way she normally does. All she dreamed about was Edward, and now he's gone, she doesn't know what to do. Until she found herself moving on and having fun with Jacob Black, Billy Black's son. That's before Jacob had gone weird and joined his tribe mates, Jacob had left Bella alone. Meanwhile, Edward was trying to forget Bella. He had gone to Italy to face the Volturi, the royal family of vampires, and make them kill him, when he thought that Bella was dead.

With the still looming terror of Victoria and her friend Laurent, and not to mention a major heart break, will they find their way to each other again? Or will they go to their own separate ways?
