Reasons Why Harry Potter Is Better Than the Hunger Games

I can't believe people have an opinion that Harry Potter is better than the Hunger Games. Because obviously, its not true. I've read all 4 Hunger Games books and watched all available movies, They all make complete sense and are all very entertaining. I've read the first 3 Harry Potter Books, and they were so boring. I mean I literally fell asleep when I watched them, and the movies are even worse. After I read/watched The Hunger Games I thought, "This is the best book/movie I have ever read/watched." I am being deadly serious. The Hunger Games are the best, so don't bother arguing. Do you hear me?!

#KatnissEverdeen is the BEST!

Okay, you are really just saying better than the stupid hunger games books and novels? That is extremely rude and disrespectful. The author worked so hard on the hunger games (which is a masterpiece by the way) and you are basically saying it's nothing. I am a hunger games fan and I fully respect harry potter and I like J.K. Rowling as a person and I don't even like harry potter so why don't you get some class before you start a debate because you are seriously being a jerk.

First of all, I've read harry potter and watched all their movies.
Secondly, HARRY POTTER IS AMAZING.
Last but not least, hunger games are better. Yes, I'm a hater Boi
I LOVE HUNGER GAMES but I respect why you think harry potter is better. Its okay to have diffeeent opinions... :P (although you should really watch hunger games before hating on it

I do like Hunger Games but the plot gets more and more ridiculous as it goes along. Harry Potter has one of the most complicated plots ever and even then it is memorable and amazing. It also has less plot holes and the whole plot has many twists and turns in it that Hunger Games can never match.

The Cast and crew of Harry Potter is brilliant. To begin with the crew. Every single Director who came in Harry Potter brought something special to it. Stuart Craig did an amazing job on making the Harry Potter universe real. And every single actor was cast perfectly. Every actor and actress was perfect for his or her role.In Hunger Games you have not these great actors or actresses. They just do their role and that's it. In Harry Potter the people really love the films beside the fact they are perfect for what they do for the films.

If the first movie had poor acting, just keep in mind you are comparing children to a fully grown and professional actor.

Jennifer Lawrence did a phenomenal job and in the first movie it had extremely poor acting.

Both casts and crews were amazing, but I prefer the Hunger Games cast and crew.

John Williams did such an amazing job, especially on Hedwig's Theme. It will always be recognized as Harry's Theme or something related to Harry Potter. While you look at Hunger Games, they don't have that.

This isn't even a reason. This list is full of stupid, petty reasons. Don't get me wrong though, I do worship both series.

*ahem* The Hanging Tree, Rue's Lullaby, The Valley Song, Lucy Gray's Reaping Song, The Ballad of Lucy Gray Baird! Suzanne Collins is an excellent songwriter! Hunger Games totally beats Harry Potter here.

I agree, Hanging tree is a good song though.

Can't I just vote for every category? Because Harry Potter is better than The Hunger Games in every way possible. I'll tell you right now, right here 24th of February, 2016, Harry Potter is the book that is going to (already is) leave a legacy behind. Harry Potter will be remembered 20000 years from now.
The Hunger Games will die down (actually already died down, after all the movies came out).The Hunger Games is like a onenight stand. Harry Potter is like a soulmate, your one true love.

I agree. The wizards are old-fashioned, so it's old-fashioned whenever you read it.
Another thing about why it's better in general is because Harry plays a crucial role in Voldemort's downfall, while Katniss plays almost no role in the Capitol's.

Harry Potter is Timeless, even now after 2 years since the last film people keep reaidng the books and keep watching the films. Ans are still posting things on Facebook and on the internet. I think in a few years time Hunger Games will be forgotton.

Harry Potters magic stays with you the rest of your life. It has a strong message about love and friendship

In Harry Potter everything has been build up so brilliant. You really wait 7 books or/and 8 films for the final big confrontation with You-Know-Who. You really wait 7 books and 8 films for answers for questions. While The Hunger Games hasn't been build up so very good.

I love both series but this lis tis definitely true in my opinion.

HG never the took the time it needed to build up their characters. It felt like I ultimately knew more about Ron and Hermione by the end of the first book then I did about Gale and Peeta’s throughout the whole series.

From the very first page you fall in love with the characters. Because it is such a big series and the characters are so different you really love them. And Harry ultimately is a kind of friend for the reader. HG doesn't have that power

HG never the took the time it needed to build up there characters. It felt like I ultimately knew more about Ron and Hermione by the end of the first book then I did about Gale and Peet’s throughout the whole series.

Harry Potter characters aren't bad, but the Hunger Games ones are a lot better. We have a Finnick.

I loved the harry potter series and I still do, it's one of the most important things in the world to me and has always made me feel at home when I used to feel isolated from my friends. I did like the hunger games but the last book was kind of a disappointment and I felt like the ending just kind of faded away and wasn't really the best

Okay I agree that Harry Potter hits home for many people, but Suzanne Collins wanted the world of panem to be a cruel, uncomforting place. Even Katniss didn't feel at home in the place the character was born. Harry felt at home in Hogwarts with the other wizards after being treated like trash before. That itself is a huge disadvantage to thg on this one

Hogwarts does really feel like a home. The first time where you as reader especially as a kid read about Hogwarts it feels like a home. In The Hunger Games there isn't such a place. It doesn't have that kind of power or magic or love that touches the reader.

What? , you should've made this a list on reasons why Harry Potter is great.

One of the reasons why Harry Potter is the greatest book series and film series ever is that it isn't just a fantasy theme. Why is Harry Potter such a rare thing? Well in my opinion because it also has big emotional moments which doesn't make it a Fantasy series or a romance series or Young adult or teenage or a child story. From all the themes it has something. Hunger Games is a typical young adult story.

Finnick smiles. Katniss smiles. Rue smiles. The Careers smile. Peeta smiles. Gale smiles. Prim smiles. Just because half of them are dead doesn't mean that they don't smile.

The HG is all about pulling through the struggles and never giving up! And yes, characters in the HG do feel joy.

They teach you how to smile even in the darkest of times.

Even Snape smiles well more of a sneer but still

In harry potter if you fall in love with a character (like dobby) if they pass away you will a surge of emotion. Its really upsetting and it shows how well written it is. While in the hunger games they only sad death was really prim and maybe finnick. But that's not really as sad as fred or Sirius or dobby or lupin. You fall in love with the characters of harry potter when with hunger games you don't really feel that emotion.

True, finnick was my favourite character and (spoiler) when he died I didn't even cry because it wasn't sad. also (spoiler) prim's death could have been so sad but it wasn't written well enough to be sad, the only part of it that actually upset me was the concept of her dying rather than how it was written. the only death I cried at was rue's.

Both series include extremely sad deaths. But Prim and Finnick had sadder deaths to me than any of the HP deaths (although both are extremely depressing, I did cry for days)

The deaths in Hunger Games are WAYYY sadder. You know, Rue, Finnick, Prim, Mags, Cinna, Cato, Clove, Thresh... I could go on.

Not just adults enjoy the series,
I myself am a teen and love the Harry potter series. My sister is under the age of 10 and enjoys it as well.

Harry potter is enjoyable for all ages unlike hunger games, I, myself being a teen love harry potter and my sister under the age of 10 years old enjoys harry potter too. Hunger games on the other hand has a lot of violence which is not really appropriate for kids (although my sister has watched it😂)

This doesn't make it better though...

Me (a 11 yr old) read hunger games when it was ten, and las5 night I watched it with my brother (7) he loved it and the movies weren’t as violent as I thought it would be.

The Harry Potter community is a more of one big family. Hunger Games fans are just, well, fans. There is a large difference between HG fans and the HP family.

Absolutely, totally, without a doubt right!

July 7th 2011 was maybe the most emotional world premiere ever. And there were so many Harry Potter fans. A worldpremiere like this you will never see in Hunger Games.

Harry Hermione Ron's love triangle is annoying, Harry should've ended up with Hermione.

Harry Hermione Ron love triangle is a movie thing, read the books moron.

Those coal miner rednecks need reality checks. Harry Potter incorporates a unique fantasy while allowing readers to emotionally relate to the characters. Hungers games shows an unrealistically evil and corrupt dystopian society, where most of the 12th district(starving) characters look healthy.
