Robert Pattinson More Popular Than Daniel Radcliffe, Mothers Cringe

Pattinson's character is a one dimensional sex-object.

Radcliffe's character is an epic hero.

So... I'm not surprised.

Gee, it couldn't be that during the period in question, Pattinson was in a huge movie and on the cover of every gossip magazine everywhere, while Radcliffe was... not? Check again in 2 months and see where those trendlines end up. What a nonstory.

I absolutely love Harry Potter. He deals with real issues that effect people - being moral vs. immoral, being an underdog, the uncertainty of our future. The vampire movie is about how important it is to have a boyfriend.

Also, I really like that the stereotypical super good looking, tall, charming guy wasn't casted as Harry.

Pattinson is just so damn ugly - nothing like the book desribes. He's a stalker - he carries Bella around like a package and tells her if they make love she's likely to die, so he'll wait until she's undead. Of COURSE every girl is going to want that instead of the good guy. I too know 40+ women who love him. No No No. Give me Lucius Malfoy before he was castrated thank you very much. Me-ow!

Daniel Radcliffe is a dream boat and he can speak in full sentences! Kids today don't have a clue.

Of course, I use kids in the broadest sense since most Twilight fans I know are woman in their forties.

Alright, so by way of annoying girls screaming, I got the impression that the Twilight guy was supposed to be good looking. Uh. How could anyone consider that zombie man to be good looking? I am very confused.

Twilight is about the kind of love that you would swoon for at 13 and get a restraining order for at 20. (materializing in my bedroom to watch me sleep? No thanks, I'm all set.) Restraining order love with a good looking guy will tap into an obsessive demographic of googlers every time.

Daniel Radcliffe still ranks number one in searches done by sexually confused preteen boys.

Yes, but who ranks higher on imdb's starmeter?

Yes I've read all the books of both series, so sue me, I'm a teenage girl. But here's the thing and why Harry Potter will always kick sparkly man's ass. The reason HP is so big is that everyone can relate and the stories are about heroism, self-sacrifice, good v. evil, struggle, friendships and growing up in an ever more complicated world. The reason Twilight stuff is so big is because it feeds into our selfish desires, the books are all about just the two characters and the fact that they are "omgz soooo in lurv" which justifies all the self-centered things they do, the family and friends they hurt, and the people that die all so that they can live forever and be happy blah blah. They're only self-sacrificing for each other but since they're like one person instead of two individuals they're even selfish in that action. And the books feed into material things with the fancy cars, clothes etc, they play into all of our desires for love, money, exotic trips. And if Edward was poor and ugly I think Bella would see him for the crazy stalker he was, not some perfect thing.

@♥Anti-SocialSocialite♥: I feel the same about Lindsay Lohan.

From the pictures above, if you didn't know better, DR looks more like a vampire than RP. Daniel Radcliffe needs to go to the beach and get some color -- that or hit Lindsey Lohan's spray tanner.

I'm into neither Harry Potter nor Twilight, but my guess is that Robert Pattinson looks like an adult, while the Harry Potter gang still looks like a group of kids.

I couldn't consider the Harry Potter kids sexy - which is why when grown men fawn over Emma Watson, it still creeps me out, because although she's 19, she looks like she's 12. Same for Radcliffe and Grint.

he's got the eye-fucking going on, but also the dead-eyed thing. Dead Eye-Fucking? ugh, he's just creepy. not that I have a femboner for Daniel Radcliffe or anything, I just do not get the Pattinson thing. he looked like a nice boy in HP4, but now? yick.
