The only difference is that Star Wars is a million times better. There is absolutely no arguing
+9001
of course cuz its OVER NINE THOUSAND
1-3 were masterpieces, champ?
Those aren’t starwars movies. They’re cheap knockoffs. Let’s pretend they didn’t happen, k?
Oh,Jake but they did. They really did. *closes eyes to hear Jar Jar’s screams of agony*
As if all Harry Potter movies were good.
Maybe not but then again we are still getting prequel jokes so you be the judge.
the only difference is that hp doesn’t have prequels
Not really. Nerd knowledge says that there is one about Harry’s dad and his friend.
u mad?
friend-S, the marauders
Yet.
If HP did have prequels, they’d name them logically and not start their series with 4, 5, & 6
The Star Wars movie series didn’t originally start with 4, 5, & 6. It was much later when they decided the story of Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker was interesting they should make 3 more movies thus being the prequel of the original triology.
I watched the first Harry Potter, was boring, didn’t watch another one.
you sir are missing out terribly for your stubbornness.
did someone just talk with jake?
Hi ya I made an account just to reply to ur stupid post. Yes they are real they did happen and yes there is proof that they did happen did you ever read the ORIGINAL books that the movies were made from if not maybe u should.
^ u got trolled, u mad?
Not just trolled, He made an account to feed the troll! Do you know what that means!? He just gave that idiot a trolling merit badge.
-_-;;
om nom nom nom
what is this i dont even
What the f^(k do you mean you “made an account”? All you have to do is type a friggin’ username. Oh, by the way, you typed “u” wrong there.
tldr;
Uh, dude, you don’t need to make an account to comment. And judging by the tone in your comment there, I’m guessing your face looks like :fffuuu:
BTW, he was talking about the Star Wars prequels not actually existing. He wasn’t attacking HP, attack-tard.
You must be mentally retarded, you don’t need an account to post. PFFFT.
You give us nerds bad names.
3 was pretty good, and even 1 and 2 weren’t bad, really. Maybe they couldn’t live up to the hype, but still, I’ve seen a lot worse.
I’ll admit it, I liked 3. It was 1 that wasn’t really good.
The only way I can even bear watching Attack of the Clones is in French, where they clearly had someone editing as they translated. Why did anyone on the cast of that movie not take a page from Harrison Ford’s book and ad lib ALL THEIR LINES?
You should download the Phantom Edits. Don’t ask me how, but that guy manages to take out a new movie from… who knows where.
He even makes the Padme-Anakin romance from Ep. II somewhat believable!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phantom_Edit
I freakin love space politics. 1 2 and 3 are A O K in my books.
Wait.. Emma Watson is the Ginger’s girl?
Someone didn’t read the book.
Can’t tell if trolling or just stupid.
Book?
Those things that no longer have their own stores anymore. Just a sad little aisle in Wal-Mart next to the “Shake-weight.” So sad. . .
Very true.
Star Wars \o/
+100000
they should have added “completely useless” on the stormtrooper/death eater bit
LOL
Maybe ‘recieved training but can’t aim for’
true
prequels disagree with you.
Star Wars For that win!
the first movies of starwars were good then it went down
with poter its just thz other way around btw u were first so no1 was arguiing
quit talking to yurself n get friends
wat.jpg
how did you get to choose your pic?
Quit talking to online people and go back to school. For the love of all that is holy, take some spelling classes.
’nuff said
OH YES THERE IS
Your opinion. Doesn’t make it fact.
first!
NOT
You forgot Kick-Ass Composer John Williams
John Williams didn’t compose music for the movie ‘kick-ass’ …did it?!
*did HE?
NO you idiot! John Williams IS a kick ass composer. He didn’t compose for “Kick Ass” I hope you are trolling. John Williams is an awesome composer who wrote the music for both of these movies.
You seriously thouth I didn’t know who John Williams was?! … ahahahah U mad?!
Can’t tell if trolling trolls, or just really bad troll.
You aren’t supposed to reveal that you’re trolling, not unless the other confronts you and presents you with incontrovertible evidence that you are in fact trolling, and not just stupid.
Oh, and Thoth, the ancient egyptian patron god of scribes, doesn’t make sense in that position.
the new token blapck friend
Who can say “blapck” 5 times fast? I’ll give you a shiny new penny!
blapckblapckblapckblapckblapck
I’m the best mang, I deed it!
Wait…Luke couldn’t do lightning in the movies….only in the Expanded Universe…I think.
Before anyone says trollololol. There is a Jedi Force lightning ability…only it’s called electro something
Well if you look closely it’s definitely of a drawing of Luke when he [SPOILERS] turned to the dark side [ENDSPOILERS]
Luke turns to the dark side? Are you sure that’s what you meant to say?
Yes, he did. In the books that could have been movies 7, 8, and 9.
same time, technically both parents where not dead in 4-6….>.>….
yes they were…from a certain point of view
HIGH. FIVE. o/
The difference is that people actually remember that Lando exists.
And it came out more than 20 years before harry potter.
Who?
Not sure if is trolling
or just stupid
Not sure if needs to go f*!% himself or just a Harry Potter or Star Wars nerd. I’m swaying towards the first option.
If you never watched Empire strikes back, then you need to f!%k yourself, and yes i’m a Star wars Nerd and I’m proud.
You don’t have to be a Star wars nerd to know who Lando is. Srsly, how old are you? what do you watch? Twilight?
I think we can squeeze some “Trek” fan-knowledge in there. . . In any scene where Leonard Nimoy has his shirt off, he becomes the “Hairy friend.”
ikr? who the yesnugget is that other “token black guy”
Dean Thomas. Read the books; he’s mentioned a lot more there.
Congratulatioins! You took grade ten english and learned about archetypes! Next please!
*Congratulations.
Yeah, Rowling studied the thing and came up with the more effective “recipe” taught…
then she copied sh*tload of other writers and already existing stuffs, made hipsters out of people who knew about it before she wrote it for dummies but still got away with infinit money…
Nice trolling, Rowling: yes, I mad >:|
So she took inspiration from other writers? Lucas did the same thing as well. There is a documentary explaining Lucas’s inspirations for Star Wars is in classic literature as well.
Dude, her name SCREAMS ”JK, Trowlling”, she ”is” Trowling.
No, she’s Rowling, and they hating.
Lol if anyone sounds like the hipster, it’s you…please, find me ONE work of literature that is absolutely 100% different from EVERYTHING ever written. Even the freakin’ Bible copied some “already existing stuffs.”
Epic of Gilgamesh. u mad?
After all, the Aeneid was just Iliad fanfiction.
The irony that you just spoke about taking English class then mis-spelled “Congratulations” is delicious…
token black people are an archetype now? since when does grade ten English cover 1950′s sitcoms and their methods of becoming politically correct? Archetypes are things like: Mentor, Hero, Sarcastic people who attempt sarcasm online with carefully thought out text.
That’s damn epic!
2 movie series I love…. yes….
Am I the only one who prefers Harry Potter?
I doubt you’re the only one, but evidence seems to suggest that you’re in a vast minority. At least there are no Harry Potter haters yet.
Those guys are always a hoot. OWL. HOOT. GET IT?!
just, don’t.
GTFO.
srsly GTFO NAO
No, I do too.
No, I do too
2 people against the world….oh lordy!
I prefer it too ^_^
the original star wars films really aren’t that good…
nerd rage attempt: failed
GTFO NOW!!!!
Oh come on, they aren’t that awesome. As a little kid, I loved them though. Watching them again, meh.
HP movies aren’t so good IMHO. The books, however, I loved them. So much that it’s probably why the movies cannot match my expectations.
why cant everyone on the internet (thats not trolling) be this sensible
I prefer Harry Potter, you are not alone.
BLASPHEMY! Star Wars was much better than Harry Snotter.
Snotter? Cute.
i like them both equaly. but you can compare alot of movies/books to each other becase almost every hero story has similar plot lines.
but there is one thing i think everyone here can agree with, harry potter and starwars(original trilogy) are better than twilight.
^this
^this again
I’m going to be bold (and stupid) and state that Jar Jar Binks by himself is more interesting than Twilight as a whole.
^this
this^
Chris, you won an Internet.
not stupid at all good sir.
Hey, if we’re going by Darths & Droids, Jar Jar was a GENIUS.
This is called “the hero’s journey” its a term created by Joseph Campbell its a series of events and rules that apply in many stories like, Star wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the rings, Matrix and many others i will not explain that because its to long, but you can search in the wikipedia
or you can go on with your lives and not look up the most boring concept in literature. which you probably figured out in grade four : “hey! stories about hero’s seem to follow some type of pattern! eureka!”
Wtf? Why is Vader the “Pale bad guy” instead of the emperor? Vader goes good in the last moment. The creator of this meme really dropped the ball there imo.
“The Pale, DEFORMED Bad Guy”
Good enough?
actually he is deformed. if you watch episode 3 he actually says the attempt on his life left him scarred and deformed.
No. That was the Dark Side that did that to him. He lied. *blueberryface*
Seriously, though, the lightning to the face only revealed his true nature as Sith.
ya maybe comparing vader to malfoy would be better.
rather, Lucio to the Emperor, pale, and they have power, not deformed
The Emperor is deformed lol
Um, no, compare Vader to Snape…
I was thinking the same thing. Vader is only evil because the Emperor made him evil. The Emperor is also pale and deformed. Ball dropped.
Bald, mini teacher on Harry Potter side was in Star Wars. He was an ewok.
bald tiny teacher is actually Willow too, the tiny…eum… dwarf from namesake movie? Forgot how they did call themselves…
Hey, there’s even a second “token black guy” that people always forget to mention when they say there’s only one Black guy in HP/SW. Windu, and that black kid who talked about black things in the third Harry Potter movie (“That’s right, Black could be anywhere.”)
Lee Jordan is black
Make another one with LotR aswell, and I will be much amused.
But who is the token black guy of Lord of the Rings? As far as I can remember, everyone’s white…
treebeard?…. meh
Orcs?
WIN !!^^
Black Riders?
that’s your opinion, but if you really read the series, and then watched the movies, i don’t think you would be so biased against it.
Why do people say “Read the series,” as if its impossible to not like them. Yes, I have never read them, and I won’t because I would find them boring. I don’t have to read them to know this. I never watched Sex and the City, but I know that I would not like it, because it’s a genre that I could care less about. I’ve never read HP (saw the first movie, boring, didn’t watch the rest), but I know that I wouldn’t like them, because they’re a genre in which I have no interest. This stuff is all matters of opinions anyways. For me, the best novels adapted to film are:
Trainspotting, The Godfather, A Clockwork Orange, Fight Club, LA Confidential, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, The Outsiders, Goodfellas, Apocalypse Now, The Shining
And then there have been awesome books that were poor films, such as Catch-22, To Kill a Mockingbird, 1984, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Alice in Wonderland, Lord of the Flies, etc…
The point I’m making is that HP is hardly the be-all-end-all of novels adapted to film. Maybe I don’t have the same tastes as other people on here (I think superhero movies are also boring), but I just don’t get what all the hype is about.
And I just sounded like the biggest hipster
I know that feel bro.
tl;dr
Don’t “tl;dr” stuff. Read long texts. It makes you smarter. You need it.
but it is also hardly something that makes you almost vomit, i know you’re exaggerating, but that’s the bias i was talking about, something that can capture the hearts of so many people isn’t likely to provoke an experience so vile that you compare it to vomiting, also thank you for sharing the titles you keep on your shelf, 100% relevant i’d say.
and one last thing, i never said it was the be-all-end-all of novels, nor even suggested it, i just THOUGHT that if you bothered to get past page 50 you would not be so repulsed by the franchise as you claim you are.
yup. i would now like to read the titles on my movie shelf: Short circuit, Short circuit 2, Earnest scared stupid…. The outsiders? really? are you sure your not thinking West side story? pretty much the same thing.
Star Wars the same as Harry Potter? My father will hear about this.
I love you.
WIN
more like comparing a Yugo to an Audi R8
And all music by John Williams
OMG!!! STARS WARS COPIED HARRY POTTER!!!
not sure if stupid
or just trolling
Not sure if can’t recognize trolls
Or trolling himself
Token black guy!!!
Obi-wan should be labeled as teacher and friend of father and paired with lupin and then pair yoda with dumbledore as wise old teacher/mentor
Obi-wan is Bi-wanning. Too much memes.
GAH! Lukes parents aren’t dead! Just his mom! His dad, Darth Vader, is still alive!
Luke’s father is Anakin Skywallker who died when Darth Vader was born, he becomes Anakin again in the end of the episode six but then he dies. (before someone says something, i’m being poetical, not literal)
Possibly why there is an asterisk next to “parents dead”
They are both blatant rip offs of Joseph Campbell’s Hero motiff. Nothing that touches Hollywood has been original for decades.
Piers Anthony and Isaac Asimov better stories than either, Harry Potter or Star Wars.
Professor whatevers os not as important as Yoda.
The creator forgot:
Stupid Annoying CGI Character- Dobby (HP), Jar Jar Binks (SW)
Fight against giant beast- Basilisk (HP), Rancor (SW)
The death of the wise teacher- Dumbledore (HP), Ben Kenobi (SW)
Realizing their potential for flying- Broomsticks (HP), X-Wings (SW)
Disgusting Blob- Dudley (HP), Jabba The Hutt (SW)
You think Dobby was stupid? You’re heartless.
i started off with star wars, and i like it alot
i watched all of harry potter, and i’m sorta meh about it
but when it comes down to it, i’d say harry potter is a better movie series
lol nope
really? star wars sure has a good plot, but it’s all done as in “let’s just do it” as in *get on space ship, destroy that thing, come over here, go over there, do this, do that, okay story over*
harry potter is more dramatic and has a more epic tone to it, and is more likely to have choir behind it because of how suspensful it is, plus it’s amazingly interesting how the story begins innocently and then turns into a real gut turner,
star wars just didn’t have that feel, if you know what i mean
at least that’s the way i see it
OK seriously. Star Wars is just done in a “lets just do it tone.” So if you were being oppressed for years by an entire EMPIRE and you had one chance to destroy something that DESTROYS ENTIRE PLANETS IN SECONDS, you wouldn’t be like “Holy Shh, really I can blow that thing and go home and live for the rest of my life without a Death Star looming in my solar system. LETS DO IT”
In Harry Potter the dark wizards, or whoev they are, weren’t actively trying to hunt down the whole world from day one and were the “Ultimate Power in the Universe.” They were the minority and most anybody didn’t know who they were.
So Star Wars goes from massive struggle the turns into a character struggle showing that the “real gut-turner” is that OMG they made another one and there are Sith all over the place. Which yes the Jedi knew, but the general public didn’t.
I’m sorry but a galactic struggle of good and evil along with a struggle of the force is more epic and gut-turning than a struggle of a few with magical powers.
Great. Picking between my two favorite series… Star Wars.
I just stepped on my cat.
^This.
“Bald Mini teacher” Really? Flitwick and Yoda? Thats the worst comparison ever. Yoda actually, yanno, HELPED Luke. What did Flitwick do for harry?
Well, if it weren’t for charms class and being introduced to summoning charms, Harry gets Toasted by a dragon in book 4… which would make the rest of the series moot, or make harry all burn scarred, just like vader.
plus i think he, snape, and mcgonnogal fight voldemort (i think it was him anyways) in hogwarts.
Comparing the two is entirely dumb. Completely different works. Now everyone is raging. I do agree with you post, The Crowing.
Excelent Meme, Y U No Let Me Like You on Facebook?
woahhhhh!! harry potter vs. starwars? thats a disgrace and disrespectful. Starwars is a classic.
I’m sure in forty years, Harry Potter will be considered classic too.
You spelled “Twilight” wrong.
I choose StarWars… StarWars is just awesome… Harry Potter is just….. …
Meh, I never got into harry potter. There are so many better books that were turned into movies…I think the target demographic is what made the harry potter stuff become a craze…
I wouldn’t call Lando token or Yoda a dippy professor, but otherwise, spot on.
i love potter u cannot control me Luke!
NO
All the Star Wars fan nerds are ragin’! Wish I could use the Killing Curse on them all, but that’d constitute as using magic in front of Muggles and I’d get a Ministry hearing! LoL who caers! Harry Potter all the way!
Where as using the Death Star to obliterate a planet full of Harry Potter nerds would take mere moments and be fully legal under the current regime.
*uses on CyphirX* STUPEFY!
*uses on THobsession* Blows you up with thought using the force.
as long as J. K. Rowling. doesnt pull a Lucas sellout then i’m fine with it.
I’d hesitate to call Lando a token black guy. He’s like, you know… a MAJOR character. Maybe you weren’t paying attention during TWO WHOLE MOVIES?
And Yoda is not a “bald, mini teacher”… More like the greatest Jedi Master ever?
HP is still way better than SW…
There are two black kids in Gyfindor one was the announcer at the quidag games. Just sayin
There’s also Blaise Zambini who was in Slytherin. He didn’t have such a big part in the books but made his way into the last movie as Draco’s sidekick as that other guy wasn’t coming back after the drug charges.
Harry Potter lost in reliable friend (You can’t beat Han Solo), bald mini teacher, Special Weapon, Robes, Move sh*t without touching it, and token black guy.
The hp chick is hot though.. Guys consider Leia to be hot though I dont know if its lack of female appereance in star wars films or just being cross-eyed.
In b4 pedobear comments, I meant hermoine in the last few films.
Star wars is better though. Even III and maybe II. I remember seeing ep I and thinking it was awesome… The horror when I watched it again… Especially Yoda who looked like a furby, ouch.
oh please luke didnt have sith lightning!!!!
Yes he did, read the books.
Im pretty sure Lukes dad is still alive during the movie…
At least the worst Harry Potter movie was a whole lot better than those three films no one likes to talk about….
snape vs vader anyone?
But Snape isn’t actually evil (although he does convey that impression). The only innocent person he kills in the series is Dumbledore, but Dumbledore would have been killed anyway, and by doing it himself he gets to infiltrate the bad guys.
On the other hand, Vader goes around killing people for very little reason. Even killing billions of innocent people (and their entire world) simply to inspire fear. He only has a change of heart at the very end.
Not a valid comparison.
Technically Vader was seduced by the Dark Side and the Emperor, and Vader’s real intention was to rule the galaxy keeping peace and order in his new Empire with Padme. But of course Anakin had this dream and becoming Vader he lost track of it all when Palpatine lied to him constantly and Anakin slowly lost all hopes of ever becoming the greatest Jedi, he was now the most powerful Sith Lord. So saying Vader is heartless isn’t very Valid to your point.
The ability to do magic is nothing compared to the power of the force.
Win
old deformed guy should have been palpatine not vader, then snape v vader would make even more sense
i love how everyones like “starwars came out first so i choose starwars”
Harry Potter is better. Case closed.
how dare you compare that movie to star wars! u should burn in hell!
I’m thinking Kingsley > Dean for HP token black guy.
One name.
Bem.
Harry Potter movies were nothing compared to the books.
Harry Potter>Star Wars
The only thing this points out are all the conventions of an epic hero. Harry Potter is closer to Lord of the Rings really.
Harry Potter Sucks
:iamdisappoint:
You spelt “Twilight” wrong.
win
Harry Potter books are almost as awesome as Star Wars movies, but the HP movies suck.
Harry Potter wins. Hands down. Star Wars is pretty popular, but this is the Harry Potter generation (which is NOT over D:<) and I personally think Harry Potter is just more creative. "Oh but they made up a huge galaxy in Star Wars blah blah blah…" I know, but it was so predictable throughout the whole thing, and in the Harry Potter books/movies I was actually surprised. Which I love because it isn't just all boring and the same.
It is over: I used to like that when I was 13 y-o. By the time the 6th book and 5th movie got out, it was already very much like “meh”
Plus, in my book, kids doing magic to fight grown ups that, oddly enough can’t be beat them, means kids movies. It doesn’t matter if the backgrounds are dark and if a few people die, it’s still something I’d stop being interested in before reaching 16 y-o
Harry is a chosen one, and all the “kids” are 17 by the end of the series. and other people aid them the whole way. Also, how much of it is really them fighting the dark army?
Mind=Blown
Mind: Blown
Snape dies, so does colin creevey, fred weasley, bellatrix, harry dies, bout then lives again.
neville kills nagini, the last horcrux.
oh yeah, voldemort dies too.
but* IIHIHIHIHIHIHI
EVERYONE SHUT UP. its opinion, i love both, HP is just more my time and genre. so i would pick them, its been there throught my childhood, first book when i was 4. Its all a matter of preference. As for the meme, great job, although the yoda/flitwick comparison is a little out there. But i suppose its the best one could do.
WRONG!
Anakin is the hero of the Star Wars saga.
Not Luke.
Darth Vader FTW
You shut up. Star Wars is King of the Geeks.
Not really relevant.
By your train of thought. I’m pretty sure the Shakespearean generation would think both SW and HP suck.
Stop living in the past! Both are great in their own way!
On facebook…
Harry Potter (movie)- 30 million likes
Star Wars (movie)- 5 million likes
FAIL
I bet you a Penny at least 50% of these haters of both sides don’t have an acceptable social life.
I was wondering why those two would be in a death battle, seen at the end of the vid, 2:17

u mad bros?
They are both examples of the monomyth
THE PLOT THICKENS!
Billy Dee is far more awesome than a “token black Guy”.
