Have you ever felt like you were betraying your favorite artist by actually enjoying their competition, for example M.C. Hammer v. Vanilla Ice, or N*SYNC v. Backstreet Boys. It feels like you're helping the other team win (more money), or gain more popularity. You can't like both. Well that's how I felt after I read the Twilight series in a weekend. (Yeah, I actually read Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse during President's Day weekend, and stayed up until 5:30 am Monday morning reading Eclipse, and slept for 2 hours, and only ate a pickle and a slice of Grandma Sycamore's Bread.) I felt like I was betraying Harry Potter by enjoying Twilight (only the parts with Edward), but that wasn't the case.
So, I've come to the conclusion that you can like both, and I do for different reasons. It's not a case of being torn between "two masters," but supporting the starving artists. All I have to say is that Breaking Dawn better have Edward in it.

I SO agree with you. I felt the same way. I love both, but for different reasons. I still think that my love of Twilight may wane, but never Harry Potter.
