It's weird that anyone would defend Harry Potter based on the films. The first two were terrible, the third is quite good, didn't see four or five, the sixth was decent.
But HP is all about the books, and the early books were great children's books. It's interesting to see how the tone and subject matter completely change of the course of the series, but I think the quality of the story telling remained for the most part.
The biggest problem with how the books transformed was that her world was designed to be whimsical and quirky, and when it needs to be dark the gaps in logic are suddenly glaring.
Anyway, I haven't read Twilight but I'm willing to bet that it will be dead and buried long before people forget about Harry Potter.
