Team Bella or Team Hermione? Whose Side Are You On?
Bella is magnetic. Hermione is awkward. But fans of both the Twilight and Harry Potter series pick Hermione over Bella any day. Why?
“Some girls want to see themselves as Bella,” said Megan Schuyler, who’s been capturing the wizard rock scene in her documentary film “The Wizard Rockumentary.” “If you’re feeling clumsy and different, it’s fun to imagine that some dreamy perfect guy would be obsessed with you.” - MTV Movies Blog

I'd pick Hermione anyday as well, though I DO think Bella is a great character.

i think hermione is way beter. because she was here first! bella is still cool though.

I pick Hermione also. Not that i don't like Bella, definitively not, it's just that Hermione has more potentional and she helped me through a hard time. And Hermione is intullectual and emotional stronger and smarter as Bella.
Sorry Bells!
