Again, after a Question is raised anybody is bound to think about it.
As far as I've observed, out of hundreds of tweets many seemed to have voted for Harry Potter.
But then, I might have missed observing many tweets.
It's like when you want to buy clothes, all of a sudden you'll find cloth stores everywhere. Otherwise while walking on that street everyday you might not have observed those shops ever, they even exist.
Well then why do I like Harry Potter?
Harry Potter is a story of some supernatural power. Yet he is not a sole super hero. He's just one among every other in his society. He's a simple boy like most others. Yet he is famous.
We tend to relate with him instantly. Then he goes to school, he studies, he writes exams, he gets punished. He lives in a Hostel with fellow students. He travels by train. He's just like us, we can relate to him.
Harry Potter's world is just similar to that of ours. There is a school, there are teachers, there are friends, there are rivals at school, there are sports, there are competitions. There's a Ministry, which works all most like our Governments. There's media, which also works like our media. That makes the life in Harry Potter familier.
Perhaps this made most of Harry Potter fans love Harry Potter.
Narnia is a pure fantasy, a beautiful story. We watch it and enjoy it.
Harry Potter is like Gulliver Travels, a complete satire on our present society. Harry Potter touches our lives. It's a great epic of modern literature.
I conclude, you can't compare two different things, while Harry Potter is liked for:
a) Ms J.K.Rowling's brilliance and
b) Warner Brothers' efforts in making that world real for us and
c) not to forget making Harry Potter and his friends grow in front of our eyes.

On Twitter Discussion ... Why do someone likes or not likes a movie?
After a Question is raised anybody is bound to think about it.
Now I tried to analyze myself.
Did I like Narnia? Yes, of course.
I liked Narnia, I've enjoyed the first two movies, but I didn't bother to go to the theatre and watch any of them. I've enjoyed them when they were aired on TV, but Harry Potter drags me to the theatre.
What other movies did I like?
There are many I might have enjoyed watching. Today everyday, while surfing the TV Channels, you are bound to watch some movie or the other, and you might like a few.
I liked Princess Diaries, I liked Alice in the wonderland, I've enjoyed watching Narnia and High School Musical and perhaps many more, each for a different reason.
Why can't we like a certain movie?
I confess, I didn't enjoy Lord of the Rings. But nobody can exclaim and question "How come you didn't enjoy 'Lord of the Rings'?" May be I can't explain but I just didn't like it.
Liking or enjoying or just watching or reading or not liking a movie or a novel or a TV program can't be explained everytime and I think need not be either.
So to the Twitter Question "Narnia/Harry Potter?" My vote is to Harry Potter.

HarryPotter or Narnia? A discussion on Twitter
A new discussion is going on on twitter.com about Narnia/Harry Potter. People are debating on which is the best, which should be liked.
Some were of the opinion that they like both and can't exactly choose, while others clearly were divided in support to either of the series.
Here and there were tweets voting for 'Lord of the Rings', 'High School Musical'; which I feel wasn't relevant at all, but just showed their liking for those other movies.
Well coming back to the discussion:
I wonder who started the debate and why. Two different movies, could anyway be viewed independantly, without any need to compare. And apparently when questioned people are bound to differ. I may like Harry Potter the other may like Narnia somebody else shall like High School Musical and yet another Lord of the Rings.
Now, why not Alice in the Wonderland? The list of movies can go on and on and on. So also, when billions of people are living on this earth, likes and preferences are bound to be different.
Perhaps we all know the answer to the question raised:
Q. Narnia/Harry Potter? Which one do U like more?
Answers can only be
a) Harry Potter,
b) Narnia,
c) Both the series and
d) None of the two.
Then why should we ask at all? "Narnia/Harry Potter? Which one do U like more?"
