'Harry Potter' Stars (Jokingly) Dis 'Twilight' While Speaking 'American'

It's almost time for hardcore "Harry Potter" fans to break out the costumes! The next-to-last flick in the wizard series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1" hits theaters Thursday at midnight.

Gear up for the big event by watching a funny new clip from MTV that shows stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and Tom Felton dropping their British accents to talk like they're from the United States. The four attempt to say very American phrases that we all, um, frequently toss around here, such as "Can I get an order of mozzarella sticks, please?" and "Justin Bieber is the man." At one point, they're even asked to -- gasp! -- dis "Twilight." Daniel apologized to his pal (and former "Harry Potter" cast member) RPattz before repeating it, and poor Emma was so surprised that she couldn't even utter the words.
Why Isn't There a 3-D Version of 'Potter?'
All of this is very entertaining, but it begs the question of which is the more beloved book-turned-movie franchise. My vote goes to "Harry Potter," mostly because I get nostalgic about having seen the kids grow up onscreen. Plus, Hogwarts Academy is so much more magical than Forks, Washington. But I know there are plenty of Twi-hards out there ready to cast a vote for the vampires ... and werewolf Taylor Lautner!
Does the New 'Harry Potter' Still Have Magic?
