You know what the world needs? Another Harry Potter vs. Twilight news post. Seriously, we don't have enough of these (dripping sarcasm ends here).

In yet another inexplicable comparison of the two franchises which share little more in common than that their respective authors both lack a Y-chromosome, E! Online has decided to pit Twilight's Jacob Black against Harry Potter's Ron Weasley. They've set up a poll to ask readers who they think is a better best friend--the werewolf who will 'imprint' on your baby, or the guy who will follow you into a den of giant spiders and murderous Death Eaters to help you save the world. Yeah, tough choice, I know. Go here to vote Team Ron!

While you're in the voting mood, the good people at Harry Potter Alliance have asked us to help get the word out that they are involved in the Chase Community Giving competition, and they need your help to win. In case you're unfamiliar, the Harry Potter Alliance is a charitable organization which has helped many great causes, including their Accio Books book drives and raising $123,000 in relief for Haiti. They've managed to do some amazing things with little funding, but if they get enough votes, they could win $250,000 to continue their great work helping others.

To vote, click here, press the green “Get started to vote” button, hit “Like," and then press “Vote now.” Encourage your friends and other fans to vote too! Thanks to Cheryl at HPA for letting us know about this competition.

And finally, a reminder that tonight begins ABC Family's Harry Potter Weekend with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. There are supposed to be new cast interviews and a Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows sneak peek during the broadcasts of all the films up to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on Sunday night (repeats Monday). Check your local listings or see ABC Family's schedule here.
