Robert Pattinson's Twilight co-star Taylor Lautner weighs in on the Harry Potter franchise.

It's no secret that fan favorite adaptations vie for supremacy in terms of box office sales andRobert Pattinsonplayed roles in two major series. In 2008, he became the face of Edward Cullen, the marble angel love interest inTwilightand gained a following of devoted fans in those movies. Before then, we knew Pattinson as the dreamy and accomplished Hogwarts champion Cedric Diggory. Now, one of Pattinson'sTwilightco-stars is talking about his experience seeing his fictional rival in a different light.

What does Taylor Lautner think ofHarry Potter?

Reporting forCBR.com, Monica Coman recalls the 2000s, when "there was no bigger competition thanHarry Potterand Twilight...The fans, calling Twihards and Potterheads, respectively had embarked on a fierce mission to take the other down." Many fans have grown since the days of attacking those who love a different fandom and one actor is setting an excellent example.

We know that Cedric Diggory attended school while Defense Against the Dark Arts was being taught by a werewolf, but Robert Pattinson worked alongside an entirely different type of lycanthrope inTwilight.Taylor Lautner, who played his rival and eventual ally Jacob black, recently spoke on his podcastThe Squeezeabout his experience watching the entireHarry Potterfranchise for the first time. Taylor and his wife Tay shared "their commitment and difficulty in always finding something that interests both of them before settling on big franchises" for movie night. While Taylor had seen some parts of the series, he hadn't completed the viewing experience.

"We sat down, and each night we watched a different movie...It was a lot of fun." Tay "mentioned she had seen them many years ago and knew what the story and characters were about." Taylor himself had great words of appreciation for the series, saying that after watching the films, he "could honestly say that [he] would do that once a year." Amusingly, he made no mention of his thoughts on Robert Pattinson's short-lived career as Hufflepuff Seeker and Triwizard Tournament participant Cedric Diggory.

BothTwilightandHarry Potterhave planned reboots, with the Harry Potter series being turned into a television program on HBO's streaming services. It will be fun to see if Lautner's newfound enthusiasm for theHarry Potterseries will lead him to watch the project when it comes in 2026. And we're curious to know if Pattinson is aware of his colleague's new interest in the second film he ever acted in.
