The Potter - Homer war is heating up particularly in the U.S. 70% of Americans, in a survey created by Facebook's application partner http://www.betsgowild.com, prefer Homer and the Simpsons over Harry and his schoolmates. 30% of the voters, however, remain loyal to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which was released for the big screen prior to "The Simpsons Movie".
