I was reading my bible this morning and came across this verse.

NLT Matthew 12:32 Anyone who speaks against the Son of Man can be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, either in this world or the world to come.

My question is, wouldn't that be about the same thing? If they are both 2 parts of the Trinity? What is the difference?
Would this be like what Jehovah's Witnesses do by saying the Holy Spirit is not a person but just "God's active force"?

i think your looking at it a bit wrong. Jesus did a wonder that was of the power of His Father, the pharisees said that power was not of the Father but of darkness / Satan. they profaned the Most High by attributing His work to Satan.
and IMO the pharisees were smart enough to know where the power came from and yet still falsely accused Jesus. there was no ignorance it was blatant.
