@@karthikayanedathodathu1337 i think that in the books it’s explained that Dumbledore sent Harry back with the Dursleys cuz he had to be with a blood relative to be protected until he goes to hogwarts, I’m not sure, but maybe that’s what he meant
I love how no one notices the reason both Harry and Percy were stuck living with terrible people were basically the same, for protection. For Harry it was the blood protection from Lily and for Percy it was Gabe’s stench masking his scent

I actually really love the Percy Jackson series more than Harry Potter ( a feat I didn’t originally think was possible) but I think the reason I ended up loving it more was going forward into the Heroes of Olympus series there was so much focus on other characters, fleshing out the world so much deeper and giving other characters their story as well and having a point where Percy actually has to learn that he can’t protect and save everyone, his fatal flaw being excessive loyalty to the point where he would let the world fall to save a friend. I’ve never before seen a series where the main hero has to learn that they have to step back and not be the main hero. It’s always about how they need to step up, take the burden to shield everyone else, and with Percy, he had his times of stepping up to shield because that’s his nature, his fatal flaw actually, but in the end the last time we really saw him, he had to learn to allow the other heroes to step up and take the risks they were fated to take instead of rushing in and taking all the danger on himself to protect them.
Yeah I think he learned a good chunk of why he should step down after the whole Tartarus incident because his fatal flaw is what literally made him fall in with Annabeth unable to let go of her, he jumped to her side but couldn’t save her or himself in the process
@@greglynas52 yup. And with Rick writing another Percy centric story, I’ll be honest I think I’m the only person hoping that he will write Percy and Annabeth a true tragic Greek hero death. I mean we can still do a happy ending, their souls arrive in the underworld where they’re both informed that they’ve actually chosen to be reborn in the past and have successfully completed their 3rd heroes death worthy of Elysium and are rewarded by an eternity together in the Isles of the Blest. There could be a flashback to show that they knew each other in all of their past lives, died together in all their past lives, and chose to be reborn together each time, telling each other before rebirth that they promised to find each other. I think it would be the perfect final end to their story.
@@victoriapear647 If you read both books you will see that its not. They each have their own storylines and great aspects. Don't talk about stuff you don't know about

I love how you showed the Harry Potter movies and no the Percy Jackson movies. Instead u used the comic book thingy. You have forever earned my respect.
One thing I find really cool about Percy Jackson: it isn’t just inclusive of race, religion and identity, Uncle Rick also makes the effort to add in small things like Jason needing glasses, and Magnus being left-handed. As someone who wears glasses, and has experienced a bit of discrimination for being a leftie before, I really appreciate it. I know it’s not as big a thing as maybe the LGBTQ community, but it still feels nice
the glasses thing! not so much discrimination for that but it's so rare to have a person w glasses that isn't a nerdy tech geek or whatever and is just... a guy. an athletic guy at that. basically unheard of. usually glasses are used as writer shorthand and are not treated as an actual assistive device. Haven't read Magnus Chase but that's also pretty cool!
I wish there weren't so many people like you. Thinking something is better because it portrays different people in it doesn't make it better than works of art that do not do that 😒 You guys are pretty weird, It's like you want stories to be zoos where you can watch all the different animals for your morbid pleasure
Hopefully he’ll read the Heroes of Olympus and Trials of Apollo series so that he can do more “the Life of...” videos. Also I highly recommend Magnus Chase and the Kane Chronicles.
Magnus chase is a little bit more interesting than Kane Chronicles no offense to anyone who likes it.and I have not even read Hero’s of Olympus yet or Trials of Apollo (please don’t roast me)
I wept at age eleven My letter wasn’t there Been waiting since age seven No hogwarts letter how unfair Been waiting for a satyr To take me to camp Never was claimed I think I might just crack These are not just worlds That are made of fantasy These are the things That make us you and me
Which funny cause Columbus was same person who direct the first two Harry Potter movies but screwed up Percy Jackson movies. He put so much understanding with Harry Potter but barely any with Percy. I don’t really understand how that happened. Maybe he’s out of his prime.
Another Similarity: in the Second installment of each series, the safe haven of the main characters are threatened... Percy Jackson its the poisoning of Thalia's Tree, in Harry Potter it is the Chamber of Secrets being opened.
I saw Snape as more compared to Dionysus. Both stuck in a position they clearly don't want. Both take out their obvious frustrations on their students. Both have a habit of making liquids that disappoint them vanish. Both have threatened the main character on numerous occasions. Both hate the main character because of their fathers.
He COULD also be compared to Hades. I think Dionysus is just way more apathetic, while Hades, having a life of misery, would compare more to Snape. Hades and Snape both were hated and misunderstood, both took out their frustrations on whoever walked by, and Hades and Snape also both hated the main character because of their fathers.
@@oscarj_1082 I love the House of Hades, because Leo meets Calypso, and also Percabeth in Tartarus. Plus, this is when Jason and Nico meet Cupid, I think.
but I thought JK Rowling just constructed a completely new history for that series? I think Percy Jackson was great because Rick studied (or already knew about) Greek mythology.
All I can say is. I am eternally grateful that Uncle Rick decided to go on with the stories and that allowed us to grow up with Harry and Percy as heroes and role modes to look up to we had them and the same time Katniss and Tris and just the way we grew up as a generation was amazing we became this force to be reckoned with thanks to these amazing stories I will always be so glad to have grown up an outsider/outcast book nerd because we are the ones leading people into battle now because we were empowered by these amazing and inspirational characters.
What I love most about Rick Riordan is how he was able to create a lot more books that somehow simultaneously stand on its own as a series and pays homage to the original PJO characters wheter in cameos or spin-offs. I also love how he also used his influence to help other writers to be put into the scene (with mythology based books) with Riordan Presents (I absolutely love Aru Shah, unfortunately I only have until book 2 since my local bookstore has not yet restock since the pandemic).
This was the conversation between Zoë Nightshade and Percy Jackson when he protested to go save Annabeth and Artemis along with everyone but there was no place left for him in the group. Zoë tells Percy that she would never travel with boys. To this Percy asked why she was taking Grover then. Then Zoë replies that Grover is not a boy but a satyr.
For me as a Greek person Percy Jackson appealed more to me though I love both series. I really loved greek mythology as a kid and while reading percy jackson it kept reminding me of all the greek myths that I loved hearing and reading back in elementary school. It just keeps giving me nostaligia whenever I read the books. I am super excited for the Disney+ adaption series , wanna see my boy Nico on screen.
Also in Heroes of Olympus Frank says that he always thought that basilisks were huge serpents that can turn you to stone So frank is a Potter head Oh also it is a common point between Harry Potter and percy Jackson i guess
No, JK Rowling didn’t come up with EVERYTHING in the series. Some examples are, Basilisks, hippogriffs, etc. These creatures are from Mythology. So, Frank is not a Potterhead. Just a Mythology nerd.
@@who_is_thisbussy A big part of Harry Potter is based in Greek mythology (I don't have to say it about percy Jackson it's obvious), so it's expected the two series of books to have a lot in common. I said it because it is a meme
@@who_is_thisbussy that happens at other books too. For example magnus chase has a lot in common with lord of the rings because they are both based on Norse mythology. Just another mythological nerd 😁
I love both series but I gotta say I love Percy Jackson’s universe more, especially cause you can read about other people in the universe like the kanes, magnus, jason, Apollo
Things you missed: - both are half bloods - both were called a "little celebrity" (by Snape and Dionysus) - percy staying with gabe and Harry staying with the dursleys was to keep them safe
Harry is not a half blood. Lily and James literally magical people who attended hogwarts. Heck if it wasn’t for the love protection spell Which LILy CASTED HERSElF, He would have died the day he was born.
@@justaguywhowatchesyoutube5588 Harry is half blood, his mother (Lily) was muggle-born, so Harry has muggle blood in his genetics, making him half blood
Harry was a half-blood wizard. His father was a pureblood, but his mother was a muggleborn, her entire family was non-magical. That makes Harry not a pureblood, but a half-blood instead
I know one thing percy Jackson did amazingly the LGBT rep also uncle Rick being amazing also I hear a lot of people comparing harry and percy together but to me percy is a better character
Love both series, but I felt like Harry was more of a vessel through which we experience the story, while Percy’s perspective actually added to the story. I mean, the story will definitely feel different if it was told by someone other than Percy. And tbh, I would much rather hang out with Percy than with harry
YES! like Harry is this like perfect protaginist except for lile a few slip ups, while percy is litterally a sarcastic 12 year old who has been kicked out of like 7 schools
Wow, its amazing to see how far you have come. I remember watching you around last year and loved watching your harry potter and hunger games book analysis, and today I saw this video on my home page. Great job on the video, i didn't know there could be so many similarities, and i definetley noticed some too. Keep up the good work !
@@leafyeaveeey OH my gods, same. I thought I was the only one... Even though I agree Percy Jackson is the better series, HOO will always be my fav out of Uncle Rick's Mythology serieses. I think it's because I liked reading the different POV's of different, interesting characters. ESPECIALLY Nico's
That's actually very accurate! However, while it took Harry Potter 7 Books to tell the whole story, it took Percy Jackson only 5 books to tell the whole story. However, the final Percy Jackson book leaves a huge opening for a follow up series of another 5 books. These give the fans more books to enjoy! Also, Harry uses his invisibility cloak to hide himself and the mist grants the Demigods the ability to hide their magic from mortals. It also hides the monsters.
I grew up reading Percy Jackson and my older sister grew up reading Harry Potter. Finally getting around to reading Harry Potter but the Percy Jackson books are still some of my favorites.
One thing different in these two series are the centaurs. In the Percy Jackson series, they are chill bois whereas the Harry Potter centaurs are proud and get easily offended.
You are absolutely correct....All points are right especially the one about Ron being Grover , Harry being Percy and Hermione being Annabeth..Can you please do the differences ?

I read both of the books and I saw a lot of similarities But you missed Hagrid and Tyson Both are half giants/Cyclopes “around the area of big magical creatures” They have a special relationship with the main character, both considered to be dangerous because of their blood but have big caring hearts and love animals
@@rochellevalenzuela4204 Yes the Peter Johnson movies are awful, I was sadly forced to watch, and it was worser than tartarus. -Also a percy jackson fan
This video really made me surprised and I really appreciate it. Thanks Movieflame. I love both book series and this video made me really shocked at their similarities.
I've always wondered, the similarities between them! Because every time i re-read both series, I'd find little details that connected them! Thanks for this Morgan!!
WOW!! It was amazing! I love how you showed the differences of the two books that basically helped my childhood shine!! the way you did, didn't insult either amazing!!
I just started reading Percy Jackson last week so I would love more videos about that series and more of my favorite book and movie of all time Harry Potter.
This has been my favorite video to rewatch as someone who enjoys writing himself. This inspired me to write a story with these similar keys points in them.
@@DragonFGCdb that’s true but they pretty much all have the same plot Demigods go to Hogwarts and they have to hide the fact that they are demigods and Harry and his friends get suspicious because they think that they are working for Lord Voldemort and so Harry and his friends force Percy and any other demigods to tell them the truth and usually and not a very nice way either I want something new I want something fresh and more importantly I want J.K. Rowling and Rick Riordan to think of something together that would be new and interesting and have the demigods and wizards work together
You know, after watching your videos and getting acquainted to the Percy Jackson series, I was already picking up on similarities between Harry Potter and Percy Jackson: Both are kind children introduced into a world of magic and myth in their preteen years. (Harry and Percy) Both grow up throughout the series. (11-17 and 12-16) Both have a timid yet loyal male sidekick, and an intelligent female sidekick. (Ron & Hermione and Grover & Annabeth) Both rival a blonde-haired teenager throughout the series who serve as a conduit for the dark lord. (Draco Malfoy and Luke Castellan) Both have an enemy who disguises as teachers (Barty Crouch Jr. as Professor Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody and a Fury as Mrs. Dodds) Both series are part of a bigger media franchise (The Wizarding World and the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles) The list goes on. I've just listed some obvious ones.
Both books actually represent the heroes journey model. It’s a 12 step journey that authors model their books after. You should search it up Crash course has a great video on it. That’s why they are similar
The Harry potter books: amazing, interesting, dark, filled with great characters and creatures. The Percy Jackson books: pretty much the same The Harry potter movies: one of the best book to movie adaptations of all time. The Percy Jackson movies: **ERROR**
I loved your channel! I started by watching for Harry Potter. I fell out of Harry Potter, so I did with you too. I’m a huge Riordanverse fan, and I’m so glad SOMEONE is giving this series justice!
Also, another thing I liked about PJO that HP didn't have is the redemption arcs Riordan has. They are such a better pay off because it does it in a way that NO character is black or white, but simply gray, wich is something that it always struck me as naive from HP, and to quote sirius "the world isn't split into good people or death eaters" and juxtaposing Percy over Harry is a perfect way to see that while Percy understood this in the end, it took Harry a very long time to get there.
It's the journey of the hero with each story digging into their own unique lores and creatively making it have their own identities. This is why the stories are very similar, but at their core, they have enough merit to be their own stories. Otherwise the publishers of Percy Jackson would have just denied the publication and called it a Harry Potter knock off lol.

the glasses thing! not so much discrimination for that but it's so rare to have a person w glasses that isn't a nerdy tech geek or whatever and is just... a guy. an athletic guy at that. basically unheard of. usually glasses are used as writer shorthand and are not treated as an actual assistive device. Haven't read Magnus Chase but that's also pretty cool!
Harry wears glasses and Dumbledore is literally gay.

One difference is that the Harry Potter movies are really good compared to the Percy Jackson movies, the Percy Jackson movies are god awful.
@Catalino Books are the best. Movies are straight trash
*gods
Which funny cause Columbus was same person who direct the first two Harry Potter movies but screwed up Percy Jackson movies. He put so much understanding with Harry Potter but barely any with Percy. I don’t really understand how that happened. Maybe he’s out of his prime.
I love how you are all talking about movies that don’t exist
@@bengi8907, it’s because he didn’t care for Percy Jackson so he didn’t put much passion and thought into it compared with Harry Potter
Another Similarity: in the Second installment of each series, the safe haven of the main characters are threatened... Percy Jackson its the poisoning of Thalia's Tree, in Harry Potter it is the Chamber of Secrets being opened.
Same with the forth books. The villains return. Voldemort in the end of triwizard tournament and Kronos in deadalus labyrinth
Also the middle book (titans curse and goblet of fire) is the first book with character death in it
@@laraschepp9840 in philosopher's stone there was already someone died
I forgot to mention that I meant characters from the good side or friends of the main characters
@@laraschepp9840 Actually in the first book Percys mom killed his stepfather
I saw Snape as more compared to Dionysus. Both stuck in a position they clearly don't want. Both take out their obvious frustrations on their students. Both have a habit of making liquids that disappoint them vanish. Both have threatened the main character on numerous occasions. Both hate the main character because of their fathers.
He COULD also be compared to Hades. I think Dionysus is just way more apathetic, while Hades, having a life of misery, would compare more to Snape. Hades and Snape both were hated and misunderstood, both took out their frustrations on whoever walked by, and Hades and Snape also both hated the main character because of their fathers.
Clarisse isn't actually bad shes a badass and Draco straight up just becomes a death eater. Clarisse is a WAY better person
you do realize that the Percy Jackson series is one of five by rick riordan, right? Heros of Olympus and The Trails Of Apollo are sequels.
I love HoO like the house of Hades
Aswell as Magnus Chase
@@vaani14 house of hades is such a good book. It has to be my favorite of the HoO series but sun of Neptune is a close second
there is also Magnus chase and Kane chronicles
@@oscarj_1082 I love the House of Hades, because Leo meets Calypso, and also Percabeth in Tartarus. Plus, this is when Jason and Nico meet Cupid, I think.

Both source mythology that predates them. If anything Percy Jackson has more credibility because it is a retelling of old myths.
but I thought JK Rowling just constructed a completely new history for that series? I think Percy Jackson was great because Rick studied (or already knew about) Greek mythology.
@@kamiko891 I mean story beats sure bu Harry follows a lot of combined elements of old myths.
All I can say is. I am eternally grateful that Uncle Rick decided to go on with the stories and that allowed us to grow up with Harry and Percy as heroes and role modes to look up to we had them and the same time Katniss and Tris and just the way we grew up as a generation was amazing we became this force to be reckoned with thanks to these amazing stories I will always be so glad to have grown up an outsider/outcast book nerd because we are the ones leading people into battle now because we were empowered by these amazing and inspirational characters.
What I love most about Rick Riordan is how he was able to create a lot more books that somehow simultaneously stand on its own as a series and pays homage to the original PJO characters wheter in cameos or spin-offs. I also love how he also used his influence to help other writers to be put into the scene (with mythology based books) with Riordan Presents (I absolutely love Aru Shah, unfortunately I only have until book 2 since my local bookstore has not yet restock since the pandemic).

"he is a satyr. he is not technically a boy."
"hey" grover protested
*Grover simping on those who forswear love*
Me: No wonder he has no confidence; he went straight to the hardest bosses of the game.
This was the conversation between Zoë Nightshade and Percy Jackson when he protested to go save Annabeth and Artemis along with everyone but there was no place left for him in the group. Zoë tells Percy that she would never travel with boys. To this Percy asked why she was taking Grover then. Then Zoë replies that Grover is not a boy but a satyr.

For me as a Greek person Percy Jackson appealed more to me though I love both series.

It just keeps giving me nostaligia whenever I read the books. I am super excited for the Disney+ adaption series , wanna see my boy Nico on screen.

Also in Heroes of Olympus Frank says that he always thought that basilisks were huge serpents that can turn you to stone
So frank is a Potter head
Oh also it is a common point between Harry Potter and percy Jackson i guess
Lol exactly what i thought as reading it!
No, JK Rowling didn’t come up with EVERYTHING in the series. Some examples are, Basilisks, hippogriffs, etc. These creatures are from Mythology. So, Frank is not a Potterhead. Just a Mythology nerd.
@@who_is_thisbussy A big part of Harry Potter is based in Greek mythology (I don't have to say it about percy Jackson it's obvious), so it's expected the two series of books to have a lot in common. I said it because it is a meme
@@who_is_thisbussy that happens at other books too. For example magnus chase has a lot in common with lord of the rings because they are both based on Norse mythology. Just another mythological nerd 😁
Not to be rude, but looking into a Basilisk’s eye doesn’t turn you to stone, it straight up kills you-
I love both series but I gotta say I love Percy Jackson’s universe more, especially cause you can read about other people in the universe like the kanes, magnus, jason, Apollo
Things you missed:
- both are half bloods
- both were called a "little celebrity" (by Snape and Dionysus)
- percy staying with gabe and Harry staying with the dursleys was to keep them safe
Harry is not a half blood. Lily and James literally magical people who attended hogwarts. Heck if it wasn’t for the love protection spell Which LILy CASTED HERSElF, He would have died the day he was born.
@@justaguywhowatchesyoutube5588
Harry is half blood, his mother (Lily) was muggle-born, so Harry has muggle blood in his genetics, making him half blood
Harry was a half-blood wizard. His father was a pureblood, but his mother was a muggleborn, her entire family was non-magical. That makes Harry not a pureblood, but a half-blood instead
@@justaguywhowatchesyoutube5588Lol i love when the ppl that dont read harry potter talk. He's a half blood kid.

Facts.
I was honestly shocked with the amount of similarities between these two series. I had noticed a few while reading them but not that many.
"They both have dark hair and green eyes "- Movieflame, 2020
They are so similar yet so different!!
not so different, this term is like mostly used for 180 degree
I know one thing percy Jackson did amazingly the LGBT rep also uncle Rick being amazing also I hear a lot of people comparing harry and percy together but to me percy is a better character
Definitely. The lgbt characters are so well done and harry is a fine protagonist but percy is on s+ tier
Yes
Love both series, but I felt like Harry was more of a vessel through which we experience the story, while Percy’s perspective actually added to the story. I mean, the story will definitely feel different if it was told by someone other than Percy. And tbh, I would much rather hang out with Percy than with harry
@@august1837 and stare a Jason muscles
YES! like Harry is this like perfect protaginist except for lile a few slip ups, while percy is litterally a sarcastic 12 year old who has been kicked out of like 7 schools
I love your videos! Thank you for covering these books and movies so throughly.
Wow, its amazing to see how far you have come. I remember watching you around last year and loved watching your harry potter and hunger games book analysis, and today I saw this video on my home page. Great job on the video, i didn't know there could be so many similarities, and i definetley noticed some too. Keep up the good work !

@@leafyeaveeey OH my gods, same. I thought I was the only one... Even though I agree Percy Jackson is the better series, HOO will always be my fav out of Uncle Rick's Mythology serieses. I think it's because I liked reading the different POV's of different, interesting characters. ESPECIALLY Nico's
@@kit_that_guy Lucky... I just recently bought the Burning Maze, can't find the next two books of TOA...
That's actually very accurate! However, while it took Harry Potter 7 Books to tell the whole story, it took Percy Jackson only 5 books to tell the whole story. However, the final Percy Jackson book leaves a huge opening for a follow up series of another 5 books. These give the fans more books to enjoy! Also, Harry uses his invisibility cloak to hide himself and the mist grants the Demigods the ability to hide their magic from mortals. It also hides the monsters.
Theres more than 15 books about that serie i have them all but sadly last books arent about percy
my fav youtuber doing both of my fav series? DIS IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
I grew up reading Percy Jackson and my older sister grew up reading Harry Potter. Finally getting around to reading Harry Potter but the Percy Jackson books are still some of my favorites.
I’m in a strange place in that I read Percy Jackson before Harry Potter. I love Harry Potter more, but I still really like Percy Jackson.
Me too! I used to think that Harry Potter was dumb until I read them. I love then both equally tho
I love percy jackson more, but harry potter was also super cool
Same i too read Percy Jackson first and then Harry Potter i love them equally
I LOVE Percy Jackson more ,but the Harry Potter books are amazing too!
They're both amazing. They're both known for reasons. I think I like Harry Potter better.
One thing different in these two series are the centaurs. In the Percy Jackson series, they are chill bois whereas the Harry Potter centaurs are proud and get easily offended.
You are absolutely correct....All points are right especially the one about Ron being Grover , Harry being Percy and Hermione being Annabeth..Can you please do the differences ?

Rowling and Rick Riordan to think of something together that would be new and interesting and have the demigods and wizards work together
Pls do a 'the life of Percy Jackson' for those who haven't read the books. (I have obviously) but a few of my friends haven't.
Great idea!Lets do a Life of Percy Jackson
You know, after watching your videos and getting acquainted to the Percy Jackson series, I was already picking up on similarities between Harry Potter and Percy Jackson:
Both are kind children introduced into a world of magic and myth in their preteen years. (Harry and Percy)
Both grow up throughout the series. (11-17 and 12-16)
Both have a timid yet loyal male sidekick, and an intelligent female sidekick. (Ron & Hermione and Grover & Annabeth)
Both rival a blonde-haired teenager throughout the series who serve as a conduit for the dark lord. (Draco Malfoy and Luke Castellan)
Both have an enemy who disguises as teachers (Barty Crouch Jr. as Professor Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody and a Fury as Mrs. Dodds)
Both series are part of a bigger media franchise (The Wizarding World and the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles)
The list goes on. I've just listed some obvious ones.
Both books actually represent the heroes journey model. It’s a 12 step journey that authors model their books after. You should search it up Crash course has a great video on it. That’s why they are similar
If only the movies were represented as well as the Harry potter one's
I love both percy Jackson and harry potter
The Harry potter books: amazing, interesting, dark, filled with great characters and creatures.
The Percy Jackson books: pretty much the same
The Harry potter movies: one of the best book to movie adaptations of all time.
The Percy Jackson movies: **ERROR**
That's why percy Jackson didn't get this fame than harry potter
I prefer they should release PJ movies as well
@@vaheedamidlaj3294 this is why Percy Jackson isn't that famous
Compared to hp, pjo has less fame....but if u see it....pjo has enough fans and fame just by the BOOKS. The error movies couldn't dampen the books
@@vaheedamidlaj3294 At least they are doing round two with films.
HP movies are only great adaptations for the first two books, but the rest are terribly mediocre. Only a TV series would suit HP better.
Something i think is a similarity but might not be

I loved the crap out of both series of books. Amazed at the similarities you noticed, but it doesn't take away from either, still love them both!!!

Man I love your videos
this video is amazing. I personally read the heroes of olympus series 5 times each book and i like this kind of video a lot. tysm
I love Harry Potter more over the years but before I read or heard of Harry Potter I loved Percy Jackson
Same but the opposite- I loved Percy Jackson more over time
@@fabled2448 yea I see someone others and why they like Percy Jackson more
There is genuine reason behind it, HP was centered more towards all ages as it went on, PJ has always been aimed for at children
I loved your channel! I started by watching for Harry Potter. I fell out of Harry Potter, so I did with you too. I’m a huge Riordanverse fan, and I’m so glad SOMEONE is giving this series justice!
Also, another thing I liked about PJO that HP didn't have is the redemption arcs Riordan has. They are such a better pay off because it does it in a way that NO character is black or white, but simply gray, wich is something that it always struck me as naive from HP, and to quote sirius "the world isn't split into good people or death eaters" and juxtaposing Percy over Harry is a perfect way to see that while Percy understood this in the end, it took Harry a very long time to get there.
The difference between the trios is that Percy ends up with the "know it all" while Harry doesn't
Ya Annabeth is lit a daughter of Athena
Because the HP and PjO trips are different in terms of relationship dynamics.
Annabeth is a daughter of Athena. Hermione is a nerd.
It's the journey of the hero with each story digging into their own unique lores and creatively making it have their own identities. This is why the stories are very similar, but at their core, they have enough merit to be their own stories.
Otherwise the publishers of Percy Jackson would have just denied the publication and called it a Harry Potter knock off lol.
