I feel that Percy Jackson is much better than Harry P0tter. Harry P0tter has themes which can be considered quite controversial, considering most people label it as a "family-oriented" book. Percy Jackson, in my opinion is a perfect blend of modern and ancient themes and I enjoyed the first series.
However, as Rick Riordan moved to Roman Mythology and Egyptian Mythology, I simply don't feel that distinct writing style he had in the beginning. A pity.

Darn it, didn't know Harry P0tter was blocked by censors. Gotta love the studios which own the rights to the film.

The first Percy Jackson movie was just a watered-down version of the story of Perseus in a modern setting with a kid as the protagonist. I prefer the original.

@above; I hope by that you mean the books and not the movie.

@thread; I'm actually quite surprised that they are actually releasing Sea of Monsters, seeing as how almost everyone hated the first movie, but I'm hoping they can redeem themselves.

The first movie was a disaster but the Sea of monsters looks much better. I'm glad they chose older actors to play Percy, Annabeth, etc. A 13 years old kid fighting monsters is not really credible...

And I think Harry P0tter and Percy Jackson are way too different to be compared.

"And I think Harry P0tter and Percy Jackson are way too different to be compared."

Harry p0tter- School for kids with special powers and abilities hidden from the world

Percy Jackson- Camp for kids with special powers and the abilities hidden from the world

Harry p0tter back story- Orphan from when he can remember and his family miss treats him badly

Jackson- Lives with his mom and has a stepdad that treats him badly

Plots harry p0tter- go around completing quests to save mankind and wizard kind.

Jackson- Go around fighting beasts to save mankind and demigods.

How are they in any way different?

True xD But what you just described are the basics of almost every fantasy novels, and not every fantasy novels can be compared.

I don't know if you heard about these books, A.N.G.E. written by Anne Robillard (she is a French Canadian just like me so I read books in French) but the hero of the story is an adult, she has no superpower so she doesn't need to learn how to control them, her parents are both alive and she knows them, they have nothing special, etc. The only similar thing with HP or Percy Jackson is that she has to help to save the world. You could compare A.N.G.E to these two other books but you wouldn't find any similarities except that.

Sorry but saving the world is like comparing the world to the world.

Anyways I'm not excited with all these sequels and this just proves one thing.

MARIO AND LESLIE GET YOUR BUTS TO HOLLYWOOD AND START MAKING AWESOME MOVIES THAT I WILL WATCH!!!

there is no way this will be good compared to the books

the first one left out pretty crucial stuff

and added in stuff that wasn't supposed to be there

like

why was the hydra in the first one

never happened in the first book

neither did the fight with Luke

at the end of the first book Luke makes a scorpion attack Percy and that's how we find out he's the bad guy

and in the commercial for the second movie

I saw the manticore

which is supposed to be in the third

not the second

if you pretend it has no affiliation with the books then it's kind of okay

other than that it's terrible

You're just watering them down. We can water any film/book down, compare it to another and make them look similar.

Alright tell me how their different then?

See this is why I don't go on book threads there is always these pesky little one way minded kind of people that would rather kill themselves instead of accepting that their favourite book might not be the best in the world.

You're the one who brought forward the argument with a rather ignorant opinion

"Percy Jackson is a harry p0tter rip off hahahahahahah lloolololoolo horror slasher genre muahahahahah killing blood gore hahahahahah"

It's amazing how you could call me "pesky little one-way minded" when all I did was respond to your statement each time.

First things first, Harry p0tter is a wizard who's parents were killed by a evil wizard, famous in the wizard world for his crimes. Harry p0tter is taken to Hogwarts where he learns much about the wizarding world and works against threats against himself and usually inside hogwarts. One of his inspirations to fight against these evils is that his parents were killed by the one responsible.

Percy Jackson is the son of the god, Poseidon who fell in love with a mortal. He is taken to camp when he is attacked by a monster. He is taken to camp where he learns he is part of a prophecy which he cannot excape from. He takes part in quests where has to travel through different parts of the world and fight against an uprising by a crushed god.

Forgive me if I sound a bit vague, I haven't read the two books for a few years.

Look you can put it anyway you like, I didn't refer to you alone being one way minded but you started defending this book like it was a master piece.

And as I said they may be different in some ways but their bases are the same, which makes them both unoriginal.

And I don't only come from the horror genre I vastly see things in lots of ways.

I personally don't like many series because instead of making one story they tend to make hundreds of them, in this way gaining a lot more money.

If you like the series fine I just pointed out some obviouse similarities which percy and HP both have in common.

And the reason why I hate people who are obssesed with a series, is that they can only see one way into it, and will refuse to look at it in another way.

You started saying it was just another ripoff, just a piece of garbage.

Almost every movie can be considered "unoriginal" then.

You said it's another "ripoff", then you said you don't like Harry p0tter. "Ripoff" isn't a good word used to describe a book.

I'm not obsessed. I just dislike arrogant people who throw their weight around everywhere and then hate people who speak against it.

Great way to ignore a whole argument. If we're going to start insulting eachother, I'll just say it now: I think you're an arrogant elitist narcissistic person.
