So, I went on www.foxinternational.com/percyjackson today and suddenly it hit me as I stared at the background. Percy Jackson is wet!!!! He has to will himself to get wet, but why would he be wanting to get wet when he’s making all the water? This is a crime and I think I’ll cry if he’s getting wet like this in the movie. Maybe I’m missing something. Maybe I’m overreacting.
Do you see that he’s getting wet? What do you think? Add a comment below or discuss it in the forum HERE.

Thank you bikebreck for the spy report!
In the first post of the series Percy Jackson vs Harry Potter we saw that Harry Potter would most likely beat Percy Jackson in a one-on-one physical fight between the two. Mostly owning to Percy downfall? Riptide, which cannot harm mortals.
However, that is not really what this series is about. This series will focus on the similarities and differences of the the two books into movies.
Today, who has the cooler weapon? A wand vs a sword.
Harry’s wand is a piece of holly with a feather of a phoenix (fawkes to be exact) created by Mr. Ollivander that channels Harry’s unfocused magic energy. But what of Riptide, Percy Jackson’s sword? Riptide has a mythological history…
Riptide was formerly owned and used by the demigod, Hercules. The sword originated as Zoë Nightshade’s hairclip, which she gave to Hercules to help him defeat the monster Ladon and is said to have the ocean as its source of power, which would explain why it works well for Percy. Riptide is made of celestial bronze which destroys monsters but cannot harm mortals. You can read more about Riptide here.
The two best features of riptide are its ability to always come back to the owner and secondly when sheathed it becomes a pen. Pretty useful to have a full sword in your pocket or for the geeks, in your pocket protector made of kevlar just in case you click it (movie edition of riptide)!
This one is an easy round to judge…the round goes to Percy Jackson and Riptide! Do you think that Percy should win? Leave your comments below.
