Will Percy Jackson have a small romance theme like Prince Caspian or sappy like Twilight?
I hoping it will just stick to the book rather than turning this into Prince Caspian with the weird flirting and the kiss at the end. I seriously might die if this is at all sappy like Twilight. I’m a little worried as in the trailer Annabeth says to Percy about her feelings towards him.

Is Percy Jackson the next Harry Potter?
Is Percy Jackson the next Harry Potter?
Percy Jackson and Harry Potter have the same type of themes. Same type of characters. Percy and Harry are the heroes that grew up not knowing what they really were. They both attend places mostly unknown to humans. They both are important people. Annabeth and Hermione are the brains of the trio. Grover and Ron are the best friends and are always making jokes. They all have crazy adventures and at school/camp they go back to the regular world.
The people in all the Harry Potter movies were casted pretty well. The trio all look like their book characters. Unfortunately, the trio in Percy Jackson does not. They are not the correct age. Annabeth and Grover do not look like their book characters.
The Harry Potter movies do okay to sticking to the storyline. In the Sorcerer’s Stone it stays along the line, but no movie (that I know of) could get as close to the books as Twilight. Already Percy Jackson looks to have strayed with changing Annabeth and Grover. Also Riptide appears to be a click pen on the trailer rather than one with a cap. The opening scene in this trailer never happens in the book. I hope they cut it out of the movie as I don’t like them giving you that hint as to who is father is. Medusa is supposed to be an old grandma and on the trailer Medusa (Uma Thurman) doesn’t at all look old. In the scene shown with Medusa Percy is holding a PHONE! Demigods don’t use phones as they are like beacons. As it is an iPhone, let’s hope it’s just Grover’s cell phone. I’m glad Chris Columbus is directing as he did keep the two Harry Potter movies close to the books.
I’m really hoping The Lightening Thief will be a great movie even if it isn’t close to the books.

Percy Jackson vs Harry Potter: Round 1
Ever wonder what would happen if your favorite book characters had a one-on-one fight?
DING DING, Harry “The Chosen One” Potter VS Percy “Seaweed Brain” Jackson! First we are going to focus on combat weapons. Riptide vs Harry’s wand, yes I know that Harry ends up having the elder wand but that is later so we will look at book 1 vs book 1 (Sorcerer’s Stone vs Lightning Thief).
Strength of Weapon
A celestial bronze sword versus a wand made of holly? Not a chance, right? Celestial bronze cannot harm humans. Harry is a human…I guess…unless wizards are some other branch of the god family tree?
Percy can’t harm Harry with Riptide but Harry can hurt Percy except that Percy is trained at hand to hand combat as well and breaks that little holly wand in half with one good hit. It is possible to cast spells without using a wand, but for most wizards the results are unfocused. I guess if you put the two in a ring and told them to go at it they have a good 50-50 chance since Harry has good reflexes being a seeker and might be able to keep his wand unbroken. As long as he kept his distance and used range such as a bowman would. If he did this I think that Harry would would this match.
However, that is not all this is about. Harry versus Annabeth, Luke, Clarisse (daughter of Ares with electric spear) or most other Percy Jackson character…see ya later Potter! Percy versus Hermione Granger? Same result as Harry vs Percy.
Ultimately Riptide is much stronger than Harry’s wand but has no range.
This makes Harry Potter the winner of this round!
