Percy Jackson and Harry Potter are two great series based on Greek Mythology. One thing people have been arguing about for years is which book series is better. In this article, I will talk about 3 different reasons Percy Jackson books are better. Percy Jackson books are shorter. More series than Harry Potter. Harry Potter can be confusing.
For the first reason, I think that it is better that Percy Jackson books are shorter than Harry Potter books. That makes it easier to read and understand. If you have a really long book it will be hard to read and boring. Percy Jackson is not too long or too short. Harry Potter books are long but still fun. The Harry Potter movies are also long with some of them at almost 3 hours!
The second reason is that there are more series in Percy Jackson that features most of the same characters and all of the series are connected. Even though there are 2 more books in Harry Potter than Percy Jackson there are around 3 other series besides Percy Jackson that also have some of the same characters. Heroes of Olympus, Magnus Chase, and Trials of Apollo. (According to rickriordan.com a new series made by Rick Riordan is coming out soon, the first book will be called The Sun and the Star)
For my final reason, Harry Potter books can be very confusing and have a pattern that never needed to be added. The pattern is that in every book there is a new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher. Percy Jackson books usually aren’t confusing. Sometimes Harry Potter can be really confusing.
Here are some fun facts about both series. Harry Potter: Harry Potters’s birthday is the same as the author JK Rowling's says insider.com. Peeves the ghost is not in the movies at all but is in the books. Ron’s dad was supposed to die in the books but JK Rowling decided to not include it.
Percy Jackson: In the book Trials of Apollo, The Hidden Oracle one of the characters asks Percy where Annabeth is and he says, ”Some family issues” referring to Magnus Chase when everyone thinks he is dead. Percy appears in almost every series by Rick Riordan. The second Percy Jackson movie explains most of the other books after Sea of Monsters. Raffi Arakelyan says, “Percy Jackson is definitely better!” Bricen Collins says “Percy Jackson is better.”
That is all for my article. I hope I convinced you that Percy Jackson is a better series than Harry Potter but if not Harry Potter is still a really good series. If you would like to vote for which is better click this link.
