They are both very good stories, and both have movie versions.

Harry Potter has a more serious storyline, and the characters have more depth. The franchise has also had many more sales. There is more mystery involved, and clues to figure out. Smaller details from early in the story come back to become significant later on.

Percy Jackson is a lighter read, and contains much more humor. It is rich with Greek mythology, and Rick Riordan does a wonderful job integrating past myth into modern times. Percy has such a hard time, you can't help but root for him.

Harry also has a very hard time, what with the ministry calling him crazy, the Wizarding World thinking he's mad, and Umbridge giving him detentions because he spoke the truth. And Harry Potter is also filled with mythology, you just have to look a little closer.

Because of that, and many other reasons, Jackson is very similar to Potter. For example, their names, which usually have a very long history in myths, just overlooked by the leaders.

It also has the animals, like Ceberus, the three headed guardian dog, dragons, which have many breeds showing how much effort J K put into her books, and the Acromantula, the giant "Spiders."

And Ron is scared to death of spiders, just like Annabeth.
