I love both, but Percy Jackson is better. I like all three main characters more than those in Harry Potter and the author actually cares about his readers. I'm not saying Riordan is flawless, he made many mistakes, some quite significant, but he tries very hard to correct them and improve himself, while Rowling refuses to listen to the groups she's talking about.
Harry Potter is iconic and is a deeper and more complex story than Percy Jackson, but... Percy Jackson is more enjoyable. From the humor and s p a r k l e in the writing to the diversity and inclusion of the characters, Percy Jackson is better in my eyes. Plus, Rick Riordan>JK Rowling that's just fact
I love both so much but I like Percy Jackson more yes Harry Potter is more popular but there is more story to Percy Jackson and it is much more diverse. Also I can’t wait for the Disney + series.
While I loved HP when I was younger, now I see how flawed the series is. I like the concept and the world but the execution and some plot lines could have been done much better. I think Harry Potter is a really good series but it isn't as amazing and perfect as many people seem to think. PJ I reread recently (I also read HoO) and I liked it so much more than I did when I was a kid. Even though it probably should be the other way around? I think it's very unique and the characters are so much fun. I don't think there is a character that I really dislike? But both series are very good. I understand why one would speak more to someone than the other (nostalgia and childhood memories could also be a big influence). Especially since my sister prefers HP so I know both sides of the argument.
“You could write Grover out of the story and there would be no difference” WRONG! In book 1 Grover warned Percy and his mom about the Minotaur, book 2 he helped Percy find the Golden Fleece using the Empathy Link, book 3 he finds and protects Nico and Bianca from the Manticore so Percy Annabeth and Thalia can help take them to camp, book 4 he uses the power of Pan to scare an enemy army into retreating, and in book 5 he opens the Door of Orpheus by playing his pipes so Percy can take a dip in the River Styx and become indestructible like Achilles. That’s just one example for every book, there’s probably more
@@natasha4046 I think you forgot Dumbledore is gay. And in the new cursed child thing (which is horrible be the way) Hermione is black. But I totally can’t choose...for me like the character development and just the connection we have with the Percy Jackson characters is amazhang. While in Harry Potter, I really loved the world building and the complexity. I seriously cannot choose. But Percy Jackson deserves more and is just AS good as a Harry Potter in every way.
@@natasha4046 lmao yeah I agree with you so basically what I’m trying to say is, Percy Jackson: good Harry Potter: good Rick riordan: good JK Rowling: bad
@@natasha4046 i mean my guy hp is based in britain tf di u expect and also there are gay,black people in the books and movies including fantastic beasts not everything has to be solved with race and shit
Harry Potter is still an amazing series years later and Percy Jackson has levels of sass that could level cities but both of them hold a special place in my heart and anyone who attacks them shall burn in the fiery pits of Mordor
Raesang Dalu totally, it is great, I love the musical, but it’s just overall more forgettable imo. Like tbh I kind of forgot it existed before seeing OP’s comment
Percy Jackson defeated gods. Harry Potter defeated a cult. Also, Percy Jackson acknowledges that problems aren't going to go away. Monsters are those problems and they are going to keep coming back and that's okay because there are always going to be people there to help. Also the Harry Potter story line kinda falls through, I love the idea but in an entire WORLD of magic there is only one evil? And its a nose less guy guy who is discriminatory? We have those in the real world. There was so much opportunity that was honestly kind of wasted. Also, what teacher sends a kid back to an abusive house hold? Like bro...come on
You r such an idiot all these things were explained 🤣🤣 in the book why Dumbledore sent harry to the Dursleys and there were no main evils except Grindelwald and voldemort cause they were afraid of Dumbledore so just shut up and stop saying Percy Jackson is better than harry potter cause it really isn't PJ is children's book but HP is for all ages though lotr is the best and twilight sucks
@@sanjaykumarsingh8550 lmao, pjo is also for all ages, a book doesnt have an age right, dumbass, we all have different opinions, we just love percy jackson more, and jk rowling just keeps adding tiny details that werent in the books, years later. Just beat it, we arent here to start fan wars, just here to actually love our books and not get into petty fights with those who call themselves fans
@@sanjaykumarsingh8550 also where the hell did twilight come from? Lmao, thats kind of weird and embarrassing comparing books and shaming people for their likes if you ask me
I kept getting angry at both of them! 😅 Harry Potter will of course always have a special place in my heart, but Percy Jackson is just as good, if not better!
What I love about harry potter is how the fandom has now the power. Most of us don't support jk, but we love the saga anyway and the community it has created
Wow why am I agreeing with everything on the Percy Jackson side. Oh wait cause it is better and deserves the same recognition and fame as Harry Potter. I mean I love Harry Potter too, but Rick's books are just better. As a character I would take Percy over Harry any day.
Percy Jackson takes the cake for diversity, but Harry Potter is better overall to me, as it’s my whole childhood and I’ve loved it for forever. Like I’ve read Percy Jackson all the way through, but Harry Potter was my personal favorite. It’s world building really brought you to Hogwarts and all of the other magical places, and always left me full of wonder about the universe. Harry Potter is amazing to, and it’s great that the community is discovering many ways to separate the content from TERF that is the creator. Like I don’t support JK Rowling anymore, buying merchandise secondhand or fan-made merchandise, and I condone that other Harry Potter fans do the same. Percy Jackson followed the same formula at the beginning for sure, but it definitely expanded upon in its own way. Also The Lightning Thief Musical was much better than The Cursed Child, in my opinion. Like this is my (very biased) opinion as Harry Potter was probably my first huge obsession, which still carries on to this day.
I am kind of surprised that no one Replied to this you since you are the first person (for me) to be taking Harry Potter's side instead of Percy Jackson's.
I agree kinda . Like people are comparing Percy Jackson series to be so much bigger than Harry Potter but can't they understand Percy Jackson series are not only about Percy its also Trials of Apollo and more while Harry Potter is basically about him and his adventures trying to defeat Voldermort.
I noticed one more thing that Percy Jackson fan comments (on this video) are lot more biased and offensive than the potterheads here. They agree that both the series were magical
I love both and Percy Jackson has more diversity but Harry Potter is better, Camp Half-Blood could never compete with the magic of Hogwarts, and the franchise is just so popular at this point Harry Potter is a classic in media and pop culture (also, while books don’t have age restrictions, the Percy Jackson books are targeted towards younger readers, especially the first series, whereas Harry Potter is timeless) No hate whatsoever if you prefer Percy Jackson, and Rick Riordan is far better than JK Rowling, but Harry Potter is my childhood so I feel pretty strongly about it
Well to me it’s more of Hogwarts was the place you wanted to be. You wanted to visit the Wizarding World. I still wanted to go to Camp Half but the Wizarding World was magical (no pun intended). But Harry, Hermione and Ron don’t feel like real people. Like at all. They felt like characters in a story and it kinda took me out of the world. Percy, Annabeth and Grover felt so much more real. I wanted to go on adventures with them. They felt like real twelve year olds. I found all of them charming. And I got attached to them really quickly. Rick clearly put a lot of effort into writing them. And I think that’s where people differ. But Stan Rick because Rowling is transphobic.
A Person Thank you! I still love the Harry Potter series, it was a huge part of my childhood, and it saddens me for Rowling to be transphobic as I am a trans person. But I’ll live and I can still enjoy the series but I won’t continue to support the artist.
That's because Harry Potter was intended to be one series so the story aged up with each book. Percy Jackson was the first series and intended for children. Heroes of Olympus and the others are more mature.
First of Percy Jackson fan all the way. Dont get me wrong I enjoyed Harry Potter but I never felt a strong connection to it and I think it's because of how diversity functions in the books. In HP it seemed like she would squeeze in the diversity after the fact or as an after thought. But in Percy Jackson the diversity was an integral part and it was woven into the story so well. It's like hello here is the well thought out character who is also these things. Every character was relatable in their own way and even with our differences I still felt connected to them but I never felt that in HP.
I love both. Their books and musicals are both great, but Harry Potter takes the cake for me. The series was my childhood. It was a world of imagination and magic, that also included a complex plot, detailed characters and world building, with elements of humor, joy, and sadness that can make you both laugh and cry. From the first paragraph, I was hooked. Although I will admit that Riordan is a better person than Rowling.
In my opinion, Harry Potter is better in terms of setting and themes, especially if we're just talking about the original main series. However Percy Jackson has better characters, and the writing is more engaging. Percy Jackson also does get deeper and more complex as the series continue, and the world building is just fantastic because of how much Rick has written about it, so for that reason Percy Jackson solidly wins for me. Also the obvious Rick Riordan >> JK Rowling.
Say it with me PERCY. JACKSON. IS. ONE. OF. THE. BEST. BOOKS. IN. EXISTENCE. Harry. Potter. Wasn’t. Very. Good. Idk why but I hate the HP books but LOVE the universe. A lot of people would think I read all the books, but I friend and I couldn’t get past the 4th. I love the wizard omg world of Harry Potter though!
I watched this before and I haven't read PJO at that time and I was only an HP fan. But now I'm re-watching it after reading all the PJO, HoO, and TOA books while self-proclaiming that I'm a demigod and a daughter of Athena.
I took the test and it said I was a daughter of Poseidon (which makes sense cuz I live next to the ocean and I love going to Hawaii) but I’m kinda a self proclaimed daughter/descendant of Apollo cuz my parents are doctors, I have a weird obsession with archery, and I like singing and play piano. But I’m a hunter of Artemis 🙃
i think a lot of stuff from the harry potter books and the author are really problematic. i loved it when i was younger and i still kinda do but there's so much fat shaming, literally no diversity and way to little female representation while jk is pretending to be a feminist. plus, i just prefer the writing, the characters and the plot in percy jackson. i'm not going to try to defend the peter johnson films, we neither speak about nor support them. rick is superior to jk of course
@@MyBitch925 then learn how to read. jk wasnt the only thing i was criticising about hp. the racism within the books is enough of a reason for me to dislike it. its one of the many instances were separating art and artist doesnt really work because of how much the artists bigotry influences the art.
Hero - Percy Jackson Side Characters - Percy Jackson Plot - Percy Jackson Depth of Characters - Percy Jackson Diversity - Percy Jackson Author - Percy Jackson Hmm, I wonder which is better
Fights - Percy Jackson Parents - Harry Potter Movies - Percy Jackson doesn',t have one so automatically Harry Potter World Building - Percy Jackson Character Development - Percy Jackson Love Couple - Percy Jackson
@@noobgaming6793 Your world building comment irks me so horribly. I disagree with every point, but are you joking? Everything in that sense was layed out for him in the myths.
Seriously, is this a joke, because Harry Potter will " ALWAYS " have better heroes, side characters, plot and depth. I'll be nice and let you take the rest.
Harry Potter is definately more awe inspiring. however, I realize that Harry Potter have way too good of an ending. That epilogue made it impossible to create more lore. The stories are great and the books are interesting but in the end, nothing can beat that. The ending made it clear it was a happily ever after sort of deal. Percy Jackson may have had an ending but the ending is different. it doesn't solve any of the big issues. monsters will always be there and Percy still have a whole life to live after completing the prophecy/prophecies. Having a good ending is important but too good of an ending would let the world be just that. Nothing happens afterwards. Both are good books but imo Percy Jackson gives a more lasting impression for me personally because I can create future evens in my head making it more magical while Harry Potter ended in the seventh book for me. The cursed child is not Harry Potter. It's a story about Albus Potter. Harry is no longer the important one. The world is different and should be seen in a different lens
Harry: I lost my parents and some friends and I fought in a war against a noseless dude. It was like hell. Annabeth: Cute. Not that I would know aNyThiNG about hell. Persassy: I have taught you well.
As a fan of both, Harry Potter AND Percy Jackson, no Harry Potter fan would deny the fact that J.K Rowling did not over wrote her stories, and definitely no PJO fan would EVER stand up for the movies. We all know they were painfully inaccurate. :P But other than that i did enjoy the drama between the two fandoms.
2:50 EXCUSE ME!! Did you just call my two favorite series useless?! Heroes Of Olympus and Trials Of Apollo are my favorite series, the characters feel like they could be real people with meaningful well done (and usually tragic) backstories, character flaws, I learned something from almost every character, the relationships all made sense and not all of them lasted forever just like in real life, the character deaths mean something and have lasting consequences! P.S The beginning of this comment was meant to be a joke nothing more, it's just about personal preference. Then I just listed some of why I like them.
Anyone else argued with themselves in a mirror after watching this video because you love both series but like one of the authors better then Hunger Games came into the mix and it sent you back down the hole.
I’m a Harry Potter fan first, but I live Percy Jackson. And they are both better than the Hunger Games (Sorry). And just, everyone is a Harry Potter fan. Like, I don’t know a single nerd/geek that isn’t a Harry Potter fan. Also, most Harry Potter fans wouldn’t defend JK Rowling, and no Percy Jackson fan would defend the movies.
Nobody in our fandom defends the Peter Johnson movies, whoever does defend them deserves to be judo flipped by nobody and get stabbed in the back by a former roman leader.
The reason why in most versus battles more people will side with Percy Jackson is because the Percy Jackson fans have something to prove and are always trying to show how good their series is compared to Harry Potter which all of them know Over half of the Harry Potter fanbase have never even heard of Percy Jackson I've read both and I'm team HP
I prefer harry potter over percy jackson, but I support rick riordan way more than jk rowling. Anyway, I love both sagas, even though I think percy jackson is funnier and more inclusive (so bonus points for it)
Long paragraph of a random persons opinion, you don't have to read lol I like both pretty equally, they both act as a good escape for me, and I fell in love with all the characters, but J.K Rowling just irritates the utter crap out of me, and Rick Riordan was a lot better when people pointed out the lack of diversity in his first series (I mean there was what one black character, and he died) he didn't tweet trying to squeeze in representation, he took it upon himself to deliver that representation, and I really appreciated that. With the Harry Potter fandom overall in my experience, it's surprisingly less toxic and people accept all sorts of headcanons, and we kinda took it upon ourselves to create the characters in our image like for me I interpret Harry as bisexual, Remus and Sirius dated at Hogwarts, Tonks is genderfluid, Hermione is black...ect. I think both fandoms have their ups and downs but overall they're both great.
HEY Uncle Rick CAN do Harry Potter and JK Rowling CANT do Percy Jackson. sooooooo PERCY JACKSON 4 DA WINNNNNNN when i was a kid i read HP only ONE CHAPTER and I didnt like it, after a few years i found out about PJO/HoO. I think is like the same as HP, so I take back what i said its SO MUCH BETTER Im in ToA rn and i fell in love in it. fite me
this would have been even funnier if another dude fell from the ceiling onto the table and was like: *"you're all wrong. I'm The Lord of the Rings, pleased to meet you."*
Inaccurate, no Percy Jackson fan would ever defend the movies
Facts the movies were trash but the books and musical are good
Yea i love percy jackson and i hate the movies they so inaccurate

Pjo has more interesting characters and characters dynamic and did the enemies to lovers better than JK Rowling.
I personally don’t think Harry Potter is much deeper than Percy Jackson.
Harrison Bergeron I think Harry Potter is
watchanime anime tv and I respect your opinion.
I love both so much but I like Percy Jackson more yes Harry Potter is more popular but there is more story to Percy Jackson and it is much more diverse. Also I can’t wait for the Disney + series.

“You could write Grover out of the story and there would be no difference”
WRONG! In book 1 Grover warned Percy and his mom about the Minotaur, book 2 he helped Percy find the Golden Fleece using the Empathy Link, book 3 he finds and protects Nico and Bianca from the Manticore so Percy Annabeth and Thalia can help take them to camp, book 4 he uses the power of Pan to scare an enemy army into retreating, and in book 5 he opens the Door of Orpheus by playing his pipes so Percy can take a dip in the River Styx and become indestructible like Achilles. That’s just one example for every book, there’s probably more

Percy Jackson defeated gods. Harry Potter defeated a cult. Also, Percy Jackson acknowledges that problems aren't going to go away. Monsters are those problems and they are going to keep coming back and that's okay because there are always going to be people there to help. Also the Harry Potter story line kinda falls through, I love the idea but in an entire WORLD of magic there is only one evil? And its a nose less guy guy who is discriminatory? We have those in the real world. There was so much opportunity that was honestly kind of wasted. Also, what teacher sends a kid back to an abusive house hold? Like bro...come on
You dropped this 👑
You r such an idiot all these things were explained 🤣🤣 in the book why Dumbledore sent harry to the Dursleys and there were no main evils except Grindelwald and voldemort cause they were afraid of Dumbledore so just shut up and stop saying Percy Jackson is better than harry potter cause it really isn't PJ is children's book but HP is for all ages though lotr is the best and twilight sucks

Wow why am I agreeing with everything on the Percy Jackson side. Oh wait cause it is better and deserves the same recognition and fame as Harry Potter. I mean I love Harry Potter too, but Rick's books are just better. As a character I would take Percy over Harry any day.
And I would marry Umb*tch before letting you get away with saying that.

I love Harry Potter but hate Jk Rowling. Meanwhile I love Percy Jackson and Rick Riordan so the choice is easy for me as well.
My 3 favorite series in 1 video!!
Percy Jackson takes the cake for diversity, but Harry Potter is better overall to me, as it’s my whole childhood and I’ve loved it for forever. Like I’ve read Percy Jackson all the way through, but Harry Potter was my personal favorite. It’s world building really brought you to Hogwarts and all of the other magical places, and always left me full of wonder about the universe. Harry Potter is amazing to, and it’s great that the community is discovering many ways to separate the content from TERF that is the creator. Like I don’t support JK Rowling anymore, buying merchandise secondhand or fan-made merchandise, and I condone that other Harry Potter fans do the same. Percy Jackson followed the same formula at the beginning for sure, but it definitely expanded upon in its own way. Also The Lightning Thief Musical was much better than The Cursed Child, in my opinion. Like this is my (very biased) opinion as Harry Potter was probably my first huge obsession, which still carries on to this day.
I am kind of surprised that no one Replied to this you since you are the first person (for me) to be taking Harry Potter's side instead of Percy Jackson's.
I agree sm with this comment omgg
I agree kinda . Like people are comparing Percy Jackson series to be so much bigger than Harry Potter but can't they understand Percy Jackson series are not only about Percy its also Trials of Apollo and more while Harry Potter is basically about him and his adventures trying to defeat Voldermort.
Yesssss, I totally agree ❤️😜
totally agree, Harry Freakin' Potter > Peter Johnson any day of the week
I noticed one more thing that Percy Jackson fan comments (on this video) are lot more biased and offensive than the potterheads here. They agree that both the series were magical
When you love both Harry Potter and Percy Jackson and can’t choose one
I love both and Percy Jackson has more diversity but Harry Potter is better, Camp Half-Blood could never compete with the magic of Hogwarts, and the franchise is just so popular at this point Harry Potter is a classic in media and pop culture (also, while books don’t have age restrictions, the Percy Jackson books are targeted towards younger readers, especially the first series, whereas Harry Potter is timeless)
No hate whatsoever if you prefer Percy Jackson, and Rick Riordan is far better than JK Rowling, but Harry Potter is my childhood so I feel pretty strongly about it
Well to me it’s more of Hogwarts was the place you wanted to be. You wanted to visit the Wizarding World. I still wanted to go to Camp Half but the Wizarding World was magical (no pun intended). But Harry, Hermione and Ron don’t feel like real people. Like at all. They felt like characters in a story and it kinda took me out of the world. Percy, Annabeth and Grover felt so much more real. I wanted to go on adventures with them. They felt like real twelve year olds. I found all of them charming. And I got attached to them really quickly. Rick clearly put a lot of effort into writing them. And I think that’s where people differ. But Stan Rick because Rowling is transphobic.
@@cordeliajackson8615 You make good points, I agree with everything you said! (and yes, Stan Rick, trans women are women and valid)
A Person
Thank you! I still love the Harry Potter series, it was a huge part of my childhood, and it saddens me for Rowling to be transphobic as I am a trans person. But I’ll live and I can still enjoy the series but I won’t continue to support the artist.
same
That's because Harry Potter was intended to be one series so the story aged up with each book. Percy Jackson was the first series and intended for children. Heroes of Olympus and the others are more mature.
Percy Jackson now and forever
First of Percy Jackson fan all the way. Dont get me wrong I enjoyed Harry Potter but I never felt a strong connection to it and I think it's because of how diversity functions in the books. In HP it seemed like she would squeeze in the diversity after the fact or as an after thought. But in Percy Jackson the diversity was an integral part and it was woven into the story so well. It's like hello here is the well thought out character who is also these things. Every character was relatable in their own way and even with our differences I still felt connected to them but I never felt that in HP.
The part about Grover hurt
Persassy for the win
Harry is a God without needing to be related to one.
I love both. Their books and musicals are both great, but Harry Potter takes the cake for me. The series was my childhood. It was a world of imagination and magic, that also included a complex plot, detailed characters and world building, with elements of humor, joy, and sadness that can make you both laugh and cry. From the first paragraph, I was hooked. Although I will admit that Riordan is a better person than Rowling.
In my opinion, Harry Potter is better in terms of setting and themes, especially if we're just talking about the original main series. However Percy Jackson has better characters, and the writing is more engaging. Percy Jackson also does get deeper and more complex as the series continue, and the world building is just fantastic because of how much Rick has written about it, so for that reason Percy Jackson solidly wins for me. Also the obvious Rick Riordan >> JK Rowling.
I love both, but-and sorry, like, I'm sorry-I prefer Harry Potter. (Don't kill me please!)
Me to 💗💗💗
Finally, MY KIND.
The Harry Potter community has basically disowned jk Rowling at this point
No I’m not kidding
Sounds like the Riordanverse fandom and the PJO movies
Say it with me
PERCY. JACKSON. IS. ONE. OF. THE. BEST. BOOKS. IN. EXISTENCE.
Harry. Potter. Wasn’t. Very. Good.
Idk why but I hate the HP books but LOVE the universe. A lot of people would think I read all the books, but I friend and I couldn’t get past the 4th. I love the wizard omg world of Harry Potter though!
Percy Jackson is just better
Exactly. Harry potter was kinda boring
agree with that
@@AmySwain03 In a world where Umbridge is the most loved character.
I watched this before and I haven't read PJO at that time and I was only an HP fan. But now I'm re-watching it after reading all the PJO, HoO, and TOA books while self-proclaiming that I'm a demigod and a daughter of Athena.
I took the test and it said I was a daughter of Poseidon (which makes sense cuz I live next to the ocean and I love going to Hawaii) but I’m kinda a self proclaimed daughter/descendant of Apollo cuz my parents are doctors, I have a weird obsession with archery, and I like singing and play piano. But I’m a hunter of Artemis 🙃
i think a lot of stuff from the harry potter books and the author are really problematic. i loved it when i was younger and i still kinda do but there's so much fat shaming, literally no diversity and way to little female representation while jk is pretending to be a feminist.
plus, i just prefer the writing, the characters and the plot in percy jackson. i'm not going to try to defend the peter johnson films, we neither speak about nor support them.
rick is superior to jk of course
then separate the books and movies from jk
@@MyBitch925 then learn how to read. jk wasnt the only thing i was criticising about hp. the racism within the books is enough of a reason for me to dislike it. its one of the many instances were separating art and artist doesnt really work because of how much the artists bigotry influences the art.
@@miovvvwhat racism
Harry Potter is more popular. Harry Potter has been sold 500 million times, while Percy Jackson has just been sold 69 million times.
Popular doesn't mean better
Hero - Percy Jackson
Side Characters - Percy Jackson
Plot - Percy Jackson
Depth of Characters - Percy Jackson
Diversity - Percy Jackson
Author - Percy Jackson
Hmm, I wonder which is better
Fights - Percy Jackson
Parents - Harry Potter
Movies - Percy Jackson doesn',t have one so automatically Harry Potter
World Building - Percy Jackson
Character Development - Percy Jackson
Love Couple - Percy Jackson
@@noobgaming6793 Your world building comment irks me so horribly. I disagree with every point, but are you joking? Everything in that sense was layed out for him in the myths.
And I wonder what Umbridge would do if she caught you lying.
Seriously, is this a joke, because Harry Potter will " ALWAYS " have better heroes, side characters, plot and depth. I'll be nice and let you take the rest.
Harry Potter is definately more awe inspiring. however, I realize that Harry Potter have way too good of an ending. That epilogue made it impossible to create more lore. The stories are great and the books are interesting but in the end, nothing can beat that. The ending made it clear it was a happily ever after sort of deal. Percy Jackson may have had an ending but the ending is different. it doesn't solve any of the big issues. monsters will always be there and Percy still have a whole life to live after completing the prophecy/prophecies. Having a good ending is important but too good of an ending would let the world be just that. Nothing happens afterwards. Both are good books but imo Percy Jackson gives a more lasting impression for me personally because I can create future evens in my head making it more magical while Harry Potter ended in the seventh book for me. The cursed child is not Harry Potter. It's a story about Albus Potter. Harry is no longer the important one. The world is different and should be seen in a different lens
You still have that sinking feeling that one of your favorite HoO and PJO characters are going to die sooner or later, cause that's just their life...
@@VeniceMaureenStaAna T n T don’t say it like that we’ve lost too much already
@@marshy_5406 it's going to happen tho..
Evidence: Jason
@@VeniceMaureenStaAna and like my point we lost too much already T n T
Harry: I lost my parents and some friends and I fought in a war against a noseless dude. It was like hell.
Annabeth: Cute. Not that I would know aNyThiNG about hell.
Persassy: I have taught you well.
As a fan of both, Harry Potter AND Percy Jackson, no Harry Potter fan would deny the fact that J.K Rowling did not over wrote her stories, and definitely no PJO fan would EVER stand up for the movies. We all know they were painfully inaccurate. :P
But other than that i did enjoy the drama between the two fandoms.
2:50 EXCUSE ME!! Did you just call my two favorite series useless?! Heroes Of Olympus and Trials Of Apollo are my favorite series, the characters feel like they could be real people with meaningful well done (and usually tragic) backstories, character flaws, I learned something from almost every character, the relationships all made sense and not all of them lasted forever just like in real life, the character deaths mean something and have lasting consequences!
P.S The beginning of this comment was meant to be a joke nothing more, it's just about personal preference. Then I just listed some of why I like them.
I-...
Y'ALL CAN'T MAKE ME CHOOSE BETWEEN MY FAVORITE FANDOMS. Y'ALL C A N N O T. I LOVE THEM BOTH TOO MUCH I S W E A R TO THE GREEK GODS
NO BECAUSE HOW I KNOW THAT WAS GOING TO BE THE HUNGER GAMES THE MOMENT HE STARTED LAUGHING😭😭
Anyone else argued with themselves in a mirror after watching this video because you love both series but like one of the authors better then Hunger Games came into the mix and it sent you back down the hole.
I’ve been waiting for this for years 😂
I’m a Harry Potter fan first, but I live Percy Jackson. And they are both better than the Hunger Games (Sorry).
And just, everyone is a Harry Potter fan. Like, I don’t know a single nerd/geek that isn’t a Harry Potter fan.
Also, most Harry Potter fans wouldn’t defend JK Rowling, and no Percy Jackson fan would defend the movies.
Tolkien fans in the background be like-
The basilisk is the monster the hydra could never be
Leo is the Genius Luna could never be
You can literally switch Snape with anybody, and it would still be the same story
Chronos is the big bad Voldemort could never be
Nobody in our fandom defends the Peter Johnson movies, whoever does defend them deserves to be judo flipped by nobody and get stabbed in the back by a former roman leader.
Gatekeeper
This is inaccurate for both fandoms.
Most Harry Potter fans wouldn’t see the Cursed Child
All Percy Jackson fans wouldn’t defend the movies.
The reason why in most versus battles more people will side with Percy Jackson is because the Percy Jackson fans have something to prove and are always trying to show how good their series is compared to Harry Potter which all of them know
Over half of the Harry Potter fanbase have never even heard of Percy Jackson
I've read both and I'm team HP
They have something to prove because they have so small fan base compared to Harry Potter
Wow this is going to be so intense but I think we all really know who's gonna win-
Roonil Wazlib
Team Percy Jackson here.
Daughter of Athena
Ayo daughter of Apollo and descendant of Poseidon here PERSASSY FOR THE WIN
James is the Dad Poseidon could never be
I prefer harry potter over percy jackson, but I support rick riordan way more than jk rowling. Anyway, I love both sagas, even though I think percy jackson is funnier and more inclusive (so bonus points for it)
Most of the points from both sides I found accurate. But I have never seen a Harry Potter fan act like that, none of us support JK anymore
And no ACTUAL HP fan would support the CURSED CHILD!
The second I clicked this video I KNEW the hunger games would pop up 🤣 love it
When you stan both fandoms
As soon as the third showed up, I knew it would be the Hunger Games. I love this!!! Made me laugh!
Ginny is the second female role Piper could never be
Neville is the secondary hero Nico could never be
Long paragraph of a random persons opinion, you don't have to read lol
I like both pretty equally, they both act as a good escape for me, and I fell in love with all the characters, but J.K Rowling just irritates the utter crap out of me, and Rick Riordan was a lot better when people pointed out the lack of diversity in his first series (I mean there was what one black character, and he died) he didn't tweet trying to squeeze in representation, he took it upon himself to deliver that representation, and I really appreciated that. With the Harry Potter fandom overall in my experience, it's surprisingly less toxic and people accept all sorts of headcanons, and we kinda took it upon ourselves to create the characters in our image like for me I interpret Harry as bisexual, Remus and Sirius dated at Hogwarts, Tonks is genderfluid, Hermione is black...ect. I think both fandoms have their ups and downs but overall they're both great.
I was a Pottehead in first place. But I gotta admit that Percy Jackson is better.
HEY
Uncle Rick CAN do Harry Potter and JK Rowling CANT do Percy Jackson. sooooooo PERCY JACKSON 4 DA WINNNNNNN
when i was a kid i read HP only ONE CHAPTER and I didnt like it, after a few years i found out about PJO/HoO. I think is like the same as HP, so I take back what i said its SO MUCH BETTER Im in ToA rn and i fell in love in it. fite me
THE WAY I APPLAUDED AFTER YOU SAID "IT'S HARRY POTTER IT'S NOT THAT GREAT". MY HANDS ACTUALLY HURT NOW.
“You could write grove out of the story and there will be no difference”
Me:Yes there would be
this would have been even funnier if another dude fell from the ceiling onto the table and was like:
*"you're all wrong. I'm The Lord of the Rings, pleased to meet you."*
@Cosmos And then came a fifth dude:
*"I'm A Series of Unfortunate Events, pleased to meet you."*
@Cosmos And then came the seventh dude:
*"I'm Warriors, pleased to confuse you."*
I like both… but Percy Jackson is #1, it’s way better… and I hate the hunger games… (no offense to the people who like it)
Ashen is Dark Souls but Good.
Percy Jackson is Harry Potter but Good.
Kid with a wand vs. Kid with god like powers
Summer camp vs. School
LGBTQ+ vs. homophonic
You choose my friends :)
two legends of book history ❤
What about hunger games vs divergent
It’s sad cuz a lot of my friends or anyone I know don’t know about Divergent :,(
Let's be honest. No one is defending J. K Rowling, and no one is defending the Percy Jackson movies.
Also my vote goes to Harry Potter
