Hmm not really. I though it was fresh and new. Plus wizards can have many powers while demigods can only have one or two.Anxious Educator wrote:I definitely don't think the series is a ripoff of Harry Potter, but I did see some similarities: 2 boys and 1 girl set off on adventures to ultimately fight the Bad Guy, Percy realizes he's a wizard...er...demigod, the whole prophecy thing... Did anyone find other similarities? At least for me, the similarities weren't bothersome because each series is so fundamentally different.

And of course, like most popular book series, it was completely disgraced by the film -_-

lmao! totally agree. I mean, they are not TOTALLY bad, not as bad as twilight per se, but the actors (other than logan lerman who is wonderful) are terrible!! The contemporary "lingo" they use ruins it for me, plus they messed with some of the plot and events in a way that kind of ruined the true storyline.
