While I do enjoy the actual writing of Riordan’s works more, the success of his works lies in his commitment to representing diversity. With the release of the trailer for Disney+’s upcoming PJO show, I am reminded of why Riordan’s children’s literature franchise is the better of the two. Despite this, the “Percy Jackson” franchise is leagues ahead of “Harry Potter” for a multitude of reasons. This gross is not even counting the momentous earnings from the “Harry Potter” movies and theme parks. Rowling has sold approximately 500 million copies of her series, whereas Rick Riordan, the author of the “Percy Jackson & the Olympians” (PJO) series, has only sold 180 million copies thus far. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” franchise is a financial juggernaut. In terms of commercial success, there is no comparison between the “Harry Potter” and “Percy Jackson” franchises.
