@mirrorwave4: If your demanding a spell as in 'Percy ran this fast' you dont get those in HP either. No spell is clocked for speed. Some are very fast, some are bursts of light and have a range limit, some travel as projectiles one time and a flash the next. So why don't you give some speeds on the spells and we will discuss this.
Also Percy has evolved far more as a character since The Lightning Thief. He has survived dozens of life threatening situations, saved lives through quick thinking and wit. Fought Giants, Gods, and Titans to stand stills. And these people are physically stronger and faster showing that Percy had to Out Think those. He out witted the god of war Ares and managed to actually cut him in the Lightning Thief. This shows cleverness that would have put any Ravenclaw to shame.
He has also constructed and maintained an army of Demi-gods to defend Olympus and was the acting General and lead combatant. Percy has also shown bravery, insight, and wits beyond his age. He is the only Male the goddess Artemis likes at all, he earned her respect by taking the sky from her in book 3 so she could fight Atlas and avenge her fallen friend. He has earned the respect of virtually all the gods. Was offered God-hood in book 5 because of his leadership. Offered god-hood and Generalship of the armies of Poseidon in fact. Something he refused and instead asked for the gods to acknowledge all their kids (The root of why the war was possible in the first place) a fact the goddess of wisdom Athena even acknowledged as truth, something he saw while the gods did not.
Percy is not some dumb 11 year old year old kid as he was in the beginning of the Lightning Thief. He has grown and matured as much if not more then Harry. He has lost friends all throughout the series, many during battles where he was either in charge or a large part of the planning and offense. He has seen more war and combat then Harry and he has gone up against monsters and gods who would shred Potter in an instant.
@kingjohnrocks:
Fire does not burn Percy, he has had molten lava poured on him and he was not harmed, he was merely 'Very hot' No spell aside from Fiendfyre can boost a claim of lava temp and no Harry does not know that spell.
@mirrorwave4:
Percy Jackson held up the sky during the fight between Artemis and Atlas, he held the sky a feat done by Gods and Titans. Yes Annabeth did it as well but she was extremely weakened by this, Luke did as well though this may have been after his Achillies curse. Still Percy has held the sky up showing he is far stronger then 1 ton. He has survived Molten Lava being poured onto him, survived being blasted out of a Volcano and the landing. You sir are far off the mark.
@shadowpro:
Wrong. Must I point out that in the very class where Harry Witnesses the spell being used my the Fake Mad-eye the Imposter tells the whole class that if they all pointed their wands at him and said the words he would at best get a bloody nose. He stated and I am paraphrasing "It takes a bit of magic behind it" its not just intent it has to be powerful. Harry has never used it, he did master the Imperio Curse with Surprising ease and the Crucio Curse he performed only a handful of times the first time he was Bloodlusted and insane with grief over Sirius's death and all he managed to do to Belle was cause her a moment of pain.
@pwok21:
What AOE spell? They have very few of those in Harry Potter and Harry has shown none of them.
