I am not saying the movie will be bad. It looks like it could be movie of the year, but as a fan of the Percy Jackson books, all I am saying is that I would perfer the movie to be more in line with the book. I have never read Harry Potter but I have seen the movies and yes they are good and maybe they missed parts but i think people really liked them because in each movie they were the same age as their respective book. We saw them grow up from the first movie to the last and I bet that is how people felt when they read the books. That is how I felt when i read the PJ and the Olympians books. We saw Percy, Annabeth and Grover (and some other characters) grow up from the 1st to the last book but its not the same if they are already grown up in the movie. Also Harry Potter movies included alot of characters from the book even if their role in he movie wasnt as big as in the book. The first PJ movie missed so many characters and so many important details like Kronos, Thalias tree, and Luke, Annabeth and Thalias past. Also lets remember in the book Annabeth never questioned Luke, Percy was the one questioning him but in the movie Annabeth questions him right away and its Percy that defends him. And I consider Annabeths and Luke's relationship one of the top reasons Percy defeated Kronos. But most importantly they should have made camp look more like the book. In the movie everybody has their own tent, and they use electronics which isnt allowed in the book. Also everybody except Percy knew who his dad was, in the book only his mom knew and it crossed Chirons mind that Poseidon might be his dad. For me that is too many important changes. It makes the movie look nothing like the book.
