Agree, they could probably introduce Clarrisse properly, and have the prophecy and Thalia's tree shown in a simple conversation- change the ages up from 16 to like, 20 or something, weird but I dunno... Anyway yeah, they can explain things they left out really simply and just stick to the book, deviations will be defintely there, but they wouldn't have to make them on such a big scale and not completely turn the story around as they did with The Ligthing thief, but they'd have to make the subsequent movies fast so that the actors aren't too old by the time The Last Olympian rolls around, if it does.
