But, just to cut them some slack, I'll try to defend the directors. For one, it is quite difficult to make a movie that is more than 24 hours long. TLT and I believe TSOM all take place over multiple days in the books. On top of that, you would need a HUGE budget for special effects and all of that to show all of Percy's powers, the monsters, etc. While they did get quite lazy with the movies, they did the best they could. (I doubt that they did, just wanted to end on a better note.) But obviously nobody would have dared to do that for Harry Potter.
