COMMENTS: There may Never be Another Potter
Was there a hint of corporate wistfulness in the tone of John Berman's report on ABC about the enthusiastic child readers of the Percy Jackson books by Rick Riordan? Riordan's The Olympian series combines magic, fantasy and mythology from a child's point of view. "There may never be another Harry Potter but the Percy Jackson books do have Harry Potterish qualities," was Berman's stretch. That appears to be the limit of their similarities: Riordan's series has sold 5m copies; Potter has sold 400m. The Olympian is "published by a division of our parent company Disney."
