Genuinely another reason I am excited for Percy Jackson to be a show is bc I want it so badly to beat the shit out of Harry Potter. Fundamentally it is a more inclusive world than Harry Potter bc it was made for disabled kids and also makes disabled kids feel seen. Percy Jackson was written with love and it tells kids that you can make a difference. It empathises with antagonists that aren't nazis, but kids who've been fucked over by a system upheld by their parents, and then dismantles the system. It tells kids they can make a difference in the way the world works, not just that they can take down individual bad guys.

Also, just saying, Rick is actively making the cast diverse and while he has definitely fucked up in the past (looking at Piper so hard), at least he's growing and changing to be more inclusive and doesn't pussy foot around adding explicitly POC and queer and disabled characters.

#He even had a genderfluid main character in Magnus Chase whose gender is confusing to the protag but never ridiculed #Alex is a proud and out hispanic genderfluid character who not only is major but also a love interest #She explains what genderfluid is and explicitly says it's not a choice it's just who she is #And Magnus literally ends up catching onto which days he's a boy and which he's a girl and does his best with Alex
