Rick Riordan's "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" is for devoted fans of Greek mythology, which is also a major source of inspiration for "Harry Potter." The movie stars Logan Lerman as Percy Jackson, the titular character who discovers that he's the son of the god Poseidon. After a school trip gone wrong, Percy finds himself at a camp for demigod children, learning that his best friend Grover is actually a satyr and his designated protector. At camp, he befriends Annabeth Chase (Alexandra Daddario from "The White Lotus"), Athena's daughter, and Luke Castellan (Jake Abel), Hermes' son. If Hogwarts taught us anything, it's that things never go quite as planned for gifted magical children, so dangerous mythical adventures follow in this thrilling film.
