You do realize that the original Percy Jackson series was white as fuck and it's only in his follow ups, once he's achieved popularity on a YA level, and that started years after HP ended, that he started incorporating diverse casts. Yeah Heroes of Olympus is diverse, but Percy Jackson and the Olympians is totally pasty and it takes place in New York City. Adding to that, since he was already an established author he probably COULD have gotten away with a really diverse cast from the getgo since he already had his foot in the door. You're comparing an established writer who started a series in like 2011 (Heroes of Olympus) to someone who couldn't even get published who started a series in 1997.

Similarly JK Rowling's post Harry Potter books have been MUCH more diverse than the HP books. So basically, they've both gotten better about diversity over time.

In any case I was into PJatO as it came out, and grew disillusioned with it because I found the last book very lacking. Couldn't get into his newer stuff because it was more of the same. I find his writing pretty lackluster anymore, which is too bad because I do appreciate that he's diversified his cast.
