Consider the fact that you compared him to Harry Potter. Then think about how the Potter fanbase is still going strong nearly 20 years after the books came out, with 8 movies (with 3 more on the way), 7 books (as well as several books that aren't tied into the main story), references everywhere, and even a website that still releases new information about the books (Pottermore or whatever that thing is), essentially re-releasing them to additional fanfare.

Then compare Percy Jackson to Harry Potter for yourself. 5 books released in quick succession while the franchise was still viable, and 2 movies that took forever to come out and stalled the movie potential due to poor reviews. It's unlikely at this point they get finished. While there was a spin-off series, it got nowhere near as much coverage as the original and have now finished off with relatively no mention of them. How often do you hear the name Percy Jackson anymore? How often do you see a reference to the series, especially by a non-fan? The series sputtered out and now is fairly irrelevant.

That doesn't sound like a definite. A few years ago, maybe, but the Percy Jackson series no longer is in the spotlight, while books like Harry Potter and Twilight have continued to be relevant.
