This week, we're turning our attention to adaptations of The Lightning Thief. Which adaptation did the Lotus Casino scene better? The Lighting Thief film starring Logan Lerman, or the 2023-2024 television series? Additionally, did you enjoy Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" or Dua Lipa's "Levitating" more as the theme for the scene?

Remember, debates are a two-way thing, so be sure to reply to your fellow demigods! Let's get a conversation going!

Heads up!  This week's debate contains spoilers for The House of Hades and The Blood of Olympus. 

This week, we're focusing on love in the Riordanverse.  In The House of Hades, Leo Valdez finds himself on the island of Ogygia.  Recently abandoned by Percy Jackson, and cursed to fall in love with any man who washes up on her island, Calypso, daughter of Atlas, reluctantly nurses Leo back to health and helps him build his raft.  In turn, Leo reciprocates her feelings and swears to come back for her.  In The Blood of Olympus, Leo fulfills his oath, and the two fly off together on Festus's back, officially beginning their romantic relationship. 

Some readers love "Caleo" for their enemies-to-lovers-esque roots while others feel as if Leo was put into a relationship to resolve his loneliness as the sole single person in the Seven.  What do you think?  Do you ship Caleo?  Why or why not? 

Don't be afraid to reply to each other!  Unlike monsters, your fellow demigods don't bite!

As always, thanks so much for your participation; we hope you're having as much fun debating as we are putting together the questions and moderating!

In the Harry Potter universe, Hogwarts students are split into four different houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Below is a brief description of each one for your convenience, information courtesy of WizardingWorld.com.

Gryffindor: Students placed in Gryffindor demonstrate qualities of bravery, determination, and courage. Students in Gryffindor are typically the most daring at Hogwarts. They might also have a competitive edge, a tendency to challenge authority, and a willingness to stand up for those who need it. The Gryffindor mascot is a lion, and its colors are red and gold.

Slytherin: Students placed in Slytherin are often ambitious, prideful, and cunning. Despite their tough exterior and poor reputation, there have been several good Slytherins to attend Hogwarts! The Slytherin mascot is a snake, and its colors are silver and emerald.

Ravenclaw: Students placed in Ravenclaw are wise, witty, and skillful. These students are innovators, overachievers, and analysts. The Ravenclaw mascot is an eagle, and its colors are blue and bronze.

Hufflepuff: Students placed in Hufflepuff are trustworthy, hardworking, and humble. Hufflepuffs have strong moral compasses, and a strong work ethic. The Hufflepuff mascot is a badger, and its colors are yellow and black.

So with that in mind, you, the demigod debaters, will be filling in for the Sorting Hat today.

What Hogwarts Houses do Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Grover Underwood belong in?

Everyone is welcome to take a stab at this debate, regardless of whether or not you've read Harry Potter.
