BG1's "My Friends are gonna love voting on this" Edges:

Primary Weapon: I have to say that the edge here is somewhat even since Harry's wand can only work from a distance and while Percy can knock it away using Riptide, he can't seriously harm Harry directly because Harry, while being more than just a human, is not a god, titan, demigod, monster or half-blood (I wonder if Percy then can fare well against Severus Snape since he is the half-blood prince?) in any sense of the word. Also of note is that while Harry has a wand, he can perhaps conjure up a sword of his own or use the bladed spell but it's hard to determine whether that can help Harry counter Riptide

EDGE: Even

Powers/Magic

Offensive: Spells that I consider to fall into this category are Flipendo, Incendio, and Reductor and Percy's powers that fall into this category are his swordsmanship, water-induced superhuman abilities, water solidification and water propulsion; I have to say that maybe, just maybe, spells can not be harmed by the elements but in terms of which one will guarantee a fatal blow, I have to give the edge to Percy's powers (Reductor is the most lethal spell in Harry's book I can think of)

EDGE: Percy

Passive: Harry's Shield Charm and Expelliarmus vs Percy's Water Immunity, Water Solidification, Heat Resistance and Healing Factor... Well as I say before, Harry's spell can possibly get past the elements and expelliarmus can definitely get him out of trouble from Percy's weapons but Percy has defensive/passive abilities that can really suit him well (I don't see a healing spell in Harry's arsenal)

EDGE: Even

Tactical: Expelliarmus, Confundus and Mobiliarbus definitely fall into this category as does Percy's aerokinesis, cryokinesis, water solidification and ADHD and I again have to say this is even since Harry's tactical spells definitely help him whereas Percy's tactical abilities, while not as definite, are greater in magnitude

EDGE: Percy

Mobility: Percy's superhuman speed methinks can be stopped by Harry's immobilisation spells but if and only if Harry is fast enough. I remember reading somewhere that spells in the HP-verse travel at 30 feet per second which equates to about 20mph which is just about an average running speed for a human... I will have to call this even since Harry is probably very quick in conjuring up spells quickly but Percy can be trick-y when trying to gain the edge in mobility i.e. using the water to push him forward

EDGE: Even

Overall Edge: Percy

Flight Equipment: Broomstick vs Dragon? This one should be a no-brainer, even if Firebolt can go at greater speeds and be very agile in flight

EDGE: Percy

Overall Winner: He's done it before, and he will do it again, Percy Jackson wins this battle of the teenage fandoms. Although Harry has faced plenty of enemies more powerful than him in his lifetime that possess lethal arsenals, I have to say that Percy has done that but to a larger scale facing off against foes that I bet would make Harry crap his pants; and its because of these more ferocious beasts that Percy has to use abilities that possess a high lethality rate - abilities that when brought into a battle like this will certainly make him end up on top (the water in particular he can turn into weapons whereas Harry has no spells that can make him conjure up something midair like his Sword or something)
