Tamora Pierce's Circle of Magic series (Circle of Magic, The Circle Opens, and the Circle Reforged) has a similar thing that resolves in "Where we live doesn't matter, what matters is that we are family and that will never change." And these are four orphans who created a found family with their primary teachers taking on the role of their parental figures. This is toward the end of the whole series when they're all young adults and have made names for themselves. One girl is high nobility on both sides and has a good chance to become a duchess because her great uncle prefers her stability and intelligence over his own irresponsible children, one girl is a smith of such renown who has the backing of the largest minting guild on the continent, the boy is a plant mage worth a moderately sized fortune for his magical plants and ability to decoct medicine, and the fourth girl is basically a demigod. Like, they don't need each other to be able to live comfortable lives, but they love and rely on each other and WANT to be a family together. It's very sweet, despite the novels regularly stabbing you in the feels with trauma, characters being anxious about things, gruesome battles, and other troubling trigger warning worthy things. I adore this series and constantly try to recommend it to people because it is so well written.

“Jason hated being old” is a vibe as well

The reason is that Harry is just told randomly that he has to die. Like his rocked to his core that, no, in the end, he HAS to die for them to win. Theres no other way. And to top it off, the one person he trusted most in the world knew the whole time and didnt tell him... PERCY on the other hand is told the moment he arrives at camp halfblood that for greek demigods, 17 is considered old age....and he's already 11. Infact, everyone around him is genuinely shocked he surived on his own til he was 11 without knowing he was a demigod. So he's fully aware that the end of the road will lead to his death and he just wants to save everyone he can. Thats why he can face down Ares at age 11 and somehow win...his whole mindset is "if I die, I die, because in the end I'll die anyways" No, Percy's world shattering moment is when he comes in contact with the ROMAN demigods and learns that not dying was even an option.

Ikr! Percy didn’t expect to make it to adulthood, and realizing that HE COULD grow up (and that many of the Romans DID get that chance) changes the whole game because now he actually has a proper future to look forward to other than “save your friends and (maybe) survive while doing it”

Percy was actually a few months from turning 13 in the first book, but your point makes sense. Harry spent his whole wizarding life being guarded so closely so he could be kept alive, countless people sacrificing themselves for him since his birth, only to be told he needed to die in the end. Whereas Camp Half-Blood made Percy a funeral shroud whenever he left the damn state and even had a whole funeral for him once while he was gone. It also wasn't clear from Percy's perspective until the end that Percy actually was "the chosen one" because Thalia and Nico were also around, and the prophecy could have been about them instead if things went a little differently.

The fact that all demigods in the series canonically have ADHD and dyslexia really lends itself to the "Zoomer summer camp" energy.

@@superidol238 look I have a lot of love for Harry Potter but the writing and themes throughout are pretty messy. The largest and best example I can give is when the books become more political starting in order of the phoenix. At the climax of the story Voldemort and Dumbledore are dueling and the centerpiece of the fight is the fountain statue at the ministry. The statue depicts all the magical races at the feet of a witch and wizard. The statue is broken and after the fight dumbledore remarks to Harry that the statue and what it represents is wrong in a pretty heavy handed allegory for white supremacy. He says that it is that sentiment that will be used against wizards and it becomes true as Voldemort is able to convince these oppressed groups to fight for him in his quest to oppress others. Those are pretty heavy themes that Rowling set up for the future books and a competent author would have used them but at the end of the series Harry doesn’t use what he’s learned from his experience to make any meaningful change to his world. The magical slave race are happy being slaves, the giants are still outcasts, the goblins are still an antisemitic stereotype and also are denied magic, and the centaurs are still considered beasts. Not only that but Harry becomes a tool for the system of oppression by becoming a wizard cop. Compare that to PJ where the systemic issues are addressed and Percy holds those in power responsible by demanding accountability and removing the mechanisms that made the conflict possible. Rowling wrote a fun series that I love but it’s got too many issues in writing all of which come from Rowlings inability to think ahead and her inherent biases for me to still consider it good.
