They could all potentially coexist. I'm only referring to a select few of them, though - namely, the "secret world" type things or franchises where the events that happen don't influence the "normal" world at all. For instance, things that happen in Harry Potter don't affect the muggle world at all and the wizarding world is kept a secret. So it might be real. But then there's also camp half blood and all the monsters which are hidden from mortal eyes by magical mist. That could also hypothetically be real. So why can't Harry Potter and Percy Jackson coexist in the same universe, each unaware of eachother's existance?
We can extend that same logic to Star Wars (It happened so long ago and so far away that it can't possibly affect modern society), Narnia, the original '78 BSG, Stargate, Artemis Fowl and many more. Just imagine if all of those were all real and existed in our universe, with us unaware of the existence of the vast majority of this badassery. We could then hypothetically encounter a force-using half-blood wizard living in Narnia with whassisname the Dwarf thief that eats dirt. And that was just a list off the top of my head, you guys are bound to be able to add hundreds more similar "hidden world" franchises to the list.

True, but then it would beg this question between Harry Potter and Percy Jackson: The Mist hides things from mortals, with the only ones being able to see through it being the actual monsters and gods of legend and then the demigods. It's very clearly indicated that in the world of Harry Potter, muggles, who are mortals, can see the wizarding world, and there are beasts from Greek legends in this wizarding world (An example would be the centaurs). First of all, it would imply that all the wizards from Harry Potters are demigods themselves, which is why they can see monsters. And second of all, it shows that the wizards are actually just overreacting when they try to hide things from the muggles, because the Mist would shield those kind of things (Remember in the first Percy Jackson books when Percy got into a sword fight with Ares and everyone said they saw them using guns, not swords). But this breaks the lore of Harry Potter, because muggles saw the flying car in the second book.

I don't see why Centaurs using Harry Potter logic have to be the same as Centaurs using Percy Jackson logic. |

hasn't everyone thought about this multiple times?

I've considered this a good amount of times, and it's possible. But, in reality kind of impossible. If you get what I mean by that, anyway.

I meant both, in a way. As in a logical sense. It's hard to explain what I mean by it.
Theoretically they could exist in the same universe, but they don't.
That but more complicated.

And that is the point where you just have to have faith in reality.
