Heptatonic means any scale with 7 notes. Diatonic scales are heptatonic, but they also have to have 5 whole steps and 2 half steps placed as far from each other as possible. The major and natural minor scales are 2 out of the 7 possible diatonic scales, but there are 792 (12! / 7! (12! - 7!) ) total possible heptatonic scales. You can play 7 of them on your harmonica (the diatonic ones), but probably each one only in a certain key.
