Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban – J. K. Rowling
Harry Potter is having a tough time with his relatives (yet again). He runs away after using magic to blow Uncle Vernon’s sister Marge who was being offensive towards Harry’s parents. Initially scared for using magic outside the school, he is pleasantly surprised that he won’t be penalized after all. However, he soon learns that a dangerous criminal and Voldemort’s trusted aide Sirius Black has escaped from the Azkaban prison and wants to kill Harry to avenge the Dark Lord. To worsen the conditions for Harry, vile shape-shifters called Dementors are appointed to guard the school gates and inexplicably happen to have the most horrible effect on him. Little does Harry know that by the end of this year, many holes in his past (whatever he knows of it) will be filled up and he will have a clearer vision of what the future has in store…

Hi,
the book i am reviewing is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Once again Harry enters the world of Hogwarts but instead of Lord Voldemort’s threatening prescence it is escaped killer Sirius Black and sources are suggesting that he is out to kill Harry. As Harry moves through his third yera at Hogwarts he begins to unravel more to his own history than he originally thought and with help from friend Hermione he can once again save lives in an intense climax that never ends in its twists and turns. This book is another fantastic Harry Potter adventure and follows on from the previous novels. I suggest reading this to any age group as it is both appealing to kids and adults a like

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is another adventure filled with secrets, family and new beginnings.
Sirius Black has a escaped a viscious mass muderer, who is in league with Voldemort and everyone knows that he has one thing on his mind…Harry.
This is a great book filled with so many twist and turns.
Harry is at his third year and has come across Voldemort twice, can he deal with a murderer?
This is a greatly written book an I would recommend it to anyone.

Harry has run away becuase he had a fight with his aunt and uncle, (he blew up his uncle’s sister) after running away and having trouble with wizard busses harry finds himself back at hogwarts, with the knowledge that serial killer serious black is on the lose. through the book, I felt very sorry for harry, besides his friends, everyone treated him like an outcast. I mostly felt sorry for him when he found out that serious was his godfather. J.K Rowling really makes it feel like you are in the story with the characters. My favourite part of the book was at the end when he learns that his defence against the dark arts professor is a werewolf and serious is actually a good person. I love when they are at that lake and serious is very hurt and harry is trying to look after him, when lots of dementors come and suck the hapiness out of them. Then from across the lake the Harry from the future (becuase he and herminie went back in time to save serious from his trecherous fate) masters that big spell and all the demantors are forced to o away. I felt like jumping up and screamin ‘go Harry!0 I would definatly recommend this book, it is my favourite out of the Harry potter books. It’s way better then the movie.

Wow, I loved this book! Out of all the Harry Potter books this one is the best for me. My favourite part of the book was defiantly the bit when Sirius scares Ron in his sleep and Ron thinks he is so cool because everyone keeps coming up to him and asking about it and asking him to tell the story of what happened. My favourite character is a tie between Sirius Black and Severus Snape and Remus Lupin. Because Sirius Black just wants to find and help his long lost godchild Harry Potter and be a good role-model while on the run from the law, Remus Lupin is just a teacher that happens to be a werewolf and just wants to help Harry overcome the effect that the dementors have on him so he doesn’t get his soul sucked and Severus Snape is really a good guy who was in love with Harry’s mum and just wants to help Harry but he does have a funny way of showing it.
If I was going to relate to someone it would be Professor Snape because I guess he’s got to be cruel to be kind.
I would recommend this to anyone and everyone but only if they have read the first and second books.

This book is a great read for anyone who is into mystery, action and humour all joined together. Sirius Black escapes from wizard prison, Azkaban, and is out to find Peter Pettigrew who is the man that betrayed Lilly and James Potter the nightthey were murdered but everyoneb thinks that Pettigrew is dead. They also think that Sirius has escaped from Azkaban to find and kill Harry, so dementors- guarders of Azkaban- are sent to guard Hogwarts. Harry finds out the shocking truth about Sirius that he finds hard to accept. Harry is on a quest for truth. This book is way better then the movie so make sure you read it! But be warned because once you pick it up, you can’t put it down!

This is the third Harry Potter book and the series is starting to get really really good(Even better than before).
It’s once again about Harry, Ron and Hermiony, but this time there in their 3rd year. In this book Harry is in a lot of danger because Sirious Black has escaped from the wizard prison called Azkaban, and he’s ‘apparently’ coming after Harry. As people say Sirious Black way the man who led Harry’s greatest enemy (Voldemort) to his parents, and that was how they died. But as you would find out in the book Sirious isn’t the traitor it was someone else you wouldn’t even know was there. Harry finds out about how Sirious is his godfather and is the good man in the story, as he learns about his families past. Many new things happen in this book and it just makes it that much harder to stop reading.
Over all this book is amazing and everyone should have a chance to read the wonderful story of Harry Potter in his third year.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban .
I recommend this book for 10+, Because there are a lot of scary scenes, in this book.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is about Harry, Ron and Hermione (now teenagers) return to there 3rd year at Hogwarts, where they are forced to face escaped prisoner Sirius Black, who seems to pose a great threat to Harry.
This book is breath taking and is a good source if you are into Fantasy and Adventure.
This book might be long but is worth reading!!

The wizard world is under lock-down when they hear that dangerous criminal believed to be working beside Voldemort, Sirius Black, has escaped the wizard jail, Azkaban. How could anyone escape from magic and the dreaded death eaters that guard the prison? If Black is working with Voldemort, then he must be after Harry Potter. So, along with the rest of the Wizarding World, Hogwarts goes into lock-down too. Surrounded by death eaters and under the watchful eye of the trusted Albus Dumbledore, how does Harry manage to end up facing the vicious crimal? And who is he REALLY fighting to keep his life, and the lives of his loved ones?
The Prisoner of Azkaban keeps you thinking the whole time thanks to the fantastic writing from author J.K. Rowling.
Rated a defnite 9 out of 10 (and a 10 out of 10 for the movie)

I love this book because its interesting and when i started reading it I couldn’t put it down. My favourite character is Ron because he’s funny
. My least favourite part in the book is when there on the train and the dementors come, its kinda scary. I reckon you should read this book along with 1, 2, 4, 5 , 6 and 7.
