Work detailsHarry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J. K. Rowling (1999)
Enjoyed the book too. Especially like the ways the scenes with Buckbeak's execution were written. Rowling handled that excellently! ( )love This installment marks where Rowling really hits her stride with the series. Compared to this, the first two volumes feel sort of like a practice run. Still awesome and magical, but it isn't until book three that you really start to see where the series is headed. You see even more of that in book four... But we'll talk about that in my review for that one. I HATE Quidditch. If it wasn't for all the blasted Quidditch, it would have been a charming and good old fashioned story worthy of five stars. This was the best book of the seven in my opinion. What's odd is that the book just before it was my least favorite. I felt that the second book was simply a sequel for sequel's sake. This book however, with the introduction of Sirius Black and R.J. Lupin, was rich in new possible storylines and it really revived my interest in the series after the lackluster feel I was left with after book two.
All current reviews of Harry Potter books should probably be addressed to some future audience for whom Harry is book rather than phenomenon; at the moment, reviews seem superfluous. For the record, then, O future reader, this latest installment in Harry’s saga is quite a good book. So far, in terms of plot, the books do nothing very new, but they do it brilliantly Dragones y Monstruos Is contained inHarry Potter Box Set (Books 1-3) by J. K.

As it turns out, Harry isn't punished at all for his errant wizardry. Instead he is mysteriously rescued from his Muggle neighborhood and whisked off in a triple-decker, violently purple bus to spend the remaining weeks of summer in a friendly inn called the Leaky Cauldron. What Harry has to face as he begins his third year at Hogwarts explains why the officials let him off easily. It seems that Sirius Black--an escaped convict from the prison of Azkaban--is on the loose. Not only that, but he's after Harry Potter. But why? And why do the Dementors, the guards hired to protect him, chill Harry's very heart when others are unaffected? Once again, Rowling has created a mystery that will have children and adults cheering, not to mention standing in line for her next book. Fortunately, there are four more in the works.
