Work detailsHarry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J. K. Rowling (1999)
With Harry, Ron, and Hermione completely accustomed to and at home in the wizarding world it's no longer a suspension of disbelief - this magical world is one-hundred percent real. This is definitely the book in which the trio's undertakings take a darker turn, and, though Ron is laid out for a good portion of this book, it is still a wonderful read. (  ) frozenplums | May 3, 2013 |  I enjoyed this one much more than the other two, probably because it is slowly getting a bit darker. I wish I had read #1 and #2 when I was a kid, though. It would've been fantastic to grow up reading those books. Anyway, thanks to Rowling I've started referring to dull, unimaginative people as "Muggles". Suits them perfectly. ( ) Melhael | Apr 27, 2013 | The third book in the Harry Potter series, Prisoner of Azkaban is another great book to the series that students will enjoy. The book follows Harry as he saves his school and grows closer to friends and newly found "family". The book is very easy to read and has a wonderful plot, a great book to get students interested in reading. (  ) crfonten | Apr 26, 2013 | Sirius is easily my favourite Harry Potter character, and one of which we see so tragically little. I've never really been able to get into fanfiction, which might have assuaged some of pain surrounding my ill-focused favour, but alas. Anyway, this one's The One Where It All Gets A Bit Dark. I do like it an awful lot, not least for that heart-wrenching scene near the end where Sirius suggests Harry could come and live with him that leaves me greeting into my hanky (or the dog, whatever's nearest). However, my main memory associated with this is having recently rewatched the film and the horrible rendition of the "HE WAS THEIR FRIEND!" scene. Daniel Radcliffe's acting in that part is the stuff of nightmares. ( ) heterocephalusglaber | Apr 26, 2013 | I loved every book in this series! J.K Rowling really knows how to spin a good tale and keep readers of ALL ages wanting more! This is my favorite, favorite, FAVORITE book (and subsequently, movie) in the entire series. I love how it is in this book that things start to get dark and progress throughout the series. Plus, I love that things start looking up for Harry (family-wise). ( ) bereneezypie | Apr 26, 2013 |
 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 This would be an appropriate novel students can chose to read on there own. I will keep this in my classroom so the students can grab them at anytime of the year. Is contained inHarry Potter Box Set (Books 1-3) by J. K. Rowling Harry Potter Box Set (Books 1-4) 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.
