As a result, this is my favorite book in the series. It is very funny at points, and the story is very exciting. (  )1   mauveberry | Nov 1, 2009 |  It's the third year and there's a killer on the lose. Harry's godfather Sires Black. Every one thinks that Sires is the raesone why the Potters are dead. Help harry figure out if Sires is inisent or gillty. ( )1 littlebug | Oct 25, 2009 | You know, these Potter books are growing on me. Remarkably more show than tell as I get further in, and they are becoming more interesting. Maybe I didn't give JK enough credit - maybe it's intentional that the writing style becomes progressively more grown-up through the series....? (  )2 pauliharman | Oct 22, 2009 | For me, as for many others, this was my favorite in the series until Half-Blood Prince came out. It's just a fantastic, gripping storyline. Prisoner of Azkaban is also the point at which the series starts getting very serious and some of the characters that we had come to love begin to show character flaws, giving the whole story more depth. ( )1 ascgrrl | Oct 21, 2009 | Like every book in the J.K. Rowling series, this book was amazing. It was very descriptive and suspenseful. I have read the fifth, sixth, and seventh book but by reading this answered alot of my questions. I look forward to reading "The Goblet of Fire". (  )1 8H_bluephoenix | Oct 17, 2009 | 
 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
Amazon.com (ISBN 0439136350, Hardcover)For most children, summer vacation is something to look forward to. But not for our 13-year-old hero, who's forced to spend his summers with an aunt, uncle, and cousin who detest him. The third book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series catapults into action when the young wizard "accidentally" causes the Dursleys' dreadful visitor Aunt Marge to inflate like a monstrous balloon and drift up to the ceiling. Fearing punishment from Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon (and from officials at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who strictly forbid students to cast spells in the nonmagic world of Muggles), Harry lunges out into the darkness with his heavy trunk and his owl Hedwig.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.
