During Harry's third year at Hogwarts, he finds himself a danger from an escapee from the wizard prison Azkaban. Will this dangerous man find him? Another fun book with some surprises that up the overall story.

`

This is my second favorite Harry Potter book. I've probably read this book about 3 or 4 times since 4th grade when I first read it. Like all the other Harry Potter books, it's really hard to put down; I can read it for hours and not get bored.

`

This was just as good as the other books in the series. It amazes me that J.K Rowling can think of such complex plot lines that always seem to fit together perfectly. It was wonderful!

`

it was my favorite "harry potter " book ever cause it introduces the character of Serious Black

`

Okay, I know that most people think that the 5th book is the best. But I have to disagree the third book is the best because, we get to meet all the characters that will become so important in the story in the later books. And my favorite characters, like Sirus Black and Lupin. All of the characters become closer and Harry finally has some family. It may just be that my favorite characters on front and center in this book, Ms. Rowling I'm still upset that you killed them off. Also it shows that Snape love Lilly. Its one of the best book in the last decade.

`

My favorite of the whole series

`

The Prisoner of Azkaban was the book that really got me in to the series. The first two were great too, but this book had so much detail that made you think that every character is important and might be hiding something. It's just a great book!

`

If you have not read the books start with the first, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Harry has something new to worry about this year at Hogwarts. In addition to his grades and his performance in Quidditch Harry has to worry about a mass murderer who has broken out of the top wizard prison. Sirius Black is considered one of the most evil wizards alive and the wizarding community is in a panic. Harry isn't too concerned, after all Hogwarts is the safest place on earth. Black wouldn't be able to break in, would he? The third Harry Potter book has always been my favorite and is (IMHO) the only one deserving of five stars. While J.K. Rowling has created what may possibly be the most amazing fantasy world since Tolkin and has come up with captivating characters, her writing often leaves a bit to be desired. No so in this book.

I never read the Harry Potter series, though I saw all the movies, right when they came out. All my friends told me to read them. I waited, saw the movies, loved them. Then finally this year, I came across the books in my library. I decided that I would finally read the Harry Potter series. The third movie was never my favorite, but i adored the third book. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was my favorite book in the series. I realized that they left so much out of the movie. I got the whole back story of James Potters friends. There is so much that they did not include in the movie. I loved reading this series and I seriously recommend reading this series, especially the third book.

`

J.K.Rowling creates yet another work of art. This book is an original that will be cherished forever. A must read for anyone in search of adventure, hope, and a cast of characters that will stay with you forever.

`

I absolutely loved this book! I have been reading the Harry Potter books since the first grade, and I love them! I can't wait until the next one comes out. J.K. Rowling, you created a masterpiece!
