1) Hardcover Book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3) by Scholastic. Good, solid storytelling. Ms. Rowling´s third installment in the Harry Potter series continues to add interesting characters and create an even more appealing magical world for the reader to escape into. Each book has shown the gradual evolution of Harry from a neglected, abused child and mentored into a honorable young man. But the character-building journey is certainly a bumpy ride for young Potter. Moral messages and the complexities of the human condition abound as each new story has been introduced to the public. One of the underlying messages of the book is that most problems in life are not simply black and white, but more complicated. To convey this point in a fun, exciting manner is the sign of great writing. There´s real heart to this series and deserves a wide readership.¤ 2) Hardcover Book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3) by Scholastic. I read this a long time ago and recently read it again. It is so good. I love the way that for once voldemort is not the center of this and I love the way you hear about the Marauders. I just have like, the perfect picture in my mind of them. This is one of my favorites in the whole series.¤ 3) Hardcover Book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3) by Scholastic. Book 3 I´d say is the unofficial beginning of the series. Books 1 and 2 were amazing and did their job which was introduce the characters, explain their stories, and shed more light on the initial things that we needed to know. Well now, step in book 3 and here we are at the story where darkness starts creeping into Harry´s world. Where your mind is wandering as to who did what and where and why. Where the cute, childrens book turns into a story where you find yourself immersed in.
Use caution reading this, book 3 of 7, for this will be the chapter in the life of Harry Potter that will lunge its hook in you and refuse to let it go. It will plant a seed that will not be satisfied until you learn what are the Deathly Hallows.¤ 4) Hardcover Book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3) by Scholastic. I now have all the Harry Potter books on CD as well as in print. I love listening to them. The narrator is wonderful with the different voices for the characters. I admit I am quite familiar with the stories, to the point I can use them to focus on and let myself be read to sleep. I plan to share them with my grandchildren as they get old enough to enjoy them.¤ 5) Hardcover Book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3) by Scholastic. Harry does have family! A "crazy" god-father that he is completely unaware of having until this book. A great mystery book in the series. It will have you wanting more!¤ 6) Hardcover Book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3) by Scholastic. During his third year at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter must confront the devious and dangerous wizard responsible for his parents´ deaths.¤ 7) Hardcover Book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3) by Scholastic. 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.
