Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter, Book 3)
Harry Potter #3
For Harry Potter, it’s the start of another far-from-ordinary year at Hogwarts when the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and comes to an abrupt halt in front of him.
It turns out that Sirius Black, mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, has escaped – and they say he is coming after Harry.
In his first Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry’s tea leaves.
And perhaps most frightening of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds with their soul-sucking kiss – in search of fresh victims.

I’m one of those rare folks who hasn’t read the entire Harry Potter series yet. I missed the boat when it came out for a variety of reasons (I was exclusively reading romance novels at that point, I wasn’t allowed to read Harry Potter due to the witchcraft content, and I thought it was just for kids and I didn’t fancy myself one of those anymore when I was in high school), but I did watch nearly all the films in the theatres growing up. Of course, HP is a phenomenon that will define children’s literature for a long while yet so I finally decided I ought to actually experience the series for myself. While I liked books 1 and 2, I think this is the one that made me more interested in the series as it showed more complexity in human relationships in the introduction of Sirius Black. His role within the universe and his relationship with Harry is something I look forward to seeing unfold in future books, and I particularly enjoyed the expanding magical aspects of what the students are learning at Hogwarts in this installment. The wisdom of Dumbledore continues to impress me and I like that Harry’s maturing and becoming the sort of person his parents had hoped despite their absence. All in all, I loved the growth shown in this book and look forward to seeing how it all continues...
The plot thickens though I felt a bit annoyed, mad, happy, proud and sad while reading this book. All in all, it's a good book and I still enjoyed reading it. ♥️
