It's the start of Harry's third year and he's at the Dursley's again. This year there are no house elves with dire warning on his birthday and his letters come through but it's still shaping up to be an awful summer. Ron's off to Egypt with his family to see his eldest brother Bill and his Hogwarts letter arrives with a permission slip for Hogsmeade, the wizarding village near Hogwarts. Unfortunately his Aunt Marge is coming to stay and suffice it to say that her visit doesn't end well and Harry runs off. When he reaches the Leaky cauldron, thats in London, Hedwig is already waiting for him. A few days later he meets his friends there and the new school year starts with promise. Unfortunately for Harry there's an escaped mass murderer on the loose with dementors chasing him, so much for a quiet year. Why is he after Harry? Who is he? What does he really want? Find out all this an more in the third installment of the acclaimed Harry Potter series.
This book, these books, are brilliant and once you've read them you never go back. It's brilliantly written and the story is so wonderful, sad at parts I won't lie, but great. This installment, like it's predecessors, is so cleverly written it keeps you guessing with endless questions, who is the mysterious, Prisoner of Azkaban? didhe actually commit the crimes he was jailed for? If he was innocent why didn't Dumbledore do something?
You can probably tell I'm a huge Potterhead but if you've read the books and seen the movies, you understand...I highly recommend this book, and it's predecessors and once you read them you never see the world the same way, I promise you that.
As always you can recommend me books to read through Twitter or my blog here, even on Shelfari, until next time (sorry for the delay) keep reading, keep writing, and DFTBA!
