Summary: Harry Potter; They Just Get Better
Review: I've read the first three Harry Potter books, and I am currently reading the fourth. After reading the first and second books,I wondered how the next books could possibly live up to the first ones. After reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, I found out that they could easily be as good as the first ones. The third one is easily my favorite, and J.K. Rowling ceases to amaze me with her unique style and creative ideas (ones that I myself would never be able to create). This book is Harry's third year at Hogwarts, and he couldn't wait to get back. The Dursley's continue to make his life as hard as possible, and he soon storms out of the house, walking the streets alone. He hears of the mass murderer, Sirius Black, and his escape from Azkaban. As Harry is staying at the Leaky Cauldron, he learns from Mr. and Mrs. Weasly that Sirius is out to kill Harry since Sirius was Lord Voldemort's sidekick, and Harry brought his downfall. The book continues through his life at Hogwarts, the Quidditch Cup, and Harry's troubles with the dementors (guardians of Azkaban). Harry, Ron, and Hermione manage to get themselves into exciting adventures, and learn startling truths about things. The surprises are great and many, to say the least, and you're in for a treat.

Review: I've read the first two Harry Potter books, and like all Harry Potter fans I decided to read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.This Harry Potter book was extremly well written and it was just as exciting as the first two. I was hooked to this book just like I was hooked to the first book and the second book. A must read for Harry Potter fans. ;>

Summary: This book is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Review: I've read this book plus the two sequels and they are all spectacular. JKRowling really has a taste for fantasy. I don't think I could chose which book I liked best but this book is definitely worth reading. I read it in 5hrs. straight. Even if I weren't a book worm, I wouldn't be able to put it down. Buy it!

Summary: Incredible book for all Ages !
Review: I've read this book, and was completely awestruck (as I was with the rest of the series)! The detail and plot is amazing. You definitely won't be able to put this book down. Many people might hear about the witches and wizards and say, "Oh, it's a 3rd grader book." It's not. The storyline is so involved that there's a scope for readers of all ages (same with the rest of the series). I highly reccommend this book for anyone looking for a treat!

Summary: worth the Chore of reading the first two
Review: I've reviewed the first one: didn't think it was that great (3). I then read the second one which was good, but questionable for younger readers. (The explicit death threats) (2). Now I've read the third book, and I feel well-rewarded for trudging through the first two books. It was not cookie cutter, as I had expected when Chamber of Secrets copied Sorceror's Stone. I enjoyed reading this book and reading the little inside jokes that are starting to pop up, having read the first two. I like that they get a little older, maybe a little wiser.... maybe not. :) There are moments when I, like Hermione, just wanted to smack Harry silly for being reckless, like she did with Malfoy. And I thought the sub-plot with Buckbeak and Hagrid's class was poor. I very much enjoyed Lupin and Black. Here are some spoilers: The end of the book when things finally get explained are a little TOO overly vague. I appreciate the author trying to keep us in the dark, but Moony & Padfoot talking in half-sentences and improper nouns about Wormtail were confusing. I had to go back to read it again to understand it, and you aren't given any chances to guess the mystery for yourself. Also, I'm now very curious. I'd like to see more of the characters, I am waiting for Harry to be able to go and live with Padfoot, and escape the Dursleys. I expect Snape should be teaching Defense against Dark Arts soon enough, I don't want it to be a recurring joke that no teacher ever stays more than a year, I think Remus should come back to teach that class, he was everyone's favorite class. The new owl sounds cute, I'm looking forward to that. This should get interesting as it unrolls. Hope I was sufficiently vague to the non-initiated and clear enough for those who have read it! :)

Summary: If you have any taste, you will read this book & love it
Review: I, as well as many of my colleagues have read this book and relished it's exact essence of England. It, in my opinion, is the better of the three books in the trilogy. After reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, I thought that Rowling was sliding downhill, but Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban has reprimanded me. I am breathlessly waiting for the next book to come out.

Summary: The best yet!
Review: I, like many others, couldn't wait for #3 and so ordered it from the UK! Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the best of the series so far! This one will REALLY leave you anxious to find out what happens next!

Summary: You'll love this book forever!
Review: I, like several other reviewers picked up this book to see what all the fuss was about. I'm sorry to say that I had forgotten that childrens books are not just for kids, they are for everyone. I couldn't stop reading once I started. I, like the right on reviewer from N.C., stayed up late into the night reading and reading. THESE BOOKS ARE ANYTHING BUT EVIL! They picked my mind off the dirty floors of high school and gave it new reason to imagine. I hope this is a healthy addiction... Does anyone know any information on the next book, other than there will undoubtably be seven. E-mail me. Do yourself a favor, run to your nearest bookstore and BUY THESE BOOKS! Thank you always Rowling!

Summary: BEST BOOK EVER, HARRY POTTER BOOKS ARE THE BEST!
Review: I.....can't......control....... myself! This book is TOOOOO good to be true. I'm finished with the third book and now i'm waiting for the fourth book to come in July 8, 2000. I wrote another review on the second book but I can't find it anywhere! Anyway, I think the Harry Potter books should become classics! I mean, I want this book to have 1 million stars. But I can't since Amazon.com only has 5. I can't believe there's going to be a Harry Potter movie! I'm going to be the first one at the movies if they do put it in the movie theater. Let me tell you what the book has... first of all it has the main character...Harry Potter, which is a wizard. He goes to Hogwarts, the school for Witchcraft and Wizardy. He gets to ride on a hippogriff, he gets to cast spells, he gets to meet the dementors,he gets to play Quittditch, and much more. It's not your normal fantasy, you'll never put the book down. Soon I will be making a review to let adults know what the book is about and if they think this a perfect book for their child.
