Summary: The Wonderful World of Wizards
Review: The Wonderful World of Wizards
Harry Potter and the Prisoner or Azkaban is the perfect follow up from the previous Harry Potter books. It updates you on what has happened in the other two books with out boring you with all the stuff you already know. J.K Rowling keeps you hanging and on the edge of your seat. It seems like the books keep getting better as you go.
Harry Potter is a young boy who is in his third year at Hogwarts, school for Witches and Wizards, while there trouble seems to find him in a million places. Harry is always getting into fights with his rival Draco Malfoy. Siris Black, a prisoner from the wizard jail, has escaped and is after Harry. Harry, however, doesn't want to go home to his "muggle" family, because they will not let him study witchcraft. Harry uses his dead fathers invisible cloak to get him in and out of trouble. Then just when Harry thinks he has figured out the mystery of his life, everything gets turned upside down.
This is my favorite so far out of the series. It tends to hit every emotion from sad, to scared, to happy. It will make you laugh and cry. It is a good book for any age. I think every one needs to go and read this book.

Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!
Review: There are so many ways to express how much I love this book- it's a shame that the limit on space is 1000 words. J.K. Rowling is an amazing writer. She stays true to her concepts, even when it would be so easy to go against the standing feel of her book. The Dementors of Azkaban were honestly and truly frightening and using a boggart as a teaching tool was also a stroke of genius. It would have been easy to have Professor Lupin stay on as a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, but, staying true to the flow of her stories, he didn't. The characters of Snape and Malfoy are truly despicable. The entire series so far is very well thought out and I can't wait for the next book!!!!!!!!

Summary: Really 4.9 stars.
Review: There is a lot of teriffic stuff in the book, and I found it tobe the good quality literature that we have come to expect fromRowling.This book only loses about 1/10 of a star from me because there is one section (only a page and a half or so) that is written in a rather confusing manner, so much so that I was a little confused about what was happening and who was involved. I had to read the passage about 4 times to get it down. Outside of that minor problem (certainally not one that should make anyone skip the book), this is another instant classic in the best series going today.

Summary: Slower paced, a bit less exciting than Book One and Two
Review: There is a lot to like about Harry Poter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. We are introduced to the school village of Hogsmeade and its delights--a pub, The Three Broomsticks and the sweet shop Honeydukes. Third year students get privileges such as being able to leave school grounds to visit the town, drink hot butterbeer and gorge on the witchy version of British sweets (hardly distinguishable from some of the regular squiffy confections they consider candy in that amusing country; a country that eats baked beans on toast, a pudding called Spotted Dog or coconut-frosted liquorice is only a penstroke away from Every Flavor Beans and that means EVERY.) Harry again faces a hereditary enemy, and the entire school faculty is up in arms to protect him and the rest from destruction. Unfortunately, the pace in this novel suffers, though the writing is amusing and as visually rich as ever. The "Knight Bus", the route by which Harry leaves his Muggle-relatives is delightful as are the Quidditch matches. But the plot seems to drag and this book doesn't quite have the drama of the other two. Still, Harry Potter fans won't be disappointed, because all the favorite themes are here; good against evil, and good old school spirit and fair play.

Summary: MAGICAL!
Review: There is only one word to describe the best book in the Harry Potter series, and that is MAGICAL! Great fun. I have read this book several times and each time i enjoy it even more. J.K. Rowling does a wonderfull job once again. If i could i would give this book 10 stars, (or more!)
A must read for anybody, but ofcourse read the first two.

Summary: Mystery readers will love Harry Potter.
Review: There's a reason the Harry Potter books are so popular with an adult audience--they're wonderful! And Jim Dale brings Harry's world to life in the audio versions--I pity readers who have ignored these outstanding tapes. Thankfully, they're unabridged. You won't want to miss a word. The third installment in the series is far and away the best (so far), full of surprises and twists. The first two books follow a pretty simple formula and felt like children's books--I was beginning to fear the entire series would follow the same predictable format. But Rowling's readers are growing older along with her protagonist, and the plot of this one is subsequently more sophisticated. Like the rest of the world, I am eager for the fourth book, but willing to wait the extra time for the audio version. Mystery readers should try this series--although the books are known as "fantasy" novels they are also cracker-jack mysteries, complete with clues, surprise revelations, and adventure. Those of you who are too embarassed to be caught reading a "children's" novel have probably also missed out the best fiction of C.S.Lewis and Madeline L'Engle. Don't deny yourself these literary pleasures!

Summary: Excellent!!
Review: There's no need for me to convince anyone that these books are wonderful, but I would like to point out that the true marvel of this phenomenon is that they are just *books*. There are no Harry Potter tie-ins, no movies, no Harry Potter action figures. I hope to always remember this --that in the last year of the technological century, people -- especially children --were so very excited about mere words on a page.

Summary: The Hardy Boys by Tolkien ? Absolutely grand!!!
Review: These "Harry Potter" books are so wonderful!! I couldn't put the books down. They are grandly imaginative, very well written and just fun. The values they display are good and sound. They combine what I loved to read when I was a child: Nancy Drew & Hardy Boy mysteries, Arabian Nights & all the classic old fairy tales. I'll read everything J. K. Rowling writes from now on. These books are in a class with Hans Christian Anderson, Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Frank Baum & Lewis Carroll. This is coming from a 54-yr-old who's been teaching for almost 30 years. I've been an avid reader since early childhood.
