Review: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, a story about a teenage wizard who is attending a school called Hogswarts
School os Wichtcraft and Wizardy.
An escaped convict from Azkaban a wizard jail is after Harry or so he thinks.
Dementor's are gaurds at Azkaban, they are lifeless creatures that keep their face hidden. They suck the happiness and soul out of eveyone as punishment, also known as the dementor's kiss.
They are now stationed at every entrance into Hogwarts.
Sirius Black, the escaped convict is on the run. He is the supposed killer of thirteen people.
Now everyone thinks he is after Harry because while he was at Azkaban he continually keep muttering in his sleep ''He's at Hogwarts."
There is an enxpected twist in this story, therefore it is a mystery of what will happen next until the last few chapters of the book that keep you on the edge on you seat.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is a great book for third graders and above. I highly recommened this book to people who like magic and fantasy stories.

Summary: Raving for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Review: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by J.K. Rowling is the third novel in her entertaining fantasy series about Harry Potter, a teenage wizard and his encounters with the evil Lord
Voldemort. Being a new reader to the fantasy world, I was delightfully surprised. The vivid descriptions and enticingly fun characters make this novel and its series a must read for all young and old who enjoy the possibilities and illusions of magic. Harry Potter is not an intellectual book by any means, but it has a certain allure all its own. To be able to slip away and to envision a magical place like Hogwarts Castle with Harry, Ron, and Hermione is an experience. It's almost as if the story comes to life in your mind's eye and the magnitude of the experience is unforgettable.
I enjoyed this book so much after the first time I read it, that I reread it eight times in succession. The character flaws of Harry are endearing and create a sense of friendship between the reader and him. With both petty and insignificant conflict as well as tear-jerking and serious uproars, the novel keeps readers on their toes. After every time I read this particular book I tended to learn more and make my own impressions about what exactly this book mean and
represents. I think this book is very well written, and even though it is a fantasy book, J.K. Rowling throws real life in the mix of this novel to make it more real and therefore better.

Summary: Dark prisoner
Review: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, is the third book in the Harry Potter series (as if I had to tell you that). I've read the first book and seen the second movie, but I decided that I wanted to see what this phenomenon was all about for myself. As with the first book, I found Prisoner to be a thoroughly charming tale, filled with wonder, suspense, interesting writing and fun characters. It was a fitting sequel to the first two stories.First of all, Prisoner is the last of the "short" Harry Potter books (with the next two books weighing very hefty on the page scale), but its story doesn't seem to suffer at all. Rowling packs a lot of story into so few pages. The pace is fairly relentless. I think it does suffer a little bit, though, from the beginning. As with the first two stories, the Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia scenes seem a little pointless and tacked on. The sequence doesn't seem to have a lot of purpose other than to get the ball rolling. While they aren't bad scenes and I did enjoy them a little bit, I kept waiting for the action to start. I hope that they start getting development beyond the typical "snarky family who hates Harry for what he is and wants to keep him down" portrayal we've seen so far. But this book doesn't do it. Once things get started, though, the tale becomes much more interesting as Rowling adds to the rich background of the universe she's created. She keeps adding new things and characters to her world, and each one of them is intriguing. The story behind Sirius Black and what happened with Harry's parents is fascinating, and the twists and turns this particular story takes are particularly good. As events come to their conclusion, you're riveted to your seat as you want to find out what really happened (I read the last hundred pages in one night, staying up much too late). There is also a nice moral point for the kids (who are the primary audience for these books, despite them being wonderful books for adults too) where the correction of one injustice is used to correct another one as well. This makes a wonderful point about injustice and how one must fight against it, no matter who is perpetrating it. I found Hermione's story very predictable, though. I figured out what was going on with her the first time the question came up. Rowling does dovetail it nicely with the main story though, giving it a purpose rather than just showing how eccentric Hermione can be sometimes. I didn't like the antipathy between Hermione and Ron as much, though. I thought it was a bit overdone. I know it is realistic in the sense that kids can hold grudges over the most minor of things sometimes, but I didn't find it that pleasant to read about in this case. I had trouble seeing how Hermione couldn't understand that Ron was upset that her cat kept attacking his rat. At least the antipathy grew from their already established characters, so that was nice. Most of the other things they quarrel about are rules-related, and with Hermione being such a stickler for the rules and with the added pressure of her schedule, it is a bit understandable that there would be friction. The two new professors, Lupin and Trelawney, are a mixed bag. Lupin is wonderful, with an intriguing secret and an interesting interaction with Harry. He becomes almost like a mentor to him, and one starts to wonder if there are sinister motives behind it all. Lupin was also involved with Harry's parents, and the reader is left to wonder throughout the story whether or not Lupin is on the up and up. Telawney, on the other hand, I found dreadfully boring. The only thing of interest she did was predict Harry's imminent death, but every time she appeared on the page after that, I almost started snoring. She was annoying, too, with all of her "oh, I predicted that" statements. She got on my nerves after awhile, and I don't think Rowling did a good job characterizing her. She could have played an important part in the book, but Rowling drops the ball a little bit. Finally, the Dementors and the description of Azkaban prison are really well-done. The mystery behind them and their effect on Harry, the fear and awe they inspire in everybody, is just incredibly done. There is a real sense of menace with them, especially when Professor Dumbledore, the headmaster of the school, won't allow them on to school grounds. Harry really grows up when he ultimately has to face them. I don't think I'd want to see much more about them, but their presence in this book was extremely satisfying. These are supposed to be "the good guys," but they're more feared then Sirius Black, I think. That's what makes them interesting. I was a bit surprised at the tone of the book. It seemed pretty dark for a so-called children's book. I've been surprised by the first two stories as well, but this was even a little bit darker than those. Children are obviously lapping these books up, though, and apparently reading them and loving them, so I guess I'm wrong about that. If I had children though, I'd definitely want to make sure my children were ready for these before I gave them the books. However, on the upside, the "adult" writing makes it a wonderful story for all ages. If you enjoyed the first two, you can't go wrong with this one either. David Roy

Summary: Excellent hidden plot!
Review: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, though not the book that people often say as their favorite, was a thorough and well-written book. As many people look at the plot, they seem to think that it is not as intricate as the other Harry Potter books, it is actually one of the most well-plotted piece of literature today. Underneath the many layers of simplistic elements J.K. Rowling spread, there lies a plot very interwoven and story elements that seem to be invisible to the untrained eye. An excellent read for all ages!

Summary: A thrilling book, magical, yet somewhat creepy and haunting.
Review: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, was a magical fantasy,and a wonderfully written four-star book. But it was also a book you do not want to read before you go to bed. (Unless you want to wake up wth your heart thumping out of your chest). I think this was an entertaining book in which most of the excitement is in the end. However I did not like the begining. There was too much confusion with Aunt Marge blowing up, Uncle Vernon tries to get her down, the dog bites his leg, Harry escapes, sees something move in the alleyway, starts to panic, holds out his wand, and the Knight Bus comes and blah, blah, blah all the other confussion of the beginning. The rest of the book, however, is WONDERFULLY DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite part is when they reach Hogwarts. From then on I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Harry or Nothing!
Review: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, was the best book yet. Harry is no ordinary 13 year old boy, he is a wizard. This is his third year at Hogwarts. Hogwarts is not your ordinary school though; it is for whitchcraft and wizadry. But, this year might be more exciteing and dangerous than the last two years. Because a evil and powerful wizard named Sirus Black has escaped from the prison Azkaban, and he is out to get Harry; or is he? Ron and Hermoine, Harry's friends are trying to solve the mystery, but it is full of twists and turns. This is a book that everybody should read; it is full of fun and excitement. You won't be able to put the book down, because you don't know what Harry and his friends will find or do next!

Review: Harry Potter And the Prisoner of Azkaban
By J.K. Rowling Would you want to do magic? Well Harry Potter does! My favorite parts in the book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was when Harry and his friend Hermione saved Buckbeak and when Ron helped Harry save Serious. This book was so good that when I read the book it seemed like I already saw the movie! In the book Harry, Ron, and Hermione had a lot of problems, but the good thing is Harry won the quidtch cup! Serious is Harry's Godfather. Did he want to take Harry and kill him? Read the book and find out!
I think the Author shares how she likes magic and how she wants everyone else to enjoy it too!

Summary: ...reader from El Salvador
Review: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban From all the terrible monsters, to the Nimbus 2000, to the golden Snitch, The Harry Potter Series has been to me four of the seven greatest books I’ve ever read. All four books have caught my attention and kept me motivated all the way to the end, and I could never put it down. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, like all the other sequels has everything needed for a fabulous book.
Well, for Harry Potter his third year at Hogwarts is going normally. He goes to his classes, meets his friends, and fights of Malfoy, until one day there is a breaking news. Everything you heard inside the castle of Hogwarts was whispers saying “ Azkaban, Azkaban”. At dinner in Hogwarts, the headmaster Albus Dumbledore made the news official, a prisoner of the wizards prison “Azkaban” has escaped. Nobody has ever escaped from Azkaban, and he has been spotted near this area. Because of this Dumbledore announced “ you shall all remain within the walls of the castle”.
Within days everything is back to normal in the castle, but for Harry Potter its not. He has begun to receive unpleasant visits in which a mysterious person talks to him. The visits get more and more serious every time and finally Harry gets to know the true identity of the prisoner. Harry gets involved in his life and the amazing journey as he escapes from the officials. Will Harry get out alive?
J.K. Rowling is an amazing author. Her writing is loaded with similies, metaphors, imagery and irony. But the best of all maybe is that the characters all act like we would. They are brave and bold, do the impossible and always do the right thing. For me that and the description J.K. Rowling gives are the best parts of the book. I hope I’ve convinced you to reading the book, but the option of entering a magical world is yours.
