Summary: Priceless...
Review: ...Yes, that's what this book is, priceless. Would that I could rate it five and-a-half stars instead of five. This book is the most humorous, and most sentimental of a series that is to consist of seven novels. The plot is centered around, (apart from, obviously Harry), a wizard who has escaped from wizard prison, and is convicted of having murdered thirteen people with a single curse. When thirteen year old Harry Potter finds out that Sirius Black supposedly escaped from wizard prison with the motive of killing him, Harry doesn't konw what to think. The plot in this book is far too good to be spoiled by a review, so I won't do so. This book contains excellent humor, and lots of good attention to the Weasely twins, and the pasts of Harry's parents. Look for creatures and spells not found in the first two books. even new classes. this book is part of a culture of fun and humor, coupled with thrilling suspense, and happy endings. Not too scary or strange for children, and also great reading for young adults and adults alike. Dont miss it; find out the secret of Fred and George's success, and experience that thrills of Divination when you read Harry Potter and the Prisoner Of Azkaban.

Summary: Pottermaniac, always!
Review: .
The Harry Potter novels are definitely THE best children's series collection ever. The Prisoner of Azkaban is yet another one of J K Rowling's masterpieces of modern literature ... and trust me, the later books are even better if you just luuurvve to read. The Goblet of Fire and The Order of The Pheonix, although quite daunting in size, never have a dull moment. They will lose you even more hours of sleep than this one, trust me!I shan't tell you what happpens in book 3 because lots of others may have given you a hint already. All I can say is that we find out just a little bit more about what happened to Harry's parents the night he was orphaned, and more importantly, why. Every character has something important to tell; "but was that the way it REALLY happened?", you'll be left wondering, still. Well, you'll never know until you reach the end! As an aspiring writer, I would just like to say a few words about what I think about the author also, pay a little homage, you know ..... J K Rowling is able to tell her story with perfect elegance all through. When you read Harry Potter the pages just turn and turn and turn, and you finish each chapter feeling gratified because every sentence is remembered, every one has aroused your senses, and you are left even keener to read on. The down to earth prose and dialougue she uses astounds me. From her first two books we know the characters so well we can sometimes predict how they will react or behave in a situation, yet as we learn more about the magical world of the non-muggles, we are still left utterly surprised by change. Suddenly, everything little and large detail makes sense because the plot is so solid, and not a single rock is left unturned. I think J K Rowling was born to write. Her imagination knows no boundaries, since she takes everything that is ordinary and, with the swiftest of sentences, turns it into something wonderfully but simply magical. Sometimes when she describes new magic to us, it's almost as if it should have been obvious to us in the first place; That's how well she writes! It's like a subtle wave of her magic wand. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is by far my favourite book because it is just right in quality and quantity, and considering all the oher books are amazing I'd say this one's ruddy good indeed! So what should you do now you've read this review.? Click on "go" and buy this book now!! (that's if you haven't already). Enjoy!

Summary: Never too old for Harry Potter
Review: JK Rowling has done it again, in the spellbinding mystery "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban". Harry's saga continues in his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft anf Wizardry. Things are a bit stranger then usual, cloaked figures roam the school, extra high security is placed on Harry, and Ron and Hermione won't speak to each other(Okay, so that's not SO unusual). In addition to that, more information about James & Lily Potter (Harry's late parents) is revealed. The third book is just as exciting and action packed as the first two books, it introduces three new major charcters and is a definite page-turner. Rowling's writing is only getting better! Kids and Adults of all ages will love Harry- trust me, I (13 yrs), my sister (10 yrs) and my dad just couldn't get enough of it! Don't wait for the paperback to come out, the hardcover will last longer as your family will enjoy reading it over and over again!

Summary: Books 1 and 2 were better
Review: A decent yarn, but too long in view of the haphazard character development. Struck me as being written in a rush. All significant action was crammmed into the final chapters.

Summary: A joyful adventure! A must read for grown-ups and kids.
Review: A fantastic book! Rowling sweeps you away on an adventure with a boy with a rough home life, but a newly discovered magical life. Rowling's descriptions are so vivid, it's hard not to get carried away in the adventure. Her imagery is breathtaking. From owls (who) deliver messages, to state of the art flying brooms, you almost forget it's just a story. But that is her greatest accomplishment. She takes us away from a sometimes weary world and adds a spark of wonder that both grown-ups and kids could use.

Review: A great book, and very very interesting, a real page turner if you ask me. also recomended: The Chamber of Secrets. Azkaban is not quite as dark, evil, and good as the second book, and the fourth, but it's a very close call, after all, these are the books that started it all, and this book is no less magical than the first two. It is quite as scary as The Chamber of Secrets, but in here you will find, scary walking things that look rather like scream or death, who kiss you, and suck the soul out, which does indeed sound creepy! Though hint hint, The bad person in this book, who you think is bad, is not bad, he is good. His name is mentioned throughout the book, but the main character, and not Harry, but the prisoner of Azkaban, is not really bad. Sorry if I brain-washed you. This is a great book, and I got through it in like----two days, or something. It is a very interesting read, and if you just started reading the sorcerer's stone, these books are great, and this is a very good sequel. Unlike any books, of course, Harry Potter is action packed with adventures, mystery, some sci-fi material at times, and an addicting storyline, that makes you want to give up the MUGGLE world, and join Hogwarts, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and the fun. This book is totally good, it lets you in on such good fantasy but when you least expect it, the storyline has a huge twist in it, and everything changes. I really like this book, it's a real book rollercoaster, that makes you want to read it over. Though this has a minor bit of witch-craft, it won't get into your system, even though, with Rowlings wild, and great imagination, it's hard to resist, and it makes you wish that you had a firebolt to play Quidditch on. Yet it is hard not to get totally obsessed, it's good to love a book so much, and start reading. The prisoner of Azkaban is so great for kids, and adults. I really recomend it to anyone who likes magic, fantasy, and someone who wants to give thier imagination a ride of a lifetime. All in All, this is a great book, and an awsome action packed story. This book has magic in every page, and it makes you feel the magical backgrounds of Hogwarts, and it is as if you are part of the magical world of Harry Potter. It really makes you feel as if you are truly there, and that you are no longer a muggle. This is such a good book, in fact I'm gonna re-read it for the fourth time.
Hope I helped,

Summary: Harry Potter book 3
Review: A great change of pace book. I would let my kids read Harry Potter before letting them listen to some of the music on the market today. A "GREAT' book. A good reading book as are all of the J.K. Rowling books.
