Summary: Harry Potter strikes again!
Review: I didnt think it was possible, but the third Harry Potter ( the prisoner of azkaban)was even better than the first two! In this book the plot is more complex and the characters are more developed. This book is almost impossible to put down, (especially when you reach the end.) I cant wait for the fourth book to come out!

Summary: getting thin
Review: i do love these potter books but now i kinda see why they seem to be appealing to children .the first couple of chapters are like the first couple of days of school that you spend the first few days i.e first few chapters reviewing what you have already learned.second if the aunt and uncle detest harry so bad why do they keep letting him come back for the summer can't harry live somewhere else.i got bored with this book and figured out what was not supposed to be figured till the end almost at the beginning at the book.it was good but sad and should have ended better kinda left me with this lingering question for a boy so extordinary why is it that he is forced to be so ordinary that is almost what people wanna get a way from to read a book where you have the power to be yourself EVERYWHERE and not in the confined spaces that define harry's character,but over all it is a great motivator and it is a book my brother has read....a great accomplishment believe me! .

Summary: this book is not evil
Review: I do not understand why so many people object to Rowling using magic and sorcery in her stories. Don't they remember Jack and his magic beans, Cinderella's fairy godmother, snow white and her wicked stepmother, sleeping beauty and her curse....children's stories have always contained an element of magic and fantasy. Lighten up!

Summary: The best book of the series!
Review: I don't agree with people who say "These HP books don't have any depth because they are kids' books." Not true. Every person and every age gets something different out of it. There are many subplots and things that are concealed. They are great and I can read them over and over again. This book is the best because of LUPIN. :)

Summary: Best of the Harry potters yet!!!!!
Review: I don't know how J.K Rowling does it but she is the best writer ever! She draws you into the story and Harry is just the best character for what she writes about(Even though I don't think of Harry as a character, I think of him as a real person). If you have not read this book you must because it is a MUST. From, J.K Rowlings faithful fan

Summary: An Amazing Book One of the Best Ive Ever Read
Review: I don't like reading that much compared to other things, but when I read Harry Potter books I just cant seem to stop reading. J.K. Rowling books are awesome! Her descriptive writing takes you to another world. The style of her writing is what I like the most. She is wonderful at writing Sci-Fi books. With all her descriptions reading her book is like watching a movie. She also ties the real world in with the magical world. All the problems that we have in society and the problem kids have in school these days are in the magical world as well. Her writing also shows the good, bad, and the evil of the world. She basically is explaining the right way to live your life. I recommend this book to everyone. It gives you a laugh and makes you want to scream at the characters and tell them what was going to happen. The intensity of the of the events glues you to the pages waiting to find out what's going to happen next. If you want to read a book that will make you happy on a gloomy day and take you to another world full of enchantment then, read Harry Potter books they do just that!

Summary: Buy It - Read It - Enjoy It (Even If You Are a "GROWNUP")
Review: I don't need to tell you about the storyline (you can read the abstract above). And if you are looking at this book, chances are you've already read #1 and #2. You don't need to know that you'll enjoy the book if you've already gotten this far. But if you are just another "adult" who is trying to decide whether to buy a CHILDREN'S book... Get it for them -- it's a fun read. But don't neglect reading it yourself. You'll be doing yourself a favor -- it's a FUN read and sheesh, when was the last time you really ENJOYED the book you bought?

Summary: I absolutely love these books!...Too bad they're so short...
Review: I don't normally read "children's books," but I have always had a soft spot for fantasy, my favorite genre (particularly books involving magic and talking mice, for some reason). I had never intended to ready any of the Harry Potter books, but my mother, acting on a whim, bought the first two volumes for me, saying that they were very popular. The books sat unread in my room for weeks, until late one Wednesday night, when I read both books, finishing at 3 AM, and neglecting to translate my Cicero assignment. The books were great! I immediately bought the 3rd installment, which I read immediately that afternoon. I find it easy to identify with Harry Potter, who reminds me of myself sometimes. Particularly, I enjoy references to Latin in the books (such as the first example, caput draconis, head of Draco, in book 1.) The twisted plot at the end of Prisoner of Azkaban intrigued me, compelling me to read the last few chapters multiple times to fully grasp all of it winding lines. The Prisoner of Azkaban took a step away from what I view as the first and second books' major fallacy: the repetitive plot line. Potter has a bad time with his family, goes to school, has trouble with a permutation of Voldemort, defeats Voldemort, and gets congratulated by everbody, helping his house win the Cup. Blah Blah Blah. The third book remediated this problem, since it wasn't clear who the villan was until the very end. My larges gripe with the Harry Potter books is now length. I read the books in a little over two hours each. Its rather torturous to wait for weeks on end for two hours of enjoyment. I wish the Harry Potter books could be more like the books of Ayn Rand in that area: enjoyable and interesting, but abysmally long. (My average reading time for Atlas Shrugged is surpassed only by War and Peace...snore...snore...) To end on a positive note, I am happy to award my five stars to "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" in appreciation to Rowlings' correction of some of the problems with the first books and my opinion that the Harry Potter books are VERY ENJOYABLE! I dread what will happen after the seventh book, when Harry has graduated from school. Will he be a professor, or set out on his own? Or Rowling just (sob! sob! sob!) terminate the series? I fervently hope the books will never be lost to that extreme! (If you have read my whole spiel, I thank you very much for hearing me out and not averting your gaze in disgust, boredom, outright anger or whatever else my review might drive you to.

Summary: Harry Rocks!
Review: I don't think i could right everything good about this book with a max of 1,000 words, so I'll try to shorten it. THIS IS THE BEST BOOK! I am 11 and I have read al three so far, and each one is better than the one it came after! It just gets more and more interesting. I feel sorry for anybody who did not like this book, because they were missing out on a lot of good reading. My friend goes to a Christian school, and they banned Harry Potter. Why would kids get inspired to do bad stuff by this book? It makes me mad! All I was inspired to do is read more! I stayed up sooo late with this book. I got the first one from the library, and I just begged my mom to buy me it. That is how good all the Harry Potter books are, but Prisoner Of Azkaban is my favorite. If you like fantasy and wizardry, you will love this book.
