Summary: The third year at Hogwarts
Review: J.K.Rowling writes another fantastic fantacy novel called Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Kids nine and up should be able to read this book.
Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger return to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry for their third year of magical sudies, but this year has a twist. The Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is a werewolf! On top of that Harry's own godfather is suspected of trying to murder him , and Harry gets the newest racing broom. This year is going to be a little over the edge. This is my favorite Harry Potter book, It is very exciting. Clearly one of the best Harry Potter books J.K.Rowling has ever written.

Summary: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Review: Jacqueline Thomas January 8, 2003
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is about a young orphan who is a wizard. Harry is special because the Dark Lord killed his parents but he alone survived the attack. Fellow wizards know this young celebrity all over the world. He gets a letter to return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. That year Harry finds out he has a Godfather "Sirius Black" who is looking for him. Harry also finds out that Sirius is wanted to go to Azkaban, the wizard jail for murdering innocent people. Now everyone thinks that Sirius wants to kill Harry but they also know that he will be safe inside the walls of Hogwarts which are highly protected this year. "Did Sirius really kill people?" Harry wondered. When Sirius sends Harry a Quidditch broom for his birthday Harry knows there is something fishy going on. Read this book to figure out if Sirius is innocent or guilty and if Harry stays out of trouble or puts his life in danger. I give this book ten stars. It is my favorite Harry Potter book out of all the others. Recommended by a sixth grader at Villano Elementary

Summary: The Best One Yet.
Review: JK is great. The Prisoner of Azkaban is by far the best in the series, and I couldn't put the others down. I've read each of Harry's adventures to my children (7) and (8), and I'm not sure which of us loves them more. I found myself rushing home every night for a two week period and helping them with their homework just so we'd have time to read another chapter.

Summary: It just keeps getting better.
Review: JK Rowling and her magical creation, Harry Potter, just keep getting better. The first was great, the second was greater, but there was no chance that Harry Potter 3 could compete with them. In fact, it surpassed the first two. Harry Potter is growing along with its reader. Now 13, he's in his third year at Hogwarths. There is a chance that the book could settle down and become routine. But it doesn't. The Prisoner of Azkaban is a much darker novel than its predecessors. This book is menacing, terrifying. Kids of all ages will adore it. The plot concerns an escaped prisoner. A former ally of Harry's father, the prisoner betrayed James Potter and sided with You-know-who. Free from his awful imprisonment, the prisoner vows revenge on Harry Potter. To be fair, the book has weaknesses. It drags for a moment in the middle. It seems that Rowling is stalling before she delivers the requisite twist. And the time travel device secretly used by Hermione throughout was too predictable. Who didn't see it coming? Well, Harry and Ron didn't, but they were the only two, I presume. However, the book overcomes these weaknesses with its triumphant last act. It doesn't end with much of a battle like the previous two, instead the fight is very much a verbal one. Hopefully this trend will continue in the later books as it is a far more suspenseful device than a run-of-the-mill shootout. A lengthy conversation between the three kids and three adults (I won't tell you who!) irons out all the questions that the reader had. It also manages to inform Harry of some of his past. A major secret that explains plenty of James Potter's history is revealed near the conclusion. Let's hope Rowling has more backstory secrets lined up. It's riveting.

Summary: Harry's a Hero but He's Human
Review: JK Rowling has done it again - what a great read! This book has some scary bits, so perhaps not suitable for a bedtime story for very little children. As well, Harry lies to a teacher - not for a noble purpose, but so that he can get to a town where there's candy and toys. He feels remorse after the fact - but not because he's lied, but because he's used his dad's invisibility cloak to help him carry out his deception. It's best if parents read these books first and talk about them with their kids. Even though Harry is a hero, he's not a treacly sweet, 100% pure role model (which is probably why kids can relate to him).

Summary: Great book
Review: JK Rowling hit one out of the park, when she wrote book 3 of her outstanding Harry Potter series. I won't share the plot, as I'm sure all the editorial commentaries have already done so. But I will reccommend this book highly to skeptics and fans alike. Just remember to read the books in order, and I promise you'll be hooked.

Review: JK Rowling writes a beautiful novel again! 1st I read year 1 than 2 now 3 and I can't wait until 4, 5, 6, and 7 come out! Harry potter the underage-amazing wizard stikes again. Sirus Black the "deadly nice guy" Professor Lupin sick but cool never the less. My prediction is Dumbledore is Harry's dad or uncle or someone related to Harry, so is Minerva McGonall!

Summary: The greatest books i've ever read : Harry Potter Series !
Review: JK Rowling's imagination is the greatest ! no other words than "Great ! superb ! awesome !". I recommend anyone to read these books. and to DEMENTED SKYFISH : i think you're just jealous because you're incapable of writing such a nice book. if you're so smart, PROVE IT AND WRITE A GREATER BOOK (which i'm sure you are not capable). until then, I THINK YOU SHOULD SHUT YOUR MOUTH OFF !

Summary: EXCITING FABULOUS BOOK!
Review: Joanne K. Rowling did a wonderful job on all three books but I absolutley loved the 3rd book the best with all the suspense. I loved the part when she wrote about haw the dementors only affected Harry because of his past. I just can't wait for her next thrilling 5 star book to come out!
