During his third year at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter must confront the devious and dangerous wizard responsible for his parents' deaths.
Eucaliptus: It's not a fantasy but the atmosphere reminded me a lot the one in Harry Potter (especially in the story of the Marauders). However the first half of the book is very slow to read so you must have patience.
“I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.” ― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Maybe I'm being nit-picky but it's extremely strange how eager Harry is to go live with black (a complete stranger) minutes after hearing of his innocents.. Perhaps that is just my adult brain though.
Phenomenal ending, everything ties together beautifully ( )

nice to get another of these books down. It's also nice that the main character is aging. I didn't like reading the book when he was younger ~ although I thought it was great that the author kept the audience's age appropriate to the boy's age...but to read the series, it's a little more painful to start with reading kids books. I'm excited for the next one. ( )
All current reviews of Harry Potter books should probably be addressed to some future audience for whom Harry is book rather than phenomenon; at the moment, reviews seem superfluous. For the record, then, O future reader, this latest installment in Harry’s saga is quite a good book.

Harry Potter was a highly unusual boy in many ways.

And, grinning broadly at the look of horror on Uncle Vernon's face, Harry set off towards the station exit, Hedwig rattling along in front of him, for what looked like a much better summer than the last.

Book description
For twelve long years, the dread fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Convicted of killing thirteen people with a single curse, he was said to be the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort.
Now he has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter's defeat of You-Know-Who was Black's downfall as well. And the Azkaban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, "He's at Hogwarts . . . he's at Hogwarts."
Harry Potter isn't safe, not even within the walls of his magical school, surrounded by his friends. Because on top of it all, there may well be a traitor in their midst.
