Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

Age 9 and over

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third, and possibly the best, book in the phenomenally successful, award-winning Harry Potter series by JK Rowling.

After just about surviving yet another summer with the dreadful Dursleys, the arrival of Aunt Marge is the final straw and, in a fit of anger, Harry casts a spell on her, causing her to blow up like a balloon. He fully expects to be expelled from Hogwarts for his blatant flaunting of the rule not to use magic outside term time, but the arrival of the mysterious Knight Bus and a meeting with Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, result in Harry enjoying the rest of the holidays in the wonderful surroundings of the Leaky Cauldron.

Meanwhile Sirius Black--one-time friend of Harry's parents, implicated in their murder and follower of "You- Know-Who"--escapes from Azkaban and this has serious implications for Harry. Back at Hogwarts, Harry's movements are restricted by the presence of the Dementors--guards from Azkaban on the look out for Black.

Stephen Fry's endearingly snooty vocal chords are a perfect match for Rowling's superb storytelling, and Fry manages to give even further depth to a complex and absorbing plot by adding an irreverent wit and a deep-rooted touch of class to a compelling and magical tale that, once heard, will never be forgotten. Age 9 and over --Susan Harrison --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.



From Publishers Weekly

In this third installment in the projected seven-volume series, Sirius Black, imprisoned for killing 13 people with one curse, escapes from Azkaban. As he heads for Hogwarts, the chilling Dementors who trail him quickly descend upon the school. "Each successive volume expands upon its predecessor with dizzyingly well-planned plots and inventive surprises," said PW in a Best Books of 2001 citation. Ages 8-up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not what I'd normally read, Jul 16 2007
This review is from: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Hardcover)
I've held out for so long, being a die-hard fiction fan, refusing to read the Harry Potter books. I usually stick with bestsellers such as MIDDLESEX or even the ubiquitous DA VINCI CODE (which,if you haven't read ARE great) but now I'm hooked on the HP series. No wonder Rowling wrote so many as she was in love with her characters as much as we all are. Great fun and not at all what I'd expect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get Sirius!, Jun 15 2006
By Kona (Emerald City) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Paperback)
The third book in the Harry Potter series follows 13-year old Harry as he runs away from home and returns to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This year, the Minister of Magic himself is taking a personal interest in Harry's safety because Sirius Black (who was instrumental in the deaths of Harry's parents), has escaped from Azkaban wizard prison after muttering ominously, "HE'S at Hogwarts!"

The second half of the book concerns the days when Harry's parents were students at Hogwarts with Sirius Black, Severus Snape, and Remus Lupin, who happens to be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, and a wonderfully sympathetic character. With the help of his pals Ron and Hermione, Harry finally comes face to face with Black and learns what really happened to his parents. This is an exciting page-turner that HP fans will love.
