Seven magical stories, one epic adventure.
Praise for the Harry Potter books:

‘Spellbinding, enchanting, bewitching stuff.’ – Mirror

Harry discovers he has a godfather who has escaped from the wizarding prison Azkaban. Harry is led to believe that his godfather is an evil wizard who killed 13 people but learns that it wasn’t his father‘s best friend. Harry saves not only his godfather‘s life but also a wrongly accused hippogriff.
it is funny
It was weird when Harry and Hermione went back in time and saved Buckbeak and Black
Top tip read the books before watching the movie so then you have something to criticise
It’s very scary and funnny
My favourite Harry Potter book, but at least the day and the night bus made me really interested
Nice
Magical
Very good book!
My favourite character in the Harry Potter series is Ron.
I like how involved the author makes you feel and I want to keep reading to find out what happens next.
it was unexpected with fake deaths and secret family members
{godfather}
It is so exciting I can't wait to read the next book j.k rowlings books are just to good to put down
I love the bit where Harry saves Black and Buckbeak!
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is universally praised for successfully elevating the franchise. It shifts toward a darker, emotionally mature coming-of-age tone, introduces thrilling magical concepts like Dementors and Time-Turners, and features a brilliantly crafted, character-driven mystery about family and morality rather than just a straightforward fight against Voldemort.
It is fun to see how sirius escaped
Bye sirius
This book really intrigued me with the number of jump scares, especially with the Dementors. Also, I laughed so hard when the Marauder's Map started insulting Snape. My favourite character was surprisingly Sirius because of his ability to transform into a large dog. All the advantages of being an Animagus!
My favourite book!
I can’t believe I went through this book so quickly I didn’t want this to end
Sirius black is not that bad
Harry Potter, the beginning of my reading journey!
This is my favourite out of the series because of Sirius Black
I liked it when Harry learns how to work a potronus
in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, thirteen-year-old Harry learns that Sirius Black, a dangerous wizard, has escaped Azkaban prison to hunt him down.
It is a well thought out story but do not read unless you have read the ones before it
It was good.
Sirius Black was my favourite character. I loved it when Remus Lupin turned into a werewolf! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes exciting stories
I loved when Hermione punches Draco and harry got rid of all the dementors to save Sirius
I think that Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban is the BEST out of the whole series because prisoner of Azkaban has the most twists and turns in it like multiple and the Harry Potter characters have also slowly developed a little bit more into there teen era.
It was good and interesting.
This was very good although a bit scary in parts. I recommend this for 10+ age
