Rating:7/10Harry's ongoing exploits, along with those of his contemporaries, teachers, and relatives, are as imaginative, entertaining, and mysterious as ever. For during Harry's third year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he must face his greatest challenge yet: a confrontation with Sirius Black, an escaped convict and madman who is rumored to be collaborating with Harry's archenemy, the Dark Wizard Lord Voldemort.
Summary by Goodreads.com
An Interesting and worthy sequel to the Chamber of Secrets, the Prisoner of Azkaban makes for another whimsical and charming story. A pleasant, casual escape for older readers and a thrilling saga for younger teens. Definitely a book that can appeal to all ages. Personally however I found that with the movie interpretation of the series, the characters of the books in their younger ages seem naive and unco-ordinated in comparison making what would be normal events unnecessarily haphazard and erratic. Hermione in particular had been cast in an unfortunate temperamental role causing the reader to see her in a bad light that I felt wasn't all together deserved.
Good Points:
- Appeals to all ages, a nice yet interesting and colourful world.
- Page turning, yet comfortably paced.
Bad Points:
- More disarray with Hermione's character.
- Characters can be a little frustrating and slow.
Buy/Borrow /Avoid:
Buy, a nice book for the collection, despite small misconceptions caused by movie.
