Harry Potter and the Prisnor of Azkaban

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
****
In J.K. Rowling's third book of the series, Harry Potter starts his year by magically inflating his aunt and takes the knight bus to the leaky cauldron. Ron and Hermione's friendship is braking up because of Hermione's new pet and Harry believes he keeps seeing death omens. A vicious wizarding killer that betrayed Harry's parents to Voldemort has broken out of Azkaban, the wizarding prison, and dementors are sent to guard Hogwarts and are after all of Harry's happy memories.
Its a pretty impressive start to the year but soon even more things go wrong. At Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry Harry takes on two new subjects; divination ,whose teacher is convinced that Harry could die any second, and care of magical creatures which is luckily being taught by Harry's friend Hagrid, but quickly goes wrong when Harry's rival, Malfoy, is trying to give Hagrid the sack.
At the end of the year Harry nearly reaches his limits when he comes face to face with the escaped prisoner of azkaban, Lord Voldemort's old servant and a werewolf. A prediction is made that states that Lord Voldemort will rise again and Harry fights about one hundred dementors who try to suck Harry's soul out. Will Harry survive to see his next birthday?
The prisoner of azkaban is very exiting and will make you want to never put the book down.

Nice write up of this book, Matthew. You mention the dementors, and I remember them so clearly. The description Rowling gave of them made it seem like they were some of the baddest guys I've ever encountered.

I read the whole Harry Potter series if you liked this book wait till you read the last. Also if you books with lots of magic and action read the Septimus Heap Series.
