EXCELLENT! It's a little bit different from the movie and it has a lot more information than the movie does as usual.

This is the third book in the Harry Potter series and this is th book where we meet Harry's godfather, Sirius Black. This book is just another awesome instalment of the epic Harry Potter series.

My favorite Potter book. It's a kids book but still deals with adult themes. And I adore Sirius Black. The plot twist actually caused me to cry out in suprise during the long car trip I was reading it on. It really caught me.

I think just seeing that is is Harry Potter is enough said! I Love all of these books so very much! This is the book that we are introduced to Sirius and Buckbeak, that is enough for me! I hope everyone enjoys this book as much as I have.

Another great read.

Like most of the series this addition was a delight to read. Harry is confronted with truths from his past and is forced to confront his own fears. I do think that the movie screen play did a little better job of condensing some things from this book. But in all, an excellent read. [close]

I'm on my third trip through the series. I love the detail and little bits of information that you get from the books. Prisoner of Azkaban is probably my favorite Potter book in the series. I love the idea of Hogsmeade. The movie was good, but compared to the book, doesn't do it justice in my opinon.

New characters in this Harry Potter book continue to excite the reader. This is a very good book. Love this series.

Third Harry Potter book. Not my favorite. But it is the introduction to my fave Potter Character Sirius Black. Ooo What a scary name! lol. Well aside from, for some people, rather confusing time travel. Its a good book.
