For twelve long years, the dread fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Convicted of killing thirteen people with a single curse, he was said to be the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort.
 
Now he has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter's defeat of You-Know-Who was Black's downfall as well. And the Azkaban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, "He's at Hogwarts . . . he's at Hogwarts."
 
Harry Potter isn't safe, not even within the walls of his magical school, surrounded by his friends. Because on top of it all, there may well be a traitor in their midst.

This book is my favorite out of all 8 books! J.K Rowling is the woman!

I like this book, and i like buckbeak

Very magical; full of excitement!

I always thought Harry Potter books were boring. But when I picked one up, I couldn't stop reading it! This specific book shows different emotions and different new characters where you learn new things about people. It was good, exciting, and immensely joyful!

This is my absolute very Harry Potter book. I fell in love with all of the charactes and events that happened. Amazing work and an amazing movie, too.

I love Harry Potter. And I think this is a great book. It's about Harry, Ron, and Hermione like always. Sirius Black is searching for Harry Potter is what people think but Sirius is going for somebody else... read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to find out!

Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban shows the not every criminal is bad, and not every criminal actually did something bad.

i love harry potter (which is obvious because of my username) i am almost done with the series. i am on the deathly hallows i want to watch the movies
