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 really stood out to me. I have read all seven books and watched all 8 movies (If you have not seen the movies and are asking why there is 8, please don't ask) This one was the most happiest, and the only "Dark scene" was near the end with the werewolf fight. Professor Lupin was FANTASTIC. He is so nice, and the Bogart scene was HILARIOUS. Also the scene with the hipogriff (I forget his name) when they are flying was so epic. I would TOTALLY recommend this book, but if you want to actually see the visual of the story, I would recommend the movie.

I just started, but the beginning is awesome! I have read the first and second book but this might be so awesome!!! J.K Rowling is the best author ever!

I keep adding this book after it's already added, it's that good!

For awhile I thought this was the best book in the series. Here you will meet Serius, who is one important guy!

My favorite in the whole series. Love all the action. I have to say I haven't read the 5,6, or 7 but out of all the ones I've read this is my favorite.

I've read 1,2,3,4, and I'm working on 5.

I love this book.It is awesome. Anyone who is looking for fun and adventure should definitely read this amazing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I just finished it and dying for more

THIS IS MY FAVORITE ONE because it has my favorite characters my favorite one is serius black.

This book was amazing just like the rest of the series, new spells, teachers, plot twist, but don't get bored by the intro. You'll dive into Harry's world and most likely get addicted like I did. Don't give up on reading it if you get bored, because with all JK Rowling books it gets better.
