‘Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. Just stick out your wand hand, step on board and we can take you anywhere you want to go.'

When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it's the start of another far from ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea leaves... But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds, with their soul-sucking kiss.

Having become classics of our time, the Harry Potter stories never fail to bring comfort and escapism. With their message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new listeners.

If you have a stressful job like me where you can't relax

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2016

I'm 46 and male who works out and thinks he's macho and I've read this book 4 times. If you have a stressful job like me where you can't relax, read the HP books. They put you in a fantasy world and JK Rowling's storytelling is so unbelievable and descriptive, she's the best. I got this series for my father after my mother passed away. They were married 69 years and he was grieving. This is not his kind of book but after reminding him how much my mother loved them, he agreed to read them and agrees it puts him in another world and helps him gain peace.

Harry Potter!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

So this is the third HP book and.... IT IS VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY GOOD!!!!!!!!
I have read the first two plus this one so far and this one might be my favotite. Suprisingly it is NOT as intense as the first two. There is no monster type things like Fluff and the viper, and there is not really any violence either. The only scary characters in here are the demontores (who are gaurds and ghost type creatures at Azkaban and at Hogwarts-yeah....and are not THAT scary, but sometimes they do something to Harry….) And Sirus Black, (who is the 'Prisoner of Azkaban') but then -spoiler alert!- he actually turns out good in the end and it was a misunderstanding senario and is Harry's godfather!

Yup so that's about it, but I would recomend being 10 or older before reading this series, (unless your an advanced reader:) ) some of it might just be to confusing and there is alot of action and SOME violence... just something to consider.

If you LOVE this series as much as I do, then may I, Shannon Messenger, also recommend the Keeper of the Lost Cities series, (which is like my absolutely favorite series besides Harry Potter, obviously.) :) :) :)

My favorite book in the series! (SPOILER ALERT!!!)

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

I love all of the Harry Potter novels, but this one is by far my favorite! From the very first time I read it as a 7 year old (when the book first came out in 1999) I loved the change of pace from the other books in the series - for once, Lord Voldemort is not the main antagonist, and instead it's Sirius Black - or at least so we think! The ending contains one of the biggest plot twists in the entire series, and it's ultimately less about fighting evil and more about finding family and belonging.

This purchase was actually a replacement - as my first edition copy had been read so many times by me, my sister, and my parents, that the binding was pretty much destroyed and the pages quite stained (because obviously putting the book away during lunchtime is not an option for 7-12 year old Potterheads)

Fantasy At Its Finest 🧙‍♂️

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2020

So much has been written about Harry Potter from books, movies, music, actors, games, etc... I have seen every Harry Potter movie. This is my first read of a Harry Potter book. It will not be my last. I completely enjoyed the tower, castle, and all things Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. The competition between the different teams, gryffindor, hufflepuff, and slytherin was very captivating. It was not only competition in sports but in civility as students and good wizards. The bond of friendship between Ron, Hermione, and Harry withstands secrets and the lost of a prize pet. As adolescences trust is most revered. Hagrid becomes an integral part of the story that teaches about government bureaucracy and the injustices the system can produce.

It was a wonderful telling of a young boy, Harry, remembering and defending the memory of his parents. Never doubting their love. Founding out the truth about the the real villain, Lord Voldemort, and his followers in the death of his parents lead Harry to confront his real fears. He did have a family who was not died and who truly wanted him to be happy. A very good read.

Quotes:

When Harry relieved this owl of its burden, it ruffled its feathers importantly, stretched its wings, and took off through the window into the night.

Never trust anything that can think for itself, if you can't see where it keeps its brain.

"Now, Snape," said Fudge, startled, "the young lady is disturbed in her mind, we must make allowances----"

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good"

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2021

This is probably my 3rd or 4th re-read of this book but the first in eBook format.

This is a great story. J.K. Rowling does a great job of weaving many threads together to create a cohesive plot: Hermione's class load and her cat Crookshanks, Buckbeak the hippogriff, Professor Trelawney's Divination class, visits to Hogsmeade, the Shrieking Shack, the Fat Lady vs. Sir Cagodan, Gryffindor winning the Quidditch Cup, a new spell: the Patronus charm, a new wizardly widget: the Marauder's Map ("I solemnly swear that I am up to no good"), Sirius Black and the dementors, the historical background of James Potter, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin, the bitterness of Severus Snape, and that "rat" Peter Pettigrew. Also, Harry learns that he has a godfather (not in the Corsican sense).

This novel did not have a major "boss battle" with "He who shall not be named" (okay, Voldemort).

All in all, a great novel. I'm looking forward to the next one (again a re-read).

Love it!

POA & HBP are my favorite books in the series, and it's genuinely so fun to listen along to Jim's narration. They were the first two I bought so I could enjoy HP since I'm without my books, and he does a fantastic job with the voice changes. For as many times as I've read these books, I still react along with the story. If you love HP and are looking to enjoy them while walking around or getting ready for bed, definitely grab his narrated versions.

In my opinion, whether you're twelve or twenty two, I highly recommend them!!

Reviewed in India on October 12, 2018

As always with Rowling's books, I loved Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! JK Rowling's words have a curious habit of coming to life, and her characters are funny, and realistic. One of the greatest things about Harry Potter, is that they improve with each book, and you can clearly glimpse the clever, intricate plot Rowling has wove, with cleverly placed foreshadowing and seemingly innocent hints.

A much darker story but a fabulous read with a little something for everyone

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

In this book, as Harry approaches adolescence the tone changes. And we get a more interesting, but also more complex and darker story.

Unlike the static characters in other books or series, Harry is getting older, and getting less stable emotionally. The book still appeals to both children and adults but it involves some horror creatures, Dementors and there is lot of focus on Harry’s parents' deaths.

The great thing for children is that the familiar, relatable characters are being brought to life and come across as very realistic. Harry’s friendship with Ron and Hermione takes a different direction in this instalment. Hermione is being forced to make tough choices that impact Harry but Ron in particular. With who she is in constant disagreement. But the book also has an exceptionally strong set of secondary characters like Professor Lupin, the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, a great new character that hides a big hairy secret. Then there is Professor Trelawney for Divination studies. While Hagrid displays his love of all magical creatures. Professor Snape remains enigmatic so that you continue to question his true motives. Cedric Diggory and Cho Chang, who play important roles in later books of the series are introduced as well

The book has are many fun, unexpected and exciting plot points. Many elements in this story are not what they appear at first sight, take for example Sirius Black a prison escapee, who is believed to have betrayed Harry’s parents. The mystery of Lord Voldemort murder of Harry's parents is increasingly central and new details are revealed. And the climax was exhilarating and intense.

Our daughter had to be forced to put the book down. And when pushed for favourites, Prisoner of Azkaban is her favourite Harry Potter book, if not among all the books she has read.

Original harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban 1999. Used hardback copy is as discribed and although edges are yellowed, however all pages and text are clearly readable and intact and there is NO damage at all. Fantastic buy for £2.99 from seller Britbooks LTD.

Third installment of the Harry Potter Series, Harry along with friends Ron and Hermione start their third year at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Who knows what will happen this year as a notoriously dark wizard has escaped from azkaban and is making his way to Hogwarts...but why? And for who?

The book arrived next day good packaged (as amazon usually do).
In this review I will not be saying about the story, it is definetely amazing without doubts. I read the story years ago and now my 7 years old enjoy reading the book.
The book's quality is good, my little one give the book to her friend after she finished, and the book still was in very good condition. It is slightly boring for the little kids though as there are no any illustration ))
Thank you!

Magic Moments

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 10, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is the third instalment as I attempt to read this so-called modern classic. I watched the first three or four films as they came out but abandoned reading the books after reading the first one twenty years ago. I was advised to persevere with them and that by the third one I would see what it was all about. This was easily better than the first two and I have begun to warm to the characters especially Ron and Hermione. The plot was also more complex than the first two and I felt it became a page turner towards the end which I hadn’t experienced with the first two.

I will continue and expect further rewards in the final four books. There is a whole universe in here which is admirable. If I am honest compared to Lord of the Rings there is no comparison in terms of the wonder contained. I may change my mind by book 7 . However, this is a huge step up from the first two. We will see.
