The third book in the Harry Potter series. Sirius Black, an old friend of Lord Voldermort, has escaped from Azkaban, which is the prison for wizards. He is on the loose and dangerous. Even the muggle world knows Sirius Black has escaped from prison and is dangerous. Dementors, which are prison guards in the wizard world, are searching for Sirius.
Everyone seems to be nervous, even back at Hogwarts, but the school year goes on. Towards the end, Ron gets dragged towards the Whomping Willow. Harry and Hermione follow. Sirius is there, along with Professor Snape (Harry's nemesis) and Professor Lupin (Harry's friend). The crazy thing is some of these wizards can turn into animals. After a lot of talking, it turns out that Sirius is actually innocent and is in fact Harry's godfather. Harry and Hermione are able to travel back in time to help Sirius escape the Dementors and get away from Hogwarts.
The animal thing was a bit far-fetched for me, even for a magical world. Same with traveling back in time. With that being said, the book was still really good. The development of characters was good, the twist at the end was good. I'm excited to see what happens in the next book. I'm sure Sirius will make a comeback.
My rating for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: 4 stars out of 5. Get it here!
