Harry Potter Prisoner Of Azkaban Free
Synopsis. Another thrilling year at Hogwarts is followed by yet another awful stay with the Dursleys. When he mistakenly casts a magic spell on one of their guests, Harry runs away and ends up spending the summer at the Leaky Cauldron Inn. His third year at Hogwarts brings more perilous adventures when an escaped convict tries to track him down. 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. For use in schools and libraries only.
After 10 miserable years with his aunt and uncle, Harry Potter is invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Each book follows another year in Harry's education while more of his frightening destiny is revealed.
Harry and Rowling come of age I would have to say that this book was a pivotal book not only in Harry Potter's life, but in JK Rowling's writing career as well. For Harry, his past begins to reveal itself and danger comes ever closer to his reluctant sanctuary (ie-the Dursley's residence). For Rowling, her stories are no longer stand alone mysteries that share a common location, but are part of a larger story. These changes are perfectly timed, as the 8th grade is a pivotal time.
It is at this age that children are in between true childhood but not quite yet a young adult. We see changes in Harry, Hermione and Ron that indicate the change.
For one, Draco becomes less of an enemy and more like a pest-problems that they used to have no longer seem to matter, or at least not as much. The spells that Harry and his f riends learn are likewise indicative of their maturity.
Harry is learns to cast a protective patronus years ahead of his peers, which shows that he has matured beyond his peers. Harry takes his last, irrevocable step into adulthood when he choses to spare the life of his parent's betrayer so he can stand trial. On the surface, Rowling does not 'sanitize' the book as much as she did with the other two, a trend that continues with the rest of the series. Some people say that Prisoner was the last 'children's' book and that Goblet of Fire begins her 'young adult' books. While I agree with that assessment, I also think that JK was having her books grow up as her children did.
We not only see character development in our heros, but in the writing style as well. But her level of writing maturity does not end there. Each of the first two books had a beginning, middle and end. Each book was self contained.

You could read Chamber of Secrets before Sorcerer's Stone and not miss much. Not so anymore. If you read any of the other books out of order, you could follow the plot but all the richness of her literary devices will not make sense to you. I think what truely sets JK Rowling as a master story teller is that this book does not suffer from the 'middle book funk'.
Too many book writers and movie produces use this excuse to cover their own laziness (sadly, too many people accept this excuse and keep wasting hard earned money on trash). JK is able to produce a good book by following the same success formula that Marvel and DC comics did-have complete endings for the sub-plots so the readers feel satisfied. Rowling gives us plenty of satisfaction: the innocent escape death, the betrayer's cover is blown, Harry earns the respect of the people needs to rely on in later books and preparations are being made, at least by some, for the storm that they now know will come. The greatest weakness I found was her assigning value and meaning to items from the first two books. When they were first written, these items were only described so much as to provide ambience. By retro-actively assigning significance to them, she created a feeling of artificialality that comes with forcing a plot device. This was corrected in later books and a much smoother flow will take place.
In short, Prisoner of Azkaban is a wonderfully writen transition book that takes Harry from being a child into adulthood and takes JK Rowling from being a great entertainer into a master storyteller.

Great 3rd book Anyone who enjoyed the first two Harry Potter books should also like Prisoner of Azkaban. It has an excellent plot with lots of fascinating new creatures and characters. The pacing is very good-fast moving but never confusing. Like most of the Harry Potter books, nothing is really as it seems and the ending twists in a completely unexpected way. There's lots of humor too. The only thing I didn't like (which annoys me in all the Harry Potter books save the first) is that the descriptions of characters are repeated and events from the first two books summarized again when they come up. There are many continuing plot and character threads from the first two books, and the Harry Potter series is clearly intended to be read in order from beginning to end, so I really don't feel this repetitio n is necessary (it's easy to skip over, though).
Speaking of the fact it's a series, don't buy this book if you haven't read the first two.
