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.

I did enjoy this, but it's not my favorite. I gave it 4 stars because it needed some more action and suspense in it. I did enjoy that Sirius was in it and it part of the Harry Potter novels, but like I said. More action and suspense and I would have rated it 5 stars

The prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite Harry Potter book out of the ones that I have read.

Harry Potter is back at the place he loves best, Hogwarts. He's starting his third year but- there is a criminal on the loose. Sirius Black. People say that they say him kill 13 people at once and he's a loyal to Voldemort. People warn Harry not to go find Black, and Harry won't. Why would he? "Why would I go looking for someone that's trying to kill me?" Because of Black, dementors have been set up around the school. Dumbledore isn't happy about that, and after Harry experiences the dementors, he can see why. But... will he be safe? You'll have to read the book to find out!

this book is so cool because it has a plot twist at the end! it aslo gave me the thought to not judge things before we all know the truth.

This is a good book though it definitely wasn't my favourite in the Harry Potter Series. I am really sad that Sirius didn't get to be proved innocent!

This is such a great book and you should really read it. I would really recommend this to anyone 7+

ATTENTION! THIS IS A SPOILER! There is a killer on the lose and he is coming after Harry! Harry and his friends Hermione and Ron will discover the mystery again. Ron's rat Scabers......

it is amazing

Harry Potter's third year at Hogwarts starts off badly when he learns deranged killer Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban prison and is bent on murdering the teenage wizard. While Hermione's cat torments Ron's sickly rat, causing a rift among the trio, a swarm of nasty Dementors is sent to protect the school from Black. A mysterious new teacher helps Harry learn to defend himself, but what is his secret tie to Sirius Black? I was really suspicious about Black.
