Harry Potter was famous because of an incident when he was a child. He grew up with a horrible family, the Dursleys. Soon he finds out he is a wizard. The books are the story of young, famous, Harry Potter and his adventures in Hogwarts with his best friends. The theme of the book is friendship and love is worth more than a million dollars. I recommend this book to anyone who loves adventure and friendship.

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 liked it because of Sirius Black turning to be Harry's godfather and gifting firebolts
I have read all of the Harry Potter books. When I was done with the books. I felt like the Harry Potter characters were my friends. I read the books a lot

WONDERFUL!
i know soo good
Harry Potter is so brave! he saved his godfather and defeated the dementors, he also saved Hagrid's creature Buckbeak. But I could not believe that he blew up his aunt, even if he is very angry, he shouldn't do magic outside the school especially to hurt someone who protects him from Voldemort.
Remember he can't control that whenever he gets mad or sad he does magic without knowing it at first anyways I love this book
The Harry Potter books have been full of 5-star suspense, and for it to continue- and become even better- is certainly an achievement authors can dream about but J.K. Rowling has snatched out of thin air. For starters, Harry thinks he's an outcast after accidentally blowing up his aunt, but that's the least unexpected thing in this book, which probably says a lot. When Harry Potter come into Hogwarts for the third time, he has defeated Voldemort 3 times. Which is the lucky number. But will his luck stretch... considering the brand new problem the author brings in...the Prisoner of Azkaban. Sirius blacks is convicted of killing 12 Muggles (non-wizards) and 1 wizard, and is held in Azkaban with dementors, which suck the good thoughts out of you. Breaking out of the prison is hard, but that's just what Sirius Black does. One thing is clear: He is after Harry Potter, the destroyer of his master and him. This time, Harry's not that lucky...
Harry blows Aunt Marge, Lupin is a wolf the rat's a man, a prisoner is at large, they use time travel to save the Prisoner of Askaban who just turns out to be Harry's Godfather I don't get it either... btw I heard this song on Youtube you can listen to the beginning and end of this on youtube.
