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 love the way the story slowly reveals who Sirius Black actually is and why he was imprisoned. Complex characters are so interesting and it's so important that every criminal has a story!
J.K Rowlings description is absolutely unbelievable. "Harry Potter" is a tapestry of words and spaces and ink, conglomerating into a sensory masterpiece. The book follows a boy named Harry Potter, in such a horrible state he lives under the stairs. He's treated so poorly, and one day a letter arrives. He get's enrolled into a magic school, such called "Hogwarts". Everything is fine, until he meets Draco Malfoy, and many more villans. Through out the story, he is faced with many problems in the series. But there is good problems too. He meets Hermione, Ron, and many more astonishing people. He's starting his third year but- there is a criminal on the loose. Sirius Black. A beautiful, lavishly-worded series about magic, and the hard stories that come your way in life.
it's funny when you relize the name has been changed from what the original name was going to be. I loved all the Harry Potter books especially since i am a gryphindore.
You mean griffindor right
I really love this book, I recently finished it, I recommend to keep reading the series and read this if you have already read Harry Potter and the Sorceres stone.
This is my favourite HP book EVER, and I am a huge fan of Harry Potter
Really good book. My favorite character/Thing is definitely Buckbeak. I love him so much. Now reading the goblet of fire!
My Favorite Harry potter book! Join Harry, Ron and Hermione as they they face secrets not known to the friends. Learn breathtaking truths as Harry Potter tries to save two lives...by going back and making things right!
LOVE THIS BOOK, i love the plot twist at the end, introduces the MARAUDERS, and their MaP, but being honest if you payed attention in the first book this book doesn't make a lot of sense BOOK 1: "young sirius black gave it to me sir" this book : "sirius black is a nitrous mass murder"
It was pretty good. The ending was a little creepy, especially finding our that Ron Weasley's rat, Scabbers, is Peter Pettigrew. Other then that, it needed more action and suspense
