Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban
(J. K. Rowling)
Don't be fooled into thinking Harry Potter is just for kids! J. K. Rowling has a brilliant mind and offers a multi-level adventure series for kids and adults alike, this being the third and most intriguing. With adept humor, breath-taking adventure, danger, and surprises galore, Rowling takes us on another enthralling exploit with Harry and friends. Entering his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry has obviously grown more bold in his dealings with the Dursley's, his unintended muggle family. After suffering terrible insults from a visiting Aunt Marge, Harry totally looses his cool and - using forbidden magic - blows Aunt Marge up like a big fat balloon floating and bouncing against the ceiling of the Dursley house. Then, threatening Mr. Dursley to keep away from him, Harry flies up to his room, gathers his gear, books, broom and owl, and bursts out into the night - determined but not necessarily knowing what he is going to do next. Our hearts burst with pride as we watch this new emerging aspect of Harry. He is absolutely fed up with being treated like a no good piece of garbage and finally stands up for himself, something that we all can gain inspiration from. Harry does finally make it back to Hogwarts for his third year, but this time his life is in danger from Sirius Black - a deranged deadly prisoner living at the dreaded wizard prison at Azkaban. Black has been known to have mass murdered 13 people in cold blood, and the word is out he is after Harry. But Harry is not worried or afraid, in fact, Harry is quite bold and fearless. J. K. Rowling presents us with a youthful hero that many of us would do well to emulate. Harry, along with his cohorts Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, are up to tackling Sirius Black - if they only knew where he was. For Black is an animagus - a wizard who can change into an animal - and that is how he has escaped Azkaban, a place no one has ever escaped from before. As an example of the multi-levels of entertainment Rowling weaves together in her books, an enjoyable sub plot running throughout Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is how Hermione - the brain of the bunch - is taking multiple classes that all start at the same time. How does she do it? One minute she is with Harry and Ron, and the next moment she has disappeared! One moment she is in class and the next she is gone. Where did she go? Very clever how Rowling pulls off a time-traveling Hermione, and very clever how the time-traveling device serves to save a precious life at the book's conclusion. In fact, very clever how Rowling keeps us in suspense towards the end of the book - is Sirius Black innocent as he states, or is he only trying to fool Harry, Ron and Hermione so he can get close to Harry and kill him? Was Sirius Black really Harry Potter's father's best friend? Would Sirius Black really have given up his life for Harry's father, they were that close? Is Sirius Black really Harry's God Father? Did Sirius Black really come looking for Harry at Hogwarts or was there a more mysterious reason he showed up? If you want to find out these answers and much more, do yourself a favor and read this book. You will not regret the time spent and the thrills and laughs enjoyed. Absolutely my favorite!
