Book review: Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Azkaban

Welcome to my first ever book review!

I recently finished reading this book, so I’ll review it right away instead of waiting for a comment pointing to my next review.

It is hard to find any other book as filled-to-the-rim-with-fantasy as this one. But there are six more books about Harry you can enjoy. This one is the 3rd part.

Harry Potter was a unique and somewhat lonely boy who lost his parents as a baby, and now lives with his sneaky aunt, beefy uncle, and plump cousin. They were the only living relatives of Harry, and they were not proud of this, because they had loathed his family greatly. When Harry was brave enough to ask them how his parents had died, they always answered that it happened in a terrible car crash. Harry believed this with difficulty, and what they said was nothing but a lie. They actually died when they faced the Dark Lord, Voldemort. Thankfully, a man called Hagrid, the gamekeeper of Hogwarts, told Harry this. He was the one who brought Harry to Hogwarts and helped him to buy supplies with the money Harry’s parents left behind.

People feared Voldemort so much that he was mostly called “you know who”. He wanted to kill Harry, but because his mother defended him, Voldemort killed her at first. He attempted to kill Harry as well, but to everyone’s surprise, Harry survived him. In fact, he even harmed Voldemort, him now being something so weakened it was impossible to call him a human anymore.

Now that was just the backstory to understand the actual review.

Because the Dursleys had been disrespecting Harry with great loath towards him, Harry was sick of them and simply packed his bag and ran away. He was extremely furious. He entered a bus — probably made for wizards and witches, Harry noticed — with a strange, but nice driver. As he makes himself comfortable in one of the busses beds, another man offers a news paper, the Daily Prophet. He sees a picture of a skinny man. His name was Sirius Black. He looked very furious in the picture. Black was locked into Azkaban, a jail for wizards. Harry and his best friends, Ron and Hermione, figure out his true identity… you’ll never guess who he actually is!

The author, Joanne Katherine Rowling, had a lot of experiences and jotted her feelings down, with a disguise of the story Harry Potter.

I attempted to read the books when I was eight years old, but I didn’t completely understand everything with a glance at that age. Reading it when I was eleven, it was much easier to understand, so I recommend reading ages from nine to twelve.

I really hope you enjoyed my book review! Next up will be: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (fourth part). So see you then and read on!
