![]() ![]() As always, all three of them acted very heroically, especially Harry and Hermione, and once again, Harry had the opportunity to show his amazing capacity for mercy, in this case to one who didn't really deserve it, which was a beautiful thing to me. This just added fuel to the fire of my prediction that they will someday be more than friends. The two of them argue throughout most of the story like an old married couple, and when they finally make up, there were a couple of really cute moments. Hermione has finally bitten off more than she can chew, and that along with her new pet and some tough choices she makes in an attempt to be a good friend, jeopardizes her relationship with both Harry and Ron, but particularly Ron. The friendship between Harry, Ron and Hermione takes on a different tone in this book. Rowling really has a way of bringing her characters to life and making them seem so very realistic. In my opinion, the Harry Potter series has one of the best casts of characters I have ever read. Even though this was a re-read for me, I had forgotten many of the little details and rediscovering them made for a very enjoyable time. Although it is very hard to play favorites, I must say that I liked Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban the best so far. Oftentimes with long series, some books will be better than others, or eventually the momentum will begin to flag, but with this series the impetus seems to build with each one, a trend I hope will continue with each book right up until the end. I think the Harry Potter series has been getting better with each book, which in my reading experience is an impressive feat for an author to pull off. They frequently face difficulties and in the process learn very valuable life lessons, making it a journey well worth the taking, and one that I've been thrilled to partake in right along with them. Not that getting there is easy for the characters. I am thoroughly convinced that if this series had been around when I was kid, I would have loved it, and every time I read one of the Harry Potter books, I always walk away with a feel-good ending. Rowling knows exactly how to suck both child and adult readers into a creative world populated with heroic but relatable characters, fantastical creatures, magic, intrigue and adventure. I have to say that the Harry Potter series is one of the most imaginative and entertaining book series I have ever had the privilege of reading. In the midst of all this, Harry is led on some exciting and dangerous adventures by an enchanted map, where he learns that not everyone and everything is all that it seems. Add to that more conflict, as the overachieving Hermione seems to have finally bitten off more than she can chew, while her new pet leaves her in constant conflict with Ron a magical Hippogiff under Hagrid's care is wrongfully accused by Malfoy of attacking him dire predictions by the new Divination teacher, Professor Trelawney and the fearsome Azkaban guards known as Dementors, stationed outside the school grounds waiting for Black to surface, wreak havoc on Harry's mind. Harry and his best friends, Ron and Hermione, try to go about the school year as normally as possible, but multiple attacks on the castle apparently perpetrated by none other than Black leave everyone feeling anxious. ![]() Sirius is a wizard who is said to have killed thirteen people in cold blood including his old friend Peter Pettigrew, and now the top officials of the wizarding world have reason to believe that Black is working for Voldemort and headed for Hogwarts in search of Harry, intending to kill him too. Harry Potter returns for his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry amid the fear and hub-bub surrounding the escape of Siruis Black from Azkaban prison.
