Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter #3) by J. K. Rowling

Date read: 12 - 19 March 2017
Length: 317 pages

Harry returns to Hogwarts for his third year with new subjects and a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. The school is being guarded by Dementors from Azkaban prison, as an inmate has escaped. But Sirius Black is not all he seems. Will the truth be revealed?


It's nice for Harry to learn a bit more about his family, even if it's not all good. It's a shame he was brought up the way he was, and to learn he does have other family out there must be a bit of a relief.

Fred and George give Harry something called a Marauder's Map. This map allows anyone in the vicinity of Hogwarts to be seen. Harry uses it to sneak to Hogsmeade, but it also comes in handy to save the day.

It is because of the Marauder's Map that we learn Ron's faithful pet rat Scabbers is not just a rat... a whole series of events unfold, teaching us more about what really happened in the lead up to Harry's parents death.

I am very much looking forward to The Goblet of Fire. This series is very captivating so far, and I believe it only gets better!
