I loved this book. There were so many parts that made me laugh! It also made me wonder about what James and his friends would do to Snape when they were all at Hogwarts. :)

I could not put this book down. I found myself waking up in the midst of the night to see what was going to be the outcome of the rising action I was at at the time. For you people that have a hard time finding the right book for you, give this one a chance, believe me, you wont regret it.

This hyped book was brilliant, harry showing his courage and livley atitude to life had another more exciting task.
At first when i heard of Harry potter i thought to myself 'aloud of rubbish, who wants to read a load of gogbbledegook' then one day i sat donw and read the first book and i could not put it down.
These books are brilliant and i am behing anyone who wwants to read them, but beware you wont be able to tear youself away.


I love books 2 and 3 they are really excellent. my favourite character in book 3 apart from Harry and his friends is Sirius Black. I love the way Harry found out he had a Godfather. I have a question. How did Harry get back to Hogworths after he blew up his aunt.. Darcey Carr aged 7


This book waz really kool!!! I just finished reading it! It waz one of the best out of the series, n e wayz it sux that Remus Lupin (Moony) had to leave though! well I luv'd it and give it a 5!!! I hope you enjoyed it as much as me and all the other peeps who read it! well n e wayz, l8a dudez, read on and peace out! bye bye -*G-hEttO-DoT*


hi! i'm 14 and i think that Harry Potter and the prisoner of azkaban in an absolutely EXCELLENT book. the addition of Remus Lupin to the series was an excellent decision. Good on you J.K.Rowling! I really like him and one of my freinds is even in love with him! anyway this book is sort of continue's into to the fourth book (which was also excellent)when i read the book, i kept hovering between sadness (when harry hears his mother and father when he encounters the dementors.. i almost cried)excitiment and happiness( when they play quidditch and when the win the final)and surprise (when i learn that sirius was actually the good guy. and i was really happy for harry because he found out that he had a godfather, a father figure of sorts (not that dumbledore isnt good enough)anyway, in short the book was absolutely wonderful!! i love the harry potter series and J.K.Rowling is genius for comming up with it!


Lupin,Lupin,Lupin,Lupin,Lupin,LUPIN!!!!!
An exallent book which is home to the best character I have seen in a while, the unmistakable Professor Lupin! Truley, there is something about this quiet, frail and sickly teacher that grabs your heart, and refuses to give it back! From the moment we first encounter him on the train, him sleeping so deep he cannot be awoken, you are left reading the rest of the book with only one thing on your mind, Lupin! I know while I read the book I could barley concentrate on the happenings, as I was too busy worrying about my poor sickly Lupin, just dying to know what was wrong and if he would be okay.
This is truley the best of the Harry Potter series, and I Love Rowling for giving me a great character to love!!!
