For twelve long years, the dread fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Convicted of killing thirteen people with a single curse, he was said to be the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort.
 
Now he has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter's defeat of You-Know-Who was Black's downfall as well. And the Azkaban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, "He's at Hogwarts . . . he's at Hogwarts."
 
Harry Potter isn't safe, not even within the walls of his magical school, surrounded by his friends. Because on top of it all, there may well be a traitor in their midst.

gret story

It was GREAT!

i have read all the books and out of them all this one was my fav. i rate it 5 stars!

Third book of Harry Potter series. Very interesting and full of dementors and how to get rid of them. J. K. Rowling introduces Sirius Black, Harry's old Godfather.

This book is really wonderful!! It has great characters and dialogue. This is my favorite year so far. I have read 1,2.4, and I am reading the fifth one right now. It really gets into your head. It has pictures in each chapter, but doesn't have it in the middle of them. In my opinion, I like that it doesn't have any pictures. You can put your own image in your head. Imagine how everything looks like. I do that, and I sometimes don't want to stop reading. I will feel really sad when I'm done with the whole series. Sometimes I even reread each book to read my favorite lines. I recommend this book to everyone.

im almost done reading it so far amazing

it si an amazing book and it is full of imagination

Your godfather is accused of murdering your parents. Do you like him or not? But is he really the one who murdered your parents? If he's not, then you have to get him out of azkaban. Wizard and witch version of jail. But what if he is, then what? You get him out of azkaban then realize that he's coming after you? Follow Harry through this, hard, adventurous, and risk-taking adventure, to either save his godfather, or makes sure that he doesn't escape from azkaban like he did before. Only really powerful wizards and witches can escape azkaban.

It was AWESOME!
