## Description

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: 03 : Rowling, J K, Grandpré, Mary: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: The perfect one - This is the turning-point in the series, I realised, revisiting the new editions years after first reading them when I was the same age as the characters. Book one is a little short and overly compact, a good entry point to the series with less humour, horror and intrigue than the rest. Book two begins to really invest in compelling mystery and character dynamics, and rereads a little better, but is still quite simple and feels a bit malnourished and short. Book three, though, is where it all comes together and Rowling hits her stride. All of the key elements that would make each book after this totally addictive - especially the distinct roles and backstories of supporting characters like Dumbledore, Hagrid and Snape - are finally mixed in good proportion here. It's hysterically funny in places, genuinely dramatic and poignant in others, and for the first time the entire momentum of the plot is pushed forward by character motives and conflicts rather than by a standalone McGuffin like the Philosopher's Stone. Every single chapter is perfectly paced to feed into and develop the central characters and reveals more perspective-changing details about the titular Prisoner of Azkaban and his role in Harry's past. Conservation of detail is king, and every little detail ends up feeding back into the plot somewhere later on, giving many of those satisfying "ahhh!" moments of realisation as we, and the characters, piece together what's going on. If I weren't such a stickler for reading things in order, I'd recommend people this, rather than book one, as the ideal entrypoint into Harry Potter. It isn't simple or underdeveloped like the previous two, nor is it dauntingly large and bloated like the next two. I love them all but this is where the formula felt perfectly balanced for an easy and compelling read.
Review: Fantastic read - There was nothing to dislike. Each chapter gotta better and better, right to the end. Dobbie in particular made a surprising entrance and added significantly to the overall story. Harry's bravery was also prominent as was Hermione's cleverness and Hagrid's unlucky circumstances.

Great book and a great story. The cover is very beautiful, I love it. I needed a new copy of the Prisoner of Azkaban and even though this is a paper cover, I like the design very much.
