About the Author
J.K. Rowling is best known as the author of the seven Harry Potter books, which were published between 1997 and 2007. The enduringly popular adventures of Harry, Ron and Hermione have gone on to sell over 500 million copies, be translated into over 80 languages and made into eight blockbuster films. Alongside the Harry Potter series, she also wrote three short companion volumes for charity: Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, in aid of Comic Relief and Lumos, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard, in aid of Lumos. J.K. Rowling collaborated with playwright Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany to continue Harry's story in a stage play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which opened in London in 2016 and is now playing worldwide. In the same year, she made her debut as a screenwriter with the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the first in a series featuring Magizoologist Newt Scamander, which was inspired by the original companion volume. J.K. Rowling has also written a standalone novel, The Casual Vacancy, and is the author of the Strike crime series under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. Both have been adapted for television. She has received many awards and honours, including an OBE and a Companion of Honour for services to literature and philanthropy. She lives in Scotland with her family.

Still enough magic tricks and not a lot of "war and killing" as in later books

The Harry Potter books are really deadly interesting.
The Pottermore series is creeping the skin out of us.
Just sit and enjoy and relax!

In my opinion, whether you're twelve or twenty two, I highly recommend them!!

As always with Rowling's books, I loved Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! JK Rowling's words have a curious habit of coming to life, and her characters are funny, and realistic. One of the greatest things about Harry Potter, is that they improve with each book, and you can clearly glimpse the clever, intricate plot Rowling has wove, with cleverly placed foreshadowing and seemingly innocent hints.

A much darker story but a fabulous read with a little something for everyone
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 June 2019Verified Purchase
In this book, as Harry approaches adolescence the tone changes. And we get a more interesting, but also more complex and darker story.
Unlike the static characters in other books or series, Harry is getting older, and getting less stable emotionally. The book still appeals to both children and adults but it involves some horror creatures, Dementors and there is lot of focus on Harry’s parents' deaths.
The great thing for children is that the familiar, relatable characters are being brought to life and come across as very realistic. Harry’s friendship with Ron and Hermione takes a different direction in this instalment. Hermione is being forced to make tough choices that impact Harry but Ron in particular. With who she is in constant disagreement. But the book also has an exceptionally strong set of secondary characters like Professor Lupin, the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, a great new character that hides a big hairy secret. Then there is Professor Trelawney for Divination studies. While Hagrid displays his love of all magical creatures. Professor Snape remains enigmatic so that you continue to question his true motives. Cedric Diggory and Cho Chang, who play important roles in later books of the series are introduced as well
The book has are many fun, unexpected and exciting plot points. Many elements in this story are not what they appear at first sight, take for example Sirius Black a prison escapee, who is believed to have betrayed Harry’s parents. The mystery of Lord Voldemort murder of Harry's parents is increasingly central and new details are revealed. And the climax was exhilarating and intense.
Our daughter had to be forced to put the book down. And when pushed for favourites, Prisoner of Azkaban is her favourite Harry Potter book, if not among all the books she has read.

Used hardback - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 March 2020Verified Purchase
Original harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban 1999. Used hardback copy is as discribed and although edges are yellowed, however all pages and text are clearly readable and intact and there is NO damage at all. Fantastic buy for £2.99 from seller Britbooks LTD.
Third installment of the Harry Potter Series, Harry along with friends Ron and Hermione start their third year at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Who knows what will happen this year as a notoriously dark wizard has escaped from azkaban and is making his way to Hogwarts...but why? And for who?

Good budget version of the amazing story.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2019Verified Purchase
The book arrived next day good packaged (as amazon usually do).
In this review I will not be saying about the story, it is definetely amazing without doubts. I read the story years ago and now my 7 years old enjoy reading the book.
The book's quality is good, my little one give the book to her friend after she finished, and the book still was in very good condition. It is slightly boring for the little kids though as there are no any illustration ))
Thank you!

Writing at its best.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 July 2017Verified Purchase
J.K. Rowling is without doubt one of the best writers I have ever read. It is very difficult to put her series of Potter books down and this one is no exception. Even though I have seen all the films and enjoyed them I have to say that the books are better than the films (and that takes some doing). Even if you have seen the films I would highly recommend that you read the books - all of them.
