Reading 03 Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban

Do you want to know what a really good book is? Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban is a really great book. The author is J.K. Rowling. Rowling lets you create vivid pictures in your head as if you were in the book. This book is basically about a boy named Harry Potter who finds out that he himself was a wizard. He goes to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardary. In Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban this is his third year at Hogwarts. It is a happy time for Harry because he gets away from his terrible aunt, uncle, and cousin. Harry also gets to see his two best friends Ron and Hermionie. All is happy until one day he finds out that a prisoner in Azkaban breaks out to find Harry and then kill him. Now Harry must watch out for the prisoner.

In the first book that Rowling wrote called Harry Potter and the sorcers stone Harry beat an evil wizard named Lord Voldamort. Now he goes looking for Sirius Black the prisoner that's friends with Lord Voldamort. After Harry beat Lord Voldamort no one can beat the famous Harry Potter.

The main characters in this book are of course Harry Potter. Harry Potter is a very unusual boy in many ways. For one thing he is a wizard. Also he has a scar the shape of a lightning bolt on his forehead. When Lord Voldamort killed Harry's parents he didn't kill Harry all he left was that very scar that is still on his forehead. Harry is also the seeker in the game quidditch. Another character is Ron. I like Ron because for one thing he is very funny. Ron is also a big troublemaker he usually gets into trouble most of the time. Another character is Hermionie. Hermionie is always looking forward to homework and book reports. She always has her hand in the air when no one else doesn't. You could say she was a teacher's pet. Those are all the main characters in Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban.

The theme in this book was helping your friends when they are in need of your help. In the book they all worked together. The genre is Fantasy because it talks about a hippogriff, which is a bunch of animals mixed into one whole animal. It also talks about trolls who run a bank called Gringotts. There are also witches and wizards. So as you can see Fantasy is the genre for this book.

These are some facts about J.K. Rowling. Rowling got the name potter from people who lived four doors down where she lived when she was a little girl. Rowling also said Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban was the most fun to write.

So if you want to find out what happens to Harry, Ron, and Hermionie when they come face to face with the prisoner Sirius Black? Don't wait and start reading! Trust me it's a great book to sit down and read.

The Best!
I thought it was the best in the series so far because there were alot of suprirses.

Brilliant as Ever
J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is an exciting fairytale about a boy named Harry Potter. Harry grows up with his aunt and uncle on Privet Drive. He has never known his parents because the most feared and powerful wizard, Lord Voldimort, murdered them. As Harry grows up he receives a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At Hogwarts Harry meets his two best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Ron is a red haired, freckled faced boy who wishes he could have a glimpse of Harry's fame and glory. While on the other hand Hermoine is a bushy brown haired, know-it-all girl who could answer any question you throw at her. As Harry progressed to his third year at Hogwarts he encounters many mysterious visits from a "Grim". Althought Harry isn't scared of the "Grim", he can't help feeling that he is being followed by it. Throughout this book Harry and his friends encounter many different obstacles dealing with death and putting their lives on the line with danger to save their schoolmates and their school. To find out what happens to Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they fallow the mysterious "Grim", you must read this exciting page-turner.
J.K. Rowling's style of writing differs from other books. She uses a gigantic variety of words and also adds in some British words to add style and character to her books. All of her exotic words describe the many different details about Hogwarts, what the different characters look like, what their expression is, and what they are doing. As you read this book you will find yourself imagining a film running through your head because of J.K. Rowling's use of colorful words.
