Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban


**Book 1 * Book 2**

This is easily one of my favorite Harry Potter book. It takes me forever to get through this series right now, because I'm reading in conjunction with Pottermore, so I have to wait for them to open chapters. Well, now I have to wait for them to open the fourth book.

I have a hard time calling this a children's book. The series progresses in such a way that the books become more mature, darker, and just generally not children's.

Harry is thrust into his past with the appearance of the Dementors, who guard Azkaban prison. Sirius Black has escaped, and everything points that he is after Harry. But, when the Dementors, who are on the hunt for Black come around Harry, he is forced to hear the last moments of his parents.

Professor Lupin, the third Defense Against the Dark Arts professor that these students have had since being at Hogwarts, helps Harry in his pursuit to defend himself against the horrors of his past.

Hermione is taking way too many classes, and nobody knows how she's managing to go to two classes at the same time.

Everything that comes together is almost unexpected. It's such a good book. I love it.
