BOOK 75: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by J.K. Rowling


Rating: 5 stars

Cover synopsis: For 12 long years, the fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Now he has escaped, and is thought to be after Harry. Harry Potter isn't safe, not even within the walls of Hogwarts. Because on top of it all, there may be a traitor in their midst.

These books just get better and better. They're funny, imaginative, action-packed and cerebral, all at the same time. I love piecing together the mystery that is Harry's life, and following along on his adventures.

In this book, we see what choices Harry makes when he is overwhelmed with revengeful feelings. We feel he would be justified in letting anger rule his actions, yet are relieved and respectful of his humane nature. I really felt as if I was feeling the emotions he was feeling. These books are incredibly well-written.

On to the next!
