Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling

Harry’s third year at Hogwarts begins with the escape of a dangerous prisoner and a growing threat inside the school.

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry learns that Sirius Black, an escaped prisoner of Azkaban and supposed follower of Voldemort, is on the run—and is believed to be coming after him. The Hogwarts grounds are guarded by Dementors, terrifying creatures whose presence has a particularly powerful effect on Harry.

As Harry studies new subjects, including Divination and Defence Against the Dark Arts, he begins to learn more about his parents, Sirius Black and the events surrounding their deaths. What seems like a simple story of betrayal gradually becomes far more complicated.

With friendship, secrets and unexpected revelations at its heart, this third adventure marks a darker and more mature turn in the Harry Potter series.
