"'Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. Just stick out your wand hand, step on board and we can take you anywhere you want to go.'"

When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it's the start of another far from ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea leaves ... But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds, with their soul-sucking kiss ...

Amazon.com Review

For most children, summer vacation is something to look forward to. But not for our 13-year-old hero, who's forced to spend his summers with an aunt, uncle, and cousin who detest him. The third book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series catapults into action when the young wizard "accidentally" causes the Dursleys' dreadful visitor Aunt Marge to inflate like a monstrous balloon and drift up to the ceiling. Fearing punishment from Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon (and from officials at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who strictly forbid students to cast spells in the nonmagic world of Muggles), Harry lunges out into the darkness with his heavy trunk and his owl Hedwig.

As it turns out, Harry isn't punished at all for his errant wizardry. Instead he is mysteriously rescued from his Muggle neighborhood and whisked off in a triple-decker, violently purple bus to spend the remaining weeks of summer in a friendly inn called the Leaky Cauldron. What Harry has to face as he begins his third year at Hogwarts explains why the officials let him off easily. It seems that Sirius Black--an escaped convict from the prison of Azkaban--is on the loose. Not only that, but he's after Harry Potter. But why? And why do the Dementors, the guards hired to protect him, chill Harry's very heart when others are unaffected? Once again, Rowling has created a mystery that will have children and adults cheering, not to mention standing in line for her next book. Fortunately, there are four more in the works. (Ages 9 and older) --Karin Snelson

From Publishers Weekly

In this third installment in the projected seven-volume series, Sirius Black, imprisoned for killing 13 people with one curse, escapes from Azkaban. As he heads for Hogwarts, the chilling Dementors who trail him quickly descend upon the school. "Each successive volume expands upon its predecessor with dizzyingly well-planned plots and inventive surprises," said PW in a Best Books of 2001 citation. Ages 8-up.

Highly enjoyed this final book to this series

ByDaniel Lyleon October 3, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Highly enjoyed this final book to this series. While I disliked one statement by Dumbledore in the second to last book, this final book seemed to hit the mark. I particularly enjoyed the family building uplifting message that love can see us through difficult times. The example of Harry being the kind of man that was brave, clever and masculine enough to be a guide, protector and provider for those that depended upon him is a good role model for boys in a world that otherwise mocks men as stooges and incompetents. Thank you J.K. Rowling for providing good role models for both sexes in these books.

My favorite of the series so far. Great writing, great story, love this book!

ByGuedo Fanonyon December 6, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is by far my favorite Harry Potter book so far. The writing has gotten so much better over the past 2 books, (which I did also love)... The character development has been amazing. The story is interesting as usual. The continuation of past events would be very easy for a newcomer to follow. I find it strange that anyone would start reading in the middle of the series, but I honestly think it wouldn't be that difficult with the way that Rowling integrates everything.

I've been reading these books with my 5 year old daughter and she absolutely loves them. She has no problem following along. And the subject matter is understandable and appropriate. I've heard that the next book may be a bit darker, but so far, we are having a great time reading them together.

So much better than the movie

ByLiviahon February 21, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Oh how I love the Harry Potter world.

Back when the movies were out I read books 1 & 7. I loved book 7 and was "meh" about book 1. But picking them up again to finish reading the whole series I am enjoying them so much more than I did initially.
Rowling makes such lovable characters! There are so many books I wanted to read this month and instead I find myself spending all my reading time on Harry Potter books.

A great addicting read. Better than the first two books I'd say. I loved Lupin and Crookshanks the most. And I especially loved the last chapter of this book.
There is much in the book that is not in the movie, so it's worth a read even if you've seen all the films.

Love the book and the whole series.

ByC. Ziembaon December 6, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have to give Rowling credit: she really understands how to structure the books so you can't put them down. Just as you reach the end of a chapter (and, therefore, a logical breakpoint), she sucks you right into the next one.

I re-read the series to compare the books to the movies. I think I like the books better than the movies, especially this one. She did an excellent job of tying up the loose ends. The movie had a lot of questionable subjects: like when Harry is using the Resurrection Stone, why weren't Tonks and Fred present, since Lupin was (answer: they weren't germain to telling the tale.)

The only problem I have with the series is that the first book needs to have a stronger binding. Each time a new book came out, I went back and re-read all the books. So I've read Sorcerer's Stone over 10 times now, and the binding has split. The other books are still intact. I tend to treat my books very gently, so it isn't a matter of abuse, it's a matter of overuse. But they are very enjoyable.

This is my least favorite book in the series

ByJamie W.on August 6, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is my least favorite book in the series. I think this is mostly due to Harry's attitude throughout most of the book. He whines and complains a lot, for lack of better description. He feels like he's been shunted away to the side and left to live with the Dursley's while everyone else is hanging out at the Order of the Pheonix and is included in everything. Here's a quote, by Phineus Nigellus, a former Headmaster of Hogwartz (and none other than a Slytherin) that very appropriately sums up how I felt:

"You know, this is precisely why I loathed being a teacher! Young people are so infernally convinced that they are absolutely right about everything. Has it not occurred to you, my poor puffed up popinjay, that there might be an excellent reason why the headmaster of Hogwartz is not confiding every tiny detail of his plans to you? Have you never paused, while feeling hard done by, to note that following Dumbledore's orders has never led you into harm? No. No, like all young people, you are quite sure that you alone feel and think, you alone recognize danger, you alone are the only one cleaver enough to realize what the Dark Lord may be planning....."

Well said...to put it short and sweet. Get over yourself! Know that people are looking out for you and your best interests and you can't be involved in every decision. Ok, off my podium. *grin* The rest of the book I really did enjoy.

*********SPOILERS!******

I loved the DA and seeing everyone really put forth an effort to learn, because it's right and needed, regardless of the consequences. I abhore Deloris Umbridge and I agree with the twins that Percy is a prat! It's interesting to see more of Neville's backstory and a foreshadowing into some of his similarities to Harry. I wish, wish, wish...that Harry had opened Sirius' gift to him so that Harry wouldn't have gone to the Ministry of Magic and Sirius wouldn't have fallen through the gateway. But, without this, we wouldn't know what weapon Voldemort was after. We wouldn't fully understand Harry's importance. Fun romp through the Department of Mysteries. I love the brains...Ugh! Great fight scenes. Good set up for the final story.
