"Oy! Presents!"

I'm flabbergasted, again. This one deviates from what it had been for the first two books - by a mile!. Just when I thought the second one was more detailed compared to the first. Prisoner of Azkaban is much more complex, having a lengthier plot, more descriptive characters and environs, but still not lacking in any way. It makes the first two feel like short stories. I'm going to stop saying this is 'The Best' until I'm done with the series, for, right now it feels like it'll keep getting better till the series end. (So, it goes without saying, it's 'The Best So Far.')

"The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business"

Though the first two books were quite wonderful, the build-up for events seemed much better in this third book. The occurring of events seemed much less transparent, and manages to keep the reader well in suspense right till the end. The plot feels to be moving more in-line with the core of series - towards a bit darker side - as the first two had already laid a strong foundation. And the world of magic keeps expanding, with a lot of interesting elements being added to it! I hope I'm not getting ahead of myself when I say, this is becoming one of my favorite book series of all time.

*re-read*

this is where it really starts to get good. ⚡️ many tears were shed at the ending.

Notes: Separating itself from its forebears, it's a story of greater complexity, darker tones, and a vastly expanded mythology.

Welcome back to my re-read of the superb series “Harry Potter”.

this book is superior simply because it has sirius black in it. sir please take my heart i do not care

واقعاً ابله بودم که فکر می‌کردم عمراً خوشم بیاد و نمی‌خواستم هری پاتر بخونم :))

The third book in the Harry Potter series is by far the best of the first three. We get introduced to Sirius Black early on in the book, and I have to say, he’s my favorite character to date in the series. Getting more answers about Harry’s parents and past, you can tell this book sets up so many things for future books.

Sirius and Remus were the best part of the book for me. I could see where THIS would be the book that hooks so many HP fans. Don’t get me wrong, the first two are good, but there was something special about this book. Something that makes me want to jump into book 4 asap. This world is magical and yes, the books are so much better than the movies (which I’ve seen multiple times) and I’m so happy I’m reading them! 5 stars!

Harry is in his third year at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry and although it's great to be back, everyone in the magical world is on edge.



An escaped mass murderer, Sirius Black, is on the loose and it turns out Harry has cause to worry that he might be Black's next target.





n  “What you fear most of all is —fear. Very wise...”n

I found it highly entertaining how obviously teenage our trio were in this book. The arguing, mood swings and first crushes were so on point.

I'm glad this is the last of the middle grade books in this series and that from book 4 we move into YA.

JKR really knew how to set the spooky vibes and the unsettling atmosphere.

This book did have a little of the investigation element that the other books have but not as great as it is in rest.

I forgot so much about this book in particular. I did not remember how much slower paced and lacking
The first 3/4 were so slow and while I still love every bit of it I needed more to happen.

n  “I knew I could do it all this time,” said Harry, “Because I'd already done it... does that make sense?”n

Buddy read with Fares!!

My reviews for:

1:  Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
2:  Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
4: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

I'm just going to add a few gifs and pictures from my book. Harry Potter books will always be 5 star no matter how many times they are read. (Hermione forever!)





I fell in love with S. Black in this book and I never looked back.



I'm going to add some pictures from my book, although now, I wish I would have added more but it is what it is. . . maybe later













I love these big illustrated coffee table editions of the books. It makes re-reading them an extremely fun experience. I just wish she would put them all out at once. I know, I know... I'm ready for the next though.

Happy Reading!

There isn’t anything more comforting than this series.

————————————

It baffled me for a minute that Harry was 13 going through all that he went through in this book.
It made me happy to see that this is more or less the beginning of him forming his own family. I love that Ron - and The Weasley’s by extension - and Hermoine are there for him. Especially when he has to go back to that idiotic family during the summer.
Dumbledore slowly mentoring him always gets to me.

But there isn’t anything more happy-inducing than this series.
Though I always feel somewhat sad by the end of the books, there isn’t anything that’s more comforting than these stories.

n  I don't understand why they use time travel in this one,and not in the other books.That would have made things a lot easier.n
