Review : Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling

Tittle : Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter #3)
Author : J.K. Rowling
Publication date : May 1st 2004 by Scholastic Inc.

I still remember the good ole times when me and my college friends went to the movies to see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. To tell you the truth, I didn't really get the story. I was just amazed by the special effects of it, I was such a visual person back then. But when I finally read the book, I know what really happens and the good thing is, the story is now very memorable (even without those fancy effects!)

Harry Potter is now a thrid year Hogwarts student. The world is shocked by the news of Sirius Black escaping from the Azkaban prison. Rumor says he is the follower of Voldemort and now looking for Harry. The school is also not fun anymore because it's surrounded by dementor, a thing Harry is afraid the most.

I prefer Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban than the previous book. This one has more interesting adventure and the plot has become more complex. J.K. Rowling is the master of making unpredictable tales, hands down. The book itself is also a page turner ( I reached the last page in no time), just the previous ones and that's what makes me feel I have to finish this series as soon as possible.

There are new magical creatures being introduced and the description of the dementors is enough to bring chills on my spine. I feel for you, Harry, those creatures are indeed creepy. I think this is when the story starts to become more interesting, I mean the first and second book are okay, but this one, well, it really is worth your time!
Ron is still my favorite character so far. I wonder how he will develop in the next books. 5 rating for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I cannot wait to read the fourth book and find out about Harry's next quest. I recommend this book for fantasy lovers, those of you who love easy but valuable reads, and of course you folks who have soft spot for unpredictable stories.

Now, over to you. Who is your favorite character in Harry Potter series?
