"This is probably my favourite book in the Harry Potter series! They're all of course amazing, but the relationships in this one really stand out to me!"

"Twelve long years Sirius Black has been imprisoned in the worst prison imaginable, Azkaban. He was convicted of killing 13 people at once and to be the heir in following in Lord Voldemorts footsteps. Now that Black has escaped Azkaban (the prison that has never been escaped from before) there is only two things that point to where he might be going. Harry Potter defeated Black’s master who forced the downfall of Sirius AND Black spoke in his sleep saying “He’s at Hogwarts”. Harry Potter isn’t safe (but when is he really), even while at the magical school of Hogwarts surrounded by professors and friends. They discover there may even be a traitor in their midst. This is the third book of the Harry Potter series BUT with amazing illustrations of the magical world of Harry Potter. If you know Harry Potter, you know the deal! However I think this definitely did a better job in the explanation of all the small details. Looking back at the movie, it had plot holes and some of the deeper explanations fell flat. It adds more feeling and expression and personality to all the characters as well. The illustrations are AMAZING, there were moments when it was explaining a scene and I was like “I hope there’s a visual for this” and there wasn’t. I think this series continues to overall mystify me because it really does create an entire world and each book builds off of that and allows you to really see and be entranced by what you’re reading. This is where the plot begins to thicken for me, more characters enter that’s not the main group and we start to learn what the main characters can do and handle."
