By far my favorite book in the series this book is about a murderer who supposedly followed a very evil very powerful dark wizard and wants to kill Harry Potter because he silenced that evil wizard but in the end of the book you find out that harry got it all wrong! The so called murderer was actually his godfather and never followed the evil wizard!

For twelve long years, the dread fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Convicted of killing thirteen people with a single curse, he was said to be the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort.
Now he has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter's defeat of You-Know-Who was Black's downfall as well. And the Azkaban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, "He's at Hogwarts . . . he's at Hogwarts."
Harry Potter isn't safe, not even within the walls of his magical school, surrounded by his friends. Because on top of it all, there may well be a traitor in their midst.

I DID MY WAITING! TWELVE YEARS OF IT!
I loved this book! I do think it was my least favorite from the series, but any Harry Potter book is worth reading!

I love this book. It is about Harry going back to Hogwarts to become a third year and reunite with his friends, but when the famous killer is loose Harry has to face other fears and worries. The teachers of Hogwarts try to protect Harry and tell him not to go after the killer, but Harry meets him face to face and discovers a lot of things he didn't know and do things that take a lot of courage and bravery. Please read this book because it deserves to be read and enjoyed by a lot of people!
i did not find the book or the movie that scary
I think that this one was a little dryer then the first two.
I like the part when skabis the rat turns into a person who was the dark side. He is a slave of voldemort. He is scary.
It good and suspense full! :D
