Review of Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban


By Habiba Rahman Chowa

"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is the third book of Harry Potter series of J.K. Rowling. This book contains the magical world of Harry Potter. Once again author Rowling creates a masterpiece. This book has so many turning points which helps to build the next books of the series. This book is one of the core books of Harry Potter series.

So many new characters are introduced here along with Harry's godfather Sirius Black, new professor Remus Lupin and death eater Peter Pettigrew.

When young wizard Harry Potter starts his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he find that something spooky is going on about the mass murderer Sirius Black. Sirius is the first person to escape from the wizard prison Azkaban. Harry, Ron and Hermione try to find more about Sirius and suddenly they identify that Sirius was James Potter's best friend and harry's godfather. Sirius is a death eater who betrayed Harry's parents and sold them to Lord Voldemort. And now he is willing to kill Harry as well.

Professor Ramus Lupin was also James Potter's best friend who is the new defense against the dark arts teacher. Harry learns so many thing from him. He even learns the spell that works against dementors. Dementors are the guards of Azkaban. They can suck happiness from any person and their "kiss" is even more dangerous. They can suck one's soul from his/her body and turn him/her into a leaving dead. Whenever Harry is close to dementors, he falls sick and so he learns how to defend himself.

Professor Trelawney is the divination teacher of Harry who gives a prophecy about Voldemort and his allies in front of Harry. Hagrid becomes the professor of care of magical creature class which makes Harry, Ron and Hermione very delightful. In the first class of Hagrid, Buckbeak which is a Hippogriff, injures Dracco. For this reason, Buckbeak has been sentenced to death by the ministry.

Harry can not go to Hogsmeade trip because his uncle did not sign the form. But he wants to go badly and so he uses his invisibility clock. But Fred and George find him and give him marauders map which is basically a map of Hogwarts with all its secret passages. With the help of this map Harry is able to go to Hogsmeade. When Sirius breaks into the Gryffindor common room, there is a very tight security in the school. Harry can not go to Hogsmeade using the map.

When Harry, Ron and Hermione visit Hagrid in the day of Buckbeak's death, a big dog, which Ron thought "The Grim" but actually animagus Sirius, attacks Ron for his rat. This rat is actually an animagus, Peter Pettigrew. Peter is another best friend of James. Harry identifies that, it was Peter who betrayed his parents and sold them to Voldemort as he is a death eater. All the charges against Sirius is wrong and he is actually a good man. He finds that, it was James, Sirius, Remus and Peter who wrote the marauders map. James, Sirius and Peter are unregistered animagus as Remus is a werewolf. Sirius and Remus want to kill Peter but Harry want to reveal the truth and bring him to the dementors.

But suddenly Remus transforms into werewolf and Peter escapes and dementors attaks Sirius. On that time Harru and Hermione rescued Sirius and Buckbeak by the suggestion of Dumbledore and with the help of time turner which Hermione was using during the term.

Rowling uses so many ideas in this book which are the base of the next books. This book is a core book of Harry Potter series. I am basically a potterhead. Harry Potter was, is and will always be my best companion forever. I personally recommend one takes their time reading this book. This book should be in the all time favorite book list.

This book is a very interesting book among the series. There are so many important points which help to identify the actual story of the series. So many new and amazing ideas have been used in this book. The hippogriff Buckbeak, the marauders map, the time turner are the essential part of this book. Harry find his favorite teacher, professor Lupin was his father's best friend. Harry along with Ron and Hermione, investigates about Sirius Black who is his father's best friend and his godfather. It is known that Sirius betrayed his parents and a death eater which is a wrong rumor. Peter Pettigrew is actually betrayed his parents because he is the death eater. Harry, Ron and Hermione rescues Sirius and send him away with Buckbeak so that the ministry of magic and dementors can not find him. This book is full of surprises and is guaranteed that, this book makes people excited to read the next books.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
