Goodreads Summary:
Harry Potter is lucky to reach the age of thirteen, since he has survived the murderous attacks of the feared Dark Lord on more than one occasion. His hopes for a quiet school term concentrating on Quidditch are dashed, though, when a maniacal mass-murderer escapes from Azkaban, pursued by the soul-sucking Dementors who guard the prison. It’s assumed that Hogwarts is the safest place for Harry to be. But is it his imagination that is making him feel eyes watching him in the dark, and should he be taking Professor Trelawney’s ghoulish predictions seriously?

These new editions of the classic and internationally bestselling, multi-award-winning series feature instantly pick-up-able new jackets by Jonny Duddle, with huge child appeal, to bring Harry Potter to the next generation of readers. It’s time to PASS THE MAGIC ON …

Review:
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was my least favorite book and movie. Right from the start i wasn't as excited to read the story as i was with the other books. But after i read a few pages i found myself obsessed again with the world and the people. I was really excited to meet Sirius Black, and it was great eventhough i had to wait untill the very last of the book, but hey.. that was expected. 

I loved how you saw Harry grow even more than he already did. He was sassy as always, but also a little naive sometimes. Like he didn't think he would get cought or something. Also the other characters were just like in the last book, i also liked that the character Peafs (or however you spell it) wasn't a great part of the story this time. The last to books where he however was a great part of the story i found it much more childern like (eventhough it originally is a childerns book). 

What i didn't really like in this book was to parts where everything was dragged out so long. Everything was so long, with made me want to read it even faster to get through it. Also i didn't really like the part where they traveled back in time. Conclusion, everything was to long! 

But overall the story was great, you got a lot more information about what was happening in the book then that you ever got in the movie. The movie felt rush, but the book felt dragged.. so if they found a middle ground that would have been great.
