It’s crazy how different the book and movie are. The rift between the three when Hermione went to the teachers about the broom and the rat was frustrating but honestly was written well. That’s exactly how kids act. Lupin is one of my favorite characters however!

Really enjoyed this one! This is obviously a reread but it was interesting noting the differences between it and the film

4.0

 one of the shorter books in the series, I appreciate how much plot is packed into this one. There were very few moments that felt slow/skippable.

The reason I've given this book a 4/5 is because of the beginning; I really hate the first couple of chapters. I can't really place why, but the whole situation with
his aunt and the night bus
has always made me feel extremely uncomfortable. 

I really love the little bits we get about
the Marauders towards the end of the book
and think that, overall, this book has been the most cohesive of the series. While the other two books (especially the second one) felt extremely back-loaded as far as the main conflict goes, this one felt more balanced.

As Harry, Ron and Hermione return to Hogwarts for their third year things are tense. Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban. Enforcements have been called in to help guard the school. Everyone is on high alert. Cornelius Fudge believes Harry to be Sirius' target.

The third book is where I really got hooked on the series, and the same can be said this time around. The stakes are higher, the action really starts to take off, and I started to really feel invested in Harry's wellbeing. I also enjoyed learning more about past events and Harry's parents. And of course, the quidditch is so good in this one! I loved that it played a bigger role.

It's been said many times before, the writing isn't always fabulous, but the story is so entertaining. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is hands down my favourite thus far, bringing the storyline to a whole new level.

"The ones who love us never really leave us, you can always find them in here."

"The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed."
