I've read all the Harry Potter books but I feel that I have to say that this one was by far the best ever. I'm not exactly sure why but after reading The Prisoner of Azkaban I just couldn't think of anything else the next day or two, I was that touched. You must read it! All of the Harry Potter books are must's!

Nikki (Super Fan of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban)
This is my favourite of all Harry Potter books.. Can't quite say why, though, maybe because it's full of suspense and thrills.. My fave' character in this book is none other than Sirius Black.. And by the way..I dislike P. Snape quite a lot.. You did a superb job here, J.K.Rowling, hope you can stay successful.. Thanks, Bye!!

I thought this book was fantastic! When I first hear of the Harry Potter books I though what is the big deal? Then I read the first and I slapped myself. The first book was great. All the Harry Potter books are great. I just recently finished read Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire and loved it! The ending was very surprising like when Lord Voldemort had risen again and Cedric Diggory died. I think that Ms. Rowling is one of the best children's author and she needs to keep up the great work.

I think that this is the best of all four HP books. It is very suspenseful and exciting. I think that everyone should read the HP books. The characters really come alive. I hope you find these books as wonderful as I did.

I have never read this type of books, what makes Harry potter so special is that its so different from the others. I really loved the first three books of Harry potter, my best one is "the chamber of secrets" the third one is great too but the ending is not that good, it didn't had that much suspense as the first too had. Anyways miss J.K Rowling, I really love your books and I can't wait to read the next one. Keep writing. Bye.

I think that this book is awesome! It keeps you on your feet the whole time, and you don't want to put it down! I thought that the end had a very nice twist and it left enough things to put into the seal! I hope that the rest of the books are this good!

This is by far the best Harry Potter book (of the four available to American readers). It is touching, and the story of Sirius Black and the Potter family is one of the most unexpected endings. With every turn of the page, and dart around a corner, there's something new and surprising. Just when you thought you had it planned out, Rowling deals out something absolutely different. This is one of my most favorite books. Go ROWLING!

The book let's you enter the magical world of Harry Potter. Forget your Thursday night television when you can't afford to do anything else. Harry's story is inexpensive and keep and keeps you entertained for hours. Don't miss it. Will Sirius Black conquer Harry?
You'll just have to read it to find out!

This was an awesome book, in the fun tradition of the other two, but with some other special element. I was most touched by the character of Sirius Black. He is just the father figure and link to the past that Harry needs.

All right, first off, I must say that every book in this series so far manages somehow to surpass the one before it. I don't know what lovely Fate fairy decided to whisper the idea for Harry into JK's ear, but I definitely thank it. I got both 'Chamber of Secrets' and 'Prisoner of Azkaban' on Christmas morning, and, after barricading myself in my room with some Christmas pudding and my Eiffel 65 CD, read them both that day. I loved Professor Lupin; there was something very likeable and human about him. I still say Snape should have been eaten by Aragog the Spider, but hey, as Ron says, you can't have everything in life. =) Oh, and a cool side note: Harry Potter got me into USA Today. I wrote a fan fiction back in January, and a Elizabeth Weise from the Technology and Life section read it and liked it so much that she interviewed me for an article on fan written Harry Potter stories. The world is a strange and wonderful place, and if, as my mother says, there is indeed such a thing as karma, then JK Rowling has just shot up the good side of it by about four million points.

I'm 12 and I didn't like Harry Potter at first. I don't know y but, I didn't. But I thought "Aw, what the heck, its not gonna make a difference if I read ONE." So I read it, and I loved it. Now I've read all three and whenever I go 2 the library, first stop, Harry Potter. That just shows that no1 can resist HARRY POTTER. I know that my fave is Prisoner of Azkaban. I liked to read it in the dark so that it was extra creepy. I really liked the Grim, Sirius Black, the HIDDEN PASSAGES, the part when Harry creates the Patronus, And most of all, WHEN HERMOINE DOES THE TIME-TURNER THING. IF U HAVEN'T READ HARRY POTTER, READ IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just have 1 question about it. IS HARRY EVER GOING TO SEE THE SORTING CEREMONY, BESIDES WHEN HE IS IN IT?

The BEST books ever! The H.P. series is, in my mind, on a level with classics like The Lord of the Rings and others. Even if you're a complete skeptic then go and read them today!!! They're not just 4 kids, they're 4 ALL ages (I'm talking 8-110, here). J.K.Rowling is a superb writer, and incredibly talented. The characters are easy to relate to and wonderfully brought to life. If you don't like these books then there must be something wrong with you! The plots are great and full of twists, and when you read them you enter a magical fantasy world , which you wish would never end. I'm 14 & I'll never get tired of these books, not even when I'm 90! I particularly like "H.P & The Philosopher's Stone" because Harry discovers he's a wizard and comes face 2 face with the terrible Dark Lord, Voldemort. I couldn't put it down and read it in one go, staying up till 5AM JUST 2 FINISH IT!!! Buy it NOW!

An excellent book, I loved the character of Sirius Black. The Aunt Marge part was funny, but it could have been better. Professor Lupin was cool. I'd like to see Black appear again, and maybe be cleared of the crime.

Dear J. K. Rowling, I loved your book about Sirius Black and Harry Potter. This is an excellent book, and as everyone says, I couldn't put it down. I'm 11 and a good reader, but I still have all of your magically detailed books. I'm looking forward to a fourth book and I keep re-reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Chris D.

I'd just like to compliment Ms. Rowling on such an extremely awesome book. I'm 14, and I read all three books in ONE MONTH!!! They were the best books I've ever read. I hope the next comes out extremely soon!
