This book is great!!!!! A book like this makes you want to stay up all night not going to bed so you can keep reading untile you're done. I know when I read it I didn't want to put it down for even a minute. It is a great story with lots of exciting and fun charecters. There is so much going on that anything seems posible and it was writen so well that it feels like you're their yourself!!!! If I were you and haven't read it yet then get it and read it as soon as posible!!!!!

Hi, I am 13 years old and I thought this book was great. It was filled with excitement and it was great. My favorite character was Harry. I thought that it was nice of Hermone and Ron to stick with Harry when times went rough. This is my book report that I had to do for this book.    

The book I read was Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The Author of this book is J.K. Rowling. This is a fiction novel and consists of 435 pages. The Copyright is dated 1999. This book is about a child named Harry Potter who had lost his parents when he was a baby. When Harry lost his parents he had to move into his aunt’s and uncle’s house who had a child the same age as Harry. Harry was a wizard and had to be educated at a wizard school. His aunt and uncle did not agree with this type of schooling and did not treat him well. At the end of the school year Harry would come back to visit in the summer. His aunt and uncle would lock all of his wizard tools, books, and his owl who delivered notes to different people for him in the cabinet.......

Note from BookBrowse: This was a great book report but, unfortunately, I've had to edit some of it out as there is just too much detail about the plot which could spoil the book for somebody who hasn't read it. Remember that there is a difference between a good book report and a good review - a review should say why you like a book and why you recommend it to others - it shouldn't be a summary of the entire plot :)
Thanks!



The Prisoner of Azkaban is definatly my favourate of the Harry Potter trilogy.
The characters are defined in more detail and i love the fact that we can finaly understand about harry's past.
Fred and George just make this magical book even better!
the only problem i found with this book was that i couldn't put it down-when i was supposed to be revising for my GCSE's!

Prisoner of Azkaban rocks!
This book is really good ... it is gripping, and tells some more secrets of Harry's past, as well as opens some new roads which promise mystery in the future books... the time travel has been described really well, although one might say it is really similar to the BACK TO THE FUTURE movies...

THIS book is thoroughly enjoyable but after the first two books , I felt that the magic of the author's pen did not return , this book is not too satisfactory after reading the first two books of the series
kristine catapang

the book is nice... when you read it you'll soon desire to read the next book... and that's sad because after order of phoenix i have to wait for the other.
