I really didn't like the book because Harry kinda creeps me out, and i think that hermoine is hot. =) thx

I think the 3rd Harry Potter book was brilliant, I liked the part where Hermione slapped Malfoy across th face, that was well cool. I hope the upcoming books and films are going to be good. I hope Ron and
Hermione are going to get together.

I really liked the book and I plan on reading all seven. J.K. Rowling is an intelligent woman and I encourage her to keep writting no matter what some people may think of the Harry Potter series.

I liked this book, but it isn't as good as Harry Potter and The Sorcers Stone.

This book was about Sirius Black being held for twelve long years in the dread fortress of azkaban. He was convicted of killing thirteen people with one single little curse. Sirus has escaped and left only two clues for them to find him. One of the clues was found out by the guards which had said that they heard sirus talking in his sleep saying something about being at Hogwarts. The guards were saying he is at Hogwarts and know one would believe them about it. In the end they find out where the guy is at and he is put back in prison.

I've got to agree with George here. This book stunk. It has no plot whatsoever, and makes no sense at all.

i think that after the 1st two books that it wasn't that interesting because it lost the spark it once had. I would rather go back to the first and second books, but i do agree that this one is a bit darker and scarier with more action. I could recommend it for anyone because its an alright book, but i still agree that it lost its spark and its a not as good book to me.
