Pros: Harry Potter hits his stride. Cons: Until now Rowling has done a measly job of setting up the series.
I almost didnt make it this far. Lucky for J. K. Rowling, my wife is championing the Harry Potter series. So despite the dullness of Chamber of Secrets weve pressed on to volume three, Prisoner of Azkaban. And where ...
Pros: Brilliantly written, interesting characters, complex plot, consistently amusing Cons: Perhaps one unlikely plot element (see comments)
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third in the Harry Potter series. You can read it and still enjoy it without having read the first two, but you’ll enjoy it a lot more if you have read the preceding books (Harry Potter and the ...
Pros: Expands on Harry, Hermione, and the faculty at Hogwarts...mysteries deepen. Cons: May be too confusing, too complicated, and too violent for young readers.
After seeing "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" back in November, I started re-reading the Harry Potter books, re-imagining the scenes with the new faces I had just met, and remembering to pronounce "Hagrid" with a short A instead of a long A. Then...
Pros: Engaging plot, overall wonderful story Cons: May be frightening for children- more frightening than Chamber of Secrets.
When I first heard about beckytcy's 3rd Anniversary Loyalty WO, I knew I wanted to join up. I originally intended to write a Harry Potter editorial (this category does exist-no OTs for me). Unfortunately, plans have changed and I am now writing about...
Pros: Returning characters. Engrossing plot. Cons: Some people may think the book is too dark.
I am really looking forward to getting the new Harry Potter book on June 21, 2003. I reserved a copy months ago. I can’t wait to see what happens to Harry and his friends next. I decided to read the first Harry Potter books again while waiting ...
Pros: Intriguing story and fun characters Cons: A tad slow in spots
The Harry Potter series has become the publishing phenomenon of the last decade. I am finally getting around to reading them myself, and with the third book, I am beginning to see what all the excitement has been about. The series follows a young ...
Pros: Exciting, interesting, touching. Messages that transcend time and place. Cons: The writing itself, unlike the messages, is sometimes less than inspiring.
Note: This review reveals key elements of the book's plot. Chocolate as a curative for the effects of the Dark Arts? No connoisseur of this worthy confection could possibly doubt it. Quidditch? Learning to love the sport of wizards--a ...
Pros: brilliant plot Cons: may be a bit too intense and intricate for youngest readers
Definitely the most intense of the first three books, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is dark and frightening at times, and there are so many incredible plot twists that it almost requires a second reading just to fully understand ...
Pros: J.K. Rowling's Best Harry Potter Book, So Far. Cons: None.
With the date of June 21, 2003 now drawing closer than ever, the year’s most anticipated book Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix from children’s novelist J.K. Rowling. Already, more clues from Harry Potter websites emerged ...
Pros: Excellent writing and storyline Cons: Complicated storyline, a few curse words
This third book in the Harry Potter series starts like the two before it, on Harry's birthday. Each book gives a new example of how terrible life is for Harry with his aunt, uncle and cousin, the Dursleys. And thus far, Harry has been able to get away...
Pros: Another facinating chapter in the life of Harry Potter! Cons: None at all.
Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban Whoever says that Harry Potter is a childrens book is probably to old to remember being a kid and singing, I dont want to grow up. Well I am not that old and I have to say that the Harry Potter ...
Pros: Adventure, excitement, lots of fun characters, good length, fast read Cons: I'm tired of the Dursley's!
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is written by J. K. Rowlings and was published in 1999. This is the third of the popular book series about the adventures of Harry Potter, a young wizard. This book will be difficult to understand without ...
Pottermania reached its apogee in the United Kingdom a year or two ago when people not obviously hysterical and demented were suggesting that the latest book in the Harry Potter cycle ought to be considered eligible not only for prizes in the category of...
Pros: Fast moving plot. Characters are further developed. Cons: Not for younger children! Dark, sinister plot. Could cause nightmares!
Easily the most sinister and "darkest" of the first three Harry Potter books, I hope that you stop and think about who will be reading it. This is NOT a book for the younger child with a vivid imagination. It will cause nightmares! I would rate it...
