For twelve long years, the dread fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Convicted of killing thirteen people with a single curse, he was said to be the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort.
 
Now he has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter's defeat of You-Know-Who was Black's downfall as well. And the Azkaban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, "He's at Hogwarts . . . he's at Hogwarts."
 
Harry Potter isn't safe, not even within the walls of his magical school, surrounded by his friends. Because on top of it all, there may well be a traitor in their midst.

I love who you feel magical like the people in the book. I some times dream I'm Harry potter sister. I love who when you read it you can feel like it comes to life. I really like at the end when you figure out in the end how Hermoine is getting to all her classes. I love Harry potter!

This is my favorite Harry Potter book so far. This book has a new character called Sirius Black. He is harry's godfather. Harry and Hermione use an object to save Sirius Black. This is a very important object. Read the book to find out more!

This is one of my favorite such a good book and tons of adventure and not very scary because some people say it is

I personally LOVE this series. If you have not already read these books, you totally should! If you didn't know already, These books are about a boy who finds out that he is a wizard. This is the third book in a series of seven.

I'm sirous. This book is awesome.

i loved this book so much i cant believe it and at first i didn't like it!!!! at first i put it down but then when i picked it back up again i was so into it i could see every thing going on in my head and then after i finished it i watched the movie and it wasn't as good as the book cause the book was more detailed but yeah 5 stars every one should read this series really

I loved this book. Well written and a great ending to the best series I have ever read. I loved getting to know each character and go through their life with them.

Is and probably will stay my favorite of the series. So much of a thriller and bitter sweet ending is like the cherry on top of the sundea of greatness

I enjoyed this book. Sirius Back was a great character, being framed and all. Lupin was the best DADA teacher at Hogwarts, and he was in this book. Like Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets, it has lots of work developed into it's story. Buckbeak was intresting, and Malfoy was as rotton as ever. Overall, great book! Keep up the work J.K. Rowling!

In this book, Sirius has escaped from Azkaban and is looking for Harry Potter. To make matters worse the dementors almost tried to kill Harry and are now guarding the school. Will Harry be safe? Or will Sirius find him in Hogwarts?
