Veel mensen beschouwen Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban als een van de beste boeken in de Harry Potter-serie, maar ik ben het hier niet helemaal mee eens. Het is zeker een goed boek, maar de beste? Niet echt. Het blijft een kinderboek, dus ik kan niet veel praten over diepgang of complexiteit. Toen ik het als kind las, vond ik het leuk, en nu ik de serie opnieuw lees, blijft het een leuk boek.
Er zijn een aantal dingen die ik anders zou hebben gedaan, maar het blijft een prima boek voor het gemak. Het is vermakelijk, de spanning is goed opgebouwd, en ik waardeer de ontwikkelingen die het verhaal meebrengt. Maar, zoals altijd: fuck J.K. Rowling, wij haten haar hier.

SOOOOOO GOOOD!!!! Amazing, spectacular, better than I remember. I love this book so much.
Rowling's writing gets better with every book. This a thrilling books with on-the-edge-of-your-seat Quidditch games, an angry Harry, and a werewolf.

This plot is not nearly as fun or interesting as the first two. The middle majority of the story consists of:
- Harry has a Firebolt
- Have you guys seen Harry's new Firebolt
- Why is Hermione so tired?
- I wish I had a Firebolt
- Boy that Lupin sure is tired
- Cats and rats aren't friends so neither are we
- Firebolt Firebolt Firebolt
The ending at least perks up, but I personally just don't find time loops engaging; they're always the same. For some reason I've never found werewolves that exciting either (10th Kingdom the obvious exception).
I think JK Rowling is an immature storyteller. If Ursula K LeGuin and Philip Pullman are fine artists with paintbrushes and chisels, JK Rowling is a Lego architect - impressive in its own right, fun to play with, accessible to children, and not without artistic value. But let's not pretend they're in the same league. It's acceptable and encouraged to have a Lego set or two on display, but for it to be your only decor would be concerning. The details of this magical world are a lot of fun, but I also roll my eyes a lot.

Although it has many storylines and details that the movies do not have, after watching the entirr series more than 10 times, I simply got bored. Just gonna make peace with this universe and explore the new stories waiting for me.
