I'm struggling to find the appropriate words to describe this book. From the first chapter until the very last, so much detail was put into it that the story itself is magical.
Harry has had an unfortunate life, and we know that Hogwarts is his home. It's obvious in the previous two books just how much it means to Harry, since he never got to properly know his parents and this is the only connection he has left with them. However, this book I feel is the one where we can really feel that attachment and appreciation.
Harry learnt the details of his parents death, he learnt he had Sirius Black as his godfather, he learnt his Patronus was inspired by the love for his father, he learnt who is fathers best friends are and all were very moving parts of the book, brimming with raw emotion that gave me goosebumps.
The other chapters in the book are too fantastic - Hermione using time travel to be able to take so many lessons is honestly very inspiring. She is so hard working and determined that she physically drove herself mad, and slapped Draco Malfoy which is brilliant. He also tries to get Buckbeack executed, something that broke my heart so when Sirius rode Buckbeack out of the castle to go into hiding you can only imagine my excitement.
Overall, this is a very inspiring book that I will always consider to be one of my favourites.

The magic is back, but with a higher level of maturity. Prisoner of Azkaban is where Rowling showed readers how the series would age with them, and it’s absolutely glorious.

Reread August 2020
I’m going to start my review the same way as my chamber of secrets review. I don’t and will never support jk Rowling again. But the series does hold a place in my heart and life that I can’t forget or just remove. I started this year with a reread through audiobook of this series and I’m going to keep with it and just always preface that Rowling is a garbage can. She’s horrible. But the series doesn’t belong to her anymore.
Rereading book 3 just hit me in the feels. I love this book. It’s probably my second favorite. But maybe first. I guess we’ll see when I read the rest of the series again. Sirius and Lupin and the Marauders Map, and Buckbeak just are some of my favorite things. I love this book in this series.
It’s weird to reread and forget how much gets flipped around with the movies. Like we get Cedric and Cho in this book where we don’t meet them until the fourth movie. We get more Quidditch in the books than the movies always, and other things of course are definitely different. It’s interesting to see the changes even though I love the movies too. But the books are such a huge part of my life.
Also the audiobooks are fantastic and I love them soo much. I’m so glad that I am listening to them this time around!
REREAD in January 2016
Yep this is probably my favorite. Well if anything it's in my top favorites. And I think that has a lot to due with my love for Sirius Black. He's an absolute favorite of mine. So is Lupin and Buckbeak. I love the Marauders Map and the time turner. It has been some many years since I've read them even though I watch the movies a lot. And that was a lot to due with that I used to only own book 1, and 4-7. So I didn't own my own copy of 2 and 3. But then I bought a copy of them and then I finally bought myself the beautiful box set with Hogwarts on the spine. I will be watching the movie and then continuing on with my reread for book 4 and on.
