I loved the character development in this book!! The ending was completely unexpected. The book introduces as range of new and interesting characters that complement the story perfectly. This is definitely the best harry potter book of the series so far.

"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" has always been my favorite of the movies, so this was the book I was most looking forward to reading, and it did not disappoint! This novel picks up at year 3 for Harry Potter and the gang at Hogwarts. There is a criminal, Sirius Black, who has escaped from Azkaban, the toughest prison in the wizarding world, whom everyone believes is after Harry Potter. Harry, Ron, and Hermione find themselves tangled up with trying to uncover more about the past and saving the wizarding world's future from those dark wizards who want to see the return of Voldemort.
 

Sirius Black is one of my favorite characters in the entire franchise, so I really loved seeing him finally make an appearance. I love seeing Harry, who was so alone for so long, slowly, each year find his people and find those who truly love him. For so long after the loss of his parents, he was mistreated, and for him to finally get a taste of a real family, it is so gratifying. This novel also introduced my favorite magical item: the time turner. Not only is this item such a cool concept, and really entertaining to see play out, Hermione uses it to attend more classes, which is EXACTLY what I would want to do! This was the movie where I really fell in love for the series, and I am so elated that the book lived up to my expectations!
