As Harry, Ron and Hermione return to Hogwarts for their third year things are tense. Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban. Enforcements have been called in to help guard the school. Everyone is on high alert. Cornelius Fudge believes Harry to be Sirius' target.

The third book is where I really got hooked on the series, and the same can be said this time around. The stakes are higher, the action really starts to take off, and I started to really feel invested in Harry's wellbeing. I also enjoyed learning more about past events and Harry's parents. And of course, the quidditch is so good in this one! I loved that it played a bigger role.
It's been said many times before, the writing isn't always fabulous, but the story is so entertaining. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is hands down my favourite thus far, bringing the storyline to a whole new level.

"The ones who love us never really leave us, you can always find them in here."
"The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed."

- THE MARAUDERS!!! What more do I have to say
- One of the best forms of time travelling in fiction, honestly
- Chocolate is a cure-all
- Dementors are genuinely terrifying (and by extension, so is Azkaban)
- Remus Lupin is the bestest boy ever
- The start of the extremely short-lived Sirius/Harry relationship :(
- This is more of a movie thing, but Harry screaming "EXPECTO PATRONUM" gives me chills
- Patronuses (Patronii?) are super cool
- 'I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good' 'Mischief Managed'
- When the Marauders' Map hurled those insults at Snape 😭
- Harry finally snapping at the Dursleys and running away, you slay boy
- Harry living alone in Diagon Alley, you keep slaying boy
- The Knight Bus and Stan Shunpike
- Introduction to Hogsmeade
- Hermione slapping Draco in the good old face
- Wholesome Hagrid moments <s>when he's not trying to kill his students unintentionally</s>
- Pretty cover
- The Quidditch matches, and Gryffindor winning the cup
- 'Harry! Simply splendid to see you, old boy.' 'Marvellous. Absolutely spiffing.' 'Mum! How really corking to see you'
- Percy the Prefect shenanigans
- Fred and George's entire existence, but that's the highlight of every book
