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.

I was hesitant about this book because I wasn’t the biggest fan of the film when I was younger. I didn’t expect I’d read it in a day because I was so immersed in it. There was just something about this book that pulls you in and makes you love it. Maybe it’s because it focuses less on you-know-who and more on Harry’s family, it felt happier. Also I love hermiones character development in this book as well as the introduction of Lupin and sirius
