A review by bookphile
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling

4.0

For all the Snape apologist, I really don’t get it. Because when you read the the books, you can see Snape enjoying bullying and being mean to children, showing clear favoritism to Slytherins. Like, he’s not playing mean, or just trying to appear cruel. No, he clearly hates Harry and everyone who associates with him, and punishes them for it.
Despite being labeled clowns, funny ones, and pranksters, the Weasley twins are always first and foremost kind of all their friends and strangers in need. They help Harry with his bags in book 1, without knowing who who is, they always fiercely protect Ginny and try to cheer her up when she’s upset. They tell Wood that he’s an awesome Keeper. And they give Harry the map so he could experience Hogsmeade.
Everyone seems to know that Harry’s aunt and uncle are not the greatest people, but none of them seem to realize the severity of Harry’s situation. Granted, Hagrid wanted to kill Serious for betraying Lily and James, I wonder what he would do to to Uncle and Aunt if he realized what they’ve done to Harry.
There is always a severe lack of Hermione in these books up until the last point. Must we chose between Ron and Hermione? Also, Harry seems to side with Ron a lot.
Oh look Dumbledore gets of his butt and actually attempts to free an innocent man and creature from the corrupt and broken system.
