Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, is the third book in the trilogy of J. K. Rowlings other Harry Potter books, though she is coming out with four more books in the coming years.
Just to quickly run through the two previous books; Harry Potter is a wizard, who’s parents were killed by the worst dark wizard ever known. The reason why Harry Potter is still around, is because Lord Voldemort failed to kill Harry. His spell hit Harry, but then backfired on Voldemort taking all of his powers with him. Harry is so famous for two things. Withstanding the powers of Lord Voldemort, and, taking him back in to the underworld in hiding. In the first book, Harry receives a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He’s eventually allowed to go, and spends the next six months there learning magic, getting into trouble, and trying to solve mysteries of his past, and the school. In the second book, Harry goes back to his second year at Hogwarts, and gets into more trouble, figures out many astonishing mysteries and learns loads more magic. His best friends in the two books consist of Ron and Hermione (two of his fellow wizard students) and Hagrid the gamekeeper who was expelled from Hogwarts but allowed a job as the gamekeeper.
Now to get to the Prisoner of Azkaban. Harry Potter is back for the summer at the Dursley’s home. The Dursley’s are his mothers sister, and that family detests Harry in every way possible. They keep him locked up in a cupboard in the basement, take his owl (used for delivering mail etc.) his wand, and his trunk of spell books and everything else he could use to do any bit of magic. Harry’s birthday again passes without being noticed by the Dursley’s, but Harry receives presents from Ron and Hermione and also Hagrid.
Over the summer the entire town was in shock for one afternoon when 13 people were harshly murdered by a man known only as Sirius Black, whom no one had seen before. The pursuit of Serious continues for a long time and doesn’t’ end too soon.
Harry counts as the days pass by, waiting for the day when he travels out to catch the train "9 3/4", the train to Hogwarts hidden between trains 9 and 10.
There is a big problem now, though.
Over the course of this summer I read four books. The books I read were Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J K Rowling, The Giver by Lois Lowry, Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix, and Number the Stars by Lois Lowry again. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J K Rowling was the first book I read this summer and I really liked it. I decided to read the 5th Harry Potter book because I had it and I never really got a chance to read it. The book begins were it had left you of in the 4th book when Harry is just about to enter his 5th year at Hogwarts. He still lives with his aunt and uncle whom he hates because they are mean and evil to him. The letters from his friends are very dull and they have nothing to say, which confuses him and makes him furious. He is also mad because he’s still stuck with the Dursleys all summer long. The story goes with his adventures and challenges throughout his 5th year. The genre is fantasy complete with magic. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes the Harry Potter books. I would also recommend that if you have never read any of the previous books you start from the beginning. I can’t wait ‘till the next book comes out!

The movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is the very first of seven movies. The movie emphasizes the value of humility with the role of Harry Potter. The movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone has many great themes, which included heroism and this is a great reason to watch it.
In J.K Rowling’s famous series, Harry Potter, there are many noticeable parallels between the story of Jesus Christ, Savior of the world, and Harry Potter, savior of Hogwarts. J.K. Rowling herself stated, “To me [the religious parallels have] always been obvious.” Harry Potter, although he is clearly not the Son of God, is very much a messianic figure in the series. His birth, life, death, and resurrection are similar to those of Jesus. Harry Potter ultimately sacrifices himself for others much like Jesus did, and is then resurrected due to the power of the Deathly Hallows, or in Jesus’s case, the Holy Trinity. Since Harry is not the Son of God, there are still differences between him and the actual Son of God; however, there are still many similarities. Jesus and Harry had similar births, lives, abilities, enemies, and deaths/resurrections.
This magnificent story is about an eleven year old boy who has been deprived of practically everything all his life. Harry Potter lived in a cupboard under the stairs with his “muggle” relatives. Muggle refers to humans who lack any sort of mystical power. His Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia treated him very poorly because they refused to accept him for whom he is: a very famous child with great potential as a wizard amongst the magical world. As he grew up he never got anything of his own, even on special occasions. He received his spoiled cousin Dudley’s old clothes, which were all too big for Harry. At school Harry was bullied around, at home he never got a full dinner, and his birthdays were often forgotten. Needless to say, he lived a very depressing life.
I was having a conversation with my grandmother about the final book in the Harry Potter series, which had just been released in the summer of 2007. She had bought it for me as one of my birthday presents and we were discussing our thoughts on J.K. Rowling’s ending of the series. As I was explaining what I thought of the book, I referenced several parts of the story. The first
The events continued through Sunday, but the festivities peak took place on Saturday, as vendors, enthusiasts, and performers alike all gathered to transform the typically mundane surroundings of the Commons into the world of Harry Potter. You could get your Hogwarts acceptance letter, see owls, and have your house determined by the Sorting Hat. For a moment in the eyes of fans it truly felt as though the magical brick wall

More so, Harry suddenly finds himself transported to fantasy world of Hogwart’s School, which is an educational institution (a private school) teaches young people how to become wizards. Ironically, Harry arrives at Hogwart’s School (on a mysterious train), and he is surprised that he is already a famous celebrity amongst his peers. More so, Voldemort’s attempt to kill Harry (after had killed his parents) makes him something of a

Harry does not know about special messengers from Hogwarts, until he notices that owls are dropping off letters, especially for him, at the Dursleys’ house. He is not expecting this to happen since his life is so full of sadness and loneliness that no human being would think about his existence. However, the curiosity about the letters leads Harry to find out the truth behind them, but his family tries to keep him away from reading the mail. Occasionally, the hero has an unknown power that serves as a tool to become something different.

Then one day Harry got a letter.
