The third installment to the Harry Potter series. J. k. Rowling continues to draw us in to the world of young wizards and the struggle of good against evil. In this Harry is now 13. His "muggle" family are still in denial over the fact that Harry is a "wizard". This story introduces Sirius Black, who escapes the "unescapeable" prison of Azkaban. Who is Black, and what part does play in Harry's story.

The evil of Voldemort, the killer of Harry's parents, continues to grow in this book. A must read after the first two books in the series.
