Harry Potter is a wizard, along with his best friends Ron and Hermione. He is in his third year at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. With the new year beginning and all these interesting things happening you can tell this is going to be a good book. Theres a mad man loose from Azkaban and the thing on peoples minds is that hes going for one person. As the year goes on things happen and it just keeps getting weirder and weirder. This year is going to be a lot different for Harry.
J.K. Rowling writes this book so you think you know whats going on, but really you have no idea. The excitement makes you want to read on just to find out what will happen next. I thought it was scary at some points, but when I went to read on it got scarier and I just couldnt put it down.
The setting is another great part of this book. With magical worlds and new lands of mystery you learn a lot about the surroundings. The main setting is Hogwarts which is the large old castle surrounded by a tall wall. Its usually dark and gloomy with the highlights of sun now and then. Inside the castle it is huge and classic looking with pictures that move around the castle and ghosts that represent each house.
At the end all problems are resolved and things are discovered Harry never knew. He is actually excited this summer and has a good time at the Dursleys. (his aunt and uncle) Harry now has a godfather too, and he is very proud of him. Even though he doesnt see him a lot because he is on the run. Harry gets to learn more about his parents and actually feels like the rest of the kids.
