For twelve long years, the dread fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Convicted of killing thirteen people with a single curse, he was said to be the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort.
 
Now he has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter's defeat of You-Know-Who was Black's downfall as well. And the Azkaban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, "He's at Hogwarts . . . he's at Hogwarts."
 
Harry Potter isn't safe, not even within the walls of his magical school, surrounded by his friends. Because on top of it all, there may well be a traitor in their midst.

Harhar Harhar

I love this book I love the characters especially Remus Lupin It was a mind blower that he was a werewolf!

This book is one of the best in the series you must read it.

Totally recommend it . I personally love J.K and am looking forward to other books from her in between 5.8 and 8.4.JK ROWLING IS A TOTALLY AWESOME AUTHOR AND IF ANYONE SAYS ANY DIFFERENT TELL THEM "YOU'RE DEAD WRONG". Thanks -hermoine009

By far my favorite book in the series this book is about a murderer who supposedly followed a very evil very powerful dark wizard and wants to kill Harry Potter because he silenced that evil wizard but in the end of the book you find out that harry got it all wrong! The so called murderer was actually his godfather and never followed the evil wizard!

Harry tries to find the murderer of Syrius Black with his friends Ron and Hermione. The set off an amazing journey around Hogwarts. They have a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. They find out he is a werewolf. Right after they discover Sirius Black is Harry's godfather and an amagargus. That's someone who can change into an animal.

I DID MY WAITING! TWELVE YEARS OF IT!

I loved this book! I do think it was my least favorite from the series, but any Harry Potter book is worth reading!
