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.

Great book

This is a great book just like all the other Harry Potter books. It's about Sirius Black, who escapes from Azkaban Prison with dementors following him, and Professor Lupin, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, and Hermione, the girl who loves studying and books, Ron, sticking by Harry's side the whole year, Professor McGonagall, who is the head of Gryffindor house and transfiguration teacher, and Harry himself, with the scare on his forehead, messy black hair, and bright green eyes, who must make it through the year with many surprises and tragedies, including a broken broom, a secret to be discovered, and a new fear, all with his friends at Hogwarts. Please note that there are many, many more characters, but I don't really have time to type all about them. Thanks for reading!
