Loved by millions of readers worldwide, the third book in the greatest children’s book series of all time, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, offers an enchanting and thrilling adventure that will captivate readers of all ages. Dive into the magical world of Harry Potter once more, and escape to Hogwarts again and again. Each page is imbued with magic and mystery!

When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of Harry, it marks the beginning of yet another far-from-ordinary year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This year, Harry must navigate the dangers posed by Sirius Black, an escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, who is believed to be hunting him. During his first Divination class, Professor Trelawney ominously foresees an omen of death in Harry’s tea leaves, leaving him with an uneasy feeling. However, perhaps the most terrifying presence at Hogwarts this year are the Dementors, guards of the wizard prison Azkaban, who haunt the school grounds with their soul-sucking Kiss.

J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban continues to enchant new generations of readers. In this adventure, join Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they uncover hidden secrets of Hogwarts castle and embark on adventures through the snowy lanes of the magical village of Hogsmeade. This beautiful paperback edition features a spectacular cover designed by award-winning artist Jonny Duddle and includes refreshed bonus material. Readers can delve deeper into the wizarding world, learning about famous witches and wizards, and discovering the mystical Patronus Charm. Prepare for an unforgettable journey filled with time-turning, treachery, and transfiguration!

Seven magical stories, one epic adventure.
