Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling

And so we go even deeper into my reading of Harry Potter.

This is another book that I remember not being too thrilled with. I think that I may be confusing the book with the movie and I heard so many bad things about the movie before I saw it that I can't even promise you those were my opinions. Isn't that sad? I really wish that I could go back and read these books for the first time again. I wish that every turn was a surprise. While I read, I sometimes wonder what it was like back then, how I felt the first time.

This reading, though, went so quickly and was so engrossing. I loved it. I love Professor Lupin so much that it was good to see him again. I like that the danger here doesn't feel like it is Lord Voldemort, again. This book just feels like a breath of fresh air in the series. In the two previous books, we are really just getting a feel for the world Rowling has created. In the next book, Harry starts to get a bit whiny and pubescent. This is the perfect island of reading.
