Harry Potter and the Prisoner
of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling, published by Bloomsbury in 1997.
This novel was intended for readers who enjoy young adult fiction. Its genre is fantasy, and the book is written in a third person perspective using paste tense. I liked the way J.K. Rowling wrote the novel, and how she set it out. In the beginning of the novel, there are hints towards the main plot of the book. This creates interest and anticipation, and develops further along with the story. This was my favourite out of the Harry Potter series, because it kept the same style as the first two books, but presented bigger themes and became more serious, as the series seems to get darker and grimmer with each book. The good & evil themes in the story progress more, and it becomes a bit confusing which category some of the characters fit in, like Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black. The other characters develop more as well, and some new ones are introduced like Professor Lupin.
Altogether, I liked how the series ‘matured’ as it went on, but especially loved this book because it had all the good qualities from the series. It still maintained some of the innocence from the previous books, while also being a bit more advanced so it wasn’t such a simple read; it required more thought.
