Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

The last book I read for my series study was Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J. K. Rowling. Harry Potter’s third year at Hogwarts School of Magic is started with the escape of the dark criminal Sirius Black. The entire school is under the guard of mysterious magical creatures called Dementors as Harry is the target of Sirius Black. This book is loaded with twists and changes as friends become foes and enemies become allies.

A great book for anyone, I found this book to be more in depth than the first two books in this seven book series. The reading level I feel is a bit more advanced, yet I am sure any younger reader would still be enthralled by this series of books. I recommend that if you have not yet picked up this series of books, that you do. If you have read along this far, I urge you to keep reading these books, as the tale of Harry Potter gets wilder and more mysterious with each novel.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second book in the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling. In his second year at Hogwarts School of Magic, Harry is warned not to attend by an elf named Dobby. Supposedly there is dark forces at hand that threaten Harry’s life.

This book fails to be anything less exciting that the first book. This book delivers a mysterious guessing game of trying to figure out how the Chamber of Secrets was opened and what it is that has escaped it. Harry Potter, along with his friends Ron and Hermione, works to solve the dark mysteries that lay under the school.

I would again recommend this book to all readers young an old. It is a fascinating read.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

For my series study I chose to read the Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling. The first book in this series was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. This book was amazingly written, and I understand why so many readers, young and old, have been so intrigued with it. The story of young Harry Potter finding out he is a soon-to-be-famous wizard and his epic survival of Lord Valdamort is a fantasy novel that keeps you guessing till the end.

I do not want to give away much about this book, but I will say that the wizard game of Quidditch, a game played on broomsticks, was probably one of the most interesting aspects of the story. I found myself wishing I could play this game and looking up information on how “muggles” (non-magic folk) played a version of this game.

I recommend this book for everyone, and if school’s permit, a classroom read. I hope everyone enjoys this tale as Harry Potter struggles to get the Sorcerer’s Stone before the evil dark forces.
