Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is book 3 in the harry Potter Series.To me, this book represents a big turning point (but not THE turning point) in the series.This is where Harry really begins to understand that there are people out in the world that want to hurt him (unlike Professor Snape, who Harry thinks is there to merely make him miserable).Of course, Sirius Black, the Azakaban escapee, is actually Harry's godfather, not a murderer.JK Rowling creates a great literary device with her time turner, which allows the hippogrif Buckbeak to escape with the help of Harry and Hermione.Sirius Black is able to escape with Buckbeak just in the nick of time to avoid being sent back to Azkaban (again).This is a great book with a twist that you won't see coming (unless, of course, you've read my review, which pretty much lays the "twist out for you.)
