Summary

The day before Harry’s birthday, Ron Weasley stop by Harry’s house to celebrate his birthday, strangely uncle Vernon acted like he didn’t know who Harry potter was. The next day aunt Marge came to the Dudder’s residence for dinner, she later would regret that decision because Harry placed a spell on her after she talked bad about his parents. After her incident Harry left and got pick up by the knight bus London to claim his parent’s magic books and money.

When he got there the Minister of Magic asked Harry to stay there without knowing that Sirius Black was after Harry. While shopping for his book for Hogwarts Harry stumbled across Ron and Hermione, then later they escape the hotel once Sirius Black founds Harry. They hid in the muggle world (the humans world), where Harry starts having visions about his dad. After Harry confronts Black he founded out that he didn’t kill Harry’s parents and it was Voldemort.

Book Trailer

Almost every Harry Potter book starts at the day before his birthday. It usually ends with Harry going back home and fixing all the mistakes he made in the begging of the story. In every book Harry always gets himself in trouble or something is after him.

Themes

Trust, misunderstood, mystery, forgiving and adventure

Other books by J.K Rowling

The whole Harry potter series, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Silkworm, Career of Evil, The Cuckoo's Calling, Lethal White, The Casual Vacancy

My Recommendation

Prisoner of Azkaban is the best in the series because Harry is still kind of new to Hogwarts and that makes the book more interesting. Hermione also has a necklace that lets her time travel, and I think that is the coolest thing that you can possibly have on you, and, plus, it is super smaller so it can go on a trade to go around her neck. This is also one of the first time Harry starts to learn about his past. On top of all that this is the most mysterious and adventurous book of the Harry Potter series.
