Nearly as soon as I finished the second book in the Harry Potter series, I picked up and scurried my way through the third installment, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling.

This third book in the series takes place over the course of Potter’s third year at Hogwarts. I am starting to wonder if every single book in the series will start in the summer the last one closed at. I hope the entire series isn’t quite that predictable in this way. Still, that’s a (mostly) small thing.

I thought I had previously seen the films of most of the early books, but I certainly didn’t recall the ending of this one; that was nice.

I’m really enjoying this series. I’m sad I haven’t picked them up before, but that of course allows me to read them now for the first time.

Here’s the official Rowling site.
