Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - J.K. Rowling
This is the third book in the Harry Potter series. I have to admit this is the first time I read this series, and sadly, I have watched all the films first.
This book differs (slightly more than the other two that I have read) from the films - but the book was definitely better. Only when in the movie Peter Pettigrew is mentioned on the map I thought this was a great thing to add. But still, I loved this book. JK Rowling’s writing style is just beyond compare - and the story that seems to build up in this Volume 3 is the result of a plotting genius at work. I love how she shows Severus Snape as the antagonist throughout the whole series (up to now), and I’m really hoping to get to the part when he gets even more antagonistic later on. I’m also very fond of the characteristics - I love that she gave Hagrid his own style of talking and pronouncing - when Hagrid talks, I can hear him in my head and it’s just so vivid! Love it! The plot twist was awesome on this one. I was really flashed by the film when I first saw it a few months ago and I think that was the point that made me want to read the whole series.
And I am looking forward to reading the other books in the series! But for now, I’m going to stick with something else because I don’t want to lose interest on the series if I read all the books in a row (which is likely to happen, I’m afraid).
So, for the end of this month, I think I’m going to read Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. This is a very personal thing for me to read, but I’ll tell you in my review of that particular book ;)
