Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Book 3

By: J.K. Rowling

Narrated by: Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry brings the richness of these magical stories to life in the original British recordings.

'Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. Just stick out your wand hand, step on board and we can take you anywhere you want to go.'

Treat your ears to a performance so rich and captivating you'll imagine yourself in the halls of Hogwarts. Wherever you listen, the unmistakable voice of Stephen Fry is guaranteed to guide you ever more deeply into this magical story and transport you to the heart of the adventure.

When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it's the start of another far from ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea leaves... But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds, with their soul-sucking kiss...

What did you love best about Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Book 3?

I prefer the relationship between Harry Potter and his God father. And when Black dead, I was very said and sorry for Harry Potter.

What other book might you compare Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Book 3 to and why?

I like the 7 books, but the most great, I think, is the book 3. Actrually, I think book 1 is the second best and the book 2 is the third best. Because I bacome older, I am now hardly been absorbed by the books 5, 6, 7. But I read them to remind myself of my childhood.
