Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban

The third title in this bestselling series, with a fantastically re-worked jacket to tap into the recognised adult audience. Harry Potter, along with his friends, Ron and Hermione, is about to start his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry can't wait to get back to school after the summer holidays. (Who wouldn't if they lived with the Dursleys?) But when Harry gets to Hogwarts, the atmosphere is tense. There's an escaped mass murderer on the loose, and the sinister prison guards of Azkaban have been called in to guard the school. The texts of the Harry Potter adult editions are identical to that of the standard editions; only the jacket illustrations vary. 'The Harry Potter books are that rare thing, a series pf stories adored by parents and children alike.' The Daily Telegraph Winner of the 1999 Whitbread Children's Book of the Year.
