Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter, #3)

This home prison a.k.a voluntarily quarantine making cookies and throwing them into trash days( I never say I’m a good cook and each day I’m getting worse!) giving me nostalgic vibes. It’s like living never ending mercury retrograde! You don’t want to start a new thing, you have to go back to your past or you have to deal with your unfinished businesses.
Of course this is not a book from my TBR or DNF list. I’ve read it very same day it has been released: 16 freaking years ago when I was still hot, dump, in my silly 20’s . The year I finished it, I flipped my bird to my managers at the workplace and quitted for chasing my writing dreams. (It was not entertaining, sunshine and rainbow story, there is so much rebellion, pain, fight, humiliation but freedom never comes without dues to pay!) And after devouring this book in one day( because I locked myself at my childhood room. Yes, I was single! It was easier to isolate yourself!) and I decided that’s my all time favorite Harry Potter book (I know there were more to come but my life was changing and my three musketeers’ lives were also going different directions. They were finally growing up, just like me!)
Sirius Black has a special place in my heart and at the beginning he escaped from Azkaban and we think he was after Harry to kill him. This book faces Harry’s past trauma about his family, his guilt feelings, night terror, his self insecurities and sometimes we think his inner demons were more terrifying than the outside world’s vicious, dangerous avengers coming after him.
And at the end, Harry and Sirius’s special relationship always melts my heart and fills my eyes in tears. I always find this is one of the most meaningful and genuine relationships JKR formed between two characters.
And we also see the growing pains of two main characters: Ron always loyal, likable, witty and Hermione is passionate, intelligent but also kind-hearted.
Maybe this is the best part of their story because after this book, everything gets bleaker, darker and more violent! My dear three musketeers’ lives will never be the same.
I read this book 16 years by locking myself in my room and as a de je vu or reenactment of my younger and dumber self, I reread my favorite HP book. I smiled, entertained, cried, jumped, horrified again! And I felt good and gave my five gazillion stars over and over again!
In these days, the best thing you gotta do: sticking with the things that makes you happy and rekindle your past experiments by making a visit to your memory lane with a great book!
That’s what I did and it worked so well with me!

They’re my all time favorites🤗 I love this book the most. (Including its movie was directed by Alfonso Cuaron)🤗🥳💕
I was teaching 5th grade the year it was published and because of our brilliant librarian, immediately ordered it from Amazon. It was a magic carpet for my class and even kiddos reading below grade level rose to a higher reading level because of their love of the book.
My amazing principal ordered the second book directly from Amazon UK so we could get on with our amazing adventure with the three enchanting kids. Nothing ever inspired my students to read like it did and never did again. As soon as the movie was released, the magic was over.

I know the feeling. Those books are real magic to help the little brains dream more, expect more and broaden their horizons. JKR did a fantastic job to encourage everyone to be brave enough to imagine and read addictively. Sometimes movies don’t reflect our minds’ pure visions and fail us. So I agree that reading these books are one of the most magical experiences of us! 💕🥰📚🤗
This is yet another reason we’re the divine cowship sisterhood. This is my favourite too. Totally agree re JK she got non readers reading. What a brilliant mind. I love her adult books too. Stay well lovely one ❤️🤗😘
Yay! I feel like I never get bored to read this one! And I cannot agree more, she is a real genius. I hope she release a new Cormoran Strike book sooner. Especially last two book are my favorites! Stay safe and well my friend. Love you💕🥰🤗☕️☕️☕️☕️( when you’re isolated in your own house with your husband for one week, Sundays may seem like your most stressful Monday mornings!😂😂)
nilufer that review makes me cry. it made me think about looking for those little things that make me happy, trying to follow my dreams and hope that tomorrow will be a better day.
I hope you’re doing okay and you feel better tomorrow. We have been testing mentally, psychically in last days. And it’s getting tougher to brighten of our moods. But as like you said let’s keep our hopes up! That’s the only way to go through this madness. It will eventually go away! Sending my best wellness wishes, keep safe dear💕💕🥰
