"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" J. K. Rowling, 1999

I made an emergency reading of this book, because the movie adaptation was just released. Sometimes, when given the choice between literary and cinematic experiences for my first exposure to a story, I will prefer the literary, if indeed the book was written first. This has been the case with Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. I hadn't intended to write a response to my reading of this book. I just wanted to have some fun, but my brain wasn't content with that.
