Back To Hogwarts
Like you know, I'm a Potterhead. And due to the release of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, I decided to re-read all seven books, I've already read the first two, but I would like to write about this one the most. I really like the book to movie adaptation of this book, but I think the story leaves behind many secrets and surprises that are within it. Not for anything J.K Rowling decided to add them in this specific part, but for the purpose of explaining many things we didn't know of Harry's past. That's why I prefer the book. “I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.” I think this is the book where more tricks happen, and this is phrase everyone has said at least one time, not literally, before doing something bad. I like to see that Rowling understands how we, at the age thirteen, want to explore the world and she portrays it very well in Harry. This is the year when he discovers more about his past, himself and Hogwarts. Also, I found the tight relationship between Hermione and Ron very funny. Although, I like how the second book moved on with the fight between the Dark Lord and Harry Potter, I appreciate that Rowling considered giving us background to the characters we know and the ones she introduced with this book. Making this a full experience of what the Harry Potter story and world is. Like most of the Potter saga books, this one is entertaining, funny but also sentimental and comprehensible. I like how these books make you want to be part of that world and attend to Hogwarts because something inside us want that to be real. At least, for me.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K Rowling starts with the thirteenth birthday of Harry Potter but his new year at Hogwarts awaits with new dangers. A convicted murderer, Sirius Black, has broken out of Azkaban prison, and it seems he's after Harry. Now Hogwarts is being patrolled by the dementors, the Azkaban guards who are hunting Sirius, and Harry thinks that not even Voldemort is more frightnening than them. “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” But sooner or later, Harry discovers that things aren't always what they seem.
What I like the most of these books isn't Harry but the Weasly family, they are always so funny and kind and care for everyone despite being poor, and I think that we all need that reminder, besides I think it's a reference to Rowling's old life.
I was presented to new characters that are great and developed, I didn't see the transformations they had but the outcome and how that result can help our main characters. Besides, I'm amazed by how the author never dries out of imagination. This book uses the magic we already know and brings new, but it never gets old. With a combination of fresh magic, creatures and spells, plus a great plot and our main characters who grow not only physically but mentally, this book involves everything I like about a sequel, making me want to read the next ones. “What you fear most of all is —fear. Very wise...”. I won't say that it's unfortunate that I already know what happens next because I'm reliving my whole childhood. That's one of the reasons I'll never grow tired of these books. Apart from that, I love how Rowling writes and the narrator she uses, I think for these things that happen, an omniscient narrator is perfect because knowing what everyone thinks is so funny that every couple of pages I laugh very hard but I also get to know how everyone reacts to different situations. It's like you know all about them, and I love it.
These books are so distinct each, they follow a story but many things happen. I think that the perfect setting for this story was a school because every book is like a year. Different.

All in all, I know I'm going to continue once again with this saga and I know I'm going to love once more. Because it doesn't hurt to, every once in a while, look back to the past.
