Harry Potter, along with his best 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 live with the horrible Dursley?) 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……
A fantastic new story featuring Harry and his friends from the spellbinding J.K.Rowling.
The Harry Potter series emerged from the creative mind of J.K. (Joanna Kathleen) Rowling on a train ride from Manchester to London in 1990.
J.K (Joanne Kathleen) Rowling was born on July 31st, 1965 in Chipping Sodbury, Gloucestershire, England. In 1990, at the age of 26, she was starting work on her third novel(the first two having been abandoned as being 'very bad').The new book was about a boy who found out he was a wizard and was sent off to wizard school. She wrote this story at a café table while Jessica, her daughter was napping. Later on, the little wizard story has expanded to the Harry Potter series that has sparked new enthusiasm amongst children for books. And she has also become the richest woman in England.
