Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

I just recently started reading the Harry Potter series and I have never seen any of the movies. Well actually as I have finished each book I've watched the movie so I have seen the first two so far. These are my sisters favorite books and J.K. Rowling is her favorite author and we made a deal to read each others favorites so we could discuss them! For an added bonus once I finish all 7 books we will be taking a short trip to Florida to Universal Studios where we will stop at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. She has been before and had a blast although she says its pretty small. She was there for over a week and visited all of the Disney World Parks as well. Lucky girl! Anyways I am always up for a fun vacation so I told her once I finish we will take a sisters trip for just a few days where we will visit the park, beach, and bars!

Now on to the book..... Well I must say Harry Potter is just not my thing. I think the books are written well but maybe a little juvenile for me. I think what is missing is the love interests, I am a sucker for a book with a lil love story thrown in somehow! I would give this book a B. It was just okay for me. I found it interesting but I was able to easily put it down. When I did put it down the story never crossed my mind. A book I would rate at A+ Better than all the rest is one that I hate to put down and when I must I find myself wondering throughout the day what is going to happen in the book. I did enjoy the twists in this book. I was thinking some things and then found out later in the book how wrong I had been! So am I looking forward to the next book in the series? Meh possibly, but I would be lying if I didn't say that was mainly because I want to be able to discuss the books with my sister (who read them when they came out) and most importantly because it gets me one book closer to vacation woohoo!

P.S. I do realize that I am way behind in just now reading Harry Potter since with the movies it has taken the world by storm, but its better late than never right!?

Later lovelies,
Heather
