About this product
Product Information
For twelve long years, the dread fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Convicted of killing thirteen people with a single curse, he was said to be the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort.Now he has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter's defeat of You-Know-Who was Black's downfall as well. And the Azkaban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, He's at Hogwarts . . . he's at Hogwarts.Harry Potter isn't safe, not even within the walls of his magical school, surrounded by his friends. Because on top of it all, there may well be a traitor in their midst.Product Identifiers

ReviewsPRAISE FOR HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE (September, 1998) "A wonderful first novel. Much like Roald Dahl, J.K. Rowling has a gift for keeping the emotions, fears, and triumphs of her characters on a human scale, even while the supernatural is popping out all over. The book is full of wonderful, sly humor [and] the characters are impressively three-dimensional (occasionally, four-dimensional!) and move along seamlessly through the narrative. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is as funny, moving and impressive as the story behind its writing. Like Harry Potter, [J.K. Rowling] has wizardry inside, and has soared beyond her modest Muggles surroundings to achieve something quite special." --The New York Times Book Review "A charming, imaginative, magical confection of a novel...a glorious debut, a book of wonderful comic pleasures and dizzying imaginative flights. There is no cause to doubt Rowling's abilities and promise, and every reason to expect great things, truly great things, from her in the future." --The Boston Sunday Globe "You don't have to be a wizard or a kid to appreciate the spell cast by Harry Potter." --USA Today "The story delights and the writing gives you goosebumps, the good kind." --Chicago Tribune "The huge cast of characters, set against a fantastic backdrop with good doses of action, humor and fun, will surely captivate..." --Seattle Times * "Readers are in for a delightful romp with this award-winning debut from a British author sho dances in the footsteps of P.L. Travers and Roald Dahl. There is enchantment, suspense, and danger galore (as well as enough creepy creatures to satisfy the most bogey-men-loving readers, and even a magical game of soccerlike Quidditch to entertain sports fans)." --Publishers Weekly, starred review * "After reading this entrancing fantasy, readers will be convinced that they, too, could take the train to Hogwarts School, if only they could find Platform Nine and Three Quarters at the King's Cross Station." --School Library Journal, starred review * "Rowling's first novel is a brilliantly imagined and beautifully written fantasy that incorporates elements of traditional British school stories without once violating the magical underpinnings of the plot. In fact, Rowling's wonderful ability to put a fantastic spin on sports, student rivalry, and eccentric faculty contributes to the humor, charm, and well, delight of her utterly captivating story." --Booklist, starred review "A rousing first novel.... This hugely enjoyable fantasy is filled with imaginative details, from oddly flavored jelly beans to dragons' eggs hatched on the hearth.." --Kirkus Reviews, PRAISE FOR HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE (September, 1998)"A wonderful first novel.

Great condition of 1st Edition Harry Potter and Prisoner of Azkaban and Quick Ship
This 1st edition Harry Potter and Prisoner of Azkaban arrived in excellent condition and quickly. The 1st edition, US printings of the Harry Potter books are a much nicer quality than later editions. Now that my son is old enough to read Harry Potter, I am seeking out 1st editions for him. Glad to have found this one!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Harry Potter
....started series last month....could not stop listening....will miss Harry so very much when last book read. Started this series after I completed J K. Rowling's Comoran Strike mysteries under her pseudonym of Robert Galbraith....loved her writing so much that I started the Harry Potter series. I am in my 80's and never enjoyed fantasy... until now. Thank you J.K. for making an old lady very very happy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very attractive leading "villain." Must read!
Like all the Potter novels, this is a must read for fans. The first books of the series are more suitable for young people (although this ol' lady loved 'em) but they get darker as the series goes along. I loved this one! Yeah, S. Black!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Beautiful and very new.
I needed to get a new copy because my original copy was very old and falling apart from the spine. I am glad I found this one. It's in pristine condition and with the plastic cover wrap it will retain its original form. Thank you.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
