					Review
	This is by far my favorite of the Harry Potter novels. While Chamber of Secrets was very plot driven with little diversion, Prisoner of Azkaban is so full of diversion that when a new element of the plot comes out, it takes you completely by surprise. This book is extremely well written and the new charcaters are geniously developed. I was captivated from the beginning the the end both times I read it. Don't forget to check out my Azkaban page, with my predictions for the upcoming movie.
