Harry Potter is not a normal boy. He lives with his aunt and uncle and his cousin because his parents were murdered by the most powerful dark lord, Lord Voldemort. He attends a school for wizards called Hogwarts and learns about spells, potions, the dark arts, and etc. Non-magic people are called Muggles and the Muggles are completely oblivious to this world.
In the third book of the Harry Potter series, it starts on Harry’s birthday with Harry lying in his room receiving an owl post from his friends. The next morning Harry hears about a man named Sirius Black and that he escaped from a prison. While this goes on, Aunt Marge comes to visit the Dursleys. Harry accidentally causes his aunt to inflate and then runs away to the Knight Bus. But before he gets on the bus Harry sees a large, black dog. The bus drops him off by Diagon Alley and is awaited by Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic. Harry spends the rest of his summer here before going back to Hogwarts.
When Harry is on the train to Hogwarts with his two best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, the train suddenly stops. The lights start to go out and the train becomes very cold. A Dementor has stopped the train. This causes Harry to faint and Professor Lupin revives him. The next day Harry has his first class, Divination. His teacher, Professor Trelawney, sees a Grim in the bottom of Harry’s cup. The Grim stands for death. His classes then carry on as usual for a little while. Then on Halloween night, Sirius Black breaks into the castle in search of Harry but doesn’t find him. After the holidays, Harry gets trained to fight the Dementors because they affect him the most. They affect him the most because of his past.
The end of the year is coming around which...

...isn’t the brightest of students but he does know a lot about Quidditch. Quidditch is a sport where you fly on broomsticks and try to get a ball through one of the three hoops. Ron has bright red hair and has one younger sister and five older brothers. His father works at the Ministry of Magic.
Hermione Granger is Harry’s other best friend. She is a very smart wizard, a know it all and has brown, curly hair. Hermione is a Muggle-born wizard which means both of her parents don’t have magical powers. Her life revolves around school. Whenever she is not in class, she is either studying, doing homework, or she is in the library reading.
Overall I think this is a great book. I would recommend this book to others but you would have to read the first two books before this one. I would recommend this book because it has a great story line and there is never a dull moment.

    One of the reoccurring events that takes place in the beginning of the book include Harry's desire to hear from his friends. He has gone a couple of months without receiving word, or owl post, from any of his fellow wizards. He is reminded several times that he seems to have no outside friendship from his home. With his encounter with Dobby, the house elf, Harry cannot help but feel left out and unwanted. This feeling is added to by the hatred that his foster family, the Dursley's, share for him. Dudley, Harry's cousin, basically rubs the fact that Harry has no letters from his friends in his face. To add to Harry's unease and loneliness, is the fact that Harry's birthday has arrived with no more acknowledgement. Later, when Dobby casts a spell in the house Harry is blamed by the wizard community, as if it’s his fault. This idea that no one seems to care for Harry is fairly noticeable through the first couple of chapters. The breaking point is when Harry becomes locked in his bedroom, and is fed soup and bread sparingly. This is where Harry's friends rescue him and take him from his misery. Once Harry is rescued he becomes less moody and much happier. This also seems to be a big element in the story. Harry will at times feel like nothing can be worse only to be disproved by some helpful person or situation. Once Harry enters the wizarding world, he is again abandoned, accidentally, and left to his own devices. He ends up in an alley with many people who practice the Dark Arts, or the evil side to magic. Here once again he is rescued from his sad situation by a friend, Hagrid. Looking at what has happened until this point , it is sure to be seen that Harry will find his way out of any dark corner he lands in.

    It has been many years since I thought of my favorite childhood book. It was an interesting part of a series of books. It is pretty well known around the world. The book is called, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” and was written by Joanne Rowling. She is mostly known by her pen name “J. K. Rowling” and was the author of all the Harry Potter books in the series. While the story in itself is pretty lengthy, I will give a relatively brief summary of the main events in the story. The story continues after “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”, which was the third part of the series. The main story of the whole series is basically that of a young boy that enters a 7-year wizard school to learn magic and use these newly acquired skills to attempt to defeat the ultimate evil, in the form of a dark wizard named Voldemort. This book focuses on Harry’s fourth year at the wizard school, called Hogwarts.
