I love the original Harry Potter story, and this is only enhanced by the beautiful illustrations. Among other illustrations there is Severus Snape, a pack of Hippogriffs, and so much more. We see the owls in their rookery, different students faxing the Bogart, and Harry's aunt blowing up like a balloon. In this book we are introduced to Grindylows and werewolves. There is also a good representation of Professor Trelawney. we are also introduced to the Wizard's Bus and this appears in the cover illustration.
This story is again set at Hogwarts School of Magic. This year Sirius Black has escaped from the wizard prison, Azkaban. It is generally believed he is on his way to kill Harry Potter, consequently Dementors are allowed to be just outside the school, where they can examine all people coming into the school. Problem with this is that harry Potter has a bad reaction to Dementors. This reaction plagues Potter throughout this book. Professor Lupin, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher takes Harry under his wing to teach him a spell to chases the Dementors away.
This book has a terrific ending, when a much different result that that expected. I recommend the book, and especially the illustrated version.
