Goodreads Harry Potter
Crime and things flying around that don't normally fly?!? Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling is a nice story of youth and how they hang around an old prisoner dude. An obvious theme that structures (pun incoming) the whole book is a frame style of writing. The main way it uses framing is by showing that Harry needs to dig deeper every chapter or so into whatever he is getting into. It shows that he is in a different state of mind through the book and is a good way of showing how he grows. Being loyal to a friend or companion is very important in life, and is shown throughout this book until the end. At parts in this book and most of the other, the author shows that it is important for loyalty to be there. The idea that Ron and Harry are best friends and will go through anything for each other is the big example that could be applied to any book in the series. This is shown when Harry goes and saves Ron from the Whomping Willow. The importance of having an authority figure is a away to explain things that happen in this book also. The kids (Ron, Harry, and Hermione) face many instances where they must go against what their author active figure is telling them. Also, the kids experience times when the opposite type of thing happens too. This book is great, because it shows what happens when three kids grow up with monsters and magical beings. Even though the book uses magical powers and monsters, it still would be a perfect book for any child with wonders of magical worlds in a far away place that still is applicable to today.
