About the book

Loved by millions of readers worldwide, let the third story in the greatest children's book series of all time take you on an unforgettable journey. The hope and wonder of Harry Potter's world will make you want to escape to Hogwarts again and again. There's magic on every page!

When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it's the start of another far from ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea leaves . But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds, with their soul-sucking Kiss .

J.K. Rowling's enduringly popular Harry Potter books continue to captivate new generations of readers. Harry's third adventure alongside his friends, Ron and Hermione, invites you to explore even more of the wizarding world; from the secret passages of Hogwarts castle to the snowy lanes of Hogsmeade. This gorgeous paperback edition features a spectacular cover by award-winning artist Jonny Duddle, plus refreshed bonus material, allowing readers to learn about famous witches and wizards and find out more about the Patronus Charm. Get ready for the magical journey of a lifetime!

'One of the greatest literary adventures of modern times.' - Sunday Telegraph

'Spellbinding, enchanting, bewitching stuff.' - Mirror

'The only thing wrong with it is that you can't put it down.' - Fiona Chadwick, 9 years old

    Klasse Fortsetzung! 😇

    Wirklich faszinierend wie anders es doch an gewissen Stellen beschrieben wird, im Gegensatz zum Film. Wirklich sehr schön zu lesen und irgendwie so gemacht das man nicht zwingend die anderen Bücher davor hätte lesen müssen um gewisse Details zu erfahren. Dennoch ein Muss um alles zu verstehen.

    the grimm and the third year at hogwarts🐺🤍

    »so you did see your father last night, harry … you found him inside yourself« das buch ist für mich etwas ganz besonderes und ich liebe es sehr. es zu lesen hat riesen spaß gemacht. ich zähle hier mal ein paar dinge auf, die es für mich so gut machen: remus lupin, die dementoren, seidenschnabel - buckbeak, die karte des rumtreibers - the marauder’s map, moony wormtail padfoot and prongs, der patronus zauber, sirius black, hermione und krummbein - crookshanks. die ganze welt rund um hogwarts bekommt hier für mich eine unglaubliche tiefe. es finden sich zwischen allen handlungen zusammenhänge und jedes detail erscheint wichtig. man merkt hier was für eine tolle welt sich vor einem erstreckt und wie sich langsam die stränge verbinden und immer tiefer verweben. ich freue mich schon sehr auf den nächsten teil.

Ich liebe Sir Cadogan. Er ist einfach unglaublich lustig 😂 Und ich liebe die Jubiläums- und MinaLima Ausgabe. Eine unglaublich tolle Geschichte, verpackt in wunderschöne Cover ❤
