My favorite book series is Harry Potter, and my favorite book from it is the third one, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. In this story, at first Harry blows up Aunt Marge while he’s eating with the Dursleys. His uncle hadn’t let him study magic at home all summer and his aunt also made him very angry. Because of that, Harry left and went back to Hogwarts on the Knight Bus. Although he should have been expelled, Cornelius Fudge lets him back to Hogwarts, in order to protect him from Sirius Black, who wanted to kill him.

Harry found out from Malfoy that Sirius Black betrayed his parents for Voldemort. His new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Remus Lupin, taught him the Patronus charm, which can protect him from the Dementors. One night, Ron’s rat bit him. The rat was actually Peter Pettigrew, and he found out that Sirius was coming . He was actually the one who betrayed Harry’s parents, not Sirius Black. Sirius and Lupin fought with him, but at that time Lupin turned into a werewolf because of the moon, so Peter Pettigrew got away. Sirius was arrested and was going to get a Dementor’s Kiss, but Harry and Hermione turned back time and saved him.
