‘Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. Just stick out your wand hand, step on board and we can take you anywhere you want to go.’ 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...

Joanne Rowling geeft het verhaal als vanouds veel vaart – elk boek beslaat een schooljaar, trouw beginnend en eindigend met de zomervakantie – en voegt steeds meer humoristische elementen toe, met als hoogtepunt de marauder’s map, een kaart voor leerlingen die het niet te nauw nemen met de regels.
‘I’m not going to be murdered,’ Harry said out loud.
‘That’s the spirit, dear,’ said his mirror sleepily.
Mijn enige echte ergernis was de animositeit tussen Harry en Draco, die wel heel drastische – en daardoor ongeloofwaardige – vormen aanneemt.

Τρίτο και- ως τώρα- καλύτερο: πολλή περιπέτεια και αρκετό σασπένς. Επιτέλους οι χαρακτήρες, από τους πλακατζήδες Φρεντ και Τζωρτζ Ουέσλυ (σ.σ. φοβεροί!) μέχρι τον Σνέιπ (σ.σ. ανάθεμάσε για προσωπικότητα!), σταθεροποιούνται και διακρίνεται ο ρόλος του καθενός καθαρά. Ο Πόττερ αρχίζει να συναισθάνεται το παρελθόν που κουβαλάει και να εξηγεί πλέον πολλά πράγματα που συμβαίνουν στον αποκομμένο κόσμο του σχολείου "Χόγκουαρτς". Στον "Αιχμάλωτο του Αζκαμπάν" (σ.σ. το Αζκαμπάν είναι μάλλον κάτι σαν Γκουαντανάμο των Μάγων- θα ήθελα να υπάρχει κάποια κριτική σε αυτό), η κεντρική ιδέα μάλλον είναι ότι οι πράξεις και το παρελθόν τον γονιών καθορίζουν σε κάποιο βαθμό και τις πράξεις των παιδιών. Ναι, το βιβλίο έχει μπόλικο παρελθόν μέσα, το οποίο ήταν αναγκαίο να αναφερθεί. Αλλιώς ο χαρακτήρας του Πόττερ στέκει λίγο στον αέρα.

Upon re-reading the novels, it's hard not to see the author's traditionalist, gender-conformist mindset.
Once, I believed in separating the art from the artist, but this is the first time I've had to try doing so while the artist is still alive and using wealth gained from their art to cause suffering.
Writers have power, the living have power, and the wealthy have power. She is all of those things. I have to do what I can to regain the power I gave her, and this is it.
This book will remain a staple for children who have yet to be jaded by the world.

Ach, ich liebe diese Reihe! Hier gab es so viele Ausblicke auf die späteren Teile, das hatte ich ganz vergessen. Die Figuren sind so fantastisch ausgearbeitet, das macht J.K. Rowling wohl keiner nach. Und Leute, die Snape ständig verteidigen, sollten vielleicht noch einmal diesen Band lesen...

I would consider this one of the best of the Harry Potter series. A delightful yet serious journey through the world of wizards.
