Publisher's Summary

‘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.

Having become classics of our time, the Harry Potter stories never fail to bring comfort and escapism. With their message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new listeners.

Best book in the series

Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban is amazing in and all by itself. The narrator just takes it to another level. #Audible1

Amazing series

This is my second time listening. Just got the HP Trivia game. So needed to listen to the books again. Just as good the second time.

Jim Horrible Read

I agree with so many others. The women in the story are not anything like he portrayed them. Dammit there is a T at the end of Voldamort!!!

Great story - narrative needs improvement

Granger doesn’t sound like she’s whining all the time.

Pronounce the T for Voldemort for goodness sake!

Great, except the voice of Hermione

Honestly my only complaint is the voice he gave Hermione. I can’t help but cringe every time he reads one of her lines. It makes it almost too hard to listen to. But if you can get over that it’s a great performance and of course a great story

Expecto Patronum!

Great story as usual, only qualm is the narrator, as Hermione, sounded whiny and weird. “Har-eeeee!!”
Cringed every time I heard it 😬
