"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is the third book in the beloved Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. The story follows the adventures of Harry Potter, a young wizard, and his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger as they navigate their third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The book was published in 1999 and has since been adapted into a successful film and stage play.

The story begins with Harry Potter (13) spending the summer with his cruel Muggle (non-magical) relatives, the Dursleys. On his eleventh birthday, Harry receives a letter from Hogwarts, and his life is forever changed. Harry learns that a notorious wizard, Sirius Black, has escaped from Azkaban Prison, and the Ministry of Magic believes Black is out to kill Harry.

The trio learns that Peter Pettigrew, a friend of Harry's father, James Potter, betrayed the Potters to Voldemort and framed Sirius Black for the crime. Pettigrew has been hiding in plain sight, disguising himself as Ron's pet rat, Scabbers.
