Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Illustrated Edition (Harry Potter, Book 3) (3)

My kids are absolutely LOVING the illustrated versions of these books. The pictures are so beautiful and add so much to an already great story.

These illustrated books are fantastic. The whole family enjoys reading them together.

As lifelong Harry Potter fans, we knew we had to get the illustrated edition by Jim Kay as soon as we saw it. Jim Kay’s illustrations are absolutely incredible—his take on the Harry Potter world brings a whole new level of magic to the books. Every page is a work of art, and the illustrations perfectly capture the essence of the characters and settings we know and love. Seeing these illustrations again has reignited our passion for the series in a way we didn’t expect. It’s like rediscovering the magic all over again! The details are so rich and vibrant, it almost feels like you're seeing the story for the first time. We love showing off this collection to every Potterhead who comes over. It’s one of those things that never gets old, and it’s so much fun to experience the wizarding world through Jim Kay’s eyes. If you’re a fan of the series, this is a must-have—an absolute treasure that brings the books to life in a new and beautiful way!

Nearly everyone on the planet has read the Harry Potter books by now, so I’m not going to give this book a traditional review. I only want to talk about my reading experience with the illustrated edition of The Prisoner of Azkaban. More than any other books, the Harry Potter Series spurred my love of reading. There were times in my life when I felt too busy or burdened to read, but I would always make time each summer for these books as they released. I quite literally grew up with the characters, reading the books at the same age as the characters were. I read the first book in 2000 when I was ten and The Deathly Hallows the summer after my senior year of high school. Even from childhood, I knew I wanted to share these books with my own children someday and have been waiting for the time when they would be old enough to comprehend the stories. Luckily, the books illustrated by Jim Kay were the perfect way to begin these books a little earlier with my young children. We have a tradition going, though my kids know the movies inside and out, I’m being a bit of a mean mom and making my kids wait to read the books as the illustrated editions come out. We are at the mercy of Jim Kay’s talent, waiting until the Goblet of Fire is released in its illustrated form to continue with the series. I also don’t let my kids flip ahead to sneak peeks at the pictures. Each time we turn the page, a surprise is waiting for us on the other side. This makes reading the series even more fun than I expected, as we want to read to more and more just to look at the gorgeous artwork. I was most excited to read The Prisoner of Azkaban because it’s my favorite book of the entire series. The Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs revelation blew my mind as a kid and I couldn’t wait for my kids to experience it too…since it’s unfortunately left out of the movie adaptation. As we crept toward the end of the story, my daughter was begging me to continue reading until my voice was so hoarse, I had to stop. As I hoped, she was nearly as excited about the ending of the story as I was as a child. I’m extremely grateful for these moments, sharing my own childhood favorites with my kids, thanks to J.K. Rowling and Jim Kay. The books and the memories they have fostered will be forever cherished.

The book has awesome illustrations! Definitely recommended for Harry Potter fans!

These illustrated Harry Potter books are absolutely beautiful! It is such a pleasure to have a book of this quality to read! The pages are so thick that sometimes I feel like, "Wait! This can't be just one page", and I try to unstick the pages, but it's actually just one page! The illustrations are such quality artwork and the book is so well-made! I would expect these books to be around $50 each. And, even at that price, they would be worth it!

Great book, I just wish it was wrapped in something before being placed in to the box the way it was with my other items. But the book itself is great, definitely worth the buy!

I recently purchased the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and I am absolutely in love with this book. The illustrations by Jim Kay are stunning and bring the story to life in a whole new way. The attention to detail in each illustration is impressive and truly captures the magic and wonder of the Harry Potter universe. The book itself is a high-quality hardcover with a beautiful dust jacket that features some of the most iconic scenes from the story. The pages are thick and glossy, and the font is easy to read. I especially appreciate the inclusion of J.K. Rowling's original text, which has not been abridged or altered in any way. As a longtime Harry Potter fan, I was thrilled to revisit this beloved story in a new and exciting format. The illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is a must-have for any fan of the series, whether you are a longtime reader or a newcomer to the wizarding world. Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves Harry Potter or simply appreciates beautiful and high-quality illustrated books. It is a true work of art and a wonderful addition to any book collection.

Amazing quality. The book is filled with amazing illustrations that brings a whole new experience. I got it as a gift for someone and she absolutely loved it, highly recommended as a gift for any fan of the series.

Beautiful illustrations & keeps my son entertained! We both enjoy reading☀️

O livro é perfeito, assim como os anteriores dessa edição. Ilustrações lindas. A única coisa que não gostei foi a embalagem enviada pela amazon, considerando que fiz uma compra internacional. O livro veio solto dentro de uma caixa, sem nenhuma proteção. Sorte que chegou inteiro, mas poderia ter sido diferente.

Bought this for my gf who really loved it. If she's happy, I'm happy!
