WARNING: As with all my sequel reviews, I highly recommend reading the first two Harry Potters before even looking at this review. My thoughts on those can be found here and here.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is, in my opinion, the best Harry Potter so far. It starts off on his birthday (July 31) when he is called by his friend, Ron, from school. His uncle is furious at this, so he locks Harry up in his room, where he has been delivered by owl some birthday gifts, including cakes, wizard gadgets, and a monster book. The next day, Harry's Aunt Marge comes to visit, and when she goes overboard on insulting Harry's dead parents, Harry accidentally blows her up (like a ballon, not an explosion. Harry isn't an arsonist) her magically, and when he notices, he grabs his stuff, runs out the door, and sees a mysterious black dog before it disappears. He holds out his wand to get more light, when suddenly, a huge purple bus known as the Knight bus picks him up. While aboard this bus, he hears of an escaped magical criminal known as Sirius Black, whose crime involves murdering 13 people with a single curse. Where is the Knight Bus taking Harry? What are the origins of Mr. Black? All these questions will be answered in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban!
