After another dreadful summer with the Dursleys, thirteen year-old Harry
Potter returns to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his
third year. On the Hogwarts Express, he finds out that the mass murderer
Sirius Black, who had betrayed Harry's parents, has escaped from the
wizard prison Azkaban and seems to want to kill Harry for thwarting He
Who Must Not Be Named (Voldemort). While Harry helps Ron look for his
pet rat Scabbers, the train suddenly stops and a hooded figure appears.
Harry suddenly faints. The new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher,
Professor Remus Lupin, arrives and stops the figure, and explains that
the figure is one of the soul sucking dementors, guards of Azkaban.
Once
at Hogwarts, it is announced that the dementors will be guarding the
school emtrances, affecting Harry in a disturbing way. With the help of
his friends, Ron and Hermione, Harry is intent on unraveling the mystery
surrounding Sirius Black and his escape from Azkaban. Spells
