Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
by J.K. Rowling
Reread 3/13/2020
Jim Dale's audiobook is still a bit hit or miss for me, but I think the longer I listen to it, the more his voices sound right to me. I'm still not a fan of Hermione's voice, but his Remus sounded pretty close to David Thewlis and I really enjoyed the way he did Sirius. I think it just takes some getting used to, but this book is still my favorite in the series.
***
This is my favorite of the series and it holds up so much. This book had an intensity for me that the first two lacked, and even that the ones after it lack. The story seems more full, and perhaps that's because it doesn't focus on Voldemort as the villain, but I think it's because it focuses so much on Harry's past. I love learning about his parents' generation and meeting the Marauders. But even the Quidditch scenes were exciting, and they can be a bit tedious in the other books at times.
