The third instalment of the Harry Potter series takes us on a wild chase for the truth about the terrifying prisoner who breaks out of Azkaban and is now on the loose - adult edition featuring stylish jacket art by Andrew Davidson

---

Harry Potter is lucky to reach the age of thirteen, since he has survived the murderous attacks of the feared Dark Lord on more than one occasion. But his hopes for a quiet school term concentrating on Quidditch are dashed when a maniacal mass-murderer escapes from Azkaban, pursued by the soul-sucking Dementors who guard the prison. It´s assumed that Hogwarts is the safest place for Harry to be. But is it a coincidence that he can feel eyes watching him in the dark, and should he be taking Professor Trelawney´s ghoulish predictions seriously?

These adult editions with glorious jacket art by Andrew Davidson are now available in hardback for the first time.
