                 What's up muggles, wizards and witches? Its your friendly, neighborhood Fiction Guru! Welcome to my blog where I help you navigate your way through the must-read books and bogus reads out there. Today I am reviewing the third Harry Potter book in the series- 'Prisoner Of Azkaban' MY THOUGHTS Like the previous HP book, this book started with some funny magical mischief which resulted in Harry leaving his relatives home and accidentally summoning the Knight Bus-  a purple, triple Decker bus for transporting magical beings. In this scene we also get a first glance at the supposed 'Grim' who 'haunts' Harry throughout the year. This book is also the first, where we're introduced to the dementors-  terrifying, phantom-like guards of the wizarding prison- Azkaban who were temporarily residing at Hogwarts because a dangerous 'criminal' by the name of Sirius Black was the first wizard to escape from Azkaban!

What's up muggles, witches, and wizards? This is Fiction Guru- Your best hope at understanding fantasy and mythology[Greek] books through my personal opinions and ratings. you can trust me...I'm a bookworm ;] Without further ado, lets jump right into it! For those who couldn't tell, my first blog piece was about the 'Sorcerer's Stone' so this piece will talk about the second book-'Chamber Of Secrets' In JK Rowling's style the book immediately had a magical start as Dobby the house-elf appeared in Harry's relatives home and got harry into trouble, which led to him being rescued by his best friend in a flying car.

Aloha and welcome to my very first blog- fiction guru, here I will give reviews and recommendations for the books/movies I have read/seen. For starters, lets talk about the magical world of harry potter- 'The philosopher's stone'. For those who don't know- this is a book by J.K Rowling about an orphan boy-Harry potter who, on his eleventh birthday gets a visit from a [half]giant who whisks him away from his horrible relatives and tells Harry that he is a wizard! Now I'm not going to tell you the rest of the story but give my personal views and thoughts on it and at the end will rate the book out of 5 stars with 1 star being 'not that great' and 5 stars meaning 'excellent'. For me, harry potter was a way out of this dreadfully ordinary world and into the bright and colorful world of magic and Hogwarts- a school for witchcraft and wizardry. This HP book contained friendship, adventure, good antagonists and protagonists, etc. thoughts...
