5. Thirteen year-old Harry Potter has reluctantly spent yet
another summer with Dursley - his relatives. However,
behaved like and not practicing any magic.
It was until Aunt Marge - Uncle Vernon’s sister, came up
with a visit. She has always been particularly horrible
to Harry but this time she has gone too far, he
accidentally turned her into a balloon and made that she
flew into space.
6. Feeling the fear of punishment from his Aunt and Uncle
(And repercussions from Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic,
which strictly forbids students from using magic in the ordinary
world) Harry escapes into the night.
He is immediately taken by the Knight Errant - fantastic triple-
decker purple vehicle that whisks him off to the
Leaky Cauldron pub.
Upon arrival, Harry meets the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge,
who inexplicably does
not punish him for magic
tricks. Harry sleeps in a
pub and later returns to
Hogwarts for a
third year of science.
7. Harry soon learns that a dangerous and enigmatic wizard,
Sirius Black, escaped from Azkaban prison and is likely to
be searched for. The legend has it that Black was leading
Lord Voldemort to Harry's parents, thereby contributing to
their death. What's more - the wizard wants also to kill
Harry.
8. To make matters worse, Hogwarts is playing host to the Dementors,
the terrifying Azkaban guards,
who came to school to protect students from Black. Dementors who
suck the souls from their victims, and - unfortunately for Harry -
seem to have an impact greater than the other students. Fortunately,
the new Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts teaches Harry
the Patronus spell.
9. Besides, the third year of study expires Harry goes on
exploring exciting new creatures like hippogryf Hardodziób,
magical half-horse, half-eagle, eerie encounters with

Grim, breathtaking adventures, including clandestine visits
to the wizard village of Hogsmeade, deciphering the mysteries
of enchanted Marauder's Map, and a terrifying trip to the
Shrieking Shack.
At the same time Harry tries to guess the meaning of the
puzzling behavior of Hermione, that appears and disappears.

Creates.
