" The two volumes that shape the first saga ordered the magical worlds of Harry and humorous. Everything was sprinkled with a originality to rival Merlin (the magician of the Round Table), and was impregnated with generous pinches of black magic powder ... Like the hero grows and matures, the second round of adventures of Prince Harry proposes to escape the beaten track of the fable and negotiate the turn of the novel.

It is impossible in so few words to cover all the good that we would like to say about this great novel, to me the best of the series. Two things are certain though: the Christmas holidays 2003 Francophonie will be serene and filled with the noise of the pages you turn, as we read, we like; As for me, I have already begun the long (?) Waiting for the publication of the sixth chapter ... At least in June 2004 should be marked by the theatrical release of "Prisoner of Azkaban" ... like appetizers.
