INCLUDES SPOILERS 
 Finished re-reading for the third time on May 1, 2016. I love that Harry never is truly over. I can keep re-experiencing this world whenever I wish. 
 There were so many fantastic parts of this book not included in the movie that I loved reading. Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite movie in the series (not my favorite book though). The reason it is my favorite movie is because of the scene in the Shrieking Shack with Snape, Sirius, and Lupin all pointing their wands at each other. It was the first time watching the films where I was truly convinced that a wand was a weapon. 
 My favorite part of the Prisoner of Azkaban that was not included in the movie was that Crookshanks befriended Sirius' animagus. In the film Crookshanks is often seen chasing Scabbers and Ron & Hermione fight over it. Also, Scabbers does turn up at Hagrid's in the movie just like in the book. But Crookshanks is not in the Shrieking Shack at the climax like she is in the book. 
 At the very end of the book Sirius sends Harry a letter with a little, hyper owl. Harry reads the letter while riding the Hogwarts Express with Hermione and Ron. Sirius offers Ron the owl since he knows Ron lost his pet rat Scabbers. Ron takes the owl in his hands and offers the owl up to Crookshanks asking "What do you think?" This made me actually laugh out loud. Ron had been so angry with Crookshanks throughout the entire book because Crookshanks kept attacking Scabbers but as we all know now Scabbers was actually the cowardly Peter Pettigrew. Crookshanks was just trying to protect the group all along. 
 I will never get tired of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I just love all of the characters so much. JK Rowling is my hero and that's all there is to it!
