'Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. Just stick out your wand hand, step on board and we can take you anywhere you want to go.'

When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it's the start of another far from ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea leaves... But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds, with their soul-sucking kiss...

Rowling's uncanny talent for the perfect plot shows first signs of fatigue

This third Harry Potter book marks a much darker style that will permeate the fourth one much stronger and fully come out in the fifth.

The beginning takes place at the terrible Dursleys again, but the wizard world meddles with the Muggle world from the third page, at first in a humorous way, but then very soon in a completely unexpected way.

Rowling's uncanny talent for the perfect plot shows first signs of fatigue, as the major plot points are announced long in advance. Still, there are many details woven into the story almost flawlessly, and it is so much fun to read that the reader should be able to forgive almost anything.

No rating

Det blir visst ei Potter-bok i året på meg. Jeg setter nok fremdeles mer pris på verden Rowling har skapt enn jeg gjør selve historiene. Denne boka legger opp til at våre helter skal avdekke skurken og hans plott gjennom bruk av magiske kart, gamle fotoalbum og smarte resonnement - men det er jo ikke det de gjør. Heltene snubler seg gjennom nok et skoleår, samtidig som det foregår litt av hvert rundt dem som de egentlig ikke gjør særlig for å finne ut av. Likevel har de etterhvert tilfeldigvis overhørt en del, slik at det er bare de siste puslespillbrikkene de må bli fortalt om til slutt. Jaja. Siden verden er så spennende, fungerer det likevel. Jeg liker også godt de nye tilskuddene til karaktergalleriet, og jeg sluker jo tidsreiseplott.

Nok en gang var lesinga fornøyelig akkompagnert av podkasten Pottergenerasjonen. Det hjelper godt for å få sammenheng både frem …
