Yet again we have a well written children’s story full of adventure and intrigue. Harry has returned to school for another term but has the feeling that someone (or something) doesn’t want him there. Then he hears that a dangerous prisoner has escaped from the wizard’s prison and may be after him. This prisoner was apparently involved in the death of Harry’s parents and seems to have every reason to want Harry dead. To say any more would give away too much of the tale.

J K Rowling has written a great series of children’s books that for once don’t treat children like idiots. I have just bought a copy of Harry Potter 4 and I am looking forward to reading it.
