Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the happiest book of the seven-book series. Many readers cite it as their favorite. For one thing, there’s no Voldemort. For another, almost everyone gets something they want. Harry gets a godfather. Sirius gets his freedom. Lupin gets a friend back. Hermione gets extra time. Wormtail escapes with his life. So does Buckbeak. The students get a good Defense teacher. Ron gets a wand and a sandwich from his mother that isn’t corned beef.
