Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

哈利波特 3：阿茲卡班的逃犯（英國版平裝）

 

　　瑪姬姑姑又要來了！這個名字一出現在德思禮家，就代表著哈利為期一週的惡夢。小時候玩大風吹，她會用手杖猛敲哈利的腳，免得他贏過達力，有一年他不小心踩到了瑪姬養的牛頭犬，只能在樹上躲到三更半夜。瑪姬姑姑跟德思禮家所有人一樣，都以貶低他為樂，直到她侮辱了哈利的父母，被他用魔法變成大氣球……

 

　　在麻瓜的世界裡擅自使用魔法是重罪，哈利擔心自己一時的衝動，會害他永遠回不了霍格華茲，但對整個魔法世界來說，有遠比瑪姬姑姑更嚴重的事。天狼星．布萊克逃離了阿茲卡班監獄！十三年前，他只下了一個詛咒，就殺死了十三個人，如今這個佛地魔追隨者的頭號目標，正是——哈利波特！

 

　　好不容易回到霍格華茲，升上三年級的哈利卻發現，恐怖的「催狂魔」已經悄悄進駐校園。這是魔法部為了追捕天狼星所放出的邪惡生物，牠們喜愛腐敗和絕望，會將人們心中的一切的美好全都吸食殆盡。牠們的到來，讓原本就已危機四伏的校園生活，變得更加令人毛骨悚然。而就在此時，占卜學的崔老妮教授，竟在哈利的茶杯中看到了「死亡」的預兆……

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.
