When Harry and his best friends go back for their third year at Hogwarts, the atmosphere is tense. There's an escaped mass-murderer on the loose and the sinister prison guards of Azkaban have been called in to guard the school. Lessons, however, must go on and there are lots of new subjects in third year - Care of Magical Creatures and Divination among others - to take Harry's mind off things!

A remarkable sequel to the best-selling Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Harry Potter is a wizard. He is in his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Little does he know that this year will be just as eventful as the last even getting there is an adventure in itself! The three firm friends, Harry, Ron and Hermione, are soon immersed in the daily round of Potions, Herbology, Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Quidditch. But then horrible and mysterious things begin to happen. Harry keeps hearing strange voices, sinister and dark messages appear on the wall, and then Ron's sister Ginny disappears

哥伦布先生看见镜头里的丹尼尔，觉得自己好像被一道闪电击中了。他马上意识到：这就是哈利·波特! 原著作者罗琳女士看了丹尼尔的试镜录像带后，说了这样一句话：“我感觉和自己久别的儿子重逢了。” 哥伦布邀请人演员来演出比找小演员要容易多了，在英国演艺圈里如果谁能出演《哈利·波特》那是全家光荣的事，有孩子的演员们被孩子们逼着去参加试镜，没孩子的演员被朋友或者亲戚的孩子逼着去参加试镜。 罗琳的小说里有爱，所以孩子们喜欢，所以大人们喜欢。很多人纳闷为什么这个学历一般的单亲妈妈能写出这样让人着迷的作品，这些人，一定没有认真读过她写的书，没有看到书小真挚无私的爱。 2004年好莱坞排出了“最有钱的年轻明星”的排行榜，丹尼尔排名第二，据说当时身价为1350万美元，现在肯定不止这个价了。而在英国最有钱的少年排行榜中，丹尼尔也是位居第二，第一名是皇室的二王子哈里。他的钱是祖上传下来的，丹尼尔的钱可是自己骑着扫帚挥着魔杖一分分挣的。 不知道韦斯莱太太还有什么小满意的，大儿子娶了全书排名第一的美女，小儿子有望娶回全书排名第一的才女，小女儿更有可能嫁给魔法世界的救世主，两个不成器的双胞胎儿子生意也越做越大。掐指算算，全书的人赢家不是伏地魔不是哈利不是魔法部而是韦斯莱一家人，这世界果然被施了魔法。
