HARRY Potter is the most unusual boy you could come across. He hates the summer holidays because he has to stay with his unbearable Uncle Vernon, his awful Aunt Petunia and his crafty cousin Dudley.

Harry also happens to be a wizard, and always looks forward to the new school year at Hogwarts, when he can leave the Dursleys and meet up with his best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. This is the third Harry Potter book, and I personally think it's the best.

It is another thrilling book where you learn more about the characters and leaves you dying for another book to come out.

The plot twists and turns like a roller-coaster. You think you know what happens, but the plot turns down a different but exciting road.

It's a real holiday treat to curl up and read your daily dose of Potter.

This hard-backed book, in my opinion, is worth every penny.
