| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban | comment |
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third Harry Potter book. Published on July 8, 1999, this was the last book published separately in the US and UK and the last "quiet" release of a Harry Potter book. It is also often considered the point at which the series Grew the Beard.Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban, the wizarding prison. In response, the Ministry of Magic sends Dementors, a Black Cloaked race of dreadful creatures who guard Azkaban, to guard Hogwarts and their Emotion Eating powers seem to affect Harry especially. Remus Lupin, meanwhile, makes his first appearance, taking on the dreaded Defence Against the Dark Arts post.The book's popularity may be partially due to the introductions of Sirius and Lupin, whom some fans consider to be two of the coolest characters in the series. It also marks the point where the books started to become more serialized with each ending setting up the next one (the first two books were largely self-contained stories whose events did not significantly influence the progression of the series' overarching plot). It also has, quite possibly, the most complicated plot of the entire series, drawing in characters and events from all over the place; the Prisoner of Azkaban is obviously important, but the way he is important zig-zags several times over the course of the novel, and the same thing happens to a lot of other characters. The result is that, by the end of this book, the story's landscape has irrevocably changed ... and readers know that things are going to get really interesting from now on.Followed by Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts, in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The film adaptation was released in 2004. | |

Playing Sick: It's strongly hinted that Draco's arm has healed by the time of the lead up to the first Quidditch game of the year, given how performatively he complains about its condition and that he finally dispenses with his bandages just after Hufflepuff beats Gryffindor, engaging in Unsportsmanlike Gloating about the outcome. | |

Curse of the Pharaoh: Ron goes to Egypt and visits a series of ancient Egyptian tombs, which are full of the mutated corpses of Muggle (non-magical) explorers who died of curses. Apparently, the (wizard) emperors back in the day put crazy curses on their tombs to keep out sacrilegious Muggles. | |

My Friends... and Zoidberg: Oliver Wood does it to himself, when he lists the members of the Gryffindor Quidditch team: "We've got three superb Chasers [Katie Bell, Angelina Johnson, and Alicia Spinnet]. We've got two unbeatable Beaters [Fred and George Weasley]. And we've got a Seeker who has never failed to win us a match [Harry]! '(After a long pause in which he realises he's forgotten himself) And me." This leads to a rather heartwarming moment when Fred and George lead the team in saying that they consider him a great Keeper. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Although the previous novel had some darker elements, the series takes on a more serious and mature tone in this volume as it goes into detail about how Harry's parents died. It also explores Harry's darker emotions over his parents' deaths, as well as his darker side, when he attempts to murder Black. The Dementors are genuinely terrifying as they suck people's souls: a Fate Worse than Death. The Shrieking Shack encounter is rather intense with the murder attempt, Harry and his friends disarming Snape at the same time, knocking him out, Snape's rather unhinged behaviour to the point where he was willing to have the Dementor's Kiss performed on Sirius due to their school rivalry (although it may have been down to him blaming Sirius for Lily's death, at that point still believing him to have been their secret keeper), and Sirius and Lupin nearly murdering Wormtail. And it concludes on a Bittersweet Ending, in which despite Harry and Hermione rescuing Sirius and Buckbeak from the Ministry and the Dementors, Harry can't live with Sirius and leave the Dursleys because he is still on the run. Lupin is forced to resign when he is exposed as a werewolf, and Wormtail, who actually betrayed Harry's parents to Voldemort and killed those twelve Muggles, gets away with it — so Sirius can't clear his name and Voldemort returns in the next book, thus fulfilling Trelawney's prophecy. Compared to the all-out happy endings of the first two books, this prepared the tone for the much darker later books. | |

Hypocritical Heartwarming | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_18f2b2b | comment |
Hypocritical Heartwarming: When Snape takes over Defence Against the Dark Arts for Professor Lupin when he's ill, Snape devotes the entire class solely to making Lupin look bad by asking them questions they aren't supposed to cover for several months in the hope that nobody will be able to answer them and ignores Hermione because she'd obviously know. When Hermione then speaks out of turn and starts trying to answer the question, Snape interrupts her and takes five points from Gryffindor "for being an insufferable know-it-all", an action that instantly enrages every single student in the class, even though all of them had called Hermione a know-it-all themselves at some point before. Compounding the effect, the angriest is Ron, who (the narration points out) calls Hermione a know-it-all at least twice a week. Of course, there is a world of difference between saying that to a peer and a teacher saying that to a student. | |

Gone Horribly Right: The purpose behind telling no one that the Potters' Secret-Keepers were switched to Peter Pettigrew was to make sure everyone went after Sirius Black. It worked.

Forgotten Phlebotinum: Cracked wondered why Sirius had to go to jail when Veritaserum, Pensieves, and Legilimency exist.note This would be explained in the next book where Sirius tells the trio that Barty Crouch Sr. had him imprisoned without a trial (and likely with no investigation into the incident). Furthermore, Rowling confirmed that a skilled enough wizard can defend against Legilimency and Veritaserum (Harry suggests to Dumbledore in Book 6 that they could try these on Horace Slughorn, for example, but Dumbledore says he "is an extremely able wizard who will be expecting both"). | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: At the end of the book, things might have gone better if Sirius would have bothered to name whom he planned to kill. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were sure he meant Harry, and his vague wording about being there to kill someone certainly didn't help. Though it's a bit justified considering he was certainly a bit unhinged from his time in Azkaban and his revenge was so close at hand. In the same vein, Lupin might have calmed the situation down had he not danced around why Sirius was there for so long, though he did at least convince Sirius that the kids needed to know why he was really there. Sirius' entire ordeal could have been averted from the start if only he'd told Hagrid that it was Peter who had been the Potter's Secret Keeper and betrayed them when he gave Hagrid his bike before going after Peter himself. | |

Ultimate Final Exam: Professor Lupin has his pupils go through an obstacle course involving magical creatures for their final Defence against the Dark Arts examination — the last creature being a Boggart. Unlike most examples of this trope, there's at least a teacher around to step in if things get out of hand. | |

Save Our Students | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_2565ac2 | comment |
Save Our Students: The previous Defence Against the Dark Arts teachers we saw, Quirrell and Lockhart, were both lacklustre and were not known to have taught their students anything of use, making the subject a joke with the students. Enter Professor Lupin, who proves to be a highly competent expert who teaches the Hogwarts students everything they need to know about dealing with Dark creatures. With him teaching, DADA quickly becomes almost everyone's favourite subject, with only Draco and his cronies daring to disparage him. | |

| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: The guards of Azkaban, the Dementors. This book shows us exactly why they are rightfully feared by most of the wizarding world. Sirius Black throughout the book. He's described as having been Voldemort's most dangerous follower who fooled and spied on the good side when Voldemort was powerful. We learn that he sold Harry's parents out to Voldemort, murdered thirteen people with one curse, wasn't affected by Dementors, became the first person to break out of Azkaban, and apparently knows how to sneak into Hogwarts undetected. Until we learn that he was framed and had sympathetic motives for his actions throughout the book. | |

Calling the Young Man Out: Professor Lupin, one of the kinder teachers and an old friend of Harry's father, calls out Harry for using the Marauder's Map to sneak out of Hogwarts while alleged murderer Sirius Black is at large, supposedly looking for Harry. Lupin brings up that not only could the Map have aided in capturing Sirius Black the last time he was in the castle had Harry handed it in sooner, but that Harry undervalues his parents' sacrifice by being so reckless. He confiscates the Map, and Harry walks away feeling ashamed.While Sirius turns out not to be the criminal everyone believes he is, it is only after Lupin confiscates the Map that he discovers the truth about the real murderer, Peter Pettigrew. | |

Crookshanks was attacking Scabbers because he realized that the rat was an Animagus, and an untrustworthy one at that. He made a bad first impression on Ron by attacking his pet while the latter was getting a medical exam, and clawing Ron up in his attempt to grab the rat. Sirius reveals that Crookshanks could talk to him, enough to convey the gist of the situation. Rather than try to tell Professor McGonagall, who's also an Animagus and able to turn into a cat, Crookshanks spends most of the year trying to catch Scabbers, with Ron noting that Crookshanks definitely has a vendetta and it isn't normal cat behaviour. | |

Kick the Dog | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: It's bad enough that Snape belittles and insults Neville in his own classes, but to have a small rant decrying him as useless to another teacher is beyond cruel. It earns him a Death Glare from Harry. Before that, Snape responds to Neville screwing up a potion by telling him to fix it... because, at the end of the class, Snape will feed the potion to Neville's pet toad, Trevor. Bear in mind, if Neville got it wrong, which Snape clearly expected him to do, Trevor would have been poisoned, meaning Snape basically tried to kill a student's beloved pet for not being good at his subject. And, when Neville manages to get it right, Snape takes off points because Hermione helped him. When filling in for an absent Professor Lupin, Snape instructs the class to write an essay on the best ways to identify and kill a werewolf. Later it's revealed Lupin is a werewolf. In other words, Snape was not only ordering the students to find the best ways to kill their own teacher (a teacher the class has come to respect greatly), Snape was going to have Lupin be the one to read and evaluate the essay. No wonder Lupin tells them they don't need to finish the essay after he returns (Hermione notes that she'd already finished it, though she would not have followed it to the conclusion). Dear Lord, Draco does this. Insulting Buckbeak against Hagrid's explicit instructions, exaggerating the severity of his injury for sympathy points, getting Snape to give him potion ingredients which Gryffindor students had prepared well, trading them for his lacklustre ingredients, and delaying a Quidditch match to gain more favorable weather conditions was one thing. Asking his father to bribe/threaten the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Magical Creatures into murdering an innocent Hippogriff (in a legally sanctioned way, mind you) for a mistake he made is another thing entirely. Even worse, he may have been doing it out of jealousy of Harry, who simply followed Hagrid's very clear and simple instructions and got a free ride on Buckbeak. | |

Later on it is played hilariously straight, as he feels an urge to go looking for Sirius after he finds out some of the Awful Truth. He ends up hating Sirius so much that, when they meet at the end of the book, Harry charges at him and tries to choke him with his bare hands, forgetting that he was unarmed, much weaker than Black, and that Black had several wands on him at the time. Luckily, Sirius is there to protect Harry, not kill him. (In all fairness, Harry has so many people after him that if he wants to go looking for someone who wanted to kill him, he doesn't have to go very far.) | |

Bittersweet Ending: In a departure from the unambiguously Happy Endings of the first two books. Sirius proves his innocence to Harry, Ron, Hermione, Lupin, and Dumbledore, but is forced to go on the run with Buckbeak when Pettigrew escapes. Additionally, Lupin is forced to resign when the school discovers he's a werewolf and Harry worries about Trelawney's prophecy and the consequences of sparing Wormtail and potentially bringing Voldemort back. Dispirited about the prospect of continuing to live with the Dursleys instead of his godfather, Harry cheers up when he gets a letter from Sirius and is glad that he now has someone who he can consider real family. | |

Tranquil Fury: Harry when he finally comes face to face with Sirius and thinking that not only does Sirius want to kill him, but led Voldemort to his parents, resulting in their deaths. He's wrong on both counts. Professor McGonagall when she finds out someone wrote down the passwords for Gryffindor Tower and left them lying around (although actually Neville didn't, and no one knew Sirius was able to ask Crookshanks to slip the list to him in his Animagus form), which resulted in Sirius being able to get into Gryffindor Tower. Justified because at this point, everyone still thinks Sirius was after Harry. | |

You Dirty Rat! | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_475d592d | comment |
You Dirty Rat!: Peter's Animagus form, full stop. One has to wonder how James, Sirius, and Lupin didn't get suspicious about this, especially since an Animagus form is automatic and the wizard cannot choose it. Sirius himself says he'll never understand why he didn't realize Peter was the spy from the beginning. | |

Tricked Out Time | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_4797a4ce | comment |
Tricked Out Time: The climax comes with Dumbledore tasking Harry and Hermione (Ron broke his leg) with doing this to save Buckbeak (executed earlier that day) and Sirius (imprisoned) despite their interference already having happened and needing to remain hidden to avoid scaring their past selves. They lead Buckbeak into the Forbidden Forest before the executioner came out of Hagrid's hut; because their past selves had to run away before the officials saw them, they didn't see Buckbeak's death and only heard what they thought was the executioner cutting off Buckbeak's head, when it was just the executioner taking out his frustrations on an inanimate object. | |

Animorphism | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_4aa3c552 | comment |
Hermione gets a new pet cat in the same book where we learn about a sub-class of wizards who can become animals at will; for most of the book, Ron is constantly suspicious of said cat after he tries to eat Scabbers, several characters note that he seems oddly intelligent for a common housecat, and Hermione's insistence on defending her new pet seems to be a natural set-up for a Devil in Plain Sight plot. The disguised Animagus is actually Scabbers, who has been Ron's pet since the first book. Crookshanks is just an unusually intelligent Evil-Detecting Cat who was on to Scabbers from the outset but knew that Sirius was trustworthy, whether in dog or human form. | |

When Lupin arrives in the Shrieking Shack and embraces Sirius, Hermione immediately accuses him of being Evil All Along and that he has been helping Sirius break into the castle to kill Harry because he's a werewolf. Lupin tells her she only got one of three right. While he is a werewolf, he has not been helping Sirius, and he certainly doesn't want Harry killed. He's actually realised that Sirius is after Peter Pettigrew. | |

Laughing Mad | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_4ae690ca | comment |
Laughing Mad: When Sirius was caught shortly after Voldemort's fall, he was found laughing next to a crater where he had killed Peter Pettigrew and many Muggles, apparently cracked after his master Voldemort was defeated. Except we learn that Sirius was never a traitor. He had intended to kill Pettigrew, but that was because Pettigrew was the actual traitor who caused James' and Lily's deaths. Then Peter faked his death, killing twelve Muggles in the process, and framed Sirius for it. His life having collapsed around him, all Sirius could do was sit there and laugh until the Ministry came to arrest him. | |

"Scooby-Doo" Hoax | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_4b9a8e96 | comment |
"Scooby-Doo" Hoax: Draco and his cronies disguise themselves as Dementors in an ill-advised attempt to make Harry fall off his broom. They themselves fall over and get tangled in their robes when Harry casts a Patronus at them. Professor Lupin is amused with Draco's struggle, while McGonagall is furious with him and the other Slytherins for their attempt to sabotage Harry. The Shrieking Shack is revealed to be not haunted, as legend has it, but was used as a safe place to hide Remus Lupin in werewolf form, when he was a student at Hogwarts. His wolf-like howls were believed to be the shrieks of ghosts, and the Whomping Willow was planted over the entrance to the passage leading to the Shack to deter anybody from entering. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: Rowling continues her trend of recounting basic lore from preceding books, likely for readers who didn't read the first two; Harry is a wizard, he hates the summer holidays, the Weasleys are very poor, and so on.

Disproportionate Retribution: When they were all at school together, Snape was always sniffing around the Marauders, looking to get them expelled. Sirius tried to get back at him by sending him into the path of a werewolf; while Sirius is unrepentant, Snape correctly notes that if James hadn't stopped him from getting too close, Snape could very easily have been killed. | |

Face/Heel Double-Turn: Throughout most of the story, Sirius Black is painted as an unrepentant mass murderer who betrayed Harry's parents and then killed his good friend Peter Pettigrew. Come the confrontation under the Whomping Willow, Black pulls a Good All Along Heel–Face Turn by revealing that he only went to Hogwarts to protect Harry and played no part in his parents' murder. At the same time, Pettigrew pulls an Evil All Along Face–Heel Turn when it's shown that he's been hiding as Ron's pet rat Scabbers for years and that he sold Harry's parents out to Voldemort. | |

As he puts it in a choked voice, "I as good as killed them." Harry is depressed when he realises that due to his Cruel Mercy to Pettigrew, the latter escaped and is likely going to find Voldemort. Although Dumbledore tells him that prophecies are inexact, he's still confused about it. | |

Team Mercy vs. Team Murder: Sirius and Remus initially want to kill Peter for the betrayal of Lily and James, but Harry stops them, believing James would not have wanted his best friends to become killers. Downplayed since Harry suggests giving Peter to the Dementors instead as a Fate Worse than Death, in order to exonerate Sirius. While Peter gets away before facing the Dementors, his life being indebted to Harry ends up paying off in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, when Peter spares Harry, at the cost of his own life. | |

The Villain Must Be Punished: Discussed in the conclusion. Sirius becomes furious that Harry would let Pettigrew go instead of letting Sirius kill him, reminding Harry that the entire reason Harry is an orphan in the first place is Pettigrew selling out Harry's parents to Voldemort. Harry agrees, but says killing him isn't what his father would have wanted and letting him go is more of Cruel Mercy. Dumbledore also says Harry did the right thing even though it resulted in Pettigrew's escape, as this has created a magical bond between Harry and Pettigrew that backfires on Voldemort later. | |

Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat: In the final Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin, the Slytherins start off with a huge points advantage: they're five goals ahead of Gryffindor on the scoreboard, so Harry can't catch the Snitch until the Gryffindor Chasers score six goals, or else Gryffindor will win the game but lose the cup. But rather than use what is essentially free time for Malfoy to catch the Snitch and win the game, the Slytherin players repeatedly try (and fail) to injure the Gryffindor players, causing Madam Hooch to award Gryffindor multiple free penalty shots. This enables Gryffindor to close the points gap and, once Harry grabs the Snitch, win the cup. | |

Forgot About His Powers: Pettigrew transforms back into a rat to escape at a convenient moment. Sure, the Power Trio doesn't know Summoning Charms yet, but Sirius likely does. He could perhaps have found a couple of seconds to Summon Pettigrew and hand him off to Harry or Hermione if he tried. | |

Dying Moment of Awesome: After Lord Voldemort killed James and Lily Potter, Peter Pettigrew exposed Sirius Black's treachery and attempted to duel him at the cost of his life. Or so everybody thought until the events of this book. In fact, he orchestrated what looked like his death, lived as a rat for twelve years, and left Sirius to be Arrested for Heroism. | |

It's also one of only two books not to have a titular chapter, the other one being The Philosopher's Stone. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: While Snape refuses to believe that Harry isn't an arrogant glory hound, he is right to call Harry out for sneaking out of Hogwarts to have fun at Hogsmeade even when everyone up to and including the Minister for Magic is trying to keep him safe from a killer who broke out of Azkaban. Lupin later tells Harry the same thing. Malfoy makes the valid point that assigning thirteen-year-old children a school book that bites, and simply expecting them to figure out that you open the book by stroking the spine, is incredibly irresponsible and unprofessional. Malfoy's parents aren't out of line for being upset that their son was put in the prime position to get hurt by Buckbeak. Even if it is Malfoy's own fault he got attacked. Uncle Vernon voices some of his characteristic views when the Muggle news reports on the escaped prisoner Sirius Black, but he's not wrong to complain that the report never says from where this prisoner escaped. After all, Sirius could be approaching their neighborhood and everyone would be unaware of the threat and indeed, he was just then in the neighbourhood in Animagus form. | |

Also, Snape gets doubly Disarmed by Ron and Hermione, knocking him out. Because of this, he sleeps through The Reveal about Sirius, Pettigrew, and the Marauders' Animagus transformations. Accordingly, he tries to get Sirius kissed by a Dementor and theorizes to Fudge that Harry and Hermione were Confounded. That is, if Snape didn't already know the truth about Sirius and Pettigrew. | |

Idiot Ball | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: James, Sirius, and Lupin not realising that Peter was The Mole for Voldemort and his followers despite being the perfect suspect. Lampshaded by Sirius, who says he'll never understand why he didn't realize it from the beginning. Lupin forgets to take his Wolfsbane Potion on the night of Buckbeak's execution. In particular, Snape specifically mentions that he had come looking for Lupin because he forgot to take his potion, and Lupin is present when Snape says this, but even this isn't enough to jog Lupin's memory and make him go running back to his office to take it, or stay in the Shrieking Shack while the others return to Hogwarts. The consequences of this are pretty dire for all concerned: they lead to Pettigrew's escape, Voldemort's return, and the deaths of Lupin, Sirius, and Snape. | |

Mirthless Laughter: When people are telling Harry about Sirius Black's crime of having killed a street full of Muggles, they make sure to point out the fact that he stood there laughing afterwards as further proof of just how off the rails he is. As we learn by the end of the book, Peter Pettigrew killed all those people, then used his Animagus power to transform into a rat and flee the scene, leaving Sirius to take the blame. J.K. Rowling has clarified in interviews that Black's laughter was this type of laughter, evoked by the sheer insanity of the situation. | |

Later, she makes a similar joke when Trelawney says that 13 Is Unlucky at the Christmas feast table just after Harry and Ron stand up. Everyone except Trelawney chuckles. Lupin says that you have to fight a Boggart this way when they summon your worst fear. Laughter is the opposite of fear, so if you find a way to make people laugh at a Boggart, they lose their power. Harry notes that there is one drawback: when there is no way to make the fear less scary. Lupin has a plan B for that: teach Harry how a Boggart can help him work on his Patronus spell. The Gryffindors laugh at Malfoy's ill-advised attempt to prank Harry by having himself, Crabbe, Goyle, and Marcus Flint dress up as Dementors during the match with Ravenclaw. Harry cast a Patronus strong enough to knock them all over, which made the crowd realize they were fakes. McGonagall is the only one to take the prank seriously, giving the lot detention and deducting fifty points from Slytherin. Harry finds it hilarious because according to Lupin, he "gave Mr. Malfoy quite a fright" and Malfoy gets tangled up in the robes since he was standing on Marcus's shoulders. Lupin is also amused while praising Harry for his technique. It's implied that thanks to this prank, Harry figured out how to defeat a Boggart that takes a Dementor's form. | |

Breather Episode | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_80a247a9 | comment |
Breather Episode: Can be considered this compared to The Chamber of Secrets. Apart from the threatening presences of the Dementors and Sirius Black around the school, the stakes this time aren't quite as high as they used to be. It helps that this is the only book where Everybody Lives. It helps even more that unlike the previous two, Harry actually decides he's had enough of the Dursley's bullshit for one summer and runs away and, thanks in part to a chance encounter with the Minister of Magic, of all people, he realizes he isn't in trouble for blowing up his Aunt Marge, he is free to buy school supplies, hang out in the Leaky Cauldron, and freely do homework for two entire weeks, all relatively independently. The tradeoff, however, is that this book delves into the characters' darker sides (such as Snape's increasingly unhinged behaviour, corruption in the Ministry, and Harry's grief over his parents), which carries over to the other books. | |

Faking Another Person's Illness | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_8166890e | comment |
Faking Another Person's Illness: When he attended Hogwarts, Lupin would often claim his mother was ill as an excuse for his frequent absences since he didn't want anyone to find out that he was a werewolf and needed to be away from the school during his transformations. James and Sirius found out anyway. | |

Entertainingly Wrong | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_81c4faa3 | comment |
Entertainingly Wrong: Before escaping, Sirius was heard muttering to himself in Azkaban "He's at Hogwarts" over and over again. When he escaped, everyone assumed he wanted to kill Harry, considering he was imprisoned for betraying Harry's parents to Voldemort. He never planned to kill Harry — if anything, he was planning to save Harry. The "he" that Sirius kept muttering about referred to Scabbers, Ron's rat, or rather Peter Pettigrew, an Animagus who could transform into a rat and was the one who really betrayed Harry's parents to Voldemort. When Lupin arrives in the Shrieking Shack and embraces Sirius, Hermione immediately accuses him of being Evil All Along and that he has been helping Sirius break into the castle to kill Harry because he's a werewolf. Lupin tells her she only got one of three right. While he is a werewolf, he has not been helping Sirius, and he certainly doesn't want Harry killed. He's actually realised that Sirius is after Peter Pettigrew. | |

Compact Infiltrator | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_828b321a | comment |
Compact Infiltrator: Peter Pettigrew, as a rat Animagus, was the only member of the Marauders who could weave between the Whomping Willow's attacking branches to open the passage to the Shrieking Shack when the Marauders were still at Hogwarts. It was also how Pettigrew could fake his death years later, since he cut off a finger and transformed, slipping down a sewer to let Sirius take the blame for the murders Pettigrew committed. | |

Right for the Wrong Reasons | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_83cef301 | comment |
Right for the Wrong Reasons: When Dumbledore rises from the table to invite Professor Trelawney to join them, at first she refused since she would be the thirteenth, and as a result "the first to rise is the first to die". Turns out there was a person she didn't see, since he was disguised as a rat, which means there were 13 people before she joined; Dumbledore, who rose to invite her, was indeed the first to die. When Harry gets a Firebolt broomstick for Christmas with no card saying who it's from, Hermione assumes Sirius Black sent it and jinxed the broom so it would kill Harry when he rides it. Sirius was the sender, but he didn't jinx it. He sent it to Harry to make up for the thirteen years' worth of Christmas and birthday gifts he didn't get from Sirius since he was locked up in prison. | |

Exactly What It Says on the Tin | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_8409a385 | comment |
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Hagrid sees nothing wrong with assigning The Monster Book of Monsters as required reading for Care of Magical Creatures. You have to tame the book before you can open it, and it is absolutely feral until you do. The manager of Flourish and Blotts really doesn't like these books, given they bite. But it's better than The Invisible Book of Invisibility, which cost a fortune and they never found. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: It's never properly explained how Sirius gets into and out of the castle. It's implied that he got onto the grounds through the Whomping Willow, but that still leaves the castle security (ghosts, Filch, etc.). And Ron points out that Honeydukes probably wasn't broken into because they would have heard about it. The most likely scenario is that he went into the candy shop as a dog when no one was watching, but even then, he didn't have a wand to tap the one-eyed witch's statue. | |

Didn't Think This Through | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_8d0785d5 | comment |
Didn't Think This Through: At the end of the previous book, Harry gave Ron and Hermione the Dursley's telephone number, telling them to call him over the summer. Neither Harry nor Hermione considered that Ron had never used a telephone before in his life; when Ron does try to call, he ends up yelling into the phone, and, in another case of this trope, says that he's a friend of Harry's from school, forgetting that the other three people in the house hate magic. Hermione signs up for every single extra class offered in her third year but doesn't seem to have considered that she not only has to attend the classes, she'll need to do the homework, studying, and exams for each one as well. Even when she's employing time travel to meet all her deadlines, she gets incredibly stressed out and nearly has a breakdown. | |

Fake-Out Twist: When Lupin first appears in the Shrieking Shack and helps Sirius Black in the climax, it appears as though Lupin was The Mole the whole time (paralleling the Quirrell revelation from the first book). However, Lupin quickly explains that he hasn't been helping Sirius because he had believed, as the trio and the Wizarding World at large do, that Sirius betrayed Harry's parents and killed Peter Pettigrew... until he saw Pettigrew's name on the Marauder's Map. Lupin and Sirius go on to reveal that not only was Pettigrew alive and guilty of Sirius's alleged crimes, but he was in the room with them... as Ron's pet rat Scabbers. | |

Draco also gets away with all the trouble he and his father caused to get Hagrid sacked and have Buckbeak executed.

Also downplayed in that Draco may not get punished for his plot to sack Hagrid, but still, Harry humiliates him in a mud ball fight in front of the Shrieking Shack and Hermione slaps him hard. | |

Horror Doesn't Settle for Simple Tuesday | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_9ee065ab | comment |
Horror Doesn't Settle for Simple Tuesday: Sirius breaks into Hogwarts on All Hallows' Eve, acting violently when the Fat Lady refuses to let him into Gryffindor Tower. This is the third and final time something happens on Halloween that poses an existential threat to Harry while he is at Hogwarts (after the troll and Mrs. Norris being petrified). Hermione, presuming that Sirius lost track of time, even points out how lucky it is that he coincidentally broke in while all the students and professors were occupied with the Halloween Feast. In light of The Reveal, it's likelier that it was entirely intentional — Sirius picked that day because no students would be in the tower, only certain traitorous wizards posing as pets. And because Lupin would be confined to his office under Wolfsbane. | |

In all, it's the single greatest aid to rule-breaking imaginable, and Fred and George have put it to great use over the years, so it means a lot to them. | |

Chekhov's Classroom: McGonagall mentions in the middle of a scene focused on Professor Trelawney's dubious oracular record the fact that there are wizards known as Animagi who can transform themselves into animals (of whom she is one of only seven registered in Britain in the last century). Towards the end of the book, we learn that Sirius Black is an unregistered Animagus, as were Peter Pettigrew and James Potter. | |

Rule of Three | |

Rule of Three: Since Harry has Hedwig and Ron has Scabbers, it was really only a matter of time before Hermione got an Loyal Animal Companion of her own. Subverted: Ron also loses Scabbers by the end of the book, and he turns out to have been a disguised Animagus all along. That said, he does receive a pet owl at the end of the book, reinforcing this for now. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Peter. At no point during the story is he in Azkaban, where by rights he should be for his crimes. In the climax, Hermione, Harry, Ron, Lupin, and Sirius are about to deliver him to justice, but he exploits the distraction caused by Lupin's werewolf transformation to escape and start his search for Voldemort, which he does in a matter of weeks as revealed at the beginning of Goblet of Fire. Draco also gets away with all the trouble he and his father caused to get Hagrid sacked and have Buckbeak executed. Justified since he's the son of a wealthy family and the Hogwarts staff can't punish him too harshly. Also downplayed in that Draco may not get punished for his plot to sack Hagrid, but still, Harry humiliates him in a mud ball fight in front of the Shrieking Shack and Hermione slaps him hard. The next book reveals Walden Macnair, the Ministry's executioner, to be a Death Eater. Despite serving Lord Voldemort himself in the past, then responding to his post-summons resurrections, Macnair got himself a steady job at the Ministry of Magic, as an executioner. No doubt he chose/was given the job so he could sadistically enjoy putting down magnificent creatures guilty and innocent alike. While he doesn't get to kill Buckbeak, he does presumably keep his job until Voldemort's public return two years later. Fortunately, by the time Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows rolls around, Hagrid issues a Karma Houdini Warranty and throws him into a wall during the Battle of Hogwarts. Even then, he presumably survives to be put in Azkaban for the rest of his despicable life, unlike many other Death Eaters. | |

Love at First Sight: During the Quidditch match against Ravenclaw, Harry is instantly smitten with Cho Chang, Ravenclaw's new Seeker. Chang will date Cedric Diggory (also first introduced in this book) in Goblet of Fire and eventually become the first love interest for Harry in Order of the Phoenix. In fact, the comments about Cho are the very first signs of Harry's growing sexuality. | |

Motive Misidentification | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_aa3d3d1a | comment |
Motive Misidentification: Everyone believes that Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban prison and travelled to Hogwarts to kill Harry. It turns out he actually broke out to protect Harry because he discovered that Peter Pettigrew, the true culprit in the selling of Harry's parents to Voldemort who framed Sirius for it, has executed a Masquerade as Ron's pet rat Scabbers and is waiting for the right moment to bring Harry to Voldemort. Harry and company think Snape is so determined to bring Sirius to the Dementors just because he's been holding onto a grudge for what Sirius did to him back in their school days. By the seventh book, it becomes clear that the real reason is that at this point in the ovearching narrative, Snape still believes that Sirius was the one who revealed Lily's location to Voldemort, which resulted in her death. Shape won't discover the truth until after Goblet of Fire.. Snape's increased dislike of Lupin is believed to be Snape just being increasingly fed up with not being offered the position himself. It's actually because Lupin is a werewolf and former classmate of Snape's with whom he has an unpleasant history. Harry assumes that Snape's complete freak-out in the climax is because Sirius and James bullied him at school. However, it's really more because Snape assumes like everyone else that Sirius betrayed Lily and James, so he thinks he's coming face to face with the man who he thinks directly caused Lily's death with their old animosity only coming second after this. This is the first hint of Snape's feelings for her in the story, which are later further implied in Order of the Phoenix and then outright confirmed in Deathly Hallows. On a much smaller scale, Vernon initially misunderstands why Harry approaches him when he's about to go to the train station to pick up Marge. He has no desire to let Harry go with him, a sentiment reciprocated from the other direction. Harry simply says that he's willing to echo Vernon's story about where he goes if Vernon will sign the permission form to let Harry go to Hogsmeade. | |

Hagrid even tells Ron that Hermione was worried sick about him after Sirius Black attacked Ron, despite their feud over Crookshanks and Scabbers. | |

Oh, Crap! | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: The Dursleys of all people react like this when Aunt Marge begins badmouthing Harry's parents. Mostly in fear of how Harry will react in his increasingly-less-Tranquil Fury. Harry after he's run away from the Dursleys and realizes that he's now a magical fugitive for blowing up his aunt. As he tells Ron and Hermione later, he thought he was going to be arrested. Hermione when Ron shows her faked evidence that Crookshanks has eaten Scabbers, the blood on the sheets. After Ron wakes up to find Sirius Black standing over him with a knife in hand, McGonagall finds out that Sirius was able to get into Gryffindor Tower because he had a piece of paper with that week's passwords on it. In a shaking voice of Tranquil Fury, McGonagall asks who wrote down the passwords for that week and mislaid them. There's a small squeak from a terrified Neville as he raises a shaking hand. (As it's later revealed that Sirius used Crookshanks to filch the list from Neville's bedside table, this is quite unjust, but as Neville does often misplace things, even he assumes that he really lost it.) Neville, again, when he receives a Howler from his grandmother as a result of this. Ron tells him to run for it, and Neville does, so the Howler goes off in the Entrance Hall instead. Sirius, when Snape rather smugly tells him that he'll get the Dementor's Kiss. Pettigrew in rat form as Sirius lunges for him in the Shrieking Shack. When forced back into human shape, he's squeaking the whole time and trying to beg for his life. According to Lupin, Malfoy's reaction when during the Gryffindor-Ravenclaw Quidditch match, Harry shot a Patronus at him while he was dressed as a Dementor. Harry has one when, while using the Time-Turner and seeing Lupin transform into a werewolf, he and Hermione have to move, and fast, because werewolf-Lupin is about to run into the Forest, straight at them. When he tells Hermione this, she has one too. Not only because of how they can't be seen, but, more obviously, a werewolf is about to come running straight at them. | |

Loophole Abuse: To Harry's dismay, once Vernon refuses to sign his Hogsmeade permission slip, Cornelius Fudge and Professor McGonagall both refuse to sign it since they aren't Harry's parents or legal guardians. So after a year of simply staying in Hogwarts Castle and using the Invisibility Cloak and Marauder's Map, Sirius Black mails Harry a piece of paper recording his desire for Harry to be able to visit Hogsmeade in subsequent books. This works because. Sirius is in fact Harry's godfather, and as such can sign the permission slip, even though he's wanted for thirteen counts of murder. Justified by Dumbledore being the only character outside the trio and Lupin confirmed to know the truth about Sirius at this point. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Draco Malfoy insults Buckbeak after Hagrid specifically warned the class. Even if he was trying to get Hagrid in trouble, at which he succeeded brilliantly, he's lucky that his arm (much less his head) didn't get torn off when it happened, or Madam Pomfrey would have had to bring out the Skele-Gro. Harry himself defies this when Arthur Weasley asks him to promise not to "go looking for Black." Later on it is played hilariously straight, as he feels an urge to go looking for Sirius after he finds out some of the Awful Truth. He ends up hating Sirius so much that, when they meet at the end of the book, Harry charges at him and tries to choke him with his bare hands, forgetting that he was unarmed, much weaker than Black, and that Black had several wands on him at the time. Luckily, Sirius is there to protect Harry, not kill him. (In all fairness, Harry has so many people after him that if he wants to go looking for someone who wanted to kill him, he doesn't have to go very far.) | |

While Snape refuses to believe that Harry isn't an arrogant glory hound, he is right to call Harry out for sneaking out of Hogwarts to have fun at Hogsmeade even when everyone up to and including the Minister for Magic is trying to keep him safe from a killer who broke out of Azkaban. Lupin later tells Harry the same thing. | |

If Harry hadn't bumped into the Minister for Magic of all people, he wouldn't have realized he wasn't in trouble with the law for blowing up his Aunt Marge, and may have tried to live as a fugitive rather than return to Hogwarts. Later Subverted when Harry overhears the Weasleys discussing the theory that Sirius Black broke out of Azkaban to murder him, and he reasons that Cornelius Fudge was looking for him at the Leaky Cauldron because of this fear and acted leniently because he was glad to see him alive. | |

Berserk Button: Harry reacts furiously to taunts about his parents from first Aunt Marge and then Snape. When Snape calls Hermione an insufferable know-it-all, Ron lashes out at Snape, despite having himself insulted Hermione thusly. Don't call Hagrid pathetic in front of Hermione unless you're looking for a slap in the face. Do not venture out of Hogwarts to see Hagrid, especially if you're Harry and have a known murderer out to get you. This book shows us how McGonagall reacts to someone deliberately pulling off foul play in Quidditch. TWICE. | |

Faint in Shock: When the Dementors board the train, Harry relives the death of his mother (he even hears her screaming) and faints when they search his compartment. Later, when the Dementors attack him during the Quidditch match, he falls from his broom. He also faints when trying to defend his godfather, Sirius Black, from them, and casts his second proper Patronus to ward them off. | |

Significant Name Shift | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_bfdbf829 | comment |
Significant Name Shift: Throughout most of the novel, the narration, which is presented from Harry Potter's point of view, refers to Sirius Black as "Black." Harry believes Sirius Black to be a dangerous criminal who was working under Voldemort and who betrayed his parents. After Harry learns the truth, the narration becomes somewhat inconsistent. By the final chapter, it refers to Sirius exclusively by his first name and this continues throughout all remaining novels. | |

Both Sides Have a Point | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_c02f148d | comment |
Harry and Ron call out Hermione for telling Professor McGonagall about the Firebolt, thinking Sirius might have sent it, without even mentioning the possibility to Harry after he rolls it out. Oliver Wood even points out the improbability that Sirius, as a wanted fugitive, could just walk into Quality Quidditch Supplies and buy the most expensive broomstick on display. Weirdly, Both Sides Have a Point: Sirius easily purchased and sent the Firebolt to Harry because Gringotts goblins have much laxer oversight standards than wizards. So he could have cursed the broom had he wanted to. The real issue, of course, is that Hermione didn't tell Harry and Ron about the dangers (though they should probably have tried to work it out for themselves) and merely went and warned their Head of House without telling them. | |

Hope Spot: After convincing Harry of his innocence in the deaths of James and Lily, Sirius offers to adopt Harry formally once he is officially acquitted, and Harry enthusiastically agrees. This marks a brief moment of happiness for Harry since it means that he won't have to return to the Dursleys anymore. Unfortunately, circumstances keep them from clearing Sirius's name, and he has to go on the run again. Tellingly, this is the "memory" that Harry uses to conjure a Patronus to protect himself and Sirius from the Dementors, and fails. | |

Also done comically, as Trelawney doesn't believe a prophecy that she herself just spoke. Ron buys Harry a Sneakoscope, which is basically a Dark wizard-detector. Harry thinks it's broken as it's constantly going off, none of them realising that it only sounds when Scabbers is around because Scabbers is actually Peter Pettigrew, who divulged James's and Lily's whereabouts to Voldemort, in Animagus form. | |

Bad People Abuse Animals | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_d2102da0 | comment |
Bad People Abuse Animals: Draco Malfoy doesn’t physically harm Buckbeak, but insults the animal, leading to Buckbeak attacking him. Later, this trope is played straight when Draco and his also unsympathetic father, Lucius, arrange for Buckbeak’s beheading. The executioner, Walden Macnair, takes delight in his job and is unsurprisingly revealed to be a Death Eater in the next book. | |

Both Snape and Lupin to Harry for sneaking into Hogsmeade, thereby disregarding all the effort everybody is making for his safety, as well as gambling the sacrifice his parents made.

No Sympathy for Grudgeholders | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_d352b919 | comment |
No Sympathy for Grudgeholders: Harry has none for Snape whatsoever, and for good reason. Snape goes out of his way to belittle and insult James (to Harry's face, for the first time in the series, no less), who saved Snape's life from a fully transformed Lupin, and Snape says that if there had been justice, James would have been expelled for his actions. (He does make a case that it wasn't an "act of glorious heroism.") Of course, Snape then outs Lupin as a werewolf, which forces the latter to resign at the end of the school year. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Ron constantly warns Hermione to stop her cat from eating Scabbers, getting irritated when she doesn't take his concerns seriously, and it seems that Crookshanks can understand human speech when Ron mentions where Scabbers is. Crookshanks turns out to be Properly Paranoid about Scabbers being an Animagus named Peter Pettigrew, but Ron couldn't have known that. Harry and Ron call out Hermione for telling Professor McGonagall about the Firebolt, thinking Sirius might have sent it, without even mentioning the possibility to Harry after he rolls it out. Oliver Wood even points out the improbability that Sirius, as a wanted fugitive, could just walk into Quality Quidditch Supplies and buy the most expensive broomstick on display. Weirdly, Both Sides Have a Point: Sirius easily purchased and sent the Firebolt to Harry because Gringotts goblins have much laxer oversight standards than wizards. So he could have cursed the broom had he wanted to. The real issue, of course, is that Hermione didn't tell Harry and Ron about the dangers (though they should probably have tried to work it out for themselves) and merely went and warned their Head of House without telling them. Nicely averted by Hagrid when he addresses Harry and Ron alienating Hermione for the latter half of the book. He tells them he isn't blaming them per se, just that he believes they should value friendship over "broomsticks and pets." Coming from someone who considers some of his pets his best friends, it's a bit ironic. Both Snape and Lupin to Harry for sneaking into Hogsmeade, thereby disregarding all the effort everybody is making for his safety, as well as gambling the sacrifice his parents made. It's definitely more justifiable from Lupin, who was one of James' friends. It's less so from Snape, who uses this as another chance to make cheap shots about James. Later, Hermione to Lupin when she suspected him of having helped Sirius into Hogwarts, even though she was wrong. | |

Hypocrite: Draco Malfoy continually mocks Harry for passing out while in the presence of the Dementors even though, as Fred and George reveal, he reacted to their invasion of the Hogwarts Express by running and hiding in the twins' compartment while nearly wetting himself in terror. Lupin is appalled that Harry never told a teacher about the Marauder's Map, given how useful it would be to catch Sirius or how useful it would be to Sirius if he found it. Yet Lupin never bothers telling Dumbledore (or indeed, anyone except Harry, Ron, and Hermione) that Sirius is an Animagus and knows about the tunnel from the Shrieking Shack onto Hogwarts grounds. In Lupin's defence, he was using the Map to find and track Sirius, and, later, Peter Pettigrew. | |

Treachery Is a Special Kind of Evil | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_d5d34629 | comment |
Treachery Is a Special Kind of Evil: While the mass murder he committed is the most mentioned of his crimes, the narrative goes from treating Sirius Black as a threat to considering him truly evil when it's revealed that he was James Potter's best friend before betraying him and his family to Lord Voldemort. When Sirius is revealed to be innocent and the real traitor, Peter Pettigrew, is exposed, Pettigrew is treated as just as contemptible, to the point that Sirius and Lupin are ready to murder him on the spot. Harry, in a moment of Cruel Mercy, stops them in the hope of Pettigrew facing real justice for his crimes. | |

Extremely Easy Exam | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_d7a0ee55 | comment |
Extremely Easy Exam: For the third-years' Care of Magical Creatures final exam, Hagrid gives everyone a Flobberworm and tells them to keep it alive for one hour in order to pass the test. A Flobberworm is a boring and mostly useless magical creature that does best if left to its own devices. Unlike most examples of this trope, Hagrid isn't trying to reward the students; rather, he's so anxious and depressed about the thought of his beloved Hippogriff Buckbeak being executed that he can't prepare a proper exam. | |

Contempt Crossfire: Harry puts himself between Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew when Sirius tries to murder Peter to avenge the murders of Harry's parents and Sirius's imprisonment. Harry does this not because he has any sympathy for Pettigrew (he rejects his sniveling attempts at gratitude) but because he wants to think that his father wouldn't have approved of his friends killing each other (besides which, leaving Pettigrew alive to face trial is a Cruel Mercy). | |

Expecto Patronum requires them to focus on a happy memory to repel the happiness-eating Dementors. | |

Red Herring | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: Everyone believes that Sirius escaped Azkaban to kill Harry. His target was somebody else entirely. Hermione gets a new pet cat in the same book where we learn about a sub-class of wizards who can become animals at will; for most of the book, Ron is constantly suspicious of said cat after he tries to eat Scabbers, several characters note that he seems oddly intelligent for a common housecat, and Hermione's insistence on defending her new pet seems to be a natural set-up for a Devil in Plain Sight plot. The disguised Animagus is actually Scabbers, who has been Ron's pet since the first book. Crookshanks is just an unusually intelligent Evil-Detecting Cat who was on to Scabbers from the outset but knew that Sirius was trustworthy, whether in dog or human form. | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: Had Buckbeak's execution not been scheduled for sunset during a full moon, Pettigrew would have been arrested and Sirius cleared, completely changing the arc of the next four books. Lupin probably would have also remained a teacher since Snape wouldn't have found Sirius while trying to bring Lupin his Wolfsbane Potion and ultimately outed Lupin as a werewolf out of spite. This is especially funny when it's revealed, three books later, that Voldemort cursed the Defence Against the Dark Arts position. So, this curse ultimately enabled Voldemort to make a new body. Lupin happens to forget his dose of Wolfsbane potion and there is a full moon on the ONE night that shit goes down? This despite him saying he must take the potion every day in the week preceding the full moon, so should one missed dose on the night of the full moon really result in such an egregious transformation? The only reason that Sirius even breaks out of Azkaban in the first place is that: (A) the Weasleys win a Ministry lottery; (B) this is apparently front-page news to the editors of The Daily Prophet; (C) Ron has Scabbers in the picture; and (D) Cornelius Fudge just happened to be carrying that exact issue of The Daily Prophet when he visits Black's cell. Harry just happens to get his hands on the Marauder's Map the very same year that one of its creators is teaching at Hogwarts. The other three were his own departed father, Ron's rat, and lastly, the eponymous prisoner of Azkaban. If Harry hadn't bumped into the Minister for Magic of all people, he wouldn't have realized he wasn't in trouble with the law for blowing up his Aunt Marge, and may have tried to live as a fugitive rather than return to Hogwarts. Later Subverted when Harry overhears the Weasleys discussing the theory that Sirius Black broke out of Azkaban to murder him, and he reasons that Cornelius Fudge was looking for him at the Leaky Cauldron because of this fear and acted leniently because he was glad to see him alive. | |

Walden Macnair was clearly angry upon Buckbeak's escape to the point of swinging his axe into a fencepost. He had no personal gain (other than his apparent friendship with Lucius Malfoy) and likely got paid for his services regardless. This hints at his true allegiance and that his sinister nature goes beyond Just Following Orders. | |

Ma'am Shock: During the confrontation in the Sleeping Shack, once Scabbers is exposed as Peter Pettigrew, Hermione speaks up to ask Sirius a question, addressing him as "Mr. Black", then by his given name; Sirius is visibly taken aback at being addressed as such, having not been spoken to with such politeness for the better part of thirteen years. | |

After Lupin's lesson about Boggarts, Hermione talks about how she wishes she had been able to face it (being one of the few who didn't). Ron jokes that her Boggart probably would have been homework that didn't have a perfect score. During the end-of-year exam, it turns out that he wasn't too far off the mark (specifically, it was McGonagall saying that she had failed all her classes). | |

Hate Sink: Snape is at his most detestable in this novel. With very little of the Deadpan Snarker on display, sadistically torturing Neville openly in class, insulting another teacher publicly in front of his students, and in the end gleefully looking forward to feeding a man to Dementors even when he was willing to come quietly and requested a fair hearing. When it's clear that he won't listen to reason, the trio resort to knocking him unconscious. After the climax, he gets in one last act of spite by outing Lupin as a werewolf (which he had already tried, more subtly, at least once earlier in the year). | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_e83f211c | comment |
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: As if to emphasize the importance of doing well on the O.W.L.s, notorious class clowns and Brilliant, but Lazy students Fred and George Weasley are shown actually studying for the upcoming exam. Usually whenever Snape gets angry, he speaks in a Tranquil Fury that instantly shuts people up. After Sirius escapes on Buckbeak the Hippogriff, he's LIVID, and it's quite possibly the first time we see him shouting. As far as he knows at this point, the man who betrayed Lily to her death has escaped again. Minor one but when Aunt Marge begins asking about the Potters, Harry notes that Dudley has stopped eating, having noticed the brewing tension in the room. On a related note, Harry, who has learned how to survive abuse from Petunia, Vernon, and Dudley, struggles to stick to Vernon's story when Aunt Marge is verbally abusing him, and when she starts badmouthing his parents, "he had never felt angrier in his life. He ignores Vernon's advice to go to bed, tries to correct her, blows her up like a balloon, packs his Hogwarts bags, threatens Vernon and runs away from home in "a reckless rage. After seeing what he was able to tolerate in previous books, and how kind and understanding he is capable of being, seeing him snap, threaten a family member, and dip is a horror to behold. | |

Defied Trope | |

Harry himself defies this when Arthur Weasley asks him to promise not to "go looking for Black." Later on it is played hilariously straight, as he feels an urge to go looking for Sirius after he finds out some of the Awful Truth. He ends up hating Sirius so much that, when they meet at the end of the book, Harry charges at him and tries to choke him with his bare hands, forgetting that he was unarmed, much weaker than Black, and that Black had several wands on him at the time. Luckily, Sirius is there to protect Harry, not kill him. (In all fairness, Harry has so many people after him that if he wants to go looking for someone who wanted to kill him, he doesn't have to go very far.) | |

Over the next two books, she becomes Harry's official crush, and he briefly dates her in fifth year. Walden Macnair, the Ministry's executioner of "dangerous" magical creatures, reappears in the next two books and briefly in the final one. He was a Death Eater and returns to the fold after Wormtail resurrects Voldemort. | |

Locked Out of the Loop | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_f06b07ff | comment |
Locked Out of the Loop: Retroactive example after Deathly Hallows. While Snape was a Death Eater, he was unaware Pettigrew was the spy in the Order of the Phoenix — and thus the one who sold out Lily over to Voldemort. This can be justified between Voldemort's favoritism and compartmentalization of the Death Eaters. Also, Snape gets doubly Disarmed by Ron and Hermione, knocking him out. Because of this, he sleeps through The Reveal about Sirius, Pettigrew, and the Marauders' Animagus transformations. Accordingly, he tries to get Sirius kissed by a Dementor and theorizes to Fudge that Harry and Hermione were Confounded. That is, if Snape didn't already know the truth about Sirius and Pettigrew. | |

Good Shapeshifting, Evil Shapeshifting: The Marauders were a Students' Secret Society consisting of a werewolf called Moony and three unlicensed Animagi called Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs.

After Harry takes his Divination exam, Trelawney predicts that that night, before midnight, Lord Voldemort's most faithful servant, a man imprisoned for twelve years, will set off on a quest to find and revive him. Peter Pettigrew reveals himself to Harry and the reader two chapters later and goes off in search of Voldemort two chapters after that. | |

The Knight Bus' somewhat reckless driver is named Ernie Prang. A prang is a British slang term for a vehicular crash. | |

Have a Gay Old Time: Aunt Marge, who is a dog breeder, says while insulting Harry and his parents: "You see it all the time with dogs. If there's something wrong with the bitch, there'll be something wrong with the pup—" before he interrupts her in mid-word. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Remus Lupin. At the climax of the book when he and Sirius confront Peter with the evidence of his betrayal, Sirius asks him casually, "Shall we kill him together?" and Remus simply answers "Yes, I think so." He then tells Peter that he should have known the two of them would kill him if he were to betray James. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, we learn that Hagrid got his flying motorbike, which he used to take Harry to the Dursleys' house, from Sirius. In this book, Sirius flies away on Buckbeak, Hagrid's pet Hippogriff. After Lupin's lesson about Boggarts, Hermione talks about how she wishes she had been able to face it (being one of the few who didn't). Ron jokes that her Boggart probably would have been homework that didn't have a perfect score. During the end-of-year exam, it turns out that he wasn't too far off the mark (specifically, it was McGonagall saying that she had failed all her classes). | |

Evil Is Petty | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_fe64d5a1 | comment |
Evil Is Petty: When Aunt Marge berates Harry about his "useless" parents, she asks Vernon what job Harry's father had. Despite clearly being nervous that Harry might get mad and use magic, Vernon can't help himself and says James was unemployed, giving Marge more ammo that pushes Harry over the edge.note Technically, this is true — James didn't have a proper job when he died — but that's largely because he was committed full-time to the war against Voldemort and his family's inheritance was enough to keep his family going. Walden Macnair was clearly angry upon Buckbeak's escape to the point of swinging his axe into a fencepost. He had no personal gain (other than his apparent friendship with Lucius Malfoy) and likely got paid for his services regardless. This hints at his true allegiance and that his sinister nature goes beyond Just Following Orders. | |

Evil-Detecting Dog | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_ff6ae1f6 | comment |
Evil-Detecting Dog: Crookshanks. It's no mere Animal Jingoism that has him going after Scabbers all year — he knows the rat is a traitorous Animagus. Similarly, he trusts Sirius immediately, knowing he only has Harry's best interests at heart. At the end of the book, Ron invokes this with the owl Sirius buys him, by holding Pigwidgeon in front of Crookshanks's face and seeing if he reacts, and the cat's purring is taken as confirmation that the owl is perfectly normal. J. K. Rowling later gave Word of Godinvoked that Crookshanks is half-Kneazle, a magical catlike animal who can tell if someone is untrustworthy. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Despite not bothering to hide his loathing for Lupin, Snape still regularly prepares a potion for his health while they're working together. He even comes looking for Lupin during the climax to make sure he takes the Wolfsbane potion. Push Away the Cat: When Sirius tries to prevent Crookshanks' Taking the Bullet for him. Snape explains away the trio knocking him out by saying that Sirius must have Confounded them. He had a prime opportunity to get them expelled or worse and instead just tries to get Harry in trouble for things he can legitimately prove. Once Sirius escapes, however, all bets are off. | |
