Book description
Harry Potter is lucky to reach the age of thirteen, since he has already survived the murderous attacks of the feared Dark Lord on more than one occasion. But his hopes for a quiet term concentrating on Quidditch are dashed when a maniacal mass-murderer escapes from Azkaban, pursued by the soul-sucking Dementors who guard the prison. It's assumed that Hogwarts is the safest place for Harry to be. But is it a coincidence that he can feel eyes watching him in the dark, and should he be taking Professor Trelawney's ghoulish predictions seriously?
Chapter 1: Owl Post
- "Harry scanned the moving photograph, and a grin spread across his face as he saw all nine of the Weasleys waving furiously at him...Right in the middle of the picture was Ron, tall and gangling, with his pet rat, Scabbers, on his shoulder..."
- —Harry seeing the photography of the Weasleys in Egypt.
Harry Potter spends another horrible summer with the Dursleys in mid-1993. On 31 July (his thirteenth birthday), after midnight, he receives gifts and letters from Rubeus Hagrid, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger, each wishing him a happy birthday. According to Ron, his dad, Arthur Weasley, won a Daily Prophet Prize Draw for seven hundred galleons. Mr. Weasley then took the family to Egypt to visit his eldest son, Bill Weasley using the prize money, with the remainder being used to provide Ron with a new wand to replace the one that was broken last year. Harry also learns that Percy Weasley is entering his seventh year at Hogwarts and has been named Head Boy. According to Hermione, she and her parents are currently spending the holiday in France. Another letter arrives from Hogwarts, saying third years are allowed to visit the village of Hogsmeade and that their parent or guardian needs to sign the permission form in order for them to do so.
Chapter 2: Aunt Marge's Big Mistake
- "Bad blood will out. Now, I'm saying nothing against your family, Petunia, but your sister was a bad egg. They turn up in the best families. Then she ran off with a wastrel and here's the result right in front of us."
- —Marjorie Dursley, about Lily Potter.
Vernon Dursley's sister, Marjorie "Marge" Dursley, comes to visit her brother's home. Harry agrees to behave normally during her visit, if his uncle will sign his permission form. After a few days with her, she insults Harry by calling his father, James Potter, a drunk. Harry loses his temper and accidentally inflates her. She floats away, and Harry decides to take Hedwig and his school things and run away, fearing he will almost certainly be expelled from Hogwarts, after using magic outside school.
Chapter 3: The Knight Bus
- "Anyway, they cornered Black in the middle of a street full of Muggles an' Black took out 'is wand and 'e blasted 'alf the street apart, an' a wizard got it, an' so did a dozen Muggles what got in the way"
- —Stan Shunpike telling Harry about Sirius Black.
He reaches Magnolia Crescent and sees a black dog staring at him. In his shock, Harry falls and the Knight Bus, a triple-decker bus designed for wizard transportation, arrives. The dog vanishes and is nowhere in sight. Harry meets the Knight Bus's conductor, Stan Shunpike and the driver, Ernie Prang. Harry departs with the Knight Bus to the Leaky Cauldron in London. He learns from the Daily Prophet, Sirius Black, a convict and a follower of Lord Voldemort, broke-out of Azkaban, the first person to ever do so. He was imprisoned for murdering thirteen people with a single curse in 1981, right after the Potters' murder. At the Leaky Cauldron, he meets the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, in person, though Harry has to pretend that he doesn't know him since Harry and Ron were technically breaking school rules during their previous school year when they saw him in Hagrid's Hut. After explaining that Marge has been restored to normal and her memory modified, to Harry's surprise, Fudge doesn't take any action against him. Fudge books a room for Harry, where he will stay for the rest of the summer, but refuses to sign Harry's Hogsmeade permission slip.
Chapter 4: The Leaky Cauldron
- "Are you planning to eat or sleep at all this year, Hermione?"
- —Harry referring to Hermione's number of classes.
Harry spends the rest of the holidays in Diagon Alley, and on the last day of the holidays, meets up with Ron, Hermione and the rest of the Weasleys. To Ron's displeasure, Hermione adopts a cat, Crookshanks, who harasses Ron's pet rat Scabbers. At some point during the night before 1 September, the day he leaves for Hogwarts, Harry overhears a conversation between Ron's parents, Arthur and Molly Weasley. From what he hears, he learns that when Voldemort met his downfall, Black lost everything, and is now trying to kill Harry. Harry realises that Fudge let him off because he was relieved to find Harry alive. He is unconcerned about Black, doubting that he could harm him at Hogwarts, with headmaster Albus Dumbledore around.
Chapter 5: The Dementor
- "I felt weird, like I'd never be cheerful again..."
- —Ron, about the Dementor.
The next day, shortly before he boards the Hogwarts Express, Arthur tried to warn him about Black and makes him promise not to go looking for Black no matter what he hears. On the train, Harry, Ron, and Hermione share a compartment with Professor Remus Lupin, the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. After several hours, the train breaks down and a sinister, cloaked figure enters. It sucks the happiness out of Harry, who faints, possibly to kiss him, until Lupin drives it off with a spell.
Lupin explains that the creature was a Dementor, a guard of Azkaban, and that they were searching the train for Sirius Black. At Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy taunts him over his reaction to the Dementor. After the sorting ceremony, Dumbledore announces the two changes in staffing during the year: Lupin, and Hagrid, who has been made the Care of Magical Creatures teacher in lieu of the retirement of Professor Kettleburn. Dumbledore also announces that Dementors are to be stationed around the school, as a precaution against Black.
Chapter 6: Talons and Tea Leaves
- "Then you should know, Potter, that Sibyll Trelawney has predicted the death of one student a year since she arrived at this school. None of them has died yet. Seeing death omens is her favorite way of greeting a new class."
- —Professor McGonagall, about predictions.
Although initially nervous, Harry successfully approaches and then rides a grey hippogriff named Buckbeak. Later in the lesson, Malfoy, who had not been listening to Hagrid's lecture, insults Buckbeak, causing it to slash his arm with its talons. He is taken to the hospital wing, and Hagrid fears that he will take the blame for letting Buckbeak attack Malfoy, even though Malfoy provoked it in the first place.
Chapter 7: The Boggart in the Wardrobe
- "What would it have been for you? A piece of homework that only got nine out of ten?"
- —Ron, to Hermione about her Boggart.
Later in the week, in Potions, Malfoy returns with a heavily bandaged arm. Although it is implied that he is exaggerating the seriousness of the injury, there is no way to prove it. Harry learns that Black has been sighted near Hogwarts. During the lesson, Malfoy hints that Black may be connected to Harry's past. In Defence against the Dark Arts, Lupin teaches the third years about Boggarts, shape-shifters that take the shape of a person's worst fear. The class then take on the Boggart, forcing it to assume a shape they find amusing. When it comes to Harry's turn, the Boggart transforms into a Dementor and Lupin repels the boggart for him, which takes the shape of the moon. Harry is disappointed that Lupin does not let him fight the Boggart, thinking that Lupin feels he is not up to the task.
Chapter 8: Flight of the Fat Lady
- "Oh yes, Professorhead, he got very angry when she wouldn't let him, you see. Nasty temper he's got, that Sirius Black."
- —Peeves to Professor Dumbledore regarding the Fat Lady.
In October, third years visit Hogsmeade on the weekend, and only Harry isn't allowed, because his uncle did not sign his permission form. Harry then spends the day in Lupin's office, drinking tea with him. Lupin tells him that he didn't have Harry practise the spell, assuming his boggart would become Lord Voldemort. He learns that Lupin was an old school friend of Harry's father, James. Shortly afterwards, Snape appears with a mysterious potion for Lupin. Lupin claims to simply have an illness that is aided by the potion. A few hours later, Ron and Hermione return. They reach the portrait of the Fat Lady and see it slashed and the Fat Lady gone. When Dumbledore, Argus Filch, and Percy find her after Peeves reveals that he saw her fleeing through another portrait because she would not allow Sirius Black into Gryffindor Tower. Every student is moved in the Great Hall to sleep, while teachers search the castle. They fail to find any sign of Black, and Snape suggests that someone inside the castle helped Black enter it. Dumbledore refutes this argument.
Chapter 9: Grim Defeat
- "Well, you know the Whomping Willow. It - it doesn't like being hit."
- —Ron regarding Harry's Nimbus 2000.
Lupin becomes ill and Snape takes his place whenever he's absent. Oddly, he ignores Lupin's syllabus and instead gives a lesson on werewolves. The Quidditch season also begins during this time, but due to Malfoy's injury, Gryffindor are unable to play against Slytherin, so they play against Hufflepuff in the first match instead. It is raining badly, and Harry sees a large black dog in the topmost empty row of seats in the Quidditch stadium, which appears to be the grim. Dementors enter the match, causing Harry to faint and fall from his broomstick. Dumbledore saves Harry, but his Nimbus 2000 broomstick flies into the Whomping Willow and is destroyed, and Hufflepuff win the match shortly afterwards. After the match, Harry asks Lupin if he can give him private lessons on teaching him the spell to drive off Dementors in case another one arrives at the next match. Lupin says he will, but after the Christmas holidays citing his frequent illness.
Chapter 10: The Marauders' Map
- "This little beauty's taught us more than all the teachers in this school... Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs... We owe them so much."
- —Fred and George Weasley, about the Marauder's Map.
During the holidays, while the staying students visit Hogsmeade, Harry is yet again not able to go. To bring some Christmas cheer to Harry, Fred and George reveal they know, apart from Filch, secret passages in and out of Hogwarts. They give Harry the Marauder's Map as a Christmas present, and instruct him in using it. It shows Hogwarts' secret passages, corridors, classrooms, offices, common rooms, etc. and also shows every person's location within the castle and the grounds. Harry uses it to sneak into Hogsmeade. He then meets Ron and Hermione in Honeydukes where they were discussing what kind of candy to get Harry. Afterward they visit the Three Broomsticks, a pub run by Madam Rosmerta. When Cornelius Fudge, Minerva McGonagall, Filius Flitwick and Rubeus Hagrid arrive, Harry must hide underneath their table to avoid being seen and the trio overhear a conversation between them and Madam Rosmerta, in which they discuss how Sirius Black was the Potters' closest friend, to the point of making him Harry's Godfather. However Sirius betrayed the Potters to Voldemort, and how, when approached by another of the Potters' friends, Peter Pettigrew, he killed him and a street full of Muggles. After leaving the building, Harry vows that when he finds Black, he will kill him, avenging his parents and Pettigrew.
Chapter 11: The Firebolt
- "Dumbledore, Hagrid, Mr. Weasley, Cornelius Fudge... why hadn't anyone ever mentioned the fact that Harry's parents had died because their best friend had betrayed them?"
- —Harry mulling over what he heard about Black.
On the Holidays, Harry, Ron and Hermione go to visit Hagrid, find him distraught about Buckbeak 's hearing before the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creature. For Christmas, Harry receives a new broomstick, the Firebolt; the best model ever released. Hermione sends it to McGonagall to test it for tampering, because she suspects Black might have sent it to him and it could be jinxed. This causes Harry to cease speaking with her even though he knows she had good intentions.
Chapter 12: The Patronus
- "Oh no... Much worse than that. You can exist without your soul, you know, as long as your brain and heart are still working. But you'll have no sense of self anymore, no memory, no ... anything. There's no chance at all of recovery. You'll just -- exist. As an empty shell. And your soul is gone forever ... lost. "
- —Remus Lupin, on the dementor's kiss.
Ron and Hermione start to row often after Crookshanks begins attacking Scabbers non-stop. Meanwhile, Harry starts his lessons with Lupin. Lupin tells Harry that the spell to drive off Dementors is called the Patronus Charm, instructs him in how to cast one, and lets him practise on a Boggart. Harry cannot produce one at first. This, however, is to be expected; the Patronus Charm is well beyond O.W.L. standard. After a number of lessons, he becomes quite good, but doesn't master it entirely, Lupin soon explains the concept of a Dementor's Kiss.
Chapter 13: Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw
- "She was shorter than Harry by about a head, and Harry couldn't help noticing, nervous as he was, that she was extremely pretty."
- —The begining of Harry's interest in Cho Chang.
As March arrives, a new Quidditch match approaches: Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw. A few days before the match, McGonagall gives Harry back the Firebolt allowing him to get some time to practice with it before the match begins. Harry and Ron go to make up with Hermione, but on the same day, Scabbers disappears, ruining any chance for Ron and Hermione's reconciliation. Just as Harry is about to catch the Snitch, Cho Chang, a fourth year Seeker for the Ravenclaw team, screams. Harry looks around and sees three Dementors in the stands. He reacts instantly, unknowingly sending a full-fledged Patronus at the dementors. Harry catches the Snitch, winning the match before Cho can. Lupin compliments Harry on his Patronus, and shows Harry that the "dementors" were really Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle, and the Slytherin team captain Marcus Flint dressed as dementors trying to sabotage Harry resulting in McGonagall taking fifty points away from Slytherin, and sentencing all four of them to detention as punishment. However, at night, Ron sees Black, slashing his curtains while sleeping, in the boys' dormitories. Everyone thinks it might be a nightmare, but the curtains were indeed ripped, and the replacement portrait, Sir Cadogan admits he let Sirius Black into the Tower as he had the password, which Neville Longbottom had written down and misplaced. Another search of the castle takes place, but Black evades discovery again. The Fat Lady resumes her duty guarding Gryffindor Tower.
My hat is off to your astute cmomand over this topic-bravo! My hat is off to your astute cmomand over this topic-bravo!
Chapter 15: The Quidditch Final
- Oliver Wood: "So you must catch it only if we're more than fifty points up... Only if we're more than fifty points up, Harry, or we win the match but lose the Cup. You've got that, Haven't you? You must catch the Snitch only if we're..."
- Harry Potter: "I KNOW, OLIVER!"
- — Wood constantly nagging Harry about the final Quidditch game.
In May, the Quidditch final approaches: Gryffindor vs. Slytherin, with Gryffindor needing to be more than fifty points ahead before Harry can catch the Golden Snitch to win not only the match, but also having enough points to overtake Slytherin in obtaining the Quidditch Cup. On the morning of the match, Harry catches another glimpse of the dog, with Crookshanks. In the match, Gryffindor take an early lead, and Slytherin resort to all manner of dirty tactics, which helps the Gryffindor team to have penalty shots allowing them to get further ahead. Eventually, Harry manages to win the match at the right moment, allowing Gyffindor to come in first in the overall points and earn the Quidditch cup.
Chapter 16: Professor Trelawney's Prediction
- —The beggining of Professor Trelawney prediction.
The students take their end of year exams in June. After Harry's Divination final, Trelawney genuinely predicts that Voldemort's servant will return to him that night, and Voldemort will once again rise to full power. Meanwhile, Buckbeak's appeal fails, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione go to Hagrid's cabin even though he asks them not to, to console him before Buckbeak is executed. Hermione finds Scabbers in a milk jug and returns him to Ron. After the trio depart, Dumbledore, Fudge, a representative of the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures, and the executioner, Walden Macnair, arrive. Buckbeak is then apparently executed.
Chapter 17: Cat, Rat and Dog
- Sirius Black: "Going to kill me, Harry?"
- Harry Potter: "You killed my parents."
- Sirius Black: "I don't deny it... But if you knew the whole story."
- — In the Shrieking Shack.
Shortly afterwards, Scabbers escapes from Ron's grasp. Harry, Ron and Hermione run after him, where they see the black dog and Crookshanks. After Ron catches Scabbers, the dog grabs him by the foot (breaking his leg in the process) and pulls him in a passage under the Whomping Willow. Harry, Hermione, and Crookshanks follow after them. The passage leads them to the Shrieking Shack, where they find Ron, Scabbers, and Sirius Black, who was the dog that dragged Ron to the Shrieking Shack. Harry manages to overpower and subdue Black, who admits that he was responsible for the death of his parents. Lupin then arrives, and is accused by Hermione of being Black's accomplice, and a werewolf, revealing that she found out following Snape's lesson on werewolves, as well as a number of other signs: he was always absent on nights of the full moon which is also his Boggart. Lupin admits that he is a werewolf, but denies the charge of helping Black. He explains that he found out where Harry, Ron and Hermione went through the Marauder's Map , being one of the four writers of it. He also adds that he saw a supposedly dead person on the map with the trio; Peter Pettigrew , in the form of Scabbers. Sirius Black reveals that he is Harry's godfather.
Chapter 18: Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs
- "But make it quick, Remus. I want to commit the murder I was imprisoned for..."
- —Sirius Black, about killing Pettigrew.
Harry, Ron and Hermione refuse to believe that Pettigrew is alive, pointing out that he was murdered by Black. Black denies this, and Lupin convinces him to tell Harry the truth of what happened. Lupin tells the story about his time at Hogwarts; he had been bitten as a child, and Dumbledore took precautions for his stay at Hogwarts, having the Shrieking Shack, and the passage leading to it built to provide Lupin with a safe place to transform. The Whomping Willow was planted on the entrance to the tunnel, to prevent anyone running into the transformed Lupin. Eventually, Lupin's friends, Sirius, Pettigrew and James Potter discovered Lupin's secret, and became Animagi to support him; Sirius became a dog, to keep Lupin under control with James, and Pettigrew became a rat, so he could disable the Willow. Lupin admits that he hasn't told Dumbledore about Sirius being an animagus, as it would have meant admitting that he had betrayed his trust, leading three students into becoming animagi. He also reveals the reason for Snape 's animosity towards him during the year; during their days at school, Sirius had played a near-fatal trick on Snape involving Lupin.
Chapter 19: The Servant of Lord Voldemort
- "I must admit, Peter, I have difficulty in understanding why an innocent man would want to spend twelve years as a rat."
- —Lupin, about Peter Pettigrew.
Snape arrives and tries to arrest Lupin and Black, but Harry, Ron, and Hermione, curious to hear the rest of the story, stun Snape. According to Lupin, Pettigrew was the Potters' Secret-Keeper, and he, not Black, revealed the whereabouts to Voldemort. He was a spy for Voldemort, and he is his servant. After the Potters' murder, Black confronted Pettigrew, who killed the twelve muggles and faked his own death by cutting his finger and turning into a rat and escaping, framing Black for the crimes. Black was innocent all along and means no harm to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. He broke out of Azkaban after seeing the Weasleys in Egypt in the Daily Prophet. He saw Scabbers and immediately recognised it was Pettigrew in his Animagus form (Pettigrew was missing a finger, Scabbers was missing a toe). He searched for Pettigrew to kill him and avenge the Potters. He and Lupin force Scabbers to turn into Pettigrew. Before Lupin and Black can kill Pettigrew, Harry stops them, saying that James would not want his two best friends to become killers. The group takes Pettigrew back to the grounds, where he will be handed to the Dementors.
Chapter 20: The Dementor's Kiss
- "Are you mad? Of course I want to leave the Dursleys! Have you got a house? When can I move in?"
- —Harry to Sirius.
Sirius and Harry talk about the former's friendship with his parents, before Sirius tells Harry that he can choose to live with him if he wishes. Harry quickly and happily agrees, knowing this would mean he would never have to the return to the Dursleys.
Unfortunately, the full moon rises, causing Lupin, who had not taken his Wolfsbane Potion, to turn into a werewolf and allowing Pettigrew to turn into a rat and escape. During Wormtail's escape he knocks out Ron. Harry and Hermione run after Lupin and Black (who is transformed into a dog). After seriously injuring Black, Lupin flees to the Forbidden Forest. However, a hundred Dementors arrive and suck the happiness from Harry, Hermione, and Black and attempt to perform a Kiss on Harry, Hermione and Black. Before they all faint, Harry sees a familiar figure across the lake, who conjures a powerful, stag shaped Patronus that drives all the Dementors away.
Chapter 21: Hermione's Secret
- "What we need... is more time... If all goes well, you will be able to save more than one innocent life tonight. But remember this, both of you: you must not be seen."
- —Dumbledore, instructing Harry and Hermione.
Harry, Hermione, and Ron are taken to the hospital wing, and Black is taken to West Tower, where he is sentenced to a Dementors Kiss. When Dumbledore arrives Harry and Hermione try to tell him what actually happened, but Dumbledore tells them that he cannot save Black, as the evidence against him is too great since Snape had lied about what happened earlier to Cornelius Fudge and that the Minister will not take the words of underage students seriously.
Dumbledore gives them instructions and bids them good luck. Hermione reveals she has a Time-Turner, a device that will take them back through time, which explains why throughout the year, there had been occasions of her taking multiple classes at the same time, and apparently disappearing into thin air. Harry and Hermione travel three hours into the past, watching themselves in the previous events. They manage to rescue Buckbeak before Macnair can execute him. While the "other Harry and Hermione" and Ron enter the Shrieking Shack, Harry and Hermione hide in the Forbidden Forest. During this time Harry tells Hermione about the man he saw across the lake and how he thinks it was his father who conjured the Patronus. After two hours, Harry goes to see himself, Hermione, and Black fainting from Dementors. He discovers that the silver stag he saw earlier across the lake was not cast by his dad, it was himself and conjures a powerful Patronus that drives all the Dementors away. When it returns to him, he pets it and realises that it was "Prongs", his father. He and Hermione fly on Buckbeak to West Tower , after Black has been sent there. They free him, and he flies on Buckbeak and escapes before the time restores itself to normal.
Chapter 22: Owl Post Again
- Vernon Dursley: "You haven't got a godfather!"
- Harry Potter: "Yes, I have. He was my mum and dad's best friend. He's a convicted murderer, but he's broken out of wizard prison and he's on the run. He likes to keep in touch with me, though...keep up with my news...check I'm happy..."
- — Harry telling Uncle Vernon about Sirius.
Lupin resigns, after everyone discovers that he is a werewolf. Harry feels bad for not letting Lupin and Black kill Pettigrew, realising that he was the servant of Voldemort that would aid his return that Trelawney mentioned. Dumbledore reminds Harry that he saved Black, an innocent man, from a terrible fate and that Pettigrew owes a life debt to Harry for saving him, which Dumbledore is sure will prove useful later on. Before departing, Lupin gives Harry back the Marauder's Map. Gryffindor wins the House Cup and the Quidditch Cup. Fudge agrees to remove the Dementors from Hogwarts due to the Dementors' attempt to perform the Dementor's Kiss on Harry the previous night. The students return to London aboard the Hogwarts Express. An owl from Black arrives on the train. On the letter , Black admits he bought Harry the Firebolt, and gives Ron the owl (later named Pigwidgeon by Ginny), as it's Black's fault Ron no longer has a rat. He also provides Harry with permission to visit Hogsmeade. After arriving at King's Cross, Harry heads back to Little Whinging with the Dursleys, and Ron says he will contact Harry about whether they are going to go to the final of the Quidditch World Cup. Harry is also happy he now has a true family member to depend on.
Behind the scenes
- Along with Half-Blood Prince, this is one of the books in the series in which the US and UK cover artwork depict the same scene and the same characters. In addition, all cover artwork for any edition in any country depicts this scene, with the exception of the Adult version, the Signature Bloomsbury version and the German version.
- The Prisoner of Azkaban is the only book to not have a chapter with the same name as the title of the book, apart from the Philosopher's Stone.
- Although somewhat darker than the previous two books, this one holds the distinction of being the only Harry Potter book where no one actually dies during the events of the book (with the possible exception of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, where the Basilisk, a magical creature of indeterminate sentience, was the only being to die).
- This is the only book where Voldemort is not seen, only mentioned, whether in past or present.
- This is the first of two books in which the title refers to a character, the other being the sixth book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
- This is the only book in the series whose name has a word completely original to the series, this word being "Azkaban".
- One of the biggest morals from the series is that it is not one's abilities that make them who they are; it is their choices. However, the climax of this book possibly creates a predestination paradox, which, essentially, negates the doctrine of free will.
- This is the only book where the main antagonist is not directly or indirectly (in the case of book 5) influenced by Voldemort or is Voldemort himself.
- There is some confusion about when Sirius Black escaped, and when Fudge went to meet him. Mr. Weasley is heard telling Mrs. Weasley that Fudge went on an Azkaban Inspection "on the day he (Sirius) escaped," and that the Dementors told him (Fudge) that Sirius had been saying "He's at Hogwarts," for some time now. But, later in the book, during his visit at the Three Broomsticks, he says that he gave Sirius his copy of the Daily Prophet on his 'latest visit' before Sirius's escape, and near the end of the book, Sirius says he realised that Pettigrew was at Hogwarts by seeing his picture in the Daily Prophet that Fudge gave to him.
- Possible Explanation: This isn't actually an error. Fudge is talking about two separate visits. The "latest visit BEFORE Sirius escape" and the "Azkaban inspection on THE DAY he escaped." As we find out in later books that Sirius escape which considered such a high breach of sercurity that Fudge even had to inform the muggle priminister it is highly likely that as soon as he heard news of Sirius escape he rushed to the visit prison to carry out an "inspection." An inspection under these dire circumstances wouldn't be considered a friendly visit.
- In early British editions of the book, as Harry does his summer assignment in the first chapter, "Owl Post", he uses the textbook A History of Magic by Adalbert Waffling. But the real author of the book is Bathilda Bagshot, as mentioned in other books and a point emphasised in Deathly Hallows. Or perhaps, Bathilda Bagshot improved or changed the book; she could also have written a later edition of the book. The American edition and later editions of the English version correct this error.
- When Harry, Ron, and Hermione board the Hogwarts Express, it is noted that they sit in the only available compartment at the end of the train. As the train continues however, it is said that students constantly pass by the compartment and back. This would be impossible as you can't go past the last compartment.
- Possible explanation: It was the last available compartment to sit in. There still could have been another compartment after used as a washroom or storage.
- Before Harry and Hermione go back in time, it mentions that Buckbeak is tied to a tree. But when they go back in time, Buckbeak is tied to a fence.
- When Harry is buying his books at Flourish and Blotts, it mentions that he is being served by the manager. But when Harry was staring at the book 'Death Omens,' it says that he is being served by the assistant of the store.
- The length of time Sirius has known Pettigrew is hiding at Hogwarts is inconsistent. From Mr. Weasley's conversation at the Leaky Cauldron in chapter four, Sirius has known about it for several months. But in the Shrieking Shack in chapter eighteen, Sirius says that he first learned about it the night he escaped from Azkaban. However, it is possible that Sirius may have been referring to someone else, perhaps Harry or Voldemort. Sirius would know that Harry is at Hogwarts by the time that he is reported to start talking in his sleep and he might have heard about the Chamber of Secrets incident when Hagrid was imprisoned here.
- When they first come out of the Shrieking Shack, the order is Crookshanks, Lupin, Pettigrew, Ron, Snape, Harry, Hermione, and Sirius. However, when they go back in time, the order is now Lupin, Pettigrew, Ron, Hermione, Snape, Harry, and Sirius. (This is corrected in later editions of the book.)
- In June, Fred and George Weasley find out they have scraped "a few O.W.L.s apiece". However, in subsequent books, it is firmly established that O.W.L. results are sent home by owl and are not received until August. A possible explanation for this would be that when Harry and company receive their results, the Ministry of Magic is at war with Voldemort which could have made test grades a lower priority.
- It says "Ron crawled to the four-poster and collapsed onto it". But when Professor Lupin comes in, it says "his eyes flickered over Ron, lying on the floor". This could not be, as Ron should still be on the bed. Crookshanks was on the bed, and 'on the floor beside him.... was Ron' Ron moves from this position to 'protect' Harry. 'If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us too' at this point he is standing, 'clinging painfully to Harry to stay upright'.
- Mr. Weasley says that Ron and Harry have ended up in the Forbidden Forest twice. But only Harry has been in the forest twice. Ron went once to see Aragog with Harry in Chamber of Secrets, but the other time Harry went was for detention in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and Ron wasn't there (he was in the movie, but not the book). This error was corrected in later editions.
- When Harry and Hermione leave from the hospital wing using the Time-Turner, Dumbledore says it is ten minutes until midnight, but on the way back to the ward after they rescue Sirius, they hear Dumbledore say to the other versions of them that it is five minutes to midnight. (This could mean that they took five minutes extra to return to the hospital wing)
- In chapter fifteen, during the Quidditch match, three quarters of the crowd supported Gryffindor but it's also written that the other 200 fans supported Slytherin. This is impossible as there are not 200 Slytherin students or 800 students total at Hogwarts.
- Possible explanation: Actually in a 2000 interview Rowling said there were about 1000 students at Hogwarts. This explanation creates different errors, however, because if there's 40 students per year then the school should have only about 280 students total.
- Possible explanation: Harry's year may have just had a small number of students. There could be more students coming in during different years.
- Chapter sixteen (Professor Trelawney's Prediction) takes place in June 1994. In the beginning of that chapter, Harry Potter reads a note from Hagrid and says, 'Buckbeak's appeal — it's set for the sixth.' The night after the Hippogriff's appeal, Remus Lupin is forced into a werewolf form by the full moon, which means that this happened on the night of June 6th, 1994. The web page HP-Lexicon.org also backs this up. However, a brief look at lunar phase calendar sites such as 1994 and lunar phases in 1994 definitely shows June 9th, 1994, as a new-moon night, which means that a full moon could not possibly rise three days earlier. (It is possible that like dates and days not matching up in the Harry Potter series to the real world, JK Rowling slightly adjusted the moon's phases to fit the story.)
- On the American version of the cover, the front art is the night that Harry and Hermione save Sirius and Buckbeak. However on the back side of the cover, the moon is crescent when it should be a full moon.
- When Lupin looks at the Marauder's Map and sees Harry, Hermione, and Ron going to Hagrid's hut for Buckbeak's appeal, the Harry and Hermione from the future are not far behind them. Doesn't this mean that Lupin would have seen two sets of Harry and Hermione on the map? Also Snape saw the map and would have seen the same thing. (Professor Lupin claims the map never lies.) It could also be the case, however, that at the time of writing the map, the Marauders were unaware of the possibility of Time-Travel. Given that:
- Professor McGonagall went to a lot of trouble to acquire a Time-Turner just so that Hermione could study several subjects at once;
- Hermione's explanation of the disastrous consequences of ill-advised time-traveling;
- The fact that Time is studied in the Department of Mysteries and is therefore a top-secret subject known only to very few people.
- The cover depicts Harry and Hermione riding Buckbeak. Harry's legs are shown to be in front of Buckbeak's wings. However, when Harry was in Care of Magical Creatures and rode Buckbeak for the first time, Hagrid had told him to sit behind the wing joint (as he did in the movie).
- Sirius Black says that Voldemort has been in hiding for fifteen years. He's actually been in hiding for twelve years (almost thirteen at the time that he says it), about the same amount of time since Black was imprisoned. Voldemort went into hiding right after he was ripped from his body after failing to kill Harry. Of course, Black could just be rounding off to an approximated number (fifteen years), but this seems unlikely since he keeps talking about being in Azkaban for twelve years, being that the two time frames are almost exactly the same. Sirius also says to Pettigrew 'you haven't been hiding from me for 12 years, you've been hiding from Voldemort's old supporters'
- During chapter fifteen (pg. 308) it says, "A minute later, Katie had put another penalty past the Slytherin Seeker". When the correct word should have been "Keeper" not "Seeker".
- In Chapter 13, Ravenclaw versus Gryffindor, it is commented that all of the Ravenclaw team is on Cleansweep 7 brooms, but later, Lee Jordan comments that Cho Chang, the Ravenclaw seeker is on a Comet 260 broom. However, it is possible that the rest of the team are on Cleansweeps.
- ""He's friends with that dog," said Harry grimly"
- —chapter 17[src]
- There is possible foreshadowing at the Christmas lunch in chapter 11:
- Page 228 - "I dare not, Headmaster! If I join the table, we shall be thirteen! Nothing could be more unlucky! Never forget that when thirteen dine together, the first to rise will be the first to die!"
- Page 229 - "I doubt," said Dumbledore, in a cheerful but slightly raised voice, which put an end to Professor McGonagall and Professor Trelawney's conversation, "that Professor Lupin is in any immediate danger."
- Harry and Ron are the first at the table to stand up, doing so at the same time, and neither actually dies. Before that, however, Dumbledore "raised" his voice, and his is the first death mentioned of those in attendance.
- A similar bit of foreshadowing involves Sirius, whose animal form is several times mistaken for the grim, a creature connected with death, and Sirius is first to die.
- Another bit of foreshadowing takes place in the chapter "Aunt Marge's Big Mistake". When Uncle Vernon watches the news report about Sirius Black, he gets mad that the reporter didn't say where he escape from and comments, "Lunatic could be coming up the street right now!" He does not know that in a week, this will be true.
Film adaptation
The book was also adapted into a film, the third Harry Potter film of the series. The movie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was released on May 31, 2004 (UK) and on June 4, 2004 (US). It was directed by Alfonso Cuarón and the trio was starred by Daniel Radcliffe , Rupert Grint and Emma Watson.

As we all know it is very true we can't survive healthy for a long time alone...it was not possible its a nice information in that. For more help take doctor reviews thanks.
I hate my boss & my job is all I can do so I can't leave it Everytime I'm here I wish she were gone from me I am so depressed the tears stream down my face. Sometimes I hope she dies so I don't have to ever see her. She is an unyielding ass who has no idea what she is doing wiht the clients here. There is no happiness among the staff when she is here we are silently suffering How do I cope with this hatred?
Thanks Dr. Creagan. Yes, we do have to reach out for help when we need it. We may feel embarrassed, ashamed, etc. but we are not perfect.
It seems like at this point in history with everyone so busy, it gets down to the professionals for support and guidance. But there's nothing like the love and support of your team of professionals, family, friends, support groups of like diseases, problems, situations. I'm so grateful for all who came out of the forest to support me when I needed it.
Individuals one would never expect appearing for in front of me.

Highway 12 in Dare County has reopened to all traffic as of 9:00 a.m. Thursday. The Sheriff's Department says there is still some water on the highway in places.
Previous Story
Today's storm has closed off southern Dare County once again to passenger vehicles.
High winds and flooding this afternoon closed Highway 12 in both directions from Rodanthe to the southern end of the county. The Department of Transportation says they do not expect the highway to reopen until late Thursday morning.
The Dare County Sheriff's Office has set up a checkpoint in the parking lot of the Pea Island National Wildlife Center to allow high-clearance, 4-wheel-drive vehicles to pass.
The D.O.T. says the road could become completely impassable at high tide.
More than a foot of water was on the highway in many parts, while some parked cars are submerged nearly up to their windows by the flooding.
The D.O.T. is urging all drivers in Dare County to use extreme caution.

Your Resting Heart Rate: What Is Normal and Healthy?
There's quite a bit of emphasis placed on cardiac health and the dangers of a poor heart condition. A rather simple way to discern the healthiness of your heart is by analyzing your resting heart rate, or your RHR. A little bit of knowledge now could be a difference maker in the future!
Heart rate refers to the speed at which your heart is beating, or in other words, the number of heartbeats expressed as beats per minute (bpm). Your heart rate varies depending on your body's physical needs at any given moment, and in response to other factors in your life.
Factors that can influence heart rate include:
- Activity level (sleeping, resting, exercise)
- Fitness level
- Air temperature
- Body position (standing up or lying down)
- Emotions and stress levels
- Body size
- Medications
- Food and drink
- Illness
Your resting heart rate (RHR) is a simple, easy-to-measure indicator of your cardiovascular health. A healthy heart that is in good shape doesn't have to beat as often to pump blood to the body. A healthy heart is strong and more efficient, pumping more blood at a higher rate while efficiently circulating oxygen throughout your body. Be aware, however, that a RHR that is too low and is not a result of achieving a high level of fitness can mean that the heart's natural pacemaker is not working correctly.
Calculating Your Resting Heart Rate
Measurement of your RHR is simple and can be accomplished by everyone. To calculate your RHR, find a seat in a comfortable environment and allow yourself to relax. Stay seated and as motionless as possible for 5-10 minutes, allowing your body to rest. Once sufficient time has passed, locate your radial artery, or the pulse on the underside of your wrist by gently applying pressure with your index and middle fingers. Using a watch with a second hand or a digital stop watch, count how many beats you feel for ten seconds. Repeat this calculation two or three times and find your average number. Multiply this number by six to achieve your RHR. For example, if you count 12 beats in ten seconds, your RHR would be 72 BPM (12 x 6 = 72).
Be sure to regularly check your heart rate as your heart rate does fluctuate based on the factors previously mentioned. Routinely checking your RHR and record your results to see your true RHR over time, ensuring you are maintaining a healthy RHR.
The chart below shows the normal range for a RHR according to age or physical condition. Remember, many things can cause changes in your normal heart rate including your age, activity level, and the time of day.
How the LifeSpan Club Can Help
The LifeSpan Club lets you track and monitor your exercise/physical activity and all your health metrics such as blood pressure, weight, and RHR. Activity such as minutes exercised, calories burned, and steps taken can be uploaded to your account with an interactive LifeSpan product via a USB, Bluetooth-enabled equipment or through manual entry.
Logging your RHR into the LifeSpan Club will allow you to see changes in your heart rate as you improve your fitness level and log your exercise. Appropriate physical activity can improve your cardiac condition, making your heart stronger and more efficient both during exercise and at rest.

On night 27, the Tikiano tribe returns from Tribal Council where Leif was just voted out. With eight people left and only two of them being men, Tarzan is feeling very vulnerable. If Tarzan aligns with Troyzan, then the women will vote him out unless he wins immunity. So, Tarzan concludes, "The smartest thing to do is to go with what the girls want me to do.†Alicia checks in with Kim to see how she is feeling after Tribal Council. Kim admits to feeling rattled by Troyzan who tried to get her voted out tonight, but she is happy that the women stuck together and voted Leif out instead. She reveals, "I kind of feel like tonight sealed the deal a little bit with the women's alliance.†Kim feels like all the women are now committed to their alliance. She vows to stay calm and hopes that they can get rid of Troyzan next. Troyzan knows that he is really on his own now. He admits, "Right now, I need to win every single immunity, one man versus all the women. Bring it on!â€
The next day Troyzan and Alicia bring tree mail back to camp. Alicia reads it to the tribe, "It's not physical exertion earning reward today. Your powers of perception will help you get away.†The Tikiano tribe is excited about this reward challenge. Kat reveals, "I'm hoping whoever wins gets to go with another person on a reward and I think it's just time for me to be able to go on something.†Kat asks Kim to take her on the reward if she wins. Kim agrees as long as Troyzan, Alicia and Christina are not left in camp alone.
The Tikiano tribe arrives at the challenge and takes their places on the mat. Jeff Probst, the host, tells them the rules of the challenge. They will each answer a series of questions about their tribe mates. He will then tally the results. For the challenge, their job is to try and guess what the group said as a whole to each question, which may differ from what they said individually. Each time they get one right; they get to chop another tribe member's rope. After three chops, their very life-like SURVIVOR doll will fall into the fire and that person has then lost their chance to go on reward. Last person left standing wins the reward of a helicopter ride to an island picnic.
After the castaways have answered the questions and Jeff has tallied the results, the challenge begins. Jeff asks them to give the consensus answer to the first question which is: Who does not deserve to still be here? The correct consensus answer is Christina. Kim, Chelsea and Troyzan chose the correct answer. Troyzan chops one of Kat's ropes. Kim chops one of Troyzan's ropes. Chelsea chops one of Tarzan's ropes. The second question is: Who would you trust with your life? The correct answer is Kim. Christina, Chelsea, and Alicia got it right. Christina chops Chelsea. Chelsea and Alicia both chop Troyzan, which puts his doll in the fire and kicks him out of the challenge. The third question is: Who most needs a wakeup call in life? The correct answer is Kat. Everybody but Kat got it right. Tarzan chops Chelsea. Sabrina and Kim chop Tarzan, which puts him out of the challenge. Christina chops Sabrina. Chelsea chops Christina. Alicia finishes the round by chopping Chelsea's last rope, which eliminates her from the challenge. The fourth question is: Who is the biggest poser? Everyone answers Troyzan except Alicia. Troyzan is the correct answer. Kim gives Sabrina her second chop. Christina gives Kim her first chop. Both Kat and Sabrina chop Alicia's rope. The fifth question is: Who does the least for their tribe? The correct answer is Sabrina. Kim, Alicia and Christina answered this question correctly. Christina and Alicia both chop Kat, which takes her out of the challenge. Kim gives Sabrina her last chop and knocks her out of the challenge. At this point, only Alicia, Christina and Kim are left in the game. The sixth question is: Who would you most like to be stranded with on an island? The correct answer is Kim. Kim and Alicia both got it right. Both Alicia and Kim chop Christina, which puts her out of the challenge. The seventh question is: Who do you hope to never see again after the game. The correct answer is Troyzan. Both Kim and Alicia answered correctly. Since Kim has two chops left on her rope and Alicia only has one, Kim wins the reward challenge. Kim chooses Alicia and then Chelsea to go with her on the reward. Kim apologizes to Kat for not choosing her and reminds her that Chelsea hasn't eaten. Troyzan takes this opportunity to stir things up by saying, "Kim, Chelsea and Alicia are the top dogs.†Troyzan wants the women left behind to feel like they are on the bottom of the alliance. Kim, Chelsea and Alicia head over to the helicopter to start their reward.
Kim, Chelsea and Alicia are thrilled to start their reward with a helicopter ride, which allows them to get away from camp and see the surrounding sights. As they arrive on the remote island and prepare to eat their picnic lunch, Kim reveals, "The reward is awesome, but I can't decide if I'm enjoying it or not.†Kim is worried about how the rest of her tribe is feeling back at camp. She knows that people's feeling could be hurt by what happened at the challenge and by whom she picked to go on the reward. Kim is also nervous about Troyzan trying to turn people against her back at camp. So, she plans on doing damage control when she returns to camp.
Back at the Tikiano camp, Kat, Troyzan, Sabrina, Christina and Tarzan are discussing the challenge and whom Kim picked to go with her on the reward. Kat is very upset that Kim chose Chelsea to go instead of her for the reward. She claims to be just as hungry and deserving as Chelsea. Troyzan comments, "Kat this isn't about food today. This is strategy.†Troyzan is taking advantage of this opportunity to talk to Kat, Sabrina, Christina and Tarzan and hopefully put doubt and fear in their minds. Troyzan tells Kat, "You think you're in the know, when you're actually not.†Kat doesn't want to believe what Troyzan is saying, so she gets angry and walks away from the group. Kat starts crying and says, "I'm pissed because I have to listen to Troyzan about like that I'm a follower and that I don't make any decisions for myself and that Kim is the lead player. I don't believe that.†Sabrina comes over to Kat to comfort her and explain to her that the two of them were left behind, because Kim knew that she could trust them. Kat reveals, "My fear is that I don't want to go down as a weak player.†Next, Sabrina sits down with Troyzan to try and find out more about his current plan for the game. Troyzan makes the case that Kim is just as strong a player as himself and that she is aligned with Chelsea. He tells Sabrina and Christina that if they want to take out Kim, he will vote with them. Christina sees this as a valid option. Sabrina has no intention of working with Troyzan, but she is bothered that Christina was so easily interested in his plan. Sabrina comments, "She sways like the wind. I don't trust her at all.â€
Kim, Chelsea and Alicia return to camp from the reward and get a chilly reception from Kat. Kim invites Kat to sit next to her and Kat refuses. Kat admits, "I was devastated and I didn't have anything to say to her.†After a while, Kim can't stand the silent treatment any longer and invites Kat to take a walk with her. Kat finally agrees and they walk out of camp. Kat explains to Kim that she is upset not about missing out on the food, but because she is being perceived as a follower and not an integral part of the game, since she was not chosen to go on the reward. Kim asks Kat not to be mad and points out that it has not been an easy day for her either. She explains that it is really difficult to have to choose who goes and who stays. Kim feels today was her worst day in the game so far. She tries to explain to Kat that this is a million dollar game and it is not just about one reward. Kim reveals, "I think my choice to not choose Kat today was the first decision that I have made that was not strategic. I think I'm paying for it now.â€
The next day it is raining hard. The Tikiano tribe is huddled in the shelter trying to stay dry. All of a sudden Troyzan notices that a pig has wandered into camp and alerts the tribe. The women are excited to have some bacon and ham, so they run after the pig. Kim grabs a rope and Christina grabs the axe. No one is quite sure how to catch a pig, so Troyzan takes the rope and tries to lasso the pig. After hearing the women screaming, the pig starts to run faster and makes it difficult for Troyzan to catch him. Kim admits, "I have no experience with catching pigs, but the pig coming into camp is awesome for me right now. It breaks the tension and I can already feels like walls coming down.†Nobody seems to be able to catch the pig, but they have a good time trying.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE: SLIP SLIDIN' AWAY
The Tikiano tribe arrives on their mat. Jeff Probst takes back the individual immunity necklace from Troyzan, who kisses it before handing it over. Jeff then explains the rules of this individual immunity challenge. The castaways will be randomly paired up. Then they will slide down a slippery course grabbing rope rings along the way. Once they have their ring, they must land it on a hook. First person to finish moves onto the next round, while the other one drops out of the game. The last person left standing wins immunity and is guaranteed a one in seven shot at winning this game. One of the losers will be voted out at Tribal Council. Chelsea and Alicia compete in the first round. They each cover their bodies in coconut oil before sliding down the course. They are neck and neck as they slide down the course and start tossing the rope ring. After two attempts, Chelsea lands her rope ring on the peg and moves onto the second round. Alicia takes a seat on the bench. In the next round, Kat competes against Sabrina. Sabrina gets to her rope ring first and starts tossing it before Kat, but Kat is the first one to land her ring on the peg and therefore wins the round. In the third round, Troyzan goes against Tarzan. Troyzan gets to his rope ring first, but Tarzan proves to be the better aim. Tarzan wins the round and knocks Troyzan out of the competition. The women are delighted by Tarzan's victory and Troyzan's loss, but Troyzan is stunned. In the next round, Christina goes against Kim. Kim is the winner of this round. So, Chelsea, Kat, Tarzan and Kim go onto the second phase of the competition where they will have to gather and land two rope rings. The winner of this phase goes onto the final round. First up are Chelsea and Kat. Chelsea wins this match. Next, Kim and Tarzan compete. Kim easily wins the round. So Kim and Chelsea move onto the final round where they will have to gather and shoot three rope rings. Kim wins this final round and therefore wins individual immunity.
As Tikiano returns to camp after the challenge, Troyzan is disappointed at getting kicked out of the challenge so early. He reminds himself that he is still in the game though and that the tribe thinks he may have a hidden immunity idol. He reveals, "I'm sure they're going to split the vote. So never, never say die, not in SURVIVOR.†Kim talks to Sabrina and Kat and tells them to split the votes between Christina and Troyzan, in case he does have a hidden immunity idol. She chooses Christina, since she is used to receiving votes in the past and so will not get upset about receiving votes the way others might. Kat admits, "I getting tired that everyone's telling me what to do, because no one thinks that I'm the one running the show.†Kat is frustrated by this and wonders what she should do. Sabrina finds Christina and tells her they are splitting the vote, just in case Troyzan has an idol. She tells her not to be upset when she sees her name tonight at Tribal Council, because the plan is that Troyzan will get voted out and not her. Sabrina admits, "I don't want her to feel bad, because people do not forget how you make them feel.†Christina then joins Kim, Alicia, Chelsea and Kat in the water as they wash off the oil from the challenge. She tells them that Sabrina filled her in on the plan and that she is okay with it. Alicia is shocked that Christina is naive enough to be okay with getting votes tonight, since that means that she will go home if Troyzan has the hidden immunity idol. Alicia admits, "If she has to go, then she has to go. It ain't my name, so I don't care.†Christina checks in with Troyzan. She admits, "I don't trust the girls one-hundred percent. So, that's why I entertain the idea of Troyzan's proposal, because it makes sense.†Christina tells Troyzan that she would be willing to vote for Chelsea tonight.
She also spills the beans and tells Troyzan that the women are splitting the votes tonight between him and her. This is just the information that Troyzan needs. Troyzan comments, "I need three people to just vote for Christina, then boom I can be the fourth and it can be a miracle.†Kim reveals, "The plan tonight is to give Troy five votes and Christina two.†She knows that splitting votes is dangerous, especially if two or more people flip and don't vote for Troyzan. Troyzan makes the rounds and tries to get the support of Tarzan and Kat. Kim is worried about what Troyzan might do tonight to save himself. She hopes that he will not be coming back to camp with them after Tribal Council.
Troyzan admits that he is in trouble tonight, since it is the women and Tarzan against him. Sabrina reveals that there have been discussions among some of the people about the pecking order of the tribe. Christina knows these discussions have taken place but admits to not always being a part of them. Chelsea says people have been talking about who will be in the top three since day one. Christina reveals, "I am one lucky girl, that's why I'm here.†Alicia points out that Christina was voted as the person who does not deserve to be in the game at the last reward challenge. Christina admits that she was hurt by that, but doesn't think that people have taken the time to really get to know her. Alicia questions whether Christina has any strategy. Christina claims that she has been strategizing the whole time, but doesn't reveal her plans, since the game is all about deception. Troyzan comments, "Everyone knows that Christina is on the bottom, but they will never admit that.†He is amazed that the remaining six women all believe that they will be in the final three. Kim says that she was worried when she went on the reward with Alicia and Chelsea and left everyone else back at camp with Troyzan. She kno

Hmm maybe they only read the first clue.
lol that was my reaction xD Garchomp doesn't have a small white hor on his head or 2 blue orbs on his tail >.>

Well it is blue so it's not that bad but the orb thing is a good clue
Topic: Fav Dragon Type and why?
Not the best...
~ Credits to Savanny for Banner ~
Dragonite because it is the original and it was my very first Pokemon TCG card.
Favorite dragon trainer in pokemon for me it's Drake
So, it's favorite Dragon type user?
I know Cynthia isn't a Dragon Master or anything. But, she made me love Garchomp.
Same here, Dragon is one of my favs. Hydreigon is on the same line as her.
~ Credits to Savanny for Banner ~
Cynthia's an all time favorite for me. After I rewatched Johto a few months ago, I like Claire a lot more than I used to. And I loved her in HG/SS.
Well as far as trainer goes it has to be Lance.

Amazing isn't it? Garchomp is freaking awesome. Shame I don't use it that much.
Dragonite is still cool to me just because it is Lance is signature pokemon

Multi-Tasking Mommy,
Here's an answer to your questions,
Hello There!
Yes this dough will harden quickly and can be used to make sculptures/ playfood/ impressions to keep if you let it harden for a few days in the air or bake at a low temp for a very short period of time in the oven. WE have ours stored in an air tight container and plan to toss it when it starts to get yucky.
Have fun and happy playing!

The government came under fire yesterday, as Members of Parliament exposed gross violation of women's rights and various forms of violence against women and girls in the country's prisons.
Special Seats MPs — Mhonga Said Ruhwanya (Chadema) and Magdalena Sakaaya (CUF) — became furious in the House yesterday over government's failure to halt escalating humiliation and gross mistreatment to which women prisoners are subjected.
In separate supplementary questions the MPs expressed dismay over increased humiliation against women and girls, acts which they said were pioneered by women prison officers.
"It seems the government has failed to control this problem…women prisoners are mistreated, harassed and humiliated by women prison officers, but concerned authorities are quiet," said Ruhwanya.
"We have evidence to back our assertions. I want to know measures the government is taking against women prison officers who are harassing their fellow women in prisons," added the legislator.
The Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, Ambassador Khamis Kagasheki said the ministry had not received clear evidence on the said allegations, noting: "If the legislator has evidence on the kind of harassment women are subjected to in our prisons, she may submit them to me and I will work on it."
The minister said if the ministry secured substantive evidence on humiliation and related violence in prisons, appropriate measures against the culprits would be taken.
But outspoken legislator, Magdalena Sakaaya added salt to the wound when she said: "Women are harassed in prisons…and these actions are being done by women prison officers. Women prisoners are undressed and subjected to all sorts of humiliation and violence."
"I have sufficient evidence of such acts and I will be number One witness to prove it anywhere. I am ready to submit evidence, and stand as number One witness to provide proofs of humiliation against women going on in our prisons," said Sakaaya.
The deputy home affairs minister noted: "I can see some MPs are laughing…if there is one of us here who was once been undressed in prison, it is not something to laugh at…it's very serious. We should not joke."
He said that the government would it take seriously, and institute proper measures against pioneers of the acts, insisting that "we must get substantive evidence before taking actions."

- "Carl, you gotta stay nice and low on your approach or you'll pop up on the radar. Use the canyon as cover."
- — Mike Toreno.
N.O.E. is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by government agent Mike Toreno from the Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard in Bone County, San Andreas.
Carl arrives at the airstrip. While he is there waiting calling out for Toreno, he sneaks up behind him, effectively getting Carl in a choke hold. After Toreno lets Carl go and tells him to "wake up and smell the coffee", he explains that his agents are in trouble and they need a package delivered to them; if they don't get it by the nightfall, they will all be dead. Carl, after a little reluctance and confusion as to things, proceeds to the task.
Carl gets in a Rustler with the payload attached to the fuselage of the plane. Carl takes off, with Toreno reminding Carl stay under the radar so that he would not be spotted. He does so, and eventually arrives at Angel Pine, halfway across the state, to drop off the package. He releases the contraband, and makes his way back to Verdant Meadows, again while flying below the radar. Carl arrives at the airstrip, with Toreno congratulating him for a job well done.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- The plane is all loaded up and ready to go. Get in it
- Fly to Angel Pine with the package. Stay below the radar
- Fly into the corona to trigger the drop
- Return to the airfield and land
- Bring the plane to a stop anywhere on the landing strip
Post mission phone call
Carl Johnson: Hey.
Catalina: Tiny-balled idiota!
Carl Johnson: Catalina! Eh, I know it's you. What's eating you, baby?
Catalina: I don't love you no more!
Carl Johnson: Well hey, let's just... Hello?
The reward for completing the mission is $15,000. The mission Stowaway is unlocked.
- Although Toreno recommends following the canyons towards Angel Pine, this is a very difficult route for even expert fliers, since there is a high chance of either being located or colliding. An alternative is to fly north past the edge of land and fly over the water, following the coastline until Angel Pine is reached. Even though the route appears longer, it shouldn't take much more than 4 minutes to reach the turnaround point, leaving plenty of time to return to the airstrip by retracing the over-water route. However, one should avoid bumping into the high sails of boats and ships as well as staying low enough to avoid the radar but not sinking the plane to the water.
- Another alternative is to fly south to Santa Maria beach then go right and follow the coastline from there into Angel Pine. After takeoff, fly south past Fort Carson (avoid flying past Area 69 while passing the rock formations before reaching there), into Red County passing the FleischBerg Brewery in Blueberry Acres but be on the lookout for telephone poles as they can be slow to spawn and can cause the plane to explode or catch fire when hit (nonetheless there's clear space for low flying). After passing Red County you should pass into the Los Santos Inlet where Santa Maria Beach is located. Then keep flying to the right using the cliffsides as cover until you reach Angel Pine and fly the same way back.
- An easy way of dodging a missile is to do a back loop when a missile is close to you. When doing a back loop, the missile will follow you upwards, but will not have enough time to hit you and will miss. The drawback is that if you are relatively close to the ground, you might crash. Be careful doing this around hills and woods.
- If Carl gets spotted while flying over the radar, there will be at least one Hydra chasing him.
- If you shoot down an enemy Hydra in this mission with no stars wanted with a rocket launcher, you will get 2 wanted stars.
- N.O.E. stands for "Nap-of-the-earth", a type of very low-altitude flight course used by military aircraft to avoid enemy detection and attack in a high-threat environment. When CJ flies too high above the radar, Toreno will say, "Nap of the earth, Carl. Nap of the earth."
- The Hydras in this mission are somewhat smarter than the regular Hydras you encounter when reaching a four star wanted level. This can be proven by flying into the woods in Back o Beyond and Angel Pine since the Hydras will fly around the trees and try to avoid colliding with objects rather than flying in circles or straight paths like the regular ones, though this does not mean that they will not collide with objects such as mountains when flying in circles. They will also sometimes launch 2 missiles simultaneously to make the mission harder.
- The N.O.E tactics is flying too low and can't be used to avoid the military aircraft in free roam while in the plane or heilcopter and attained 4 wanted stars or more.

Stat: Every year, Cytomegalovirus (CMV) causes permanent physical and developmental disabilities for as many as 7,000 infants.
What is it exactly? One member of a group of herpes-type viruses. It is transmitted through body fluids, sexually and nonsexually, and from mother to infant during birth. CMV is also incredibly dangerous for people who are immunocompromised or people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
About how many people have it? About eighty percent of healthy adults (or 8 in ten people) have antibodies (which show a previous or current infection) to CMV in their bloodstreams.
How is it spread? By any body fluids through general nonsexual contact, vaginal, anal, or oral intercourse, blood transfusions or sharing IV drug equipment, bone marrow transplants, organ transplants or from mother to infant during pregnancy, birth or via breastfeeding.
What are its symptoms? The initial infection is usually asymptomatic, which means it produces no noticeable symptoms.
Reinfection may cause symptoms similar to mononucleosis, such as swollen glands, headaches, loss of appetite, fatigue, fever, night sweats, general weakness, a persistent cough or difficulty breathing, pneumonia and an increased transmission rate of other STIs and diseases.
How is it diagnosed? By a blood test, urine test or a chest x-ray.
Is it treatable? Symptoms may be managed with antiviral medications, but treatment is not generally successful during a pregnancy.
Is it curable? Like many viruses, CMV can remain in the body for life, and there is presently no cure.
Can it affect fertility? It cannot affect fertility, but childbirth may be problematic and CMV is very commonly transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy or childbirth.
Can it cause death? When pneumonia becomes present with CMV, decreased oxygen in the blood can be fatal. It can also contribute to secondary infections or diseases as well as kidney failure, all of which can cause death. In people with compromised immune systems it may affect the liver, esophagus, and large intestine, and all of these conditions can be fatal.
How can we protect against it? Condoms provide protection against CMV during vaginal, anal, and oral intercourse, but it can also be spread by kissing or by nonsexual contact. Getting an annual screening for STIs including CMV can also help to prevent transmission.

PORTLAND -- There's a new diet book that claims you can lose weight by simply changing the timing of your meals.
It says to go from thinking, you are what you eat to you are when you eat.
The book called The 8 Hour Diet says you can eat almost anything you want within an 8-hour time span and some cheating is allowed. I'm somebody who eats a lot of small meals, said Lake Oswego resident Claire McGuire, 53.
I'm a believer in eating when I feel hungry, added Portland resident, Denise Dubois, 59.
It's been over a year and one month, and I have walked 7 miles a day, everyday and that's all I do, said Portland Resident, Gloria Warner, 69.
Many people think about their diets for a huge portion of their days. What we're eating can consume our minds. So, what if you could eat anything you wanted?
The new book claims that people can effectively shed pounds by watching the clock. It works like this: You eat for eight hours a day and then fast for 16. For instance, you could eat from noon to 8 p.m., but then not again until noon the next day.
I think over time, I've just figured out what works for me and what doesn't, said McGuire.
So could this idea work for you? The book's best-selling author said most people eat all day long and also stay up too late. This throws off the body's natural clock and makes people both unhealthy and overweight. He said the key is to confine our eating to eight hours daily in order to go back to the way that our bodies should be operating.
On this diet, many foods are suggested, but no foods are forbidden. You can eat whatever you want, as long as it's within that 8-hour time span.
Nutritionist Valerie Edwards, a Providence outpatient nutrition and eating disorder therapist, said she does not agree with the premise of the new diet book.
It's not a sustainable way to eat, said Edwards. The most important thing to look at when you're considering a diet change is to ask yourself, 'Is this going to help me to develop healthy eating habits that I can sustain over time?' Immediately I think that this diet does not fall into this category.
Edwards added that even though this diet could promote some short-term weight loss, It can lead to having to think about food all the time and also can lead to mood swings because your blood sugar can be going up and down.
And if that's not convincing enough, No diets. Diets are silly because they're just short term. [They say] 'Eat now, don't eat now,' said Warner, throwing her hands up in frustration.
It has to come from within, said Dubois, You can do all the reading you want, but if you're not willing to put the time in and the effort and by the way, there are some days believe me that I don't want to do this [she points to the track where she'd been running], but if you're not willing to do it, you can read all the books in the world, and it's not going to do you any good.
Still, the book's author and editor said the 8 Hour Diet works because it gives the body more time to burn the calories that are consumed.

prev | next
(a) General Violations.— In connection with an investigation under section 41301 or 41302 of this title, the Federal Maritime Commission may bring a civil action to enjoin conduct in violation of this part. The action must be brought in the district court of the United States for any judicial district in which the defendant resides or transacts business. After notice to the defendant, and a showing that the standards for granting injunctive relief by courts of equity are met, the court may grant a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction for a period not to exceed 10 days after the Commission has issued an order disposing of the issues under investigation.
(b) Reduction in Competition.—
(1) Action by commission.— If, at any time after the filing or effective date of an agreement under chapter 403 of this title, the Commission determines that the agreement is likely, by a reduction in competition, to produce an unreasonable reduction in transportation service or an unreasonable increase in transportation cost, the Commission, after notice to the person filing the agreement, may bring a civil action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia to enjoin the operation of the agreement. The Commission's sole remedy with respect to an agreement likely to have such an effect is an action under this subsection.
(2) Remedies by court.— In an action under this subsection, the court may issue—
(c) Failure To Provide Information.— If a person filing an agreement, or an officer, director, partner, agent, or employee of the person, fails substantially to comply with a request for the submission of additional information or documents within the period provided in section 40304 (c) of this title, the Commission may bring a civil action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.

What is a Patina: It is the finish applied that brings out the details of each piece, while at the same time giving it a warm, naturally aged appearance. Since colors are artistically applied by hand, no two pieces are exactly alike.
• The Aged Stone Patina on a natural stone base replicates soft brown earth tones.
• Our Designer White Patina consists of a hand applied charcoal tone on a fresh white base.
• Our original natural stone has a very light wash applied to a natural stone base, offering less contrast.
