We start to more fully explore the legacy of James and Lily Potters’ murders, not simply as a tragedy for Harry, but as a tragedy for these people who had complex lives of their own. We meet the dementors and learn about Azkaban for the first time. It plays with the concept of time - both in the form of Hermione’s Time-Turner and in an exploration of the previous generation’s influence on today’s youth - in complex ways, hinting at how important understanding the past would become in defeating Voldemort once and for all. In Prisoner of Azkaban,Rowling begins to expand this world by giving us the story of the Marauders, Peter Pettigrew’s betrayal, and Sirius Black’s tragic life story as a result of that betrayal.
