I re-read Prisoner of Azkaban last night and I'm so sad! The end was so happy (well, not really as Sirius wasn't free) with Harry knowing he had a godfather who loved him, and that permission slip for hogsmeade, and ron's new owl! And Sirius is deeeaaad
Even as I was reading it, i was hoping the book would change before my very eyes and I'd turn the page to find that Pettigrew hadn't escaped after all, and Sirius's name had been cleared. Everything would be sooo different. PoA is by far my favourite book and now it makes me feel so sad to read it, knowing that Sirius will die with everyone believing him to be evil and a traitor and a mass murderer. It's so awful! His best friend was killed by someone he thought was his friend, then he had to spend 12 years in Azkaban, and lived the rest of his life hidden away from the world, before dying without having his name cleared. It's so terrible because he was sooo great and almost his whole life outside Hogwarts was in captivity!
I just hope that before the end of the series, Pettigrew will be exposed as the traitor who killed Lily & James, and murdered those innocent muggles, and people will finally realise that Sirius Black would never have betrayed his best friend in the whole world.
(also, why can't I see my signature? I have one, and the box saying 'display signature' is ticked, so where is it?!!)
