Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3)

**Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban – First Edition, Third Printing (Signed)** *J.K. Rowling | Bloomsbury* A highly collectible **first edition, third printing** of *Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban*, the pivotal third instalment in J.K. Rowling’s celebrated series, marking a notable shift toward the darker, more complex themes that define the later books. This example is **signed by the author on an official Bloomsbury bookplate in black ink**, a widely recognised and desirable format of authenticated signature from the period. Presented in **octavo (8vo)** format, the book is accompanied by its **original unclipped dust jacket**, both of which retain **bold, vibrant colour and strong visual appeal**. The boards are clean and well-preserved, contributing to an overall attractive presentation. Condition is very good to near fine, with **very pale spotting** visible to the title page, the first few leaves, and the **verso of the dust jacket**—subtle and not detracting from display. There is also **light bumping to the spine edges**, consistent with careful handling. **Key Features:** * **First edition, third printing** (Bloomsbury) * **Signed on official Bloomsbury bookplate** in black ink * **Original unclipped dust jacket** * Strong, **vibrant boards and jacket** * Minor **spotting to preliminaries and jacket verso** * **Light bumping** to spine edges An excellent example of a **signed early printing**, offering both collectability and presentation—an appealing addition to any Harry Potter collection. *A well-balanced copy combining signature, condition, and early issue status.* At **The Wizards Dungeon**, we specialise in rare and collectible books, with a particular passion for **Harry Potter first editions, signed copies, uncorrected proofs, and original memorabilia**.
