Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban and Warriors: The Sun Trail have rather a unique sense of fantasy, both revolving around a world outside the one we know. One is about a secret wizarding world and the other is about a clan of cats. They both incorporate fantasy talk about the trails of discovering a new environment. In Harry Potter, the wizarding world is brought to life, but in Warriors, a untold story finally gets told. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is about Harry going to hogwarts for a third year, later discovering his godfather is the prisoner that escaped from the infamous Azkaban, a prison for the worst wizards. Sirius Black, his godfather, comes to Hogwarts and Harry learns Sirius is accused for a crime he didn’t commit. Harry must clear his Godfather’s name. Warriors is similar, in the way that Gray Wing, the main character, suffers a lot of loss throughout the book, much like Harry. Gray Wing and the group have lived in the mountains for years. Winter strikes and food becomes scarce. Gray Wing along with half the group travels to find a better place. They encounter creatures called Two Legs and deal with the monsters on the Thunderroad.

captivating in their own ways, J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban helped show us the family issues and mysteries going on at Hogwarts. Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban does well in keeping the readers wanting more by providing mystery and deception often throughout. The author was very descriptive, for example, when Snape finds out Sirius is hiding with Harry, he gets very angry tries disarming Harry, “‘Expelliarmus!’ he yelled -- except that his wasn’t the only voice that shouted. There was a blast that made the door rattle on it’s hinges; Snape was lifted off his feet and slammed into the watt, then slid down it to the floor, a trickle of blood oozing from under his hair” (Rowling 361). This shows Rowling’s ability to make the scene come to life. Harry Potter had more of a grasping topic, while Warriors: The Sun Trail is a prologue. This, for example is a strength compared to Warriors.
Warriors: The Sun Trail by Erin Hunter
Warriors was undoubtedly a fun read, seeing what life as a cat would be. Gray Wing’s lifestyle and way of seeing things gave a defendant shock, because of the tragedy. Warriors was certainly more action packed, especially since the cats on their journey weren’t the only predators out there. For example when the cats are on a mountain and eagles threaten their safety. While fighting, one of the cats, Gray Wing’s friend gets stolen by one of the eagles in an attempt to drive them away, “What . . . ? Pain made Gray Wing slow to realize that was happening. Then he saw that the eagle had caught hold of Bright Stream, its cruel talons sunk into her haunches. She shrieked as the bird lifted her off the ground. ‘Gray Wing! Help me!’”(Hunter 108). This proves that the book is in fact, action packed. However though a book may be packed with adventure does not make it a good book, and at sometimes can become overwhelming. Verdict While both books did have their own strengths and weaknesses, Warriors was a good prologue if you're eager to start the series, it did a good job of setting up the story.
The amount of action and adventure did make for a good book however but, Harry Potter really sealed the deal. J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was more developed and had a more intricate plot. However if you want to read a whole series, Harry Potter isn’t a good book to start with considering so much happened in the past two books. Warriors is a good start to the long story if you are interested in the Warriors series. However the Harry Potter series is a more exciting, mysterious read and I recommend reading
it.
