The Knight Bus delivers Harry to the Leaky Cauldron, where he is forgiven by Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge for using magic outside of Hogwarts. After reuniting with his best friends Ron and Hermione, Harry learns that Sirius Black, a convicted supporter of the dark wizard Voldemort, who murdered Harrys parents, has escaped Azkaban prison, intending to kill Harry.

Terrified and hiding in another painting, the Fat Lady tells Dumbledore that Sirius Black has entered the castle.

Lupin privately teaches Harry to defend himself against dementors, using the Patronus Charm. After Harry, Ron and Hermione witness Buckbeaks execution, Rons pet rat Scabbers bites him and escapes. When Ron gives chase, a large dog appears and drags both Ron and Scabbers into a hole at the Whomping Willows base, which leads to an underground passage to the Shrieking Shack. The trio discover that the dog is actually Sirius, who is an Animagus. Lupin arrives and embraces Sirius as an old friend. He admits to being a werewolf, and explains that Sirius is innocent.

After forcing him back into a human, Lupin and Sirius prepare to kill him, but Harry convinces them to turn Pettigrew over to the dementors. As the group departs, the full moon rises Lupin transforms into a werewolf, and Sirius transforms into his dog form to fight him off. In the chaos, Pettigrew escapes in his rat form.

Acting on Dumbledores advice, Harry and Hermione travel back in time with Hermiones Time Turner, and watch themselves and Ron repeat the nights events.
