What are the moral lessons of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban?

Answer 1

The lesson is that you should learn all sides of the story before making judgements, and that secrets and unforseen circumstances can greatly impact peoples lives. Of course, the overlaid theme of all the Harry Potter books are there too: That goodness, kindness, and truth conquer evil.

Answer 2

When judging a person's character, look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

This was said by Sirius Black III to Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger in the book. He was talking about Bartemius Crouch Sr. Sirius meant that you'll get a good idea of whether someone is good or bad by looking at how he treats those who are his inferiors, not his equals. We found out that Crouch was a bad person when we saw how he treated his house-elf, Winky during the night of the final match of the Quidditch World Cup.

Don't delay your actions for tomorrow.

This lesson comes from the long three-month period between the First and Second Tasks. Despite Hermione Granger's advise, Harry Potter delayed finding out the clue of the Golden Egg until there was only six weeks or so left to the Second Task. If it weren't for Dobby (or Neville Longbottom in the film adaptation), Harry would never have figured out a way to breathe underwater for a whole hour.

Don't suspect someone of doing something without any proof.

When Harry Potter got chosen as the "second" Hogwarts Triwizard Champion in October 31, 1994 by the Goblet of Fire, Ronald Weasley thought that Harry had done so on purpose with no real proof. Later on, Ron was proven wrong.

Don't believe in everything you hear.

This moral comes from Molly Weasley's mistake, when she believed Rita Skeeter's story in Witch Weekly about Hermione Granger "playing" with Harry Potter and Viktor Krum's hearts. Upon reading the article, Mrs. Weasley started being cold with Hermione (such as when she sent her an Easter egg smaller than a chicken egg but sent Harry a dragon egg-sized Easter egg) until Harry told him that he and Hermione were not girlfriends and were only friends.

Don't judge people by their outward appearance.

This moral comes from Rubeus Hagrid's revelance by Rita Skeeter in the Daily Prophet as a half-giant. True, Hagrid was big and looked a little scary, but he is very kind with people and has a faithful heart.
