There are several important moments in Prisoner of Azkaban where adults deliberately decide to withhold information from Harry, Hermione, and Ron, and from the students more generally. For example, no one tells Harry that Sirius Black is his godfather, nor that Sirius was accused of murdering Peter Pettigrew. No one tells him, initially, why Black is supposedly after him. More broadly, even though dementors – dangerous creatures at the best of times – are guarding Hogwarts, no one teaches the student body how to drive them off, how to protect themselves. When Harry wants that knowledge, he has to actively go after it by going to Professor Lupin. He also puts himself in danger several times because he does not have a full picture of what is happening.

Talk about the motivations the adults might have for doing so, and what both the positive and negative effects are on the young people involved. What messages does the novel convey about adult withholding of knowledge, and how adolescents do or should respond to that?
