On 14th October, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire will reappear on bookshop shelves with a glossy makeover, complete with over 150 brand-new full-colour illustrations and paper-engineered interactive elements. The new interpretation of the story comes from the artistic talents of illustrator Karl James Mountford, while Jess Tice-Gilbert brings the book to greater heights with some beautifully designed papercraft. And today, we can reveal to you the cover and a few sneak peeks inside!!
This deluxe special edition of the fourth instalment of Harry’s Hogwarts adventures has brought several key moments to life in a kaleidoscope of colour. Through new artwork and paper-engineered magic, you can explore the twists and turns of the Triwizard Tournament maze, or gasp in shock as Voldemort’s Dark Mark rises off the page. There are eight key paper-engineered elements to watch out for, so prepare for a few surprises. Take a look at how it all comes together, with this fabulous example of the Weasley’s Quidditch World Cup tent magically expanding.
Among the illustrations, fans will get to enjoy new depictions of Rita Skeeter, a festive look at the Yule Ball and a haunting chapter page featuring the dilapidated Riddle House. We’re already loving the vibrancy of Rita’s outfit and the attention to detail on her accessories, such as her trademark crocodile-green handbag.
Elsewhere, the Great Hall is resplendent in frosty blues and purples with this beautiful illustration of the Triwizard Tournament’s Yule Ball sequence. You’ll notice Dumbledore’s beard is looking especially fabulous in the crowd!
This is the perfect year to get reacquainted with Goblet of Fire, as 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the book’s release! Ah, we remember queuing up at our local bookshop at midnight well...
The story, which follows Harry as he gets unwittingly embroiled in the legendary Triwizard Tournament, opened up a darker side of the wizarding world for fans, as Lord Voldemort’s ascent to power grows steadily more catastrophic.
So why not celebrate this thrilling instalment of the Harry Potter stories with this beautiful new interpretation?
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’s interactive illustrated edition will launch 14th October with Scholastic in the US. In tandem, the book will be published in the UK with Bloomsbury Children’s Books.
