Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Interactive Illustrated Edition (Hardcover)
$40 (was $50) | Releases October 14
The Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Interactive Illustrated Edition is a special hardcover edition of the fourth novel in the series with new cover art and 150 full-color illustrations by Karl James Mountford.
Along with artwork throughout, eight scenes from The Goblet of Fire are accompanied by interactive elements. Scholastic has teased a few of the papercraft components: the Weasley family tent at the Quidditch World Cup, the moment Harry sees the Dark Mark in the Sky, Harry’s journey to the Lake at Hogwarts, and the maze from the final challenge of the Triwizard Tournament.
The Goblet of Fire: Interactive Illustrated Edition is 608 pages, which is markedly shorter than the original 752-page hardcover, but it’s worth emphasizing that the upcoming edition still contains the complete unabridged text.

Harry Potter fans interested in starting a collection of Interactive Illustrated Editions can save big on the first three books. A box set compiling the first three released last fall, but it’s roughly $20 cheaper to buy each book individually right now. The only downside to buying each book on its own is you miss out on the gorgeous display box. Like Goblet of Fire, the first three novels each contain over 150 full-color illustrations and eight interactive elements.
