Scholastic, the global children's publishing, education and media company, announced today that it will publish the interactive illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in the U.S. on October 14, 2025. This stunning special edition of the fourth book in J.K. Rowling's iconic series (ISBN 978-1-5461-5441-9; $49.99 U.S.; 608 pages; All Ages) is illustrated in brilliant full-color by Karl James Mountford, with paper-engineered interactive elements by Jess Tice-Gilbert. The book will be published simultaneously in the U.K. by Bloomsbury Children's Books.

In this deluxe special edition of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, J.K. Rowling's complete and unabridged text is accompanied by vibrant full-color illustrations throughout and eight paper-engineered interactive elements including the Maze of the Triwizard Tournament and the Goblet of Fire itself. Readers will also explore the Weasleys' tent at the Quidditch World Cup, reveal the Dark Mark in the sky, follow Harry into the Lake at Hogwarts, and more. This keepsake edition is an impressive gift for Harry Potter fans of all ages, a beautiful addition to any collector's bookshelf, and an enchanting way to share this beloved series with a new generation of readers.

Ellie Berger, President of Scholastic Trade Publishing, said:
"As the U.S. publisher of Harry Potter, it's exciting to see J.K. Rowling's beloved series illustrated and reimagined by a talented group of international artists over the years including Mary GrandPre, Brian Selznick, Kazu Kibuishi, Jim Kay, MinaLima, Ziyi Gao, and now Karl James Mountford. We are thrilled to continue to publish these beautifully illustrated interactive editions that Harry Potter fans as well as new readers will enjoy reading, treasure and collect."

Illustrator Karl James Mountford said, "I grew up with Harry Potter, and these books are so special and a real throwback to my childhood. That's the magic of Harry Potter, the stories are for everyone. Always will be. It's wonderful, surreal, and a little bit terrifying to illustrate the interactive edition of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. With big and extremely talented footsteps to follow, it's an honor to be a part of this magical world and have the opportunity to work on a story that I love so much. With the incredible team of Potterheads at Scholastic, this has been a remarkable experience for me. I hope that readers can look for the love, respect, and adventure within my artwork, bringing my own flavour of creativity in continuing such a stunning collection of books."
