J.K. Rowling has said how much she admires Jim Kay’s illustrations for the Harry Potter books and no wonder: he’s the perfect artist for her stories, bringing the people, creatures and natural world of her imagination to life in such a way that they seem to spill out from the pages.

The Goblet of Fire is where things start to take a turn for the dark in the Harry Potter stories, and Kay is more than up to that. The book opens with a terrifying visit to the Riddle House, home to Lord Voldemort. Surrounded by brambles and thorns it’s a dark, malevolent presence on pages that are heavy with menace.

It’s not all death and destruction of course – there are many comic images too: a wonderful representation of the heavily stamped letter Mrs Weasley sends to the Dursleys; fabulous paintings of Hogwarts witches and wizards refusing to be bound by their frames.

And best of all, there are dramatic paintings of dragons, so realistic you can practically hear them snorting as you turn the pages. It’s glorious – a treat for Harry Potter fans old and new, and for anyone who appreciates great illustration.

Prepare to be spellbound by Jim Kay's inspired reimagining of Harry Potter's fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Read the full description

When Harry is unexpectedly chosen to compete in the legendary Triwizard Tournament, he finds himself facing death-defying tasks, dragons and Dark wizards. Although his friends do their best to help him prepare, Harry must navigate each treacherous test alone, pushing his courage and quick-thinking to their limits. But while the attention of the wizarding world is focused on the Tournament, a much bigger challenge is lurking in the shadows. Lord Voldemort is plotting his return …

This irresistible smaller-format paperback edition has been beautifully redesigned with selected full-colour illustration highlights, bringing J.K. Rowling's storytelling genius and Jim Kay's artistic wizardry to a new generation of readers. Experience the excitement of the Quidditch World Cup, the cheery comfort of The Burrow and the festive grandeur of the Yule Ball, and meet such unforgettable characters as Cedric Diggory, Fleur Delacour and Viktor Krum.

Fizzing with magic and brimming with humour, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire will captivate wizards and Muggles alike.

J. K. (Jo) Rowling was born in Chipping Sodbury in the UK in 1965. She attended the University of Exeter in Devon where she studied French. Her parents hoped that by studying languages, she would enjoy a great career as a bilingual secretary. But as Jo recalls, 'I am one of the most disorganised people in the world and, as I later proved, the worst secretary ever.' She claims that she never paid much attention in meetings because she was too busy scribbling down ideas.

When she was 26, she went to Portugal to teach English, which she really enjoyed. Working afternoons and evenings, she had mornings free to write. When she returned to the UK, Jo had a suitcase full of stories about Harry Potter. In 1996, one year after finishing the book, Bloomsbury bought Jo's first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. A few months after 'Harry' was accepted for publication in Britain, an American publisher bought the rights for enough money to enable Jo to write full time.
