It's a 4 out of 4 for illustrator Jim Kay and renowned author J. K. Rowling as we are about to relive Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in a magnificent illustrated edition. It's among the thickest books in the series and I am wondering how unwieldy this edition will be once it hits books stores worldwide.
One thing I am sure though: the newly released official cover art of this edition is nothing short of spectacular. Unlike the first three illustrated edition, the cover does not feature a magical vehicle or some form of mechanical conveyance. Instead it showcases one of the fantastic beasts, specifically a dragon, in one of the most exciting scenes of the book. In fact I was actually expecting the cover to feature the Beauxbatons Carriage and Durmstrang Ship for continuity...
Check out the cover of the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling and Jim Kay.
And here is the full jacket art.
You may head over to Pottermore for some more exclusive art found inside the book.
