If you're a die-hard fan of the Harry Potter series like me, you know that revisiting the magical world never gets old. While the movies offer a visual feast, the illustrated editions of the books provide an even more immersive experience. Though a full set of illustrated books is still in the works, fans have something exciting to look forward to: a new interactive edition of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," set to release on October 14, 2025, which is available for preorder now.
Don't mix up these interactive editions with the Jim Kay-illustrated versions; these are unique with stunning illustrations and innovative paper-engineered elements that literally leap off the page. You can secure your copy at either Barnes & Noble or Amazon, with the latter offering the best deal.
Out October 14, 2025
This edition boasts 150 vibrant, full-color illustrations and interactive elements reminiscent of a pop-up book. The artwork is brought to life by illustrator Karl James Mountford, with papercraft designs by Jess Tice-Gilbert. This marks a shift from the previous interactive illustrated editions by MinaLima, which concluded with "The Prisoner of Azkaban." Though the style differs, this is fantastic news for collectors eager to complete their set.

For those interested in the Jim Kay illustrated editions, note that they currently extend only up to the fifth book. In 2022, Jim Kay stepped away from the project, leaving the completion of "The Half-Blood Prince" and "The Deathly Hallows" uncertain. However, there's still hope that a new illustrator might step in to finish the series.
