Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2001)

The first Bloomsbury paperback of Goblet of Fire was published in 2001 under the ISBN 0 7475 5099 9, with 636 pages. It followed the 2000 hardback, so it is a first paperback edition rather than a first edition.

Most copies are worth only a few pounds, because the print run was enormous. What makes one collectable is an early printing in exceptional condition.

How to check the printing:

• Look at the copyright page for a statement of edition and a number line. A line ending in 1 indicates the first printing of this paperback.
• Make sure the ISBN matches. Bloomsbury published other paperbacks of this title, including adult-cover editions, under different numbers.

We have not yet confirmed the exact copyright page wording of the first paperback printing. If your copy has one, adding it to your collection with a photo of the copyright page helps us record it.

When grading, look for a flat spine with no reading creases, sharp corners and an unfaded cover. This is a thick paperback, and most copies show heavy spine wear, so a genuinely Near Fine copy is far scarcer than the print run suggests.
