This is a True First American Edition, First Printing of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (published July 2000), remaining in flawless, never-opened and unread condition. Beneath the vibrant dust jacket illustrated by Mary GrandPré, the book features its original rich crimson/red hardboards with the signature diamond-patterned embossing and a black cloth spine. The spine features the correct, authentic "Year 4" series badge at the top, perfectly matching its first-trade release state. Because it has never been opened, the spine tension is perfectly tight, and the pages are exceptionally crisp.
