As a devoted fan of the Harry Potter series, I find that re-reading the books is always a delightful experience, no matter how many times I've gone through them. Yet, there's something special about exploring the story in new formats. While the movies offer one such avenue, the illustrated editions of the books provide an even more captivating experience. Although the full series of illustrated books is still in the works, fans can 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.
It's important to note that these interactive editions, distinct from Jim Kay's illustrated versions, bring the magic to life with stunning illustrations and innovative paper-engineered elements that leap off the page. You can preorder this exciting new book at both Barnes & Noble and Amazon, with the best discount currently offered by Amazon.

What About the Other Illustrated Editions?
The other illustrated editions of the Harry Potter series, created by Jim Kay, currently extend through the fifth book. In 2022, Kay stepped away from the project, leaving the completion of "The Half-Blood Prince" and "The Deathly Hallows" uncertain. However, there remains hope that a new illustrator will step in to finish the series, much to the delight of fans everywhere.
