Condition Report: Very Good. The binding remains tight and square with minor pushing to the spine ends, showcasing bright and unmarred pictorial boards that match the jacket design. The text block exhibits the expected, uniform toning to the page margins commensurate with the paper stock of this period, yet remains entirely clean and free of internal markings, inscriptions, or foxing. The unclipped dust-wrapper (£14.99) presents very well, retaining vivid, unfaded colouring to the spine and panels, though it bears a negligible short closed tear and minor creasing to the upper edge of the front panel near the spine head. A highly presentable, structurally sound example of this scarce printing.

Catalogue Note: This is the scarce true UK First Edition, First Impression, printed by Omnia Books Limited in Glasgow. The vast majority of the enormous initial print run for this title was handled by Clays Ltd., making this alternative Scottish printing by Omnia significantly less common on the open market.

As with all Omnia first printings, this copy features the legendary uncorrected textual errors that define the true first state: notably on page 503 where "Dumbledore, come!" is mistakenly attributed to Crouch rather than Fudge, on page 579 where James Potter incorrectly emerges from Voldemort's wand before Lily, and on page 594 referencing "The Imperius Curse, Moody said" instead of Crouch. The volume features Giles Greenfield’s iconic wrap-around illustrations on both the boards and the dust-wrapper.

The summer holidays are dragging on and Harry Potter cannot wait for the start of the school year. Now in his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry finds himself unexpectedly entered into the legendary Triwizard Tournament. As he faces death-defying tasks, dragons, and Dark wizards, the gathering storm of Lord Voldemort's return threatens everything Harry holds dear. A thrilling turning point in J.K. Rowling’s masterful series, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire deepens the magical world with unparalleled imagination and darker, gripping stakes.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
