Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth novel in the Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling. It follows Harry Potter, a young wizard in his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as he is chosen by the Goblet of Fire to compete in the Triwizard Tournament, a hazardous competition between three rival schools of magic.

One way to determine if a copy of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a first edition is to look at the publication information in the book. A number line with '1' present typically indicates a first printing. Additionally, for the UK edition published by Bloomsbury, the presence of a dust jacket without the 'Winner of the Hugo Award' label can be an indicator of a first edition, as this was added in later prints after the book won the award in 2001.
