Pre-owned GOOD CONDITION. Jacket and boards show normal shelf wear; page edges clean with tight binding. No writing or torn pages noted. See pics as they are part of the description. True U.S. first edition, first printing (July 2000) of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, published by Scholastic / Arthur A. Levine. Includes both well-known first-printing text errors later corrected. Error — page 291: Harry’s letter to Sirius is missing the word “know”: “I don’t who put my” (should read “I don’t know who put my”). Error — page 667 (Priori Incantatem): James Potter emerges first, then Lily. James is described as “the man” / “a tall man with untidy hair,” then says “Your mother’s coming,” after which Lily appears and “straightened like her husband.” Later printings reverse this to Lily first, then James.
