[Signed] [First Edition] 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'

Joanne (Kathleen) Rowling (2000) 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire', UK first edition, second printing, published by Bloomsbury, printed by Clays. Signed and inscribed by Rowling on the dedication page: "to Ben, with many [twice underscored] thanks JK Rowling". Condition: near fine with usual toning to the paper commensurate with age and light shelf wear including a push to the spine foot. The dust jacket is colour faded. Provenance and pricing: By the year 2000 Harry Potter had become a global phenomenon loved and read by children and adults alike. Rowling embarked on a big promotional tour in the UK signing books in many parts of the country. There was even a 'Hogwarts Express' train which traveled from England north to Scotland stopping in a few locations where Rowling would sign copies of 'Goblet of Fire'. The rule for the lucky holders of a 'Golden Ticket' was that only one book could be signed per ticket holder, and that Rowling would not pen any dedication/ inscription alongside her signature. Therefore, 'flat signed' copies of 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' are the most common of the seven Harry Potter books. This copy has been given by Rowling to one of her security staff and therefore it is beautifully inscribed. Although not a first printing, an inscription like that adds considerable value due to the association and for being unusual. A first printing with such an inscription would fetch several thousand more in today's market. First and Fine
