Harry Potter Wand Box
From the first installment of the blockbuster Harry Potter series 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.' (2001) This is one of the prop Wand boxes seen on the shelf in Ollivander's wand shop.

During filming, the wand boxes were prone to tipping over and the contents falling out, so sealed, empty boxes were substituted on the shelves for easier handling. The box has an 'Ollivander's' sticker affixed to the lid, and is signed underneath by actress Maggie Smith, who plays Professor Minerva McGonagall in the series. (measures approx. 14 1/4"x 3 1/2").

Comes with a letter of provenance stating the item is part of a single owner collection of Harry Potter props and memorabilia since 2003. Acquired from a movie prop dealer who obtained this item from an employee of Leavesden Studio or an acquaintance of that employee. Most Sorcerer' Stone props were discarded by the studio. Knowing their value, employees and others recovered the disposed of props. Since the props were disposed of and subsequently retrieved, almost no movie props from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone have a Certificate of Authenticity besides the few items donated to charities.
