Lot #10
An original Hogwarts invitation envelope from the production of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Warner Bros. Pictures, 2001).
During a scene of the film where Harry's uncle, Vernon Dursley (Richard Griffiths), tries to prevent Harry from seeing his acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Dursley house becomes overrun with flying envelopes.
This prop envelope features a printed wax seal on the reverse side rather than a real wax seal so that it would be light enough to "fly" around the room. On the rear, the Hogwarts crest is depicted.
The front of the envelope shows Harry Potter's address at the Dursley residence printed in green.

An original gold-tone Golden Snitch as used by Daniel Radcliffe as "Harry Potter" in production of the film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Warner Bros. Pictures, 2001).
This Snitch is composed of resin and features a polished gold-tone exterior.
This type of prop can be seen used during the first Quidditch game in the Harry Potter series, in a match between Slytherin and Gryffindor. The Golden Snitch is a small, walnut-sized ball with wings that serves as the most important ball in the game of Quidditch, the wizarding sport played on broomsticks. The Snitch is enchanted to fly around the Quidditch pitch at high speeds, and the Seeker's objective is to catch it. When the Seeker catches the Snitch, their team earns 150 points, and the game typically ends. The Golden Snitch plays a significant role in the outcome of Quidditch matches and is crucial for securing victory.

Lot #73
An original USO shield prop as used by Chris Evans as "Steve Rogers / Captain America" in Captain America: The First Avenger (Marvel Studios, 2011).
This shield is composed of urethane, with faux leather straps adhered on the back side for securing the wearer's arm. The weight and quality of this shield indicates it was likely utilized for scenes that required a soft and flexible stunt prop. The Stage 4 weathering applied during the production aligns with the type of shields seen in the film.
This type of shield can be seen while Captain America is performing on-stage as "The Star Spangled Man." The iconic stars and stripes of Captain America's costume are depicted on the shield. Captain America is also seen using this style of shield in battle against Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) and Hydra.
The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of World War II, centering on Steve Rogers, a brave but physically frail young man. Upon volunteering for a classified military experiment, he undergoes a transformation into the super-soldier known as Captain America. Equipped with his iconic shield and newfound enhanced abilities, Captain America confronts the sinister organization HYDRA, helmed by the malevolent Red Skull. Red Skull aims to dominate the world using advanced weaponry fueled by the Tesseract, an enigmatic artifact of extraordinary power whose origins remain shrouded in mystery.
