book containing Daniel Radcliffe's first autograph and signatures ...

A rare Harry Potter book which contains Daniel Radcliffe's very first autograph, signed when he was just 11 years old, is set to go under the hammer with a 'very conservative estimate' of £300-£500.

Verity Collins, 33, gathered 13 signatures from the star cast while an extra during the filming of the Philosopher's Stone in Goathland, North Yorkshire, almost 19 years ago.

Ms Collins, who was then 15, approached Daniel Radcliffe, who was sitting alone in the marquee, and asked him to sign her hardback copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

The actor, who was playing the lead role at 11-years-old, responded by telling her that it was the first time he had been asked to sign anything.
