A youngster has received the ultimate prize for Harry Potter fans - a book signed by author JK Rowling and a trip to see the film.

James Harris, seven, of Easterside, Middlesbrough, was among seven winners.

He entered a competition run by The Turner Syndrome Support Society and sponsored by Pharmacia, which supplies a growth hormone to the National Health Service, in which youngsters were asked to produce a poem, story or picture involving someone magically shrinking or growing.

The winners saw Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in London's West End. They were also presented with signed copies of the first Harry Potter book.
