A LAINDON sculptor won a dream project when he was commissioned to create the promotional version of the trophy that is a focal point of the latest Harry Potter film.

Aden Hynes, a big fan of the JK Rowling series, sculpted the Tri-Wizard Cup for the London premiere of the Goblet of Fire.

His masterpiece, which took him three weeks to complete, is now on display at the Odeon Cinema in Leicester Square.

Aden Hynes, 46, who is based at Sculpture Studios, Hornsby Square, Laindon, has worked on television and film industry projects for the past 17 years.
