know)  the shield never did show up in the film.  (I assume it was in the case with 
James  Potter's quidditch award.) So it has become a non-issue.

trophy area - after all, they have a whole room for trophies, and doubtless lots 
of cases for the different sorts of shields and cups.

Erm yourself, here's the article describing it from November 2000, which said:

 "The Harry Potter crew may have upped sticks from Oxford and moved on to 
locations unknown but Empire Online's spies never sleep and have struck paydirt 
yet again with the first ever shots of the Hogwarts trophy cabinet taken on set 
at Christ Church college.

"The Quidditch cup was on full display, engraved with the names of two previous 
seekers, the position Harry plays for the Gryffindor team. . . . 

"Last but by no means least is a very special award for one Tom Riddle, the 
importance of which won't become apparent until the second film. However, 
those of you who have read Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets may 
notice that Riddell's name is spelled differently from the novel, something that 
could prove problematic to the storyline of Harry's second outing."
