A Welsh woman set a Guinness World RecordFor her collection of 5,284 items of Harry Potter memorabilia.

Tracey Nicol-Lewis of Mid Glamorgan told Guinness World Records that she began collecting J.K. Rowling’s book series and film adaptations products in 2002, and her collection now includes special edition books, toys, key chains, artwork, prop replicas, Lego sets, and more.

Nicol-Lewis, who had a Harry Potter-themed wedding, said her collection fills three rooms in her home.

Victoria Maclean, a fellow Welsh inhabitant, held the previous record with a collection of 3,686 pieces.

On the other hand, a man named Harry Potter has spent the last 25 years attempting to persuade others that he shares a name with the fictional wizard.

Potter, from Hampshire’s Waterlooville, claims he has been disciplined in football games and was even labeled a liar by his future wife after giving her his name, which he shares with J.K. Rowling’s fictional wizard.

“People just don’t believe me,” he told LADbible.

“When I was a young footballer, a referee threatened me with a red card for saying my name was Harry Potter.”

“When I met my wife Philippa on holiday in Greece, she didn’t believe me either.”

“People think it’s a wind-up. I’ve had the mick taken out of me over the years but you get used to it.” Potter works in complaints and says that his name might make the job tough at times.

According to him, “When you ring someone up and they ask your name they usually dissolve into laughter or say, ‘You’re joking.” “It makes making a complaint quite difficult.”
