Harry Potter fan gets into record books

To quote Albus Dumbledore, “It is our choices... that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” 

A 38-year-old Wales woman has magically made her way into the book of Guinness World Records by amassing 3,686 pieces of collectibles related to “Harry Potter” creator J.K. Rowling. 

Victoria Maclean started collecting Rowling-related keepsakes 18 years ago when she was pregnant and got her hands on a first edition copy of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.” 

"I am not one for following trends . . . however, something struck a chord with me with Harry Potter,” Maclean explained on her YouTube channel. 

She instantly connected with the boy magician, who was in school before unlocking his unique talents. Maclean, a late bloomer who was teased as a kid because she struggled with reading and writing, found her secret gift was an eye for J.K. Rowling paraphernalia. 

“I realized then that I was a true professional, proper, number one, definitely going to do it collector of Harry Potter memorabilia,” said Maclean. She estimates that her collection, which isn’t limited to Harry Potter, is worth $100,000.
