A Mexican has recently received the Guinness World Record title for the largest collection of 'Harry Potter' memorabilia, it has been reported.

Menahem Asher Silva Vargas has spent nearly 15 years hoarding all items related to British author J.K. Rowling's young-adult wizard- fantasy series, Fox News reported.

The 37-year-old's collection consists of more than 3000 individual items, including figurines, trading cards, wands, clothing, and accessories and fills two rooms.

The Lawyer laughingly called his obsession both a blessing and a curse as he spends his entire salary and bonuses on the collectibles.
