Who do you think is the biggest Harry Potter fan? Surprisingly it's not a child or teenager but a 37 year old lawyer from Mexico.

Over the past 14 years he's collected 3,097 pieces of Harry Potter memorabilia that includes figures of the main characters, clothes and toys.

Asher Silva Vargas has now made it into the Guinness Book of Records.

He said it was never his intention to buy so many things.
