Asher Silva Vargas owns a world record-breaking 3,000 pieces of Harry Potter memorabilia after realising he should take his love of the franchise seriously when the "treasures" took up more than one room.

Asher Silva Vargas, 37, owns 3,097 pieces of Harry Potter merchandise which means he is now the Guinness World Record holder of having the biggest collection of stuff from the popular books and films, originally written by J.K. Rowling.

The Mexican lawyer received his accolade after spending the last 14 years collecting though he said it was never his intention to build such a large collection.
