To quote Albus Dumbledore, "It is our choices... that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."
引用鄧布利多的話:“這是我們的選擇······這比我們的能力更能說明我們的真實身份。”
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.
近日，一名38歲的威爾士女子神奇的收集了3686件與《哈利·波特》作者J.K羅琳有關的收藏品，並將其收入吉尼斯世界紀錄大全。
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."
維多利亞·麥克林在18年前懷孕時就開始收集羅琳相關的紀念品，她拿到了第一版的《哈利波特和魔法石》的復件。
"I am not one for following trends ... however, something struck a chord with me with Harry Potter," Maclean explained on her YouTube channel.
我不是個愛追星的人，我只是從哈利波特身上找到了共鳴。麥克林在她的Youtube上這樣解釋道。
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.
她立即將自己與進入霍格沃茲前並未解鎖獨特天賦的魔法師男孩聯繫在了一起。麥克林，這個大器晚成的姑娘小時候也曾因爲在讀寫能力上的困難而備受嘲笑，但發現自己有在生活中找到與j.k羅琳相關的紀念品的天賦。
"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.
麥克琳說：“那時候，我意識到我是第一個明確去收集哈里波特收藏品的專業的，合格的人士。”她估計她那些不僅僅限於哈里波特的收藏品價值10萬美元！
