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

引用邓布利多的话:“这是我们的选择······这比我们的能力更能说明我们的真实身份。”

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岁的威尔士女子神奇的收集了3686件与《哈利·波特》作者J.K罗琳有关的收藏品，并将其收入吉尼斯世界纪录大全。

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."

维多利亚·麦克林在18年前怀孕时就开始收集罗琳相关的纪念品，她拿到了第一版的《哈利波特和魔法石》的复件。

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

我不是个爱追星的人，我只是从哈利波特身上找到了共鸣。麦克林在她的Youtube上这样解释道。

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.

她立即将自己与进入霍格沃兹前并未解锁独特天赋的魔法师男孩联系在了一起。麦克林，这个大器晚成的姑娘小时候也曾因为在读写能力上的困难而备受嘲笑，但发现自己有在生活中找到与j.k罗琳相关的纪念品的天赋。

"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.

麦克琳说：“那时候，我意识到我是第一个明确去收集哈里波特收藏品的专业的，合格的人士。”她估计她那些不仅仅限于哈里波特的收藏品价值10万美元！
