Eli Chmelik identified 19 Harry Potter characters from film quotes in a minute and said he "could have got a lot more"
An 11-year-old boy has set a world record for identifying the most Harry Potter characters from film quotes within 60 seconds. Eli Chmelik, from Manningtree in Essex, got 19 correct answers and said it felt "very strange" to hold the record. He said he decided to take on the challenge after seeing the same feat completed for the Star Wars franchise.Eli said he "instantly loved the entire series" when he read the first Harry Potter book aged six and since then had "obsessively" read J.K. Rowling's books about a boy wizard "dozens of times each".
The Colchester Royal Grammar School pupil said he prepared for his record attempt by reading them "more than I normally do, which is saying something".Eli's mother, Bonny Chmelik, 43, said she was "so proud" of her son."I didn't realise quite how much work I was letting myself in for."
