In order for Mrs. MacLean to be presented with the award, she had to undergo a rigorous process. A process which involved her having to pack up every single Wizarding World item she owned and transporting it to her local rugby club.
From there it had to be laid out in full, before being officially counted and verified. This process reportedly had to be done more than once, after some items were clumped together as one when they should have been counted individually.
🙌 Congratulations to Harry Potter superfan Victoria from Tonna in Neath Port Talbot. 🙌

Of course, once that process was complete, Mrs. MacLean then had to pack up everything and take it all home again.
Just imagine that for a moment, packing 3,686 pieces of Wizarding World merchandise, some of it would have been small but there some items would have been fairly big, transporting it all, unpacking it all, and then doing the whole process again in reverse.
Now that is commitment.
