A woman has converted her office space into a Harry Potter haven - complete with a Gryffindor-themed desk and a replica of Dumbledore's lectern.

Carla Rodriguez, 32, has been a Harry Potter fan since the first film came out more than 20 years ago.

It took more than two years to convert her office space into a Harry Potter-themed sanctuary where she can work.

The renovation included the installation of bookshelves, wrapping the ceiling in midnight sky wallpaper, just like the Hogwarts Great Hall, and removing the carpeted floor to replace it with tiles.

The shelves were filled with Carla's collection including character figurines from the famed books and a collection of 10 Hogwarts castle miniatures.

The couple also added a rail ladder, just like in the Hogwarts library, and a Gryffindor-themed desk with a tapestry, emulating scenes from the Gryffindor common room.

And last year for Carla's birthday, her husband drove all the way to Chicago to pick up a replica of Dumbledore's lectern.
