The 22-year-old singer is a self-confessed 'Harry Potter' fanatic, having celebrated his most recent birthday with a Hogwarts-themed bash, and has revealed the lengths his obsession has stretched to.

Liam - who is the proud owner of the battered Ford Anglia 105E used in the 2002 film - shared: "I bought the Harry Potter car and I put it in my garden.

"You know the blue car, the flying car? I bought one because I'm a bit of a geek."

Liam also revealed he's a fully fledged member of Harry's famous school house, Gryffindor, after taking an online exam.

He told BBC Radio 1: "I did the test on the website.

"My friend got Hufflepuff and I got Gryffindor. He was so annoyed."

However, Liam isn't the only member of One Direction who is obsessed with the 'Harry Potter' stories, as his bandmate Niall Horan previously admitted after taking a tour of the studios where the films were shot.

He wrote on Twitter: "Not gona lie, I'm obsessed with Harry potter now, I've watched 5 movies in 3 days since I've been to the studio tour! (sic)"
