The Flying Ford Anglia is a light blue Ford Anglia, that was heavily modified by Arthur Weasley. He enchanted it, giving it the ability to fly and turn invisible. It was also modified so that it can magically stretch (on the inside) to fit ten people, six trunks, two owls, and a rat comfortably.

[edit] Usage

[edit] Fred and George's Rescue

This car is used by Fred, George, and Ron Weasley to rescue Harry Potter when he is locked in his room at the Dursleys. Harry is worried about his friends getting in trouble for using the car due to the Reasonable Restriction for Underage Magic but as they didn't place the spell upon the car and are "only borrowing it," it "doesn't count." Upon their Return to the Burrow, Mrs. Weasley is angry at her sons for taking the car but places no blame on Harry. The next morning, at breakfast, Mrs Weasley tells Mr. Weasley what the boys did and he starts to ask how it went before being stopped by his wife.

[edit] Ron and Harry's Flight

At the start of their second year Harry and Ron use this vehicle to get to Hogwarts when they are unable to get onto Platform 9¾ due to an enchantment caused by Dobby the house-elf on the entrance. Just as they are arriving at Hogwarts, the car begins to break down and they end up crashing into the Whomping Willow. The car, after unloading everything and everyone in it, drove off into the Forbidden Forest, where it later saved Harry, Ron, and Hagrid's dog, Fang, from Aragog and his spiders. Considering it did all of this on its own it has somehow become sentient.

[edit] Behind the scenes

  • J. K. Rowling said in 1999 that it was supposed to reappear in a future book, but eventually discarded the idea.
  • In a deleted scene from the film Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Ron says that the Forbidden Forest has turned the car wild.
  • The car appeared in 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull during the Motorycycle chase in the background same colour and model.
