Always wondered what would have happened to the flying car. i thought it might reappear in some of the other parts but it never did.--Morsmordree 08:21, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

A very good question. While the car never again features in the novels after 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets', it is briefly mentioned in a later book (from memory, 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban') and is said to be "currently running wild in the Forbidden Forest" where it disappeared into after saving Harry and Ron from Aragog's lair in their second year. If I had read this question prior to the release of the 'Deathly Hallows', I would have said that the flying Ford Anglia could re-appear in the last book of the series. As we know, there is no mention of it throughout book seven. One theory might suggest that possibly, the car had joined in on an off-screen fight during the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998. That could be wrong, but to me, the final battle was a lot like a reunion of past characters that had not been seen for a while. Everyone from the acromantula and centaurs in the Forbidden Forest to Grawp and the Hogwarts House-Elves made re-appearances in this battle as a way of, I believe to be, saying goodbye to the readers before the final curtain call. So who's to say that the car didn't make an unmentioned appearance; possibly running over a Death Eater (that idea just warms my heart).--Yin&Yang 12:46, October 1, 2009 (UTC)


LOL. that is exactly what I would have expected. You stole the thoughts from my mind. Great thinking. I would have expected it to help the three characters whenever they entered the forest or on their run in chapter 7. but hey i got no regrets the thought of a flying invisible car gives me goosebumps!!--Morsmordree 03:22, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

Ha ha ha ha ha! Yeah, I agree. It kind of gives you that feeling of being watched, doesn't it? Especially since it's a Ford Anglia from pre-1992! Urgh!--Yin&Yang 07:19, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

Would've been awesome if it was mentioned in the epilogue, like Harry warning his kids.

JK Rowling has actually said she wanted to include the Flying Ford Angelina in the Battle of Hogwarts but couldn't find a place to mention it fighting that worked well with the chapter. I agree with her though as the battle was from Harry's perspective which was inside Hogwarts and unless she just put a brief mention of the car driving wildly as Harry, Ron and Hermione crept to the Shrieking Shack I just think it was better that the car was omitted.
