The Harry Potter crew had to use 16 different Ford Anglias for this scene alone. It is reported that 14 of them were destroyed. In 2005, three years after Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film) was released, the vehicle used in the original footages was stolen from South West Film Studios in Cornwall, presumably by a fanatic fan. In 2006, the car was found near a castle in England. [8] [9]

The light blue car (license number 7990 TD) that appears in the second film was an authentic 1962 Ford Anglia 105E, built in Ford’s factory in the United Kingdom. Special effects supervisor John Richardson took out the engine and gutted the vehicle to make it lighter, and then fitted it onto a rotating crane with a special joint called a gimbal head.

While the Mini changed everyone’s perception of what a small car could be, the Triumph Herald and the Anglia revolutionised their respective manufacturers’ public image with hitherto unseen sharp, angular styling.The new engine, while still antiquated in concept, pumped out an improved 36bhp and propelled the Anglia to 70mph, passing 60mph in 29.4 seconds In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, Harry used a flying light-blue scooter to travel alongside while Ron flew the car. This engine has a surprising amount of ‘bite’, and provided the gearbox is used the car is very brisk away from a standstill and nips through traffic in an impressive manner,” according to the road tester.
