Harry Potter and Ron missed the train! What else to do than to enchant a car and drive it to school. 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.This let the filmmakers rotate, pitch, and roll the car backward and forward. 'We had 16 different Anglias,' reveals John, 'all of which were differently adapted.' These two Anglia's you see here are tribute cars to the flying car from Harry Potter.
