The Flying Ford Anglia in the Harry Potter Series
The Flying Ford Anglia is a magical car that appeared in the Harry Potter series. It was a light blue Ford Anglia 105E Deluxe that was enchanted by Arthur Weasley, Ron Weasley’s father. The car had the ability to fly, turn invisible to Muggles, and had an expanded interior space capacity due to an Undetectable Extension Charm.
In the second book, “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” the Flying Ford Anglia played a significant role. Ron, Fred, and George Weasley used the car to rescue Harry from the Dursleys’ home, as they were preventing him from contacting the Wizarding World. Later, Harry and Ron flew the car to Hogwarts, but unfortunately crashed it into the Whomping Willow. The car then turned feral and took up residence in the Forbidden Forest.
After its appearance in “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” the fate of the Flying Ford Anglia is not explicitly mentioned in the books or movies. However, there are theories and speculations among fans about what might have happened to it. Some fans imagine that the car continued to live in the Forbidden Forest and may have played a role in the battle against the Death Eaters.
It’s worth noting that the Flying Ford Anglia was a fictional creation for the Harry Potter series and does not exist in the Muggle world. However, the Ford Anglia 105E itself was a real car model produced by Ford from 1959 to 1967.
Conclusion
The Flying Ford Anglia was a magical car enchanted by Arthur Weasley in the Harry Potter series. It played a significant role in “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” but its fate after that is not explicitly mentioned. Fans have speculated that it may have continued to reside in the Forbidden Forest.
