The famous flying Ford Anglia from Harry Potter lands in Old Lyon

The magic of Harry Potter is once again flying over Lyon! After having notably welcomed the famous Batmobile from Batman, the Cinema & Miniature Museum of Lyon now exhibits the blue Ford Anglia 105e Deluxe, used several times by Harry and Ron in the Harry Potter saga. Magically modified to fly and become invisible, this model, signed by the actors of the films, is said to be able to hold 10 people and 6 suitcases without ever seeming to need gas... ford anglia harry potter lyon

The creator of this magical car, J. K. Rowling, was inspired by her friend Sean Harris' Ford Anglia to create this unique and liberating means of transportation, a symbol of escape for both Harry and Rowling.

The adventures of the Ford Anglia in Harry Potter

For those who need a little reminder, this is the same car that Ron, Fred, and George Weasley use to rescue Harry from the Dursley's house in the summer of 1992 in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. They tear off the bars from Harry's window and fly away to the astonishment of Vernon, Petunia, and Dudley Dursley.
