There must be several versions of this car, as it took quite a beating from when it first launched Ron & Harry in the sky from London, to when we last saw it after rescuing them from Aragog's kids.

Wow that's GREAT! It's not like WB needs the car or has any use for it anymore

I take it this isn't the original. Something to do with it being stolen. Or did they recover it?

That would be soooo cool!!!!!! Wish I could go......

We are going to take the train from St. Louis to Chicago the week it opens. We are VERY excited to see the exhibit!

Why Chicago??????? Talk about random.


Posted by stellathemuggle Mar 19th 2009

Oh, wow! That's something I'd love to see. Teehee, as soon as I saw this, I thought of Andrew on MuggleCast calling it the 'Ford Angela'. =]


Posted by alexxx Mar 19th 2009

ahhhh coool!


Posted by Bethhh Mar 19th 2009

cool .. i agree with merry_sa : why chicago?? I would really like to go .. but cant :/


Posted by SuzieQ Mar 19th 2009

what is the point of all of these exhibitions of stuff? they're just movie props... i dunno I've never found anything from the movies all that fascinating. If JKR isn't going to be there, or it's not about the books... who cares? Other movies have props in them as well, cars and costumes, it's all the same...


Posted by sparklypancakes Mar 20th 2009

I agree with merry_sa as well, Chicago does seem really random for the world premiere of this exhibit but, I'm happy, because I live near Chicago. :D


Posted by hermionenessie Mar 20th 2009

wouldn't it be funny if you could, say, kneel close behind the front window to look like you're driving it? lol


Posted by Jacqueezy12 Mar 23rd 2009

i was just at the museum its in and they already have the car set up in the front hallway with the description of what the car actually is (story wise) i took pictures of it and with it i was so pumped
