The verdict

I have a real soft spot for that battered turquoise Anglia, and this is the first LEGO version that actually does the thing it should: press the bumpers and the doors fly open while the trunk shoots out the back at roughly movie speed.

It is a clever, satisfying little machine and a lovely 60-minute build. What holds me back from raving is the finish, because the sticker-to-brick color match on the bodywork is genuinely off in person, and the brick-built Harry and Ron have flat printed-sticker faces that look a bit odd up close. If you love the car and the play feature more than pixel-perfect paintwork, you will be very happy.

Best for: Harry Potter fans who want the flying car with a working boot-launch gag on the shelf

The full review

What it is

This is the enchanted Ford Anglia from Chamber of Secrets, the wheezing turquoise escape car Harry and Ron take when the barrier to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters seals shut. LEGO has made this car before, but never like this. The whole model is built around a two-stage play feature: press the rear bumper to arm the boot, then press the front bumper and the doors spring open while the brick-built trunk launches clean out of the back. The speed it flings that trunk is genuinely close to the film, and that is the part that got me. It is one of those mechanisms you keep resetting just to watch it go again.

The catch

I will be straight with you about where it wobbles. The bodywork uses stickers for some of the paneling, and the color of those stickers does not match the turquoise of the bricks underneath. In the official marketing shots it is retouched away, but in your hands, under normal light, it is noticeable and a little annoying on a set at this price. The other letdown is the figures. Rather than proper minifigures you get brick-built Harry and Ron who sit permanently in the seats with no posable limbs, and their faces are flat stickers with a slightly strange design. A tiny Hedwig rides in the back, which is a sweet touch, but the humans feel like a compromise.

Who it's for

So who should get this. If you adore the flying car, or you want a Harry Potter display piece with an actual party trick built in, this is an easy yes, especially buttoned up on a shelf where the boot-launch becomes the whole point. It also makes a genuinely fun 60-minute build for a rainy afternoon. Who should skip it: anyone chasing display-case perfection who will be bothered every time they catch that mismatched turquoise, and collectors who specifically want swappable, posable minifigures rather than fixed brick-built passengers. Know which camp you are in and this is an easy call.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

Building it is a pleasant hour. The mechanism goes in early and is the most interesting stretch, a little linkage of arms and a spring-loaded catch that connects the two bumpers to the doors and the ejecting trunk, and it is satisfying to watch it come together and then actually work when you test it. After that it is mostly bodywork, curves and slopes shaping that rounded 1960s profile, with a mercifully small pile of stickers compared to a lot of licensed sets. Nothing is fiddly enough to frustrate a younger builder, and the age rating of ten and up feels about right.

The stars here are the shaping pieces rather than any single rare mold, lots of curved slopes and wedge plates in that specific turquoise doing the heavy lifting on the silhouette. That turquoise is where the value question lives, because the recolored elements are the draw and also the source of the sticker-mismatch grumble. At 868 pieces for 79.99 dollars you are paying a touch above the usual per-piece rate, and you are paying it for the licence and the mechanism more than for a parts haul. Bricklinkers hunting rare printed parts will not find much to raid, but fans of the finished object get a car that earns its shelf space.

Fun facts

01The car is based on a real 1962 Ford Anglia 105E, the boxy little British saloon with the distinctive reverse-slanted rear window, and the production reportedly went through a fleet of them while filming Chamber of Secrets.
02In the film the flying Anglia belongs to Arthur Weasley, who charmed it to fly despite Ministry rules against bewitching Muggle objects, a detail Molly is not thrilled about.
03This is not LEGO's first crack at the car: it appeared inside the 2018 Whomping Willow (75953) and as a standalone set (76424) in 2023, but 76470 is the first to build the movie's boot-launch gag into a real spring mechanism.
04Instead of standard minifigures, Harry and Ron are custom brick-built figures designed to stay seated in the car, with a tiny brick Hedwig riding along in the back.
