| Police think that the thieves were not aware of the car's
cinematic value (Yui Mok/PA) | The "flying" Ford Anglia car used by child wizard
Harry Potter and his chums to escape numerous close scrapes has vanished
from its slot in a West Country film studio.
The blue Ford Anglia 7990 TD used in the Potter films had been parked
under tarpaulin at South West Film Studios in St Agnes, Cornwall, when it
was stolen between Wednesday and Thursday.
"For those who have not seen the Harry Potter films this is the car
that flies in the movie and is very well known," a police spokesman for
Devon and Cornwall said.
It is thought the car could not have been driven,
leading police to think it must have been spirited away
, or more likely, "towed or full
lifted from the scene".
"It was not in good condition and could not have been driven away under
its own steam," added the spokesman.
"The thieves may not have known its connection with the films, and just
thought it was a classic car, or it may have been a Harry Potter freak."
The feisty Anglia often helped Harry and his friend Ron Weasley out of
trouble, despite being driven into a tree on one occasion.
The car, owned by Ron's father - a fan of Muggles inventions - also
helped Harry and Ron escape a forest of giant spiders.

哈利·波特和他的伙伴用來逃難的“飛天車”——一輛福特安格里亞車在英國西南部的一個攝影棚不翼而飛。
這輛車牌號為7990TD的藍色福特安格里亞是電影《哈利·波特和密室》中的道具，停放在英國康沃爾郡圣阿格尼絲地區(qū)的西南攝影棚，外用防水油布遮蓋，于當?shù)貢r間上周三至上周四之間失蹤。
“即使那些沒看過《哈利·波特》電影的人，也知道這輛車非常有名。”德文郡和康沃爾郡的警方發(fā)言人稱。
由于這輛車無法發(fā)動，因此警方推斷車可能被盜賊用房車秘密拖走，或更有可能“被拖車拖走或直接用起重機吊走。”
“這輛車已受損，無法正常駕駛，不可能被開走。”這位發(fā)言人說。
“小偷也許不知道這輛車和《哈利·波特》有關(guān)，僅僅覺得是輛好車；也有可能是哈利·波特迷作案。”
這輛馬力十足的福特安格里亞車幫助哈利·波特和他的伙伴榮恩·韋斯利度過了很多難關(guān)，盡管有一次撞在了一顆樹上。
榮恩的爸爸是個喜歡鼓搗“麻瓜”玩意兒（巫師們把不會魔法的平凡大眾稱為“麻瓜”）的巫師，這輛福特安格里亞“飛天車”就是他改造而成，曾將哈利·波特和榮恩從森林中的大蜘蛛群中拯救出來。
