Synthesized Verdict

"With a BrickScore of 80.1 and a remarkable 4.87 owner rating across nearly 7,700 reviews, the Flying Ford Anglia is a Highly Recommended entry-level Harry Potter set that delivers the best-ever LEGO version of the Weasley car at an accessible $14.99 price point."

The Flying Ford Anglia (76424) earns a Highly Recommended verdict with a BrickScore of 80.1, and reviewers describe it as the best LEGO version of the iconic Weasley car to date. Brickset praises improved wheel arches, a more accurate bright light blue color, and an updated bonnet design that corrects issues from the 2020 edition. Bricksie highlights a clever hidden Technic mechanism that opens the doors and pops the trunk from a single rear-bumper trigger. Owner enthusiasm is exceptional: 7,659 ratings across Amazon, Walmart, Target, and LEGO.com average 4.87 out of 5, one of the higher owner scores in the Harry Potter lineup.

What reviewers are saying

"76424 Flying Ford Anglia is the latest example and the first to be produced on its own, rather than forming part of a bigger set, as before. I am surprised it has taken so long because this seems like an enjoyable set."

Brickset Reviews

"Not sure how I feel about it, but I do like the scale of the Weasley's flying car. I've always said they should create some sort of Lego set like this, maybe a little bit larger to match that Lego Creator Expert vehicle …"

Ecosystem

75968 4 Privet Drive — The length of 12cm is identical and much of the body remains unchanged, but the colour has evidently been updated... Moreover, the wheel arches are steeper and closer to the onscreen vehicle, while the bonnet has reverted to using the 4x4 roof element earlier seen on the Ford Anglia in 75953 Hogwarts Whomping Willow. As a result, the shape towards the front looks great

75953 Hogwarts Whomping Willow — the bonnet has reverted to using the 4x4 roof element earlier seen on the Ford Anglia in 75953 Hogwarts Whomping Willow. As a result, the shape towards the front looks great

4841 Hogwarts Express — I think LEGO renditions of the famous Flying Ford Anglia have always been quite successful, especially since 4841 Hogwarts Express was released in 2010. That design introduced many features enduring today, so subsequent models have consistently made only marginal, though beneficial, improvements.

74423 Hogwarts Express & Hogsmeade Station — I think the Flying Ford Anglia is a delightful set and a nice companion for 74423 Hogwarts Express & Hogsmeade Station, released last year

Standout parts (per reviewers)

1x2 slope without grille
new piece variant, almost identical in shape to the existing 1x2 grille slope, albeit lacking the grille, so it should prove more versatile. The shape of the Ford Anglia is certainly much improved, thanks to the new slope.
printed white stripes on doorsValue
White stripes run along either side of the car, including printed sections on both doors. Sadly, there is a small difference in the shade between the white plates and the printed stripes
4x4 roof element
bonnet has reverted to using the 4x4 roof element earlier seen on the Ford Anglia in 75953 Hogwarts Whomping Willow
trans-orange and trans-red lights
The trans-orange and trans-red lights on the back look nice as well, flanking the opening boot
Technic lift arms mechanism
Powers dual-function opening doors and trunk pop-out feature; hidden within build structure.
Flex tubing headlights
Connected to headlight brick at rear; adds detail to front of vehicle.
