Enchanted Flying Ford Anglia

"With a BrickScore of 70, the Flying Ford Anglia is a fun, mechanism-driven Harry Potter build that Harry Potter collectors will enjoy — but be ready for disappointing minifigures and a blue bodywork color inconsistency that both reviewers flagged as hard to ignore."

The Enchanted Flying Ford Anglia (76470) lands as a solidly enjoyable but imperfect Harry Potter build. Both reviewers agree the hidden Technic-driven dual-action mechanism — push the rear bumper to open doors and trunk, push the front bumper to eject the trunk lid — is the star of the set, working reliably and delivering genuine interactive fun. The car's proportions and iconic subject matter earn praise, especially for Harry Potter fans and collectors. However, both reviewers flag the same two sticking points: noticeable color variation across the blue bodywork and underwhelming sticker-faced minifigures of Harry and Ron, which one reviewer described as looking like the characters are "sitting on a toilet."

Where they split: Bricksie leaned positive (verdict: 78) and recommends buying now, finding the minifigures grew on them post-build and the price well-justified. Hoth Bricks was more critical (verdict: 62), recommending buyers wait, citing the minifigure design as "unacceptable" and the set falling short of LEGO ICONS vehicle standards. The gap is most stark on minifigures (65 vs. 25) and display value (75 vs. 55).
