Last October we told you that the Ford Anglia used in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets had been stolen
from the South West Film Studios in St. Agnes. The car, which has no engine, has now turned up on the grounds of Carn Brea Castle in Cornwall.
According to police, they received a tip and thought that it was all a joke. PC Tim Roberts commented:
It seems we have now located the Harry Potter car. We received an anonymous call from someone telling us its location, and it was found in the early evening in an empty car park at Carn Brea Castle.
It seems to be in good order. I would guess whoever left it there did so with their tongue firmly in their cheek. The car had been there less than 24 hours and has now been towed away to a vehicle compound.
No arrests have been made, and the car will probably go back to the insurance company.

I still can't fathom why one would steal this car that has no motor, and is recognizable. And now what was it doing on the castle grounds? This is just getting even weirder.....

Honestly, I really think George and Fred took it. You know, just for a little joy ride :) I'm sure Molly's given them a stern talking-to by now...
