1. Ford Anglia Marker
In total, 17½ Ford Anglias were created for 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' (including one that was cut in half for filming). The picture-perfect car used for close-up scenes became known as 'Hero,' while the Whomping Willow-pummeled stunt version earned the name 'Rambo' from the crew. The Special Effects Department also created a remote-controlled car rigged with automatic doors, slide-out seats, and a trunk that launched luggage onto the ground.
'Harry's mouth fell open as the full impact of what he was seeing hit him. Ron was leaning out of the back of the window of an old turquoise car, which was parked in mid-air.'
- J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
