There’s a new sort of music about at the moment known as Dubstep. It looks as though it’s going to be very successful too. No critic can find any flaws with it and there’s a simple reason for this; there’s nothing to criticise.

There are no words to fault, little rhythm to attack and virtually no instruments either. All it consists of is a beat and the odd dash of synthesiser.

You could make a track by banging your head against a computer and seeing what noises come out; in fact I think N-Dubz does. I don’t dislike it, no-one on earth could. It lacks the love/hate factor of Marmite or punk rock. It’s more like water. Nobody hates water.

And it’s the same story for the Ford Anglia from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I excitedly chose this car because it’s topical. The new HP film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, below, comes out today, and so the car must be interesting. Right?

Wrong.

This car is no more interesting than paint. Sure you can have it in lots of colours, but that’s about it. This isn’t a bad car, but it is by no means a good one. And that’s a problem. When composing Car’s The Star I want a car I can rip to shreds or praise to the skies. But the Anglia is neither.

It isn’t powerful, using only 36bhp. That’s about the same as one of those toy robot dogs. With four seats it isn’t luxurious. And with 34.3mpg it isn’t an eco warrior or a gas guzzler. You could say it’s cheap as it’ll cost you only £2,900. All this may be interesting to potential buyers but it won’t knock the socks off movie-goers.

Really, I don’t understand why the film makers kept it. By now the films bear about as much resemblance to the books as an elephant to Kate Moss. So while they were making changes left, right and centre why didn’t they swap the Anglia for something more... exciting?

They could have had Ron and Harry chasing the Hogwarts Express in a Bugatti Veyron. Or a Ford GT if they wanted to keep Mr Ford happy. They could even have made it British like the books. An Aston Martin Vanquish would have gone down a treat. Maybe it could have drag-raced the train to school.

Overall then, I have little to say about the Ford Anglia. Sorry. It fails to enchant.

In fact I can find absolutely nothing interesting to say about it, other than it is precisely 154in long...

Oh, and it flies...does that count?
