MUMBAI: One Direction singer Liam Payne says he paid a six-figure sum to buy a flying car that featured in ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’.

The 22-year-old is a ‘Harry Potter’ fan, having celebrated his last birthday with a Hogwarts-themed bash, and has revealed the lengths his obsession has stretched to, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Payne, who is the proud owner of the battered Ford Anglia 105E used in the 2002 film, said on a radio show, "I bought the Harry Potter car and I put it in my garden. You know the blue car, the flying car? I bought one because I'm a bit of a geek."

Payne also revealed he is a fully fledged member of Potter's famous school house, Gryffindor, after taking an online exam.

“I did the test on the website. My friend got Hufflepuff and I got Gryffindor. He was so annoyed,” the ‘Perfect’ singer added.
