Press release:

This Sunday, March 6, 2011, the Admiral's 3:40 matinee of Harry Potter boasts a special guest; a one of a kind, custom made Mini Cooper Convertible, decked out in Harry Potter style! The sports-car will be available for sale at the theater.

Imagine this July when the last installment of the Harry Potter Series comes out, you can have the top down and driving to the movie theater in style! You will totally be the envy of everyone and you can show off what a HUGE fan you are!

Owner, Alexia Johnson had this 2006 car made especially for her at the Oxford England
factory. "I have been a long time Harry Potter fan and I wanted my British car to reflect my favorite British story. I went to the Mini dealership in 2005 and choose everything that I wanted to have on my car. It has a supercharged engine and it is manual".

She goes on to say, "I love the color purple and at that time they came out with a new color "purple haze. That color is now discontinued but that makes my car even more special and unique. I was given the name of an artist by the dealer and told him what I wanted. He took the clear coat off of the car, painted "HP" on the doors, golden snitch on the gas tank cover, Hogwarts crest (which has a lot of detail) on the hood between the stripes which are hand-painted not decals like they normally are. Finally, he put a metallic coat on the car and under street lights and in the sun light it sparkles like magic!

Johnson says the car will be sold AS IS. It has 52,000 miles on it and is in great shape. Including the paint work, she bought the car for $36,000. She is willing to take $20,000 or best offer.

Johnson has collected Harry Potter memorabilia throughout the years and will be giving out some great prizes to the best costumed attendees. The doors open at 3PM and the show begins at 3:40.
