This was inspired by the wonderful mobile mechanism playing the main Harry Potter theme tune sold by Lalylala. She was selling it to put in a spider pattern but I knew I wanted to use it in a Harry Potter themed crochet item. So the starting point was simply thinking about which HP items would be big enough to put the mechanism in.

This was only the second thing I’ve ever tried to make without a pattern and was way above my design capabilities. I also finished it in a rush to give to a new born and am still kicking myself for positioning the top half of the car wrong when sewing it onto the bottom. But hey ho, I’m still ridiculously proud of how it turned out.
