Liam Payne, One Direction member and presumed landscaping enthusiast, revealed on Nick Grimshaw’s Radio 1 show earlier today that he recently purchased one of the cars used to play Arthur Weasley’s car from the Harry Potter series, and that he now keeps said car in his garden. “You know, the blue car, the flying one?†Payne said on air. “I bought one because I’m a bit of a geek.â€

Because he is a soupçon of a dweeb, Payne also once traveled to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, where he posted this delightful pair of Instagrams:
