		Our first target in our Apparating lessons will be just behind our building." She walks over to the window, draws back the curtain, and points across the courtyard.
		Apparating is one of the most essential skills to a junior (or senior) wizard.
		The opening section is all right, dealing with the idea of Apparating and how it can be applied to the everyday life of a wizard.

		This spell does not appear to extend to house-elves, however, as both Dobby and Kreacher are able to apparate around the school unhindered.
		At one point they apparate into the darkened room where Ron and Harry are sleeping, accidentally sitting painfully on Ron's knee rather than on the edge of his bed.
		In the books, the words "Apparate" and "Disapparate," like many other neologisms used by Rowling, are capitalized, whereas established English words such as "jinx" and "hex" are not.

	Apparating - TheBestLinks.com - Harry Potter, TheBestLinks.com:Spoiler warning, Muggle, Ron Weasley, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Apparating is the most advanced means of magical travel in the fictional Harry Potter series.
		Both apparating and disapparating are typically accompanied by a distinctive cracking sound, possibly caused by the abrupt motion of air due to the sudden presence or absence of a body.
		Apparating is tricky and an improper attempt can cause severe bodily damage, hopefully reversible by the Ministry of Magic's Accidental Magic Reversal Squad.

	MuggleNet \| Space, Time, and Magic in the Harry Potter Universe - An editorial by Michael Silberstein .
		So apparating involves motion through some kind of space because apparaters feel as though they are in motion and when they reappear, they are often described as “windswept,” “disheveled,” and “prone” on the ground.
		One possibility is that apparating is not so much teleportation (i.e., instantly getting from point A to point B without having traversed any intervening space), but rather it is travel by “wormholes” or their magical equivalent.
		Apparating and the Floo Travel Network might be physically and logically possible, but it is unclear how to explain Floo powder communication except by purely supernatural means [5].

	Knight Bus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It bolts through the streets, entirely invisible to Muggles and causing other objects to dodge it instead of the other way round, to cover short distances.
		The interior of the bus changes or is changed depending on the time of day, with chairs by day and beds by night.
		While the bus is lightning-fast by Muggle standards, still faster are near-instananeous Floo powder and Apparating.

	Overanalyzing the Text: HPfGU#39466: Apparate or Die Trying
		During those precious seconds, a wizard cannot do a simgle blessed thing, and he's fully in the aim of his enemy, so apparating cannot be used for a quick escape, or you would be blasted into smitherins when you started to fade (and became a sitting duck).
		Really, it seems to me that there are perfectly reasonable explanations for wizards failing to consider apparating as an option in all of the examples that Cindy originally cited.
		Apparating does not help you if you are ambushed or otherwise taken by surprise because, um, well, isn't that the whole point of being taken by surprise?

	Overanalyzing the Text: HPfGU#39816: Apparate or Die Trying
		The message that these ordinary wizards can apparate together with the fact that wizards take their apparation test at the age of 17, suggests to me that Apparation is a readily acquirable skill (similar to our driving test which British muggles can also take from the age of 17).
		And as for Percy showing off by apparating up and down the stairs, I had always imagined that this was "showing off" not because it is really all that difficult a skill for normal adult wizards who have been doing it for years, but because Percy is only seventeen.
		Perhaps JKR invented "splinching" and other apparation mistakes (Charlie landing 5 miles from his destination during his test) to explain why apparation is not the only mode of transport - so that broomsticks, the Knight Bus and Ministry cars could be convincingly used.

		I used to do a lot of model painting, back in the days when I was doing a good deal of role playing.
		The night sky would be open above them, and there is a tear in the sky, a rent in the fabric of space time through which the Great Old One is flowing.
		I had some quite intricate ideas about how to represent the apparating deity, with multiple marbles and iridescent spheres of differing sizes.

	Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Book Blooper : Appearating Twice
		I think the reason JKR uses Apparate and Disapparate interchangebly is because in the apparating process, both events occur.
		The person disapparates AND THEN apparates, so since they are part of the same process you can interchange precise events.
		Apparating is to immigrating as disapparating is to emigrating.

	Chapter 24
		Harry had proved he could Apparate without splinching himself so the blond youth was only worried about how ill it would make his lover feel.
		Their little experiments had proved that the Gryffindor was very sensitive to the mode of transport, but it was like everything else in their world now: Harry could deal with it if he needed to.
		The pair had practised Apparating together all the previous afternoon in the room of requirement so they had the spell down to a fine art.

	Discussion: Who feels like Side-Along Apparition was invented strictly for HBP?
		Apparating alone seems dangerous to the unskilled witch or wizard.
		All those times in the past that they told him he could not apparate because he is too young and all of a sudden he everyone is told to do it by ministry pamphlets if they get into trouble and Harry does it with Dumbledore.
		Perhaps apparation can be traced/detected and seeing as though the headquarters is supposed to be a secret I doubt they would use a method of travel that the Ministry can detect.

	Checkmated
		Apparating directly to someone’s flat, even a best friend’s flat, could be awkward.
		Besides, since leaving Hogwarts they had fallen into the habit of sharing a weekend morning coffee together before going out and reveling in each other’s stories of the week, from the inevitable faux pas at work, to dates that were hit or mostly miss, and the latest gossip on all their longtime buddies.
		So, Harry rationalized, he really had no warning that this Saturday would be any different from all the others when he apparated into Hermione’s kitchen at 9:12 am.

		Since the plant had no flowers or fruits they could not be sure is was a gentian, and if it was, it was a very unique-looking one.
		They continued on the road and about the time they were ready to give up due to rain and impending darkness, a flowering tree of this plant suddenly appeared, or 'apparated'.
		Apparating is used in the Harry Potter books by J. Rowling for the sudden appearance and transfer of a person or object from one place to another.

	MILE HIGH COMICS presents THE BEAT at COMICON.com: You can't apparate within the grounds of Hogwarts...or DC Comics
		For those who aren't Harry Potter scholars, to apparate is to magically teleport.
		The context of its use at the RRP was the belief that new comics readers have suddenly apparated into the market.
		Those kids are now in their 20s -- in fact I met one of them not too long ago, a hipster kid with a handlebar moustache playing an accordion and making his own comics now.

		The fact of the matter was that George, for some inexplicable reason, found apparating incredibly erotic.
		This was a problem when they went home to the Burrow for the occasional Sunday dinner, but at least then they could head straight for their old bedroom on the pretense of "washing up" after a day in the shop.
		There had to be a way to cope with it short of George wanking off in the bathroom, and they both knew from experience that wanking in the bathroom wouldn't really help.

		Most wizarding dwellings are magically protected against unwanted Apparators, according to Albus Dumbledore, who confirmed that "you can't Apparate anywhere inside the buildings or grounds" of Hogwarts (HBP4).
		Apparating directly into a wizarding house is just as rude as kicking down the front door, even if most wizarding dwellings were not magically protected from unwanted Apparators (HBP4).
		A form of Apparition in which the Apparator touches someone else, such as a child too young to Apparate, and Apparates with that person as a "passenger".

		As apparating is related to all books, it should have been in the Books section under the General forum.
		well to apparate you need to be able to think in your head where you want to go and picture yourself there you need imagination and alot of skill.
		Apparating must be more difficult than imagining where you want to be, otherwise people would learn it instantly.

	Tonks, Just Tonks - Part III
		While she wasn't too happy with Tonks at the moment because of the problems she'd caused with her accidental trip to Cleveland, how it had happened in the first place was a fascinating puzzle.
		Blindly apparating that kind of distance to a place you'd never been without getting splinched was unusual.
		There were tantalizing clues in the records of the Department of Magical Transport hinting at unintended side effects when apparating in the presence of certain things but no solid answers.

		If there was any distance to be covered the second youngest Weasley insisted that they Apparate and Harry was beginning to come to the conclusion that they were more annoying than the twins had been when they had first learned.
		Dumbledore had sent the dark haired youth the form to apply for his Apparating Licence on the 31st of July already filled in; all he had had to do was sign it.

		Variations in description of apparations, could just be that, as opposed to variations in the actual phenomonom.
		Or the difference (if there is one) from person to person may be a matter of personality (ie like different styles of hand writing), or a result of ability or even caused by physical attributes (ie someone bigger might make more noise, because there is a greater displacement of air/mass).
		Yay for apparation sounds...i think i would make a 'splash' sound...no for real i think that the power of the person has something to do with it...the better you are the more silent??

		The high brick wall had no windows, and gave them the privacy they needed to avoid a citation from the Ministry of Magic, which was not, in all likelihood, pleased with them to begin with.
		He did trust his godfather, of course; and Hermione had babbled cheerfully about the experience of being Apparated when he had seen her the week before.
		Apparation certainly turned out not to be worth his anxiety; in the blink of an eye, he moved from the gloomy back door of a Muggle shop to a small, cozy house in what seemed to be an isolated area.

		Hermione handed over her wand, resisting the temptation to use it on him as she recognised how outnumbered she was; he took the other two wands as well and returned them to his acolytes.
		The two henchmen had grabbed their incapacitated leader and fled through the door, apparating as soon as they were clear of the laboratory.
		Fortunately, there was no-one in the corridor outside the laboratory so she took the opportunity to apparate from there, rather than from the dark alleyway nearby that she usually used.

		Or maybe it has to do with what leg of the journey it is--going /to/ somewhere is apparating, returning /from/ somewhere is disapparating.
		But then, this doesn't always hold true as, for example, in GOF the Weasleys go to the train station by taxi but return home by "/dis/apparating".
		Well, they are returning home, but they didn't get there by apparating so it is actually the first part of the /magical / journey so they should actually be apparating.

		The footsteps drew nearer, and he could feel them thumping through the house oppressively; the air itself was oppressive and thick, and he suddenly felt little use for the ensuing confrontation.

		Clearly, if Ministry employees constantly apparate to and from the Ministry, there are no anti-apparation wards on at least the Atrium.
		Sure he went to the Atrium to kill Harry, but there was no problem Apparating out of there so he had no risk of being trapped.
		Ok, while I'll admit that your evidence is compelling and points to the fact that wizards can't apparate into areas of the Ministry other than the Atrium, I still think that the Death Eaters apparated into the Department of Mysteries.
