  Floo Powder: CJV Translation
Floo Powder is a magical powder used to access the Floo Network, a human transportation network connecting fireplaces throughout the wizarding world.
Floo powder just needs to be thrown into the flames followed by the speaking of the destination name, and the person throwing the powder will be transported to the fireplace of his choice.
While this misses some of the nuances of the English, the function of Floo Powder becomes readily apparent during the story.

 What is the Floo Network?
The Floo Network is a magical method of transportation in the Harry Potter novels, and can be used by witches and wizards at all levels of ability, because it does not require an act of magic from the traveler to work.
Floo powder turns the fire green, and appears to prevent it from burning the witch or wizard using it, as well.
The Floo Network is also not without its flaws; if a wizard fails to clearly state the end destination, he or she will end up somewhere else entirely, and potentially in a dangerous situation.

 HPL: Floo Network
Using the Floo Network is much simpler than Apparition; it can be done by an underage witch or wizard who hasn't even started school yet (CS4), whereas Apparition requires a few months of tutoring and supervised practice for most witches and wizards to be able to perform it (HBP17).
However, while using the Floo Network is easier than Apparition, it is also less flexible in terms of where a user can go; it can only take one to a destination that is connected to the Floo Network.
It is important to state the name of the intended destination very clearly so as to avoid being connected to the wrong location, and it is also important to keep one's elbows tucked in.
