Apparition

Apparition, or Apparating, is the magic of vanishing from one place and appearing almost instantly in another. Wizards must pass an Apparition test, compared to a Muggle driving test, and there are many examples of failed attempts; a bad one can cause splinching, in which part of the wizard is left behind. Spells can also block it, such as the Anti-Disapparition Jinx Dumbledore uses to stop Death Eaters from escaping.
