The Floo Network

The Floo Network is a mode of transportation in the wizarding world in which a wizard/witch goes from one place to another by means of Floo Powder and a fireplace. Many fireplaces are connected to the Floo Network, and the traveller need only speak the desired fireplace they wish to arrive at very clearly as they stand in the emerald green flames.

The network governed by the Floo Network Authority, a section of the Department of Magical Transportation of the Ministry of Magic. The department is located on Level Six of the Ministry. The Floo Network Authority controls which fireplaces are connected to the Floo Network, which requires specialized magic, and can be preferable for wizards that are too young to Apparate or those without access to other forms of transportation, such as broomsticks.

When travelling by Floo, a witch or wizard must clearly pronounce the location they want to go, or they may be misdirected in the wrong place.
