Apparation

Apparartion is a magical method of transportation and is basically the magical action of traveling by having the user focus on a desired location in their mind, then disappear from their currrent location and instantly reappear at the desired location. It is by far the fastest way to get to one's desired destination, but is tricky to do correctly and disastrous if botched up.

Apparartion is a very popular method of transportation in the wizarding world, though brooms, Floo Powder, or Portkeys may be preferred as the feeling of Apparation can be unpleasent to some. Albus Dumbldore noted in The Half-Blood Prince that most people vomit the first time the Apparate, and according to Harry Potter Apparation feels like being "forced through a very tight rubber tube."
