It is important to know that Apparition has not existed forever. The earliest form of Apparition is obviously done by a phoenix. Phoenixes travel instantly from one place to another in a bright flash of light. They can also carry messages like that and it was important that we learnt as much as we could from these amazing creatures. Unfortunately, there is no witch or wizard who has yet been able to talk to phoenixes since The Great Merlin himself.

It is also important that we learn from the mistakes of those who have experimented with apparition in the past. We have looked at the diaries of both Iymagee Nyus and Fuliesch Eejit to bring to you the best rules, instructions and advisory notes on apparition.

Apparition is a serious subject that should never be taken lightly. As you can see, it has not been around for as long as flying, therefore, we must continue experimenting and teaching you our best.

The History of Apparition




A Time Line of Apparition

1966-
Anna Maltianier, a hippogriff trainer, is late for a hippogriff show, and in her frustration to find the bowl of floo powder, concentrates on being determined to get to the contest and apparates by mistake.

1976-
The Minister for Magic, Christoph Maranta, signs papers allowing a team of MoM officials to investigate apparition and look into it for use by the common people. This investigation is titled the ASLI- Apparition Safety and Law Investigation.

1986-
After a terrible flooing accident that killed over 720 muggles in Greenland, the ASLI presents their findings to the Minister for Magic. In 1987, Minister Quincy Loverton approves the apparition plan for the common people. Apparition is now legal around the world.

1996-
Researchers begin teaching witches and wizards across the world how to apparite correctly and safely. The apparition legal age is set at the age of 17. Apparition begins to flourish around the world.

2006- Apparition is one of the most popular forms of transportation in the entire wizarding world!




The Switch to Apparition

Apparition was new to witches and wizards. The thought of being able to travel in seconds without getting covered in soot was amazing.

The year of 1996 was a year of change. It was called the Year of Difference. All around the world, local wizarding community centers held apparition classes for the common people.

Many people had trouble learning how to apparate. The MoM had to learn how to take care of splinching problems and such.

Apparition changed lives. Not only did it help open up a whole new door of transportation, but it opened our eyes to see the way we can learn. It taught us to always be looking, always be wanting, to find out new ways to make life easier and improve the quality of life.




Controlling Apparition

1996 was when the battle against improper use of apparition began.

Young teens who wanted to apparate got into trouble with the law, and splinching.

The Ministry of Magic was overflowing with the need to control underage apparition.

Common witches and wizards were also unaware of the dangers of apparition. They lazily apparited, not following the rules or worrying about danger.

So rules were set out, and guidelines were made to be followed. This helped control the world’s apparition better.




Apparition keeps the world moving. It’s used everywhere, by everyone. It unites us.

An Introduction to Apparition...

Apparition is the term used for the process of transporting oneself from any given point to another instantaneously. The process is, in itself, easy, yet to pass the test it is necessary to have the right frame of mind, and to know the history of apparition for the theory test.

This leaflet aims to answer all your questions on the history of apparition, and will help you pass your apparition test like a pro.




The Timeline

Apparition has a long and complex history. Here, we've condensed it down to one page for your easy reference and enjoyment.

Circa500AD - Merlin demonstrates the beginnings of apparition.
900AD - Flying broomsticks invented and brought into use
1450AD - Apparition begins to reach wider audiences. Controls are brought in to prevent splinching
1800AD - The MoM decided it would be a good idea to have an apparition test.
1875AD - The biggest overhaul to the system since it began. The previously basic tests were revamped to the ones we know today.
2006AD - This leaflet was produced to help with the learning process.



The Man Behind the Magic

Merlin may have been the one to first start using apparition, but it was this man, Melvyn Lindor who brought apparition to the mainstream. He was the man who made it possible for everyone to have the ability to apparate safely, without the fear of being splinched.

It was in 1792 that Lindor first brought the idea of an apparition test to the Wizengamot, where they refused his request. But he continued with his plight for eight long years – in which time there were two hundred apparition related deaths occurring every year. He fought for the rights of the wizarding community – that they should be given the chance to learn how to apparate properly, and in 1800 he prevailed.

The Wizengamot passed a law that every witch and wizard over the age of seventeen must have a licence if they wished to apparate. And thus began the history of apparition testing in England’s magical community.

Page 2: Rules of Apparition

Apparating is NOT an art to be trifled with. It is a serious subject and has seen several casualties throughout the years. The main thing to remember is the 3 D’s;

Determination, Destination and Deliberation

Facts of Apparation

1. Since 1939 there have been 298321 splinch casualties, the worst was when Gladys Arcondale splinched her own head which fell straight into the mouth of a crow.
2. Between 1860 – 1900 there were over 100 deaths, (though these were mainly animals being experimenting on) due to young apparition
3. Since 1939, there have been only 9 deaths through apparating.

APPARITION! The Ultimate transportation!

TIMELINE

1780 a.c - First time someone considers the option of vanishing from one place and appear in another
1866 - Joan Frankest discovers the way to do that
1871 - the ministery agrees with testing that form of trasportation
1872 - Doria Estander actually succeds in apparating
1874 - Harry Hothlit sugests the name Apparition
1892 - The ministery agrees with using Apparition in normal day actions
1898 - Kiran Dorkist, age 11, dies because of a very bad splinch and the ministery decides to only allow people over 17 years old to apparate

Page 2

All things are dangerous, but Apparition is one of the most dangerous ways of transportation there is. The risc of splinching, when not focused enough, is very high. to ensurance safety, everyone must take apparition classes and take the tests, so nothing can go wrong. The three steps must be very carefully applied.

Determination, Destination and Deliberation

1. You have to be completely focused on the place you want to apparate to.
2. You'll have to make sure you don't leave any members "behind"
3. STAY FOCUSED!
