Sep 21, 2013Never been so mesmerized with sports drama movie. I can say this is the best I've ever seen. Im on the edge of my seat hoping that this rivalry romance story between the two rivals never end. Chris Hemsworth & Daniel Brühl played the character so perfect and well balanced, they complement each other. Oscar worthy!

Oct 10, 2013What a great movie, shows how Formula One was (is), it's good from beginning to end. Not sure if this is a date movie, but if you like racing, it's great. Ron Howard is the best.

Sep 25, 2013Not really a big fan of f1 but i really enjoyed this movie! The characters opposed each other perfectly and really suck you into the plot which is well written and very enjoyable. Really made me see f1 in a whole different light, i would definitely recommend this to anyone!
Oct 5, 2013Simply, one of the best movies ever made!!! I have already watched it 2 times!!!! Pure entertainment, pure rush!!! Watch it!! Go see it!!! It's absolutely wonderful!!!

Jan 5, 2014Ron Howard's best film in years, Rush is also one of the best film of 2013. Great drama, exciting action scenes...it really portrays the risk and toll of this sport on its 'heroes', the cool playboy Hunt and the calculating genius Lauda. Highly recommended.
Dec 28, 2013Ron Howard does an excellent job at showing the rivalry between the two men and their personal lives. Rush has brilliant cinematography that brings the races to life and keeps you on the edge. Its pure entertainment.

Mar 8, 2014Before watching the film, I thought this was going to just be a silly car racing movie, with no real point whatsoever. After watching, I realized I was completely dead wrong. This movie is exciting, well-directed, well-acted and it is fantastic. Director Ron Howard does the tension incredibly well in this movie. Definitely a recommendation.
Jan 12, 2014its quite please to watch and definitely oscar material.One of few movies that managed high standards and fan friendlyness.full with emotions and thrill and no over ating at any point at all.
Nov 25, 2013I enjoyed this. I didn't know anything about either of these drivers and not that much of Forumula 1. The story and acting were good. I later read about a few story inconsistencies that I felt didn't need to be modified, but still an enjoyable movie and held pretty true to the facts overall. Some of the racing sequences could have been filmed better. Good solid popcorn movie though.

Jan 15, 2014Just watched this and was blown away by an amazing story of rivalry and respect between James Hunt and Nicki Lauder in the year of 1976 with a great soundtrack to power things along. Hemsworth and Bruhl give amazing performances and yet again Ron Howard has produced another hit film for all to enjoy.
Mar 14, 2014Being an avid Formula 1 fan, I could not wait to see this - and it was worth the wait, Beautiful cinematography, multi dimensional characters that you care about and the trueness to the real story line make this a must see, F1 enthusiast or not.
Sep 20, 2013I'm not a Formula 1 fan, but this movie was really appealing to me. The development of characters and plot are so well constructed that it is impossible no to enjoy this movie as a master piece.
Sep 20, 2013"Rush" is an awe-inspiring story filled with nail-biting, fast-paced racing scenes and it's right up there with some of Ron Howard's best films. While you might go into "Rush" thinking it's going to be Hemsworth's show, it's Daniel Brühl's unforgettable performance as his rival that has the most impact
Sep 20, 2013What an amazing movie about to legends of the track Niki Lauda is a machine unbelievable driver and technician and James Hunt just pure raw talent Chris Hemsworth & Daniel Brühl do them both justice such a enjoyable movie well filmed really intense action just one of them all round completely brilliant films a must see.
Sep 23, 2013
Sep 21, 2013You don't have to be a fan of formula 1 racing, if you like great acting with a great script and tremendous back-and-forth rivalry, then you'll love this movie. Overall, it's an interesting rivalry. Be sure to check out my YouTube channel, "TheMovieManLife" for all things movies.
Sep 25, 2013
Sep 23, 2013Wow.now this shows how formula 1 has become a n ultimate competition.truly inspiring.awesome movie.Chris hems worth has shown his career best performance
Nov 6, 2013
Sep 21, 2013Firstly, all the race scenes including spectators were just ripped-off from the original race clips!!! Secondly, did Lauda used the "F" word often. Hemsworth and Burl did their job well. Overall the movie was nothing original!!!

Oct 9, 2013I really wanted to like this film but ultimately found it a bit disappointing. The characterisations were simplistic, the race action scenes were boring close focus quick cut blurs certainly not 'one of the greatest movies about motor racing'. Watchable, but a documentary is more interesting than this superficial biopic.

Feb 3, 2014几乎是一部完美的电影,可以说是挑不出任何的缺点,从影片的基调,剧情故事,演员表演,剪辑,配乐等等无一例外都是好莱坞的最强水准,特别是Hans Zimmer激赞的配乐百听不厌,几场比赛更是爽快至极,两位主演带来了他们最好的演技。
Jan 4, 2015Really great show. The races feel completely exhilarating. The characters themselves could have needed more depth, but all things considered they did a good job bringing together the personal and the show. One thing is true: these guys were crazy.
Feb 1, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Mar 21, 2015Telling the story of the classic rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauder Rush is further prove that real life can be just as intriguing and exciting as any story the movie industry can devise. Anchored by excellent performances from Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl Rush is a must watch for fans of Formula One.
Mar 3, 2014Very interesting! Very well directed! Emotional, I highly recommend watching this movie! It was over 2 hours! But I wasn't bored with it! It kept me on the edge of my seat till the very end!

Jan 22, 2014
Sep 2, 2014Another brilliant contender of the year! It's incredible how Ron Howard can take a subject not necessarily fascinating to all and make it all the more interesting. All of this backed by two great lead performances.
Jan 5, 2014Rush is exciting with some fascinating characters that you actually care about. It is a solid movie that is just a tad long. Ron Howard directs with ease and lets the story tell itself.

Oct 3, 2013
Oct 6, 2013With a crackling script from Peter Morgan, a stylishly invigorating directorial turn from Ron Howard, and two superb performances from Hemsworth and Bruhl, "Rush" easily proves its worth as probably the most notable nonfiction sports chronicle this side of "The Fighter."
Jan 7, 2014
Jul 18, 2014Brilliant movie, Brilliantly directed and brilliantly acted. Ron Howard once again proves he is one of the worlds best Directors. I can not say enough good things about this movie
Jan 13, 2014
Nov 11, 2013
Dec 28, 2013This is what a respectful rivalry looks like. Ron Howard does a fabulous job of depicting this two totally different men on and off the track. The on track scenes are very well done looking very realistic no sugar coating the dangers. A
Jan 19, 2014I wasn't expecting the intensity and gripping action that I received during this movie. Not a fan of Formula 1 at all, but this movie delivers even to the people who don't care about it. After a rough start, the movie turns into a non stop thrill ride that makes up for everything that may have gone wrong
Dec 28, 2013
Dec 9, 2014Amazing movie, not only for motorsport enthusiast. All falls really well together, great script, great direction, great VFX, great actors, great score = great movie.
Daniel Bruhl is super convincing as Niki Lauda, as well as Chris Hemsworth as James Hunt,
Must see for every motorsport fan, but not limited to only them -
May 25, 2014
Sep 29, 2013The movie fully captures the drama they both lived in their f1 days.
It also capture their personal lives.
The movie has halarious one liners between the Lauda and hunt. It also had great visual effects and the sound of the cars are just amazing -
Nov 14, 2013The best scenario is to try to explore it, what was the rivalry between the two drivers. Hunt and Lauda represent two extreme attitudes towards life: but impossible to reconcile, is generating similar results. I really like a good movie for me. As a kid, I watched them on the screen as competing but I had no idea what it looks like from the inside.
Dec 31, 2013Rush is a very stylish and slick sports drama that features very strong performances from Daniel Brühl and Chris Hemsworth along with realistic high-octane race sequences.
Dec 5, 2013What a great movie that shows one of the best rivalries ever in sports history .Great choice of actors that are really close to the real Hunt and Lauda, especially Daniel Bruhl. A lot of suspence and rush, one of the best movie this year, and the best sports movie ever.
Dec 15, 2013
Dec 20, 2013welle i can't tell you that the next i'll see a formula one race on tv i won't probably change the chanel what a great a movie it was beyond what i expected and i'm so glad that i wathed it today great story very inspiring the directing was great and i don't need to talk about the acting specialy Daniel bruhl he was breath taking RUSH officially is in my top 10 movies of 2013.
Dec 28, 2013Rush is one of Ron Howard's best films, due largely in part to the performances of Hemsworth and Bruhl. That last, rainy race represents one of the year's most exciting action sequences.
Jan 3, 2014İzlediğim en iyi biyografi Filmlerinden biriydi bence, Çok iyi bir mücadele geçirmiş iki yarışçının başından geçmiş olayları süper şekilde anlatmış.
Kesinlikle izleyin.. -
Dec 31, 2013I hate racing, but Rush isn't about racing by itself, it's about an intense rivalry. Even the racing is made interesting because of the sound, score, and cinematography.
Rush gets an 8.3/10 -
Feb 3, 2014Owen McKenna Rio Rancho, NM. The film was not at all what I expected. I guess I was expecting something along the lines of Days of Thunder, but in the Formula one form. Being based on a true story, the storyline seemed over the top. Best scene was when they were driving in the countryside, very amusing. Ron Howard told the story in a different way than I had expected it to be told.

Feb 14, 2014The story of a movie is cheap and the screenplay is good and not hard to write but its an biography so it doesn't mater,the movie is done perfect it couldn't be done better,its awesome ,awesome directing.Definitley worth watching,Deserved some nominations for awards but that didnt happen.sorry for bad english if there is some

Aug 16, 2014Rush is absolutely the best Ron Howard movie ever made. Unlike his other movies like Apollo 13 and A Beautiful Mind, there is never a dull moment in Rush.
Apr 18, 2014
Nov 23, 2014Way to go Ron Howard! Rush is likely my favorite movie of 2013. I love the rivalry between the two racers and this is a story that I had no prior knowledge on so I didn't know what to expect in the ending. Both main characters go through some significant development throughout the movie. I would recommend Rush to any sports fan.
Nov 10, 2014Rush is a very stylish and slick sports drama that features very strong performances from Daniel Brühl and Chris Hemsworth along with realistic high-octane race sequences.
Feb 25, 2015
Rush, though it will win no trophies, is fine filmmaking, a smart, visually engorged, frequently thrilling tale of boyish competition — inspired by a true story. At heart it's "Amadeus" on wheels, only this time Salieri is the Austrian.
The result is a solid film, but one that remains more interesting than intense.
Still, it is a writer's privilege to trim and tailor at will, and everybody loves a duel. It would take the dullest of curmudgeons not to enjoy the surge of this saga, accurate or not, and the excesses of what already feels like a distant age. [30 Sept. 2013, p.84]

See all offersDiscover the city's rich history and culture, or shop until you drop on Johannesburg holidays.
Known as the City of Gold, Johannesburg offers a sparkling blend of lush green spaces, fascinating history and excellent shopping and dining. The surrounding World Heritage Site, 'Cradle of Humankind', is thought to be the home of humanity, where many of the world's oldest human fossils were discovered.
Strengthened by the gold rush of the late 19th century, 'Jo'burg' has emerged from the struggles of apartheid as a vibrant metropolis bathed in almost year-round sunshine. Enter the gateway to South Africa on stopovers or longer holidays in Johannesburg and explore some of the deepest mines in the world. Go on an exhilarating safari adventure or indulge in some retail therapy at luxury malls and bustling open-air markets. Sit back with a glass of chilled South African wine and soak up the buzzing atmosphere in bohemian Melville. Then tuck into succulent meat cooked in traditional 'braai' style, or experience lavish dining at a 5 star restaurant.
On longer Johannesburg holidays, the 6-7 hour Panorama Route from the city is well worth the drive. On the Drakensberg escarpment in Mpumalanga, the aptly-named God's Window is a vision of scenic splendour. See the awe-inspiring Blyde River Canyon and the dramatic trio of dolomite domes known as the Three Rondavels. Then journey a further 90 minutes to Kruger National Park, and look out for the 'Big 5' animals on an exhilarating safari adventure in this spectacular game reserve.
Hire a car in Johannesburg and drive the 2-3 hour journey to vibrant Sun City, known as the 'Las Vegas' of South Africa. Enjoy a relaxing round of golf or choose from a variety of other sports. Try your luck at the glittering casinos, take in a show or make a splash at one of the world's greatest water parks, Valley of Waves. Spot the amazing beasts, birds and rare species to be found at the Madikwe or Pilanesberg nature reserves – both malaria-free. The drive from Sun City to Madikwe takes approximately 2 hours, with a 4-hour return journey to Johannesburg.

What makes a book sell to a publisher, and sell-through to readers?
It is NOT how fabulous your website or blog is. It is NOT how many facebook or twitter friends you have, how many publishing links you forward or put on said website, blog, facebook and twitter. It is not how much editors and agents like you, though being a pain in the arse will NOT help you in any way, shape or form.
What sells a book is THE WRITING coupled with an ORIGINAL, COMPELLING CONCEPT!
You have heard that great writing will rise to the top and find its way. Yet we all know that not all great writing sells. There is marketing and sales to contend with, and even in my 3 short years of agenting I have had quite a number of books that editors loved and sales and marketing told them that it would sell, but just not enough....and the books are still not published. Breaks my heart. Breaks the editors' hearts. And oh, the author. So very unfair. BUT, publishing is a business and fair is not the leading part of the equation here.
But couple GREAT WRITING with an ORIGINAL AND COMPELLING CONCEPT and you are 75% there. The rest is luck, timing, bizarre unknown factors that none of us understand but we kill ourselves trying to, and kismet. When HARRY POTTER, TWILIGHT, WIMPY KID, 13 REASONS WHY, etc were brought to acquisitions meetings and given the green light, publishers made an educated guess that these books would sell. They make those educated guesses on other books (and in some cases pay big advances and pump marketing dollars into them) that are equally fantastic but for some mysterious reason never find their audience. I worked in marketing for a couple of decades and this is just how it goes. What made the Pet Rock, Silly Bands, Chia Pets, Fuzzy Wuzzy was a Bear Soap, etc sell? Don't know.
Is it all word of mouth? Is it superior product--maybe yes in books, but in Pet Rocks?
So let's talk about 'superior product in books'. In my opinion, the ORIGINAL, COMPELLING CONCEPT outweighs mediocre writing, but the better writer you are (LEARN YOUR CRAFT!) the stronger CAREER you will have as a writer be it traditional published or self-published.
And to the self-published, $0.99 sales price may get you a heck of a lot of first time readers (if you are so lucky) but if your writing is crap, who the heck is going to buy your second book? Let me quote my friend and 80+book author Kathleen Duey: Almost no one expects musicians to get good on an instrument without years of lessons, books, years of practice. There is a similar learning curve for writing. (read full post here)
So, my advice to writers other than the all important LEARN YOUR CRAFT---
1. Brainstorm concepts and pitches before you commit to a new book.
Even if you love your your new idea....write 10 more to get your creative juices going and see if you can come up with something better and/or improve on your original idea.
Brainstorming without self-criticism is an excellent way to unearth your creativity.
2. If you have a critique group/agent--consider picking the 3 that you most want to work on and share it with them to see if you are on track to writing something truly original and compelling.
3. Find the manuscript voice you want to work with. This is not Author Voice--Author voice is your unique voice that permeates all your work, this is the Manuscript Voice--the tone you want to tell this particular story in.
4. Write 3 chapters in your chosen Manuscript Voice and see if it is working. Share it with your critique partners, and, if you have this kind of relationship, with your Agent. While these first chapters may end up in the dumpster as many first chapters do, it is the tone/ characters/ setting/ concept/ freshness/ uniqueness that must shine through. Sometimes we come up with an amazing concept but we just cannot write an amazing manuscript to do the concept justice. I find this all the time in queries....amazing concepts with pages that are not compelling. If you cannot write to the chosen concept, pick another one. You have a list of 10+. Or brainstorm again.
5. Be absolutely mindful of every character you choose to put in the book. Why are they there? How do they move the story forward? What is interesting about them that will make a reader care about following them from page to page to page? What would make a reader demand book 2 and 3 because they can't bear to say goodbye to these characters? This is a must even for stand-alones. Don't you love that feeling when you slow down at the end of a book because you just don't want it to end?
6. Plot the heck out of the book. If you are a pantsers (as opposed to an outliner), no problem. Just make sure you go back through one full revision with the plot in the forefront of your mind asking How can I make this book UNPUTDOWNABLE?
I could go on and on but I want to hear from you...what do you think makes a book sell?

Hey, I use the same blog template! (But yours looks much nicer.)
Great post!
I'm a reader, so I stand on the other side of this equation. I write for fun, but I teach reading at the college and graduate levels. asically, my mission is to create readers, and to help in-service educators become reading specialists so they can go out into the world and do the same thing.
I recently blogged about my own motives for buying the last 20 books on my shelf, and I've been asking my students what makes them buy a book for years. Of course, the fact that a book is unputdownable is key. My college students are especially drawn to books that suck them into a new world, so the story has to be believable AND compelling at the same time.
But beyond that, a great cover, and an enthusiastic recommendation from a trusted source seem to be the key elements that lead us to buy books. I can't tell you how many times I've posted a five-star review on Goodreads that led to multiple purchases of that book from my students. (And my undergrad students are struggling readers! How cool is that?!)
On the other hand, I don't know many readers who spend a lot of time following writers they haven't yet read on Twitter, or reading blog posts about the writing craft. They are also extremely turned off by sloppy writing in any of its forms--typos, inconsistencies, confusing subplots. You don't have to be an extremely skilled or experienced reader to detect sloppy writing.
That's what I've learned about why we buy. Thanks for sharing this post. I love your blog!I've been writing for 16 years and this post offers some very sound advice. I've met so many writers who are just starting out who go to all sorts of marketing workshops and spend very little time on craft.
This approach feels backwards to me, but maybe we do that because the mkg. aspect feels more daunting. At any rate, my vote goes to focusing on craft, at least initially.Thanks for the timely and challenging post, Jill! And also a great thought-provoking question. What makes a book sell? A universal theme that tugs at everyone's heart (finding a friend) and has a fresh, unique twist (finding a friend who is also a good writer and just happens to be a gray spider named Charlotte).
ReplyDeleteJill: Thanks for tagging my post in your yours. It's TRUE. I am hearing the same thing from every editor and agent I know. They are all inundated with similar, tired-trope storylines. It's time to dig deeper, see farther, reach higher--which is always good for any writer, even when it hurts. Hope to see you somewhere soon!
ReplyDeleteConcept makes me pick a book up; writing makes me keep reading. The first infelicity of phrasing or unbelievable premise, and I'm done. There are enough well-written books in the world that I don't have to waste my time on the amateurish ones--and that includes more than a few published works. Too many adverbs in a first paragraph and I'm done. The word "wry"--in adverbial form or not--makes me want to scratch my eyes out. I can usually tell you--especially with stuff that ends up on Miss Snark Victim's or similar sites--the exact word where I stop reading. In a way, I feel horrible about it. I know the kind of mental work it takes to just sit down every day and crank out your words, good or bad. But I've seen so many people just make the same mistakes over and over again on places like Absolute Write. Interestingly, they can usually point out these problems in other people's work but can't see them in their own. So if you're not going to bother to learn, I'm not going to bother to read.
ReplyDeleteThis certainly makes sense to me. What I think works even better is if you take a compelling concept (doesn't even have to be original) combined with a great cover, and an enthusiastic recommendation from a trusted source (just as Lori Oster mentions). I think a concept that's totally original might scare off potential buyers if they're the timid sort.
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent post! Since I'm participating in a discussion on another blog site regarding "voice," the third comment was especially helpful, as you distinguished between author voice and manuscript voice. I'd love for you to elaborate on that. Thank you so much.
http://skcquirkyquill.blogspot.com/Thanks for this! I think it's true that a compelling concept will sell. However, I have seen some writers get great deals with a first book that is high-concept, only to flail in getting a second contract because they either couldn't create an equally compelling second concept or because some element of their writing was too weak to carry another idea. So while I think a great concept is important, I think it needs to be accompanied by strong writing abilities for an author to sustain a career.
As for what makes me love a book, it's usually a character who I'm really rooting for, not so much because Everything Is Against her (which feels overdone at times), but because of something unusual in the way she thinks. I want a book that gives me insight into another person's world, and good protagonists do that.
Still, you're talking about books that sell, and focusing on concept is a piece of advice that will stay with me.
Final thought, though: the focus on high-concept books seems to be about a decade new. Do you think it will fade as many trends do, or do you think, in the media-saturated climate, that this is the new normal?Thank you so much for your sweet information.That is so valuable and loving post.

- "Harry felt Dumbledore's arm twist away from him and re-doubled his grip: the next thing he knew everything went black; he was pressed very hard from all directions; he could not breathe, there were iron bands tightening around his chest; his eyeballs were being forced back into his head; his ear-drums were being pushed deeper into his skull."
- —Harry Potter's first experience with Apparition.[src]
Apparition is a magical method of transportation and is basically the magical action of travelling by having the user focus on a desired location in their mind, then disappear from their current location and instantly reappear at the desired location; in short, it is a form of teleportation. It is by far the fastest way to get to one's desired destination, but is tricky to pull off correctly and disastrous if botched up.
Apparition is a very popular method of travel in the wizarding world, though brooms, Floo Powder or portkeys may be preferred as the feeling of Apparition can be unpleasant to some. Albus Dumbledore once noted that most people vomit the first time they successfully Apparate, and according to Harry Potter Apparition feels like being "forced through a very tight rubber tube."[1]
According to Wilkie Twycross, Ministry of Magic official and Apparition Instructor, one has but to recall The Three D's: Destination, Determination and Deliberation. One must be completely determined to reach one's destination, and move without haste, but with deliberation.[1]
Apparition can cause an audible noise ranging from a small faint pop to a loud crack that may sound to Muggles like a car backfiring. House-elves may also Apparate but without some of the restrictions that wizards have. For example, they can Apparate inside of Hogwarts and even the Horcrux cave, where powerful enchantments prevent witches and wizards from doing the same. Also, when they Apparate, the sound is mostly a loud crack.
Apparition is called Disapparition from the point of view of someone at the place being left, and Apparition from the point of view of someone at the destination, much like the words "disappear" and "appear".
Side-Along Apparition
- Harry Potter: "We just Apparated, didn't we sir?"
- Albus Dumbledore: "Yes, and quite successfully too, I might add. Most people vomit the first time."
- — Albus Dumbledore on Apparition.[src]
A variant of Apparition used to transport two or more individuals at once is called Side-Along Apparition. This method may be used by adults seeking to transport underage wizards, or in some cases a licensed individual may use this method to transport an injured party. To perform this version of Apparition, the more able party Apparates with the other party holding onto their arm. This method is recommended by the Ministry of Magic for parents with underage children to escape from danger quickly. House-elves can also do Side-Along Apparition.
Side-Along Apparition can also be forced, as when Death Eater Yaxley grabbed onto Hermione Granger's arm when she, Harry Potter, and Ron Weasley escaped from the Ministry of Magic in 1997. He was transported with her when she Disapparated to 12 Grimmauld Place and she was only able to escape by shaking his grip with a Revulsion Jinx and Disapparating again. Later that year, Fenrir Greyback captured Harry and dragged him along when Disapparating towards the Malfoy Manor, Harry found it impossible to break free of this forced Side-Along Apparition.[2]
It is unknown whether Side-Along Apparition is possible when the "passenger" is without a wand. However, since Hermione was able to Apparate with Harry from Bathilda Bagshot's home after his wand was broken during their violent encounter with Nagini, it would seem that it is.[2]
House-elf Apparition
House elves can also Apparate, and are able to even in places in which wizards are prevented from doing so, such as Hogwarts and 12 Grimmauld Place. In 1998, when Harry, Ron, Luna, Dean, Griphook and Ollivander were imprisoned in the Malfoy Manor cellar while Hermione was being tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange, Dobby arrived to rescue them. He first took Luna, Dean and Ollivander to safety by Disapparating to Shell Cottage with them, then returned to help the others.
Licence to Apparate
- "Oh, she was perfect, obviously. Perfect deliberation, divination, and desperation or whatever the hell it is — we all went for a quick drink in the Three Broomsticks after and you should've heard Twycross going on about her — I'll be surprised if he doesn't pop the question soon —"
- —Ron Weasley on Hermione Granger's Appariting abilities[src]
A Licence to Apparate is required to practise Apparition legally. One must be at least seventeen (17) years old to obtain such a licence. Lessons in Apparition are available, for an additional charge, to students who are or will be of legal age when the next test is administered. This is similar to Muggle schools where road instruction for driving licences is available, but at an additional charge.
While it is physically possible to Apparate without a licence, it is not advisable, because injury could result. Splinching can occur when one has insufficient determination to reach one's goal, causing certain body parts to fail to arrive at the destination with the wizard. For example, Susan Bones's leg when she accidentally Splinched herself during an Apparition lesson, although it was successfully reattached, she was left shaken by the incident.[1] Splinching also occurred in 1997 to Ron Weasley after Disapparating from 12 Grimmauld Place.[2] Ron Weasley also failed his first Apparition test because his examiner saw he had lost half of his eyebrow at the last minute. In cases of unlicenced Apparition, when injury results, the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad can level heavy fines. However, Harry Potter successfully Apparated multiple times without a licence between June 1997 when he brought Albus Dumbledore back to Hogsmeade village by Side-Along Apparition and the end of the Second Wizarding War.
- "Splinching, or the separation of random body parts, occurs when the mind is insufficiently determined. You must concentrate continually upon your destination, and move, without haste, but with deliberation…"
- —Wilkie Twycross[src]
At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, students in their sixth year can sign up for Ministry of Magic Apparition lessons. Those who turn seventeen before the first Apparition Test date have the opportunity to take additional practice sessions in Hogsmeade.[1]
Apparition may have a certain range. In 1998, Lord Voldemort was seen by Harry Potter as flying towards Malfoy Manor, thinking to himself that he would soon be near enough to Apparate. This could explain Voldemort's need to fly to locations to check on his Horcruxes, as he may have been out of his range to Apparate. However it is more likely that there are anti-Apparition spells protecting those area, such as Nurmengard, which would have these spells because it is a prison.[2]
Apparition becomes increasingly difficult with the distance to be travelled. Inter-continental Apparition should only be attempted by the most highly skilled of wizards.[3]
Anti-Disapparition Jinx
An Anti-Disapparition Jinx can be used to prevent a wizard from Disapparating from a location. Hogwarts has an Anti-Disapparition Jinx cast upon it for most occasions, and when Harry, Ron, and Hermione Apparated into Hogsmeade shortly before the Battle of Hogwarts, an Anti-Disapparition Jinx was placed on the wizarding village by the Death Eaters to keep the trio trapped there.
There is a method of teleportation used by house-elves which is not influenced by the jinx, as they are bound by more powerful magic requiring them to appear whenever their master calls. However, it may be the case that all known Anti-Disapparition Jinxes work only on humans, for it has been bypassed by creatures such as house-elves and phoenixes.[2] Portkeys can also be used to access or depart from locations bound by an Anti-Disapparition Jinx.

Apparition is derived from the word "Appareo" which is Latin for "appear" or "I become visible".
Behind the scenes
- Charles Weasley took his Apparition test twice, having Apparated on top of an old lady doing her shopping five miles south of his intended destination the first time.
- Ron Weasley failed his first Apparition Licence Exam when he splinched half his eyebrow off.
- Albus Dumbledore took Harry Potter to Horace Slughorn's hideout by means of Side-Along Apparition. Harry later returned the favour by Apparating to escape a seaside cave with an injured Dumbledore on his arm.
- Harry technically broke the law during Deathly Hallows since he had not taken the test. However the nature of the situation means he likely would not have faced charges. At the same time, he was the most wanted wizard in Britain after the Ministry of Magic fell to Voldemort and his Death Eaters, so if he had been caught Apparating, it wouldn't have been the worst of his troubles.
- In the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 game, Harry is given the ability to Apparate, yet he never passed his tests. But, as explained above, given the events of him being the most wanted wizard, it would not be the worst of his troubles.
- In some translations The Three Ds have been translated to non-canonical words (meaning it's not the correct translation), e.g. 'Deliberation' has been translated to 'Dimention' for the Danish version, despite meaning a whole other thing. This is done to keep The Three Ds.
- The ability of Yaxley in Deathly Hallows being able to force Side-Along Apparition by merely holding Hermione's arm, suggests that Apparition may use the same form of magic utilised in Portkeys, as the only requirement for travel via a Portkey is to touch the Key itself. This may be incorrect however, as Portkeys are not affected by Anti-Apparition Jinxes, though this could be because the jinx is set to only work on the specific spell used when Apparating, and is not attuned to the Portus spell.
- In the film adaptation of Half-Blood Prince, Harry and Dumbledore Apparated at the Astronomy Tower, seemingly contradicting the fact that no one can Apparate or Disapparate within Hogwarts. Harry mentioned it to Dumbledore, to which Dumbledore replied, "Well, being me has its privileges". The original script explains this further, having Dumbledore perform a spell upon re-arrival at Hogwarts, explaining to Harry that he is "closing the window" that allowed them to Apparate.[4] Furthermore it is also said that the Headmaster was able to lift and put back the Anti-Apparition Charm and the Anti-Disapparition Jinx.
- Although it is seen, the term "Apparition" is not mentioned in the films until the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
- According to W.O.M.B.A.T., it is possible that Inter-country Apparition has been outlawed due to extreme Splinching.
- It may be possible there are different variations of Apparition, like flying or randomly appearing out of nowhere.
- The instance of some variations of Apparition appearing to effectively be flying (Death Eaters and Order of the Phoenix members), contradicts the magical law that a wizard cannot fly without a charmed vehicle such as a Broomstick.
- In the final film, Voldemort can Apparate during the Battle of Hogwarts but it can be explained showing the fact that he broke all the protections, because Harry, Ron and Hermione couldn't Apparate into the castle.
- Draco Malfoy appeared to have been able to apparate inside of Hogwarts as well, as he apparently apparated in one of the corridors, grabbed Gregory Goyle and Blaise Zabini, then Disapparated again.
- While apparition is mentioned by Ron in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets before making its first appearance later in the series, the concept of side-along apparition is never mentioned before its introduction in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It is possible that it is not normally allowed, as the Ministry's pamphlets describe it as an emergency measure that is in place in light of the dark events of the time.
In the films
In the film adaptations of the series, Apparition differs greatly in deployment from the book series. The appearance of Apparition is also inconsistent between characters and uses.
- Death Eaters are shown physically collapsing into thick black plumes of smoke, shooting off into the sky, and being able to go wherever they want to, while doing this. Even that many people think this is apparition, it is not, it is just an ability that was given to the Death Eaters in the movie series. Voldemort, for example, can fly this way, and also really apparating in the standard way. That shows that flying (black smoke) and aparating are diferent things in the movies.
- Fred and George Weasley, near the beginning of the Order of the Phoenix film, show Apparition as it is shown in the books, by merely appearing out of thin air with a loud noise, usually startling the people around them.
- Albus Dumbledore Apparates to the Astronomy Tower with Harry Potter in the Half-Blood Prince movie by being sucked in by a silvery grey blob which then spits them out at the Tower.
- In the Chamber of Secrets film, Dobby the house-elf Apparates in the Dursleys' kitchen. There is a loud popping noise, and Dobby seems to fade away like a rush of slow wind.
- In the Goblet of Fire film, Arthur Weasley and other members of the Ministry of Magic Apparate quickly after the disturbance caused by the Death Eaters at the Quidditch World Cup match. There is a faint flash of violet light shown in the place of the Ministry members before they appear.
Somewhat deviating from the books, the way Apparition is portrayed in the films is most likely a stylistic choice made to better suit the visual medium of a film. It could be explained that the style differs by distance. Short range and less intense in the form Death Eaters use, they can fly/Apparate to their destination, long range and more intense the silvery grey blob used by Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter.
In the games
- In the video games, Apparition appears like it does in most of the films; black and white clouds of smoke, and people appears like they are flying to their destination.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 when Dobby Apparates away from Privet Drive neither the pop, the plop, the grey sucking-in, the fading away or the smoke is used. He simply disappears.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 Apparition appears like in most of the films and the video games; white and black smoke.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Its not often that a great summer swell coincides with a full moon, but when they collide, nature affords us a rare opportunity to paddle out long after everyone has called it a day. These moments are a solitary pursuit with empty lineups, but those who carve graceful lines under a full moon understand how things can be dark lonely and rewarding at the same time. So next time you paddle in from an overcrowded beach break, remember that nothing tastes better than a cold beer after a session. We suggest a glass of this smooth roasty black lager for contemplating empty lineups and waves that go on for days. Most likely, youll long for epic summer swells under moon lit sessions opening the doors to isolation and empty secret spots of an age trying to pass us by. Note: Formerly Midnight Sessions Lager.

A silent auction will be held next month for a Durango cyclist who was run over Nov. 8 by a truck in Bodo Industrial Park.
Elizabeth �Betsy� Richards was riding her bicycle southbound on West Frontage Road when a driver in a northbound pickup turned left into a parking lot without seeing her.
The auction will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. April 3 at Irish Embassy Pub. Items such as artwork and cycling gear will be available, said Greg Smith, one of the event�s organizers. The proceeds will go to the Richards family to help with medical bills and other expenses.
�It�s such a great community for this kind of thing. It�s one of the things that make this a great community to live in,� Smith said.
Richards returned to Durango at the beginning of February after being treated for her injuries at St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood, where she was airlifted after the accident. She suffered a broken wrist and multiple fractures to her pelvis.

We are thrilled to share with you a significant step forward in our efforts to move the 2010 Eunice Kennedy Shriver Act through the U.S. Congress.
We ask you to contact your U.S. representatives in the House and Senate and URGE them to support the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Act.
On April 29th, both chambers of the U.S. Congress filed identical versions of the bill. While this is simply one more step in a lengthy process to make this bill law, we are encouraged by this sign of support for our movement.
The bill has the backing of both Democrats and Republicans, and we are grateful to House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD), Congressman Vernon J. Ehlers (R-MI), Senators Tom Harkin (D-IA), Christopher Dodd (D-CT), Orrin Hatch (R-UT) , Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), James Risch (R-ID), Susan Collins (R- ME), Al Franken (D-MN), Mike Johanns (R-NE), Harry Reid (D-NV), Olympia Snowe (R-ME), and Robert Casey (D-PA) and Congressmen Peter King (R-NY), Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) for their work on the bill to date. Read the press statement issued by these lawmakers on the bill.
But, there is still significant work to be done before we declare victory. We ask you to contact your U.S. representatives in the House and Senate and URGE them to support the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Act. Also, share this message with your colleagues, supporters of your Program, friends, and family, and let them know how important this legislation is to our movement. We all know what Special Olympics can accomplish when we take action and work together to make the world a better place for our athletes. Few things are more important to that goal than passage of this bill!!
Read more about the bill and its impact on Special Olympics, and spread the word far and wide.
Frequently Asked Questions about the bill and the process of making law that may be helpful to your friends in the movement.

The simple, stylish, straightforward way to start keeping chickens. The Eglu Go Chicken Coop is the latest in the Eglu range and keeps up to 4 medium size chickens happy and healthy.
Fantastic product, easy to clean, move and looks great in the garden! Quick delivery and excellent knowledge on keeping chickens from the delivery man! Anita
The Eglu Go Chicken Coop is the simple, stylish, straightforward way to start keeping chickens. It is designed for you to keep up to 4 medium hens like the Gingernut Ranger or 2-3 larger breeds such as Brahmas and Buff Orpintons. The Eglu Go comes complete with everything you need to get started. It has plastic roosting bars and a discreet nesting area which can be filled with straw or shredded paper to make a comfortable nest for your chickens. The freshly laid eggs can be plucked from the nest simply by opening the door at the back and can be served with some buttery soldiers in a matter of minutes - delicious!
You'll find keeping your Eglu Go Chicken Coop in tip-top condition a breeze thanks to its innovative slide-out dropping tray and wipe clean surfaces. Made from energy efficient polymers, it's a hygienic home for your hens that will last for years and at the end of its life can be 100% recycled.
The Eglu Go is quick and easy to clean with a slide out tray for collecting droppings and a large door at the back which allows easy access to the roosting bars and nesting area. Simply slide the droppings tray out and empty into the compost bin - they will make a wonderful fertilizer for your plants. The Eglu's smooth plastic surfaces can be washed with a hose – no difficult corners or absorbent materials, or give it a deep clean quickly with a pressure washer. Unlike wooden housing, you do not need to treat your Eglu.
The optional (yet recommended) standard 2m run is made from strong steel weld mesh, virtually impossible for predators to break. A unique anti-tunnel skirt sits flat on the ground and prevents animals from digging in. The run has spacious vertical sides and gives your chickens plenty of room. You can extend the run in 1m sections if you wish. The Eglu can be positioned on grass or any other surface such as wood chippings or rough ground where the chickens can rummage.
The unique tunnel-proof panels have been proven in rigorous testing to be fox and badger resistant. The run means that when you are out and about you can be sure that your chickens are safe. The dark green coating is fused to the metal wires ensuring an extremely durable finish that looks great in the garden.
The run comes in sections for easy transportation or storage and can be assembled in minutes.The new run design means you can now position the door on either the side or the end panels. This is useful if you want to fit the Eglu Go into a spot where accessing the run would be more convenient from the side. You can use the door to let your chickens out and they will enjoy roaming around your garden looking for slugs and other tasty morsels.
The Eglu Go has a single large door at the back, which you can open to reveal the roosting bars, nesting area and dropping tray.
The Eglu has roosting bars for your chickens to perch at night and a discreet nesting box which can be filled with straw, shredded paper or wood shavings.
Let your chickens out in the morning and shut them away at night using the front door. Easy to use, and perfect when you want to keep your chickens out in the run while you clean the inside of your eglu or collect those freshly laid eggs!
The Eglu is specially designed to keep your chickens warm in winter. The Eglu has a unique twin-wall insulation system which works in a similar way to double glazing trapping a pocket of air which provides a very effective means of insulating the house.
In summer your chickens will be kept cool by the Eglu's draught-free ventilation system, carefully designed to avoid air blowing directly over the roosting area whilst allowing fresh air to circulate.
Available in three fantastic colours, you can choose an Eglu to suit you! Be bold with bright red, choose an Eglu Go in green to look subtle in your garden, or opt for our brand new Eglu Go in rich purple. Whichever colour you choose, you can be sure that it will look great in your garden now and for years to come.
When you buy an Eglu Go you also get over £50 worth of accessories absolutely free! Not only that, we're so confident you'll love everything about the Eglu Go and your new chickens we offer a 30-day, no-quibble money-back guarantee.
Created for use with the Eglu Go run, these food and water containers clip neatly onto the run, maximising floor area. The covered design of the Grub prevents food from being spoiled by the rain as well as minimising wastage. The feeder and drinker are dishwasher proof, meaning you can give them a thorough clean with no hassle. You can gain access to both easily using the run door.
Like ladies at Ascot during a downpour, chickens don't like getting their plumage wet. Luckily the all weather shade is a perfect gentleman protecting your chickens from wind and rain. What's more in summer this useful device keeps the delicate ladies out of the heat of the midday sun.(This shade comes free only if you are buying an Eglu with run.)
You will soon find that your home grown eggs are in high demand from friends and family. You will be able to make giving them even more special with your own egg boxes! Your Omlet egg boxes will do just the job, and with space for only four eggs, instead of the standard half dozen, you will be able to make your eggs spread further.
Written by Omlet and packed with straight-forward tips on looking after chickens, the guide is an invaluable information source for the beginner and advanced user alike.
If for any reason you are not entirely satisfied with the Eglu Go or the chickens you can send it back to us for a full refund. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Each chicken will reward you with an egg most mornings. What could be better than that?
Ideally your garden should have a fence all the way round. This will prevent your chickens from wandering into the neighbour's garden and, more importantly, ensure that all the eggs are laid on your side of the fence! The fence should be about 1.5m (5ft) high.
If you do not have grass, it is possible to keep a couple of chickens but you must provide them with a layer of wood chippings to rummage about in as this will give them the right type of surface underfoot.
The Eglu Go House is suitable for up to 4 medium sized chickens or 2-3 larger breeds such as Buff Orpingtons or Cochins. When setting up your Eglu, you should allow 60cm of space behind the house to enable the dropping tray to slide out easily.

Looks smart, easy to clean and the girls are very happy to head off to bed in the evening. I feel confident they are safe, sound and comfortable.
I have found the Go is easily damaged. The plastic is quite thin and brittle, so it can break if something drops on it or eg if the roof blows off or if someone accidentally steps into it. If it gets clogged with shavings it can be difficult to open and close the doors. The house door into the run can also fall apart and be a bit complicated to reassemble. The classic seems to work better and is much more durable.
Basically very pleased with this. Daily use very straight forward, easy to clean apart from the front door step which cannot be reached unless you dismantle the house and run or crawl inside! Building the house and run was challenging and it didn't always go together easily some brute force required and in one place some string! Am considering extending the run by a metre to allow my two more room and need to check if it's possible to reposition the door into the run as this could help with cleaning. Also need to check out the larger clear plastic cover for the approaching winter and wondering if it will be strong enough to survive the Orkney wind!
I have had my Eglu Go for 3.5 years and am really impressed with the quality. Mine has been out all year round in all weathers and this month we moved it. I was amazed at the lack of degeneration of the run (no rust whatsoever) and the Eglu hut itself shows no real signs of wear! I anticipated the little plastic clips snapping when i took the run apart but amazingly NONE of them broke so was able to put back together again with no problems. I look forward to my hens enjoying their Eglu hut & run for many more years!
I bought this eglu go as a birthday gift for my mum and it is brilliant! The design is awesome like the pull out tray etc = top marks!!
