Presumably, all adult wizards can apparate. Or is this something that 
is only available to those who can prove skill and qualify for a 
license? 


Me:
I have a thought that I haven't seen posted(forgive me if I missed it!).  I 
guess my thoughts are that wizards can make themselves apparate, but they 
can't make objects apparate with them.  Of course, they don't end up naked 
after the apparate, but maybe it excludes clothing, or there's a limit to how 
much materila you can apparate with you.  Like a really strong wizard(like 
Dumbledore) could apparate with a kid on his shoulders, while regular wizards 
manage with their clothing and whatever's in the pockets.  
The main thing that backs this up is the fact that Harry and the Weasleys had 
to take a portkey to the QWC.  Why would they do this if the kids could just 
grab a hold of Arthur and be apparated?

Does anyone else have thoughts on this?

~Katey, who's hugely sad that Richard Harris died, and spent the better part 
of an hour crying, but is okay now.  *sniff*
