BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Wilkie Twycross was an employee of the Ministry of Magic who was the Apparition Instructor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to students who are age seventeen or approaching seventeen and wish to obtain a license to Apparate.

Twycross is described as "oddly colourless, with transparent eyelashes, wispy hair, and an insubstantial air, as though a single gust of wind might blow him away". Harry Potter, upon meeting him, wondered whether this was because of the large amount of Apparating and Disapparating he did.

Many of the students in Twycross's 1997 Apparition classes did not like him and called him names, inspired by the "Three D's of Apparition" that he tried to teach them. The nicest of those were "dog-breath" and "dung-head". Perhaps because of this, Twycross seemed very fond of his few good students, such as Hermione Granger.

"The important things to remember when Apparating are the three D's."
-Wilkie Twycross
