Harry Potter and Transportation

Spoilers for Harry Potter 1 - 7

I'm not the only one that has noticed

That in Harry Potter

While it's fast and useful

It's dangerous or terrifying.

Some times both.

What am I talking about?

"Transportation." 

The Portkey:

Apparition and Disapparition 

note: don't bother watching the whole video  

Brooms

note: skip somewhere around a minute of video

don't watch the whole thing  

Knight bus 

Floo powder

Toilets

 Yes, toilets.  

Sorry for bad quality, and/or  long videos it's the best I could do.

Really you think after a couple thousand years

 They could come up with a decent form of transportation!

If my words are not witty or wise,
may they always be mine ...
