Jun 24, 2019 at 3:18 comment added Megha Not sure if it matters, but from the wording it looks like your examples might be pointing in opposite directions - nothing happens when trying to leave a warded area (disapparate), some unspecified bad thing may, or may not, happen when trying to enter one (apparate). I don't think there's better evidence, mind, I just noticed the directionality.

Jun 24, 2019 at 0:07 comment added Alex @DavidW I would agree with you if we had reason to believe that the enchantments at Hogwarts are fundamentally different from those in other locations. I have edited the answer to make it more clear that I am equating the protections at Hogwarts with those elsewhere.

Jun 23, 2019 at 23:45 comment added DavidW That was precisely my point! If a standard charm blocked those attempts to apparate, then they tell us nothing about what Hogwarts' effect on an attempt is, because it never reached that point.
Jun 23, 2019 at 15:51 comment added Alex @DavidW What indicates that those are anything more than the standard anti-apparition charms?
Jun 23, 2019 at 15:26 comment added DavidW In both of those examples (certainly in the 2nd) it sounds like there is something else blocking them from disapparating, not that they are running into the normal Hogwarts blocking, so I don't know if they give useful information about what happens if someone runs into Hogwarts' own defences.
