In contrast Hermione seemed to have no problems Apparating, except the one time when she tried Side-Along and splinched Ron, but she was in a very difficult circumstance then, and managed it perfectly on all the numerous other occasions that she used Side-Along. When extra lessons were mentioned, Harry had been able to Apparate once in the previous lesson and Hermione had managed it twice and passed her test easily the first time. He splinched himself at least twice (although both times it was extremely minor) and Harry and Hermione were able to Apparate before he could. In the books, it was indicated that while Ron could Apparate, he wasn't very good or skilled at it. In Deathly Hallows, Harry did not possess a licence, while Hermione and probably Ron did, but he appeared more skilled at Apparating than Ron as he has never splinched himself or others and Ron has splinched himself at least a few times. In this way it seems to be similar to having a licence to drive a car as well: one doesn't need a licence to have the skill, but does need it to use the skill legally. It is shown that it is possible to Apparate without a licence it's just not usually done unless in lessons and is illegal. Dumbledore, who was much older and much more experienced, could Side-Along Apparate people with no problems as shown when he took Harry in this method multiple times. However, this ability may require more skill than normal Apparition or more concentration at least, as Hermione splinched Ron when she Side-Along Apparated him and Harry in a desperate moment. This suggests that phoenixes, like elves, can teleport anywhere, even in places with Anti-Apparition spells (this is also written in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"). In addition, Dumbledore's phoenix, Fawkes, used Side-Along-Apparition to take Dumbledore with him when avoiding arrest from the Ministry. This was also Harry's first real Apparition outside of lessons and although unlicensed and never before having even tried Side-Along, he does it extremely successfully and later he, Hermione and Ron sometimes Side-Apparate each other as well. Dumbledore uses this on Harry several times, and notably, Harry uses Side-Along Apparition to take the weakened Dumbledore back from the seaside cave containing Voldemort's locket Horcrux. A wizard or witch can use Side-Along Apparition to take others with them during Apparition.
