{{Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Beginner Spoiler}}▼
== Extended Description ==
▲The '''''Floo Network''''' is the network of fireplaces able to be reached by Floo Powder.
When we first see people travelling by Floo Powder, no mention is made of the Network as a separate entity; you simply travel until you reach the correct fireplace. In [[../../Books/Goblet of Fire|Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]], where the Network is first mentioned by name, we are told that the fireplace at [[../../Places/Privet Drive|Number 4, Privet Drive]] has been temporarily added to the Floo Network. And in [[../../Books/Order of the Phoenix|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]] it is mentioned that the Floo network is being monitored.
== Analysis ==
The Floo Network can be used for travel or for communications – you can allow just your head to travel, and leave your body where it is. This ability to communicate by allowing just your head to travel is used by [[../../Characters/Sirius Black|Sirius Black]] on several occasions, by [[../../Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] on two occasions, and by [[../../Characters/Amos Diggory|Amos Diggory]] on one occasion.
There is apparently a sub-office of the Ministry of Magic which is responsible for keeping the Floo Network operating.
In [[../../Books/Half-Blood Prince|Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]] we are told that the Floo network has been connected to Hogwarts to allow students to return to school after Christmas. This seems a little odd, as we already know that the fires in Gryffindor tower, the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher's office, and the headmasters' study are connected to the network; presumably this means that the fires in the Head of House offices have been set to respond to people desiring to travel to Hogwarts. Perhaps it is possible to make a "concealed" entry in the Floo network; you need to know the name of a fireplace before you can get there, perhaps it is possible to have some fireplaces be "ex directory" so that you need to be told the name, which presumably would not be obvious, before going to that grate. In this case, "connecting to the Floo network" would actually mean "publishing a new name for the head of house's fireplace".
== Questions ==
# [[../../Places/Grimmauld Place|Number 12, Grimmauld Place]] is on the Floo network. As its existence is only known to members of the Order of the Phoenix, how is it possible for the Floo Network directorate to keep it connected?
# Would Floo network connection be a paid service, like phones? You have to buy Floo powder, do you think you'd also have to buy connection to the Floo network?
