A '''''portkey''''' is a common item used to transport anyone touching it to another pre-determined location, such as a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Quidditch|Quidditch]] match. Typically portkeys will activate at a specific time, but apparently it is also possible to create an on-contact Portkey that activates immediately when touched, or an on-command Portkey that activates on demand. A Portkey can be any sort of object, most often something of no value: an old teakettle, for instance, a discarded boot, or the head of a broken statue. A Portkey cannot, we believe, be a human.

On two separate occasions in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]] is seen to create a Portkey, once to carry Harry and the Weasleys from his office to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Grimmauld Place|12 Grimmauld Place]], and later to carry Harry from the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]] to Dumbledore's office. Both of these Portkeys seemed to be of the delayed-activation type, as in both cases Dumbledore counted down for the portkey to activate; in the first case, this was necessary because it was necessary to transport all of the Weasleys, along with Harry, to Grimmauld Place, in the second case it was because Dumbledore wanted to hand the Portkey to Harry. In the first case, though, it seems more likely that the Portkey was a command-activation type, because while Dumbledore did count down to the activation, he had made the Portkey before he had heard back from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Phineas Nigellus Black|the portrait of Phineas Nigellus]], and he could not have known exactly when it was to activate until Phineas Nigellus had reported back.

 

 

When Dumbledore uses the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Portus|Portus]] charm to create a Portkey in front of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cornelius Fudge|Cornelius Fudge]] in the Ministry of Magic, Fudge, then Minister for Magic, seems shocked that Dumbledore would so lightly create an "unauthorized Portkey". It appears that, because of their ability to deposit a person within areas that are protected from incursion (recall that both Hogwarts and 12 Grimmauld Place are protected by being made unmappable and by having spells to prevent [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Apparition|Apparition]]), creation of Portkeys is controlled by the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Ministry of Magic|Ministry]].

Portkeys are used [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 5|later in that same book]] to bring various groups from safe-houses scattered around the country to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/The Burrow|The Burrow]]. Harry and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]], for example, catch a hairbrush from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ted Tonks|Ted Tonks]]' house. These Portkeys are timed; there is some discussion in the Tonks house about not missing the Portkey, and there is concern at the Weasley house because two prior Portkeys had already returned without the Order members who were to travel with them.
