Vanishing Cabinet
One of a matched pair of cabinets that act as a passage between two places, so that anything placed in one appears in the other.
A Vanishing Cabinet is one of a matched pair that works as a passage between two places: an object put into one appears in the other. One of them stands at Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, where Peeves the poltergeist smashes it in a classroom above the caretaker's office. Cabinets of this kind were popular during the first war against Lord Voldemort, when a witch or wizard could step into one and wait out a Death Eater visit at the other end. Siméon Lignum sold them, and repaired them, from his shop in the Place Cachée.
