* Harry and Ron rebound painfully from the sealed gateway to Platform 9-and-Three-Quarters in ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Chamber of Secrets (novel)|Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]''.
* In ''[[The Phantom Tollbooth]],'' Milo finds the morning after that the tollbooth has vanished, with a note in its place that explains that the tollbooth will find its way to the next needed child that needs it.
* The doorway in the wardrobe into ''[[Narnia]]'' vanishes when Lucy tries to show it to her siblings the first time. A portal to Narnia only seems to appear when you're not looking for it, according to Professor Kirke—and indeed, in [[C. S. Lewis|CS Lewis]]'s other Narnia books, every portal only works once, as opposed to the three times the wardrobe does.
** Used again in ''The Magician's Nephew'', with an actual splash; Digory and Polly jump in a pool that they know is a magic portal and only get their feet wet. In their case, though, the portal still worked; they just weren't using their magic rings correctly (as they quickly figured out).
* Princess Quinn of Dian Curtis Regan's novel ''[[Princess Nevermore]]'' attempts to return to her homeworld by leaping back into the pond she emerged from. All she gets is soaking wet. The spell must be reactivated {{spoiler|by spinning around to generate a vortex}} before she can return.
