Hint: Getting back to the castle easily:
After you get the Diffindo spell book, run towards the castle and intentionally get caught by a Prefect. The Prefect will take you to the entrance of the castle, and you will not lose any House Points. Note: This will only work on the way back. If done on the way to the greenhouse, the same thing will happen, and you will have to start all over again.

Hint: Expelliarmus Challenge
Use your spell that cuts down tapestries and ropes on the spiked ball. Walk up close to the edge and hold your trigger button, charge up for a half second and cast. Note: If you throw the imps into the fiery pits, they will die and you do not have to worry about them. Likewise, if you throw them all away you cannot put them into the cages to get out; but when all are indeed gone, they respawn from that hatch in the wall at the first ramp.

Hint: Escaping the Slytherins
When you are in the Slytherin common room and need to get out, hide behind the pillar on the right side and wait for the girl to pass. Next, go into the room on your left and stay behind the door. The girl will return and look around. She will not see you. After she walks away, run and jump to avoid being captured. As soon as you exit the room, go to your left. Once there, start running to the door to avoid being captured. This may take a few attempts, as there are many people waiting by the door. Run very fast instead of creeping there -- the Slytherins do not catch on very quickly that you are there.
|
Hint: Gnome tossing
When you want to throw a Gnome far, try to get a little close to the leaves by the pond and between a fern. It is a few of steps away from Fred and George.

This spell will only work on some doors and chests.

Hint: Defeating the Whomping Willow
When the Whomping Willow starts to pound into the ground, hide in the corner where you entered its lair. The shock wave cannot reach you in here, unless you stray too far from it. Should you get hit, you should have refilled your potion Vile before you entered. Also, Hedwig will drop Cauldron Cakes and Beans for your aid. Note: Rapid firing technique is recommended. Lock on to the limbs after they finish pounding and fire a quick shot, then wait to lock onto the Willow's Eye. Then, fire repeatedly until it stops hurting him before running back to your hiding hole.

Hint: Defeating Aragog
To get to it, use your Lumos spell to light the floor and follow the trail of spiders. Unlike the book, the spiders that are not normal size will try to kill you. Attack them with Incendio. When fighting the Giant Mother Spider, do not try to hurt the spider itself. Instead, use your Incendio spell to burn the web it has attached to the various trees. When done, it will fall into the pit and you will slip in after it. In here, just run around until it rears its head and exposes its soft under-belly. It is the only part that is susceptible to second level magic. Note: It is best to not charge and use rapid firing to get a little extra damage.

Hint: Decrease Slytherin's House Points:
When you get to the Polyjuice potion level when you turn into Crabbe and Goyle, allow yourself to get caught by the Prefects. The Prefects will take away at least 5 House Points from Slytherin. This is very helpful if they are ahead of you on House Points. Note: This trick may not work on all of the Prefects.

Hint: Professor Flitwick's Incedio Challenge:
Once you get the Incedio Spell, return to the main room and make sure the two pillars are down. Go into one of them and switch the flame direction so that the flames are both are on one side of the room. On the other side, use Incedio to light the pigs and Flapendo to point them up to lift the platform; then again on the other one. Run quickly to the switch by the exit. If successful the door, will be unlocked halfway. You will need to do likewise with the other side. Note: You do not have to charge at all -- this gives you a few extra needed seconds.

Hint: Secret area at Hagrid's hut

Glitch: Enter Herbology Greenhouse on Nimbus 2000
When flying your Nimbus 2000, you can only fly in certain areas. One of the areas you normally cannot fly in is the Herbology Greenhouse. To do so, fly toward the Herbology Greenhouse. You will notice that it will only let you fly up to the wall, and not past. If you go to the left corner, you can just fit in the little space, if you fly straight downward after you are against the invisible barrier. This will not allow you to fly around in the greenhouse, but you will be inside. To get out, simply fly straight up.

Hint: Avoiding ghosts
When you do not want to be hit by ghosts and lose all your items (Balloons, Beans, and sometimes Stink Pellets) just stand on the ledge until the specter nears you. Tap the Analog-stick so that you will fall and catch the ledge. When you are hanging, they cannot hit you and cause your items to go flying.

Hint: Fighting with Expelliarmus
When in one of the few battles with Hogwart's students (just the Slytherin Gang, all others leave you alone), let them make the first shot and bounce it back. Just as you do, use your Flapendo with a quarter to half second charge to knock them back, thus trapping them with two spells to knock back, which they can never manage. Note: Beware, just as you finish casting Flapendo (depending on distance), you will be forced to use your Expelliarmus almost instantly.

Hint: Exiting the marble room
Hit only one of the blue hands with your wand. The farther back you are, the better. Get a little close to the spiky balls and let them chase you. They will only go so far then turn around. You should also turn around. Then at the end if it a blue sparkly light appears, hit it with your wand. It will blow up. Repeat this until they are all gone.

Glitch: Harry opening invisible doors:
There is a way for Harry to open an invisible door. This works on any door that leads to a room without the game loading (for example, a secret passageway into Hogwarts).Try going to the second floor. There is a door to a secret passageway next to the door that leads to the library annex. Open this door to reveal a chamber. Go forward and to the right into the room where there is a chest that has vines over it. Open this door, turn around, and go out it again. However, turn around very fast before the door closes behind you. If done correctly, Harry will appear to be opening an invisible door.

Hint: Easy house points

|
Hint: Easy duel win
First use Expellmarias until the orange ball is giant. When it is in the air heading for your opponent, use Diffindo before it hits so they cannot move away in time. Note: This may not always work.
|
Hint: Transformation spell
After you acquire the spell and return to the main room, use it to get across the room on the other side of the gargoyle. You will need to use the hardly visible ledges to cross. Hang off the wall ledge to escape nearing ghosts, and push down the slabs to make a bridge. Once this is done, you will have to fight the gargoyle. It is recommended that you get on the right staircase, halfway up. Then, use the spell on the last stone and the door will open.

Hint: Deduct points from Slytherin

Hint: Stink Pellets
After you leave the Burrow and have finished collecting Ginny's lost supplies, go around casting Perfect Flipendo's on all of the objects you can find. Collect the Sickles, if they appear. Once you have enough Sickles, enter Gambol and Japes. Purchase a 10-pack of Stink Pellets. These can be useful when facing enemies, or if you are caught by a Prefect after hours.

Hint: Defeating the Basilisk
Grab the sword, but do not attempt to hit it when you get the first chance. When the basilisk gets very tall and green appears from its mouth, use the sword on the black diamond on his chest while he is up. To do that, make sure you lock on then attack. Continue to do this and he will be defeated soon. Note: Only attack him while his head is far above the ground.

Hint: Diffindo Charm

Get down to the main entrance and get past those Prefects. Then, go outside. Stay away from Prefects and get to the Herbology Greenhouses near the forbidden forest and Hagrid's hut. Do not get caught by Professor Snape. Go into Greenhouse #3 and get the charm. Also, fill you potion vial with Wiggenweld. For a small shortcut, get caught by anyone but Snape. Go in and get to the second floor. Once there, you will see an intermission sequence of Nearly Headless Nick petrified. On the wall there will be a message:

Glitch: Professor Snape does not react:
After Professor Snape threatens you after you get out of The Whomping Willow, go to the Herbology area. You will see him walking around in an area that is very close to you. You can shoot him with spells, Stink Pellets, and Balloons. He will come very close to where you are, but will not catch you and take points away.

Hint: Getting past Prefects
While trying to save Nevil on the night after the first day, you need to get past Prefects in the entrance hall. After the Prefect in front of you walks down the small stairway, cast Flipendo straight across. All of the Prefects will go toward it, and stay for a few seconds. When this happens, quickly run toward the door. Note: A few Prefects will come up the stairs.

Glitch: Missing ground and walls
This may require several attempts. Set the Nimbus 2000 to B, then go to Hagrid's Hut. Leave, but as you are doing so, press B and get on your Nimbus 2000. If done correctly, Harry will grunt and you will see light blue. Thenm Harry will grunt again. Do not dismount from your broom. Fly to your right, and you will notice that part of the wall is missing. Turn to your left and look down and you will see that part of the ground is missing. Fly down into the hole and look up. Walls will be gone and towers will have vanished, leaving only their roofs behind. Massive chunks of land will be gone. To return to normal, land in front of the main entrance.
