Behind the scenes[]

  • This version has a glitch during the part where you need to find ingredients for Snape. One of them is supposed to be found by examining a tapestry in Snape's office. However, if you get the other ingredient first, the one in Snape's office will never appear and you will be forced to restart the game.
  • In the book and film, Harry witnesses Snape and Quirrell's interaction alone and in the Forbidden Forest and a school corridor, respectively. But in this game, he witnesses the scene along with Ron, Hermione and Neville on the third floor during the Midnight Duel scene.
    • In the same scene, when you are in the Trophy Room and walk towards the Armour Gallery, Filch and Mrs Norris will turn up. There are two ways to escape:

1. The first one is through the secret door inside the Armour Gallery that will take you out into the third floor hallway.

2. The second one is to carefully walk towards Filch and when you can walk past the last showcase of shelves, walk up to the wall next to the door, then go right to the door and walk out.

  • When you find the Counter-curse book, make sure you use it to remove the curse yourself before giving it up because you will learn the spell ‘’Mucus Adnauseam’’.
    • Also, you should return the book straight to the library because Madam Pince will award 25 House Points to Gryffindor and then so will Quirrell with 10. But if you go straight to Quirrell without giving the book back yet, you won’t have enough points to be able to win the House Cup ... so in order to win it, you might have to do the Owl Chase with Madam Hooch about 3 times since the chase is worth 10 points. You also need to get all the card combos before you do the Owl chase because you will earn the 10 points only that way. Also, if you do the DADA class first before Transfiguration, you will have to fight in a magical encounter with the purple rabbit that was actually a lit candle instead of just grabbing it without a fight.
