Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an action-adventure game where players control Harry Potter during his first year at Hogwarts. You'll attend classes, explore the castle, make friends, and confront challenges, all while learning to master magic.
Story
Welcome to Hogwarts
It's the first day of term at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and an incredible world of magic is opening up to you. As the gifted young wizard, Harry Potter, you must take your first steps into this mysterious world, a place far away from the humdrum existence of unsuspecting Muggles.
With friends to be made, lessons in Charms, Potions, and Defense Against the Dark Arts to be learned, and an enormous, ever-changing castle to be explored, you'll need all your wits about you. Especially if you're going to beat Draco Malfoy and his cronies, Crabbe and Goyle, avoid the steely gaze of the Potions master, Severus Snape, and tame a bestiary of magical creatures.
But fear not, with allies such as the lovable Hagrid, clever Hermione, and the wise headmaster Albus Dumbledore on hand, you'll be ready to take on 'You-Know-Who' before you can say Flipendo!
Good luck, young wizard-in-training, you're certainly going to need it.

Interacting with the World
Move Harry close to people and objects to see if he can interact with them. If he can, the onscreen Action button (the button) tells you what to do.
Harry can push and pull heavy objects to clear his way, or use them to help him climb.
Tip: Pushing and Pulling Objects
Pushing and pulling heavy objects could also help to solve puzzles.
•
Owl Perch
Making Harry approach and explore unfamiliar objects can be extremely useful in your adventure.
Jumping, Climbing and Hanging
When every door Harry tries is locked and cupboards do not contain vital clues, sometimes the only way out of a situation is to climb.
Harry can climb up and down ladders. Press the Action button (the button) to make him take hold of one.
Run towards an edge and Harry jumps. Walk towards a gap and he'll grab hold of the edge and hang there.
•
To drop from a ledge, press the button.
•
To climb up onto a ledge when hanging, press the left analog stick.
Note on Exploration
There are a number of other ways of exploring but you'll discover these as you play through the game. Watch the onscreen Action button (the button) as Harry steps up to walls, doors and other objects.
Flying
•
To steer your broomstick press the left analog stick.
•
To accelerate press the button.
Bumps and Knocks
Though tough, Harry is not invulnerable. When pelted with Stink Pellets or confronted by nasty creatures, he'll be knocked over and lose stamina.
The lightning bolts show Harry's stamina. If all Harry's stamina gets used up, Harry faints and is set back in his adventure.
Tip: Earning Extra Stamina
You can earn extra stamina by collecting Witches and Wizards Cards – one extra lightning bolt for every twenty cards collected.
Tip: Restoring Stamina
To partly restore stamina, get Harry to eat a Chocolate Frog or a Cauldron Cake. If you have a Wiggenweld potion in your Inventory then Harry will drink it and fully replenish his stamina. Look for cauldrons to fill Harry's potion vial.
Casting Spells
Hold the R1 button to mark the target with the sparkling indicator.
At first, you can only cast very basic spells at Ollivanders Wand Shop. After reading Miranda Goshawk's famous The Standard Book of Spells, you can learn how to cast the perfect spell.
Note on Assigning Spells
Before you can cast any spell, you need to assign it to your controller buttons. See Inventory for information on how to assign spells.
To Aim a Spell
1. Face in the direction of the desired target then press and hold the R1 button. If you can aim at the target, a sparkling indicator appears around it.
Tip: Aiming
You don't always need to press the R1 button, but you always need to face the target.
2. As soon as you've aimed, press the chosen spell button and Harry casts the spell.
•
Press the button to try to dodge any projectiles or spells.
Note: Holding R1
Keep the R1 button held down until the spell is cast or you may miss the target!
Targeting Multiple Objects
If Harry encounters multiple opponents, you can target each of them in turn as long as they are in front of Harry. Press the R1 button repeatedly to cycle through the potential targets.
Tip: Experimenting with Spells
Try spells on everyday objects. A well-aimed Flipendo or Incendio could reap valuable rewards!
Advanced Spell Casting
As Harry progresses through his classes, he'll come across many challenges, which could help him learn new spells. Each additional spell can open up gateways to new realms and adventures.
How To Cast A Perfect Powered-Up Spell
1. First, make sure Harry has a copy of The Standard Book of Spells in his Inventory. Without it,

Items & Weapons
Chocolate Frogs
These delicious but jumpy confections impart incredible stamina-boosting properties to the lucky person who eats them. They must be consumed immediately and are not stored in the Inventory.
Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans
These delightful wizard treats come in almost every flavor imaginable. They can be traded at Fred and George's shop for other interesting and useful items.
Pumpkin Pasties
Pumpkin Pasties are a traditional and popular wizard snack that'll give Harry a helpful boost of energy to a flagging stamina bar.
Cauldron Cakes
Students at Hogwarts enjoy these by the stack! Harry's stamina bar gets a welcome boost if he picks up one of these renowned delicacies.
Eeylops Premium Owl Treats
These tasty morsels are "the best thing for a happy, healthy owl" and are fed to Hedwig to encourage her to do things for Harry. They appear in the Quests section of Harry's Remembrall and are equipped automatically when Hedwig is hungry.
Potion Vials
Use potion vials as containers for your potions. Attend Potions class and mix potions to earn these vials, which can be refilled at cauldrons found in secret areas.
Bean Pouch
An essential bag that allows Harry to carry more of the wizard sweet, Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans.
Stink Pellets
Harry can throw these diminutive items, much beloved by Fred and George Weasley, to create a cloud of stinking green smoke that can distract and confuse.
Dungbombs
As their name suggests, these are very unpleasant 'novelty' items that can be used to create a distraction. When they explode, they emit a most distasteful odor and thick smoke.
Nimbus Two Thousand
A superior racing broom you can equip to fly in permitted areas of Hogwarts' grounds.
Enemies & Characters
GHOST
General, unnamed non-specific ghosts haunting the classrooms and corridors of Hogwarts. Ghosts are only hurt by the light directed from a Lumos Spell.
FLYING BOOK
These weighty tomes may erupt dangerously from bookcases, especially in the Restricted Section. They can be stunned with Flipendo; however, they're easily combustible.
PUFFAPOD
Puffapods can be hit with Flipendo, but be careful of their spores which can create a confusing haze. Their dangerous bounty can be harvested for use as a potion ingredient.
DOXY
The Doxy is covered in thick, black hair, has an extra pair of arms and legs, and a double row of sharp, venomous teeth. A Knockback Jinx will hold them at bay.
GYTRASH
A large, scary dog-like spirit, pale gray with shining white eyes, that can be encountered singly or in groups. Gytrashes are only frightened by fire or by the light directed from a Lumos Wand Lighting Charm.
TROLL
Trolls are fearsome, often violent, and unpredictable creatures known for their prodigious strength and stupidity. They can be disabled using Spongify.
BOWTRUCKLE
The Bowtruckle is a shy, peaceful creature that will attack if its tree is threatened and is adept at dodging charms. Casting Flipendo on them enough times will make them disappear.
FIRE CRAB
Despite its name, the fire crab resembles a large tortoise with a heavily jeweled shell and shoots flames from its rear end when attacked. Stun a fire crab by casting Flipendo.
GNOME
Common garden pests with big heads and large, bony feet. Use Flipendo to push them onto their backs or distract them with Horklumps; to get rid of them permanently, throw them into a gnome hole.
HORKLUMP
The Horklump, considered a delicacy by gnomes, resembles a fleshy, pinkish mushroom covered in sparse, wiry bristles. Stun Horklumps with Flipendo, then sever them with Diffindo.
IMP
Imps are vicious little creatures, sometimes confused with pixies, that are of a similar height and have a slapstick sense of humor. You will need to use Flipendo to knock them back before picking them up and throwing them into a hole or an open cage.
VENEMOUS TENTACULA
The Venemous Tentacula is a long, straggly plant with moving tendrils and fanged shoots, whose bite is very painful and poisonous. Use Diffindo to stun the creature and sever its tendrils, then Incendio to finish it off.
FLOBBERWORM
The thick, brown Flobberworm can reach up to ten inches in length, and both ends produce a mucus that can be used to thicken potions. Its preferred food is lettuce, though it will eat almost any vegetation.
