•

•
Press the +Control Pad or move the Control Stick to choose a Save Game Slot to save your progress to and press the A Button to confirm.

You must have a Nintendo GameCube™ Memory Card inserted into Nintendo GameCube™ Memory Card Slot A to save your progress. •
At the Select A Character screen, press the +Control Pad or move the Control Stick to choose Harry, Ron or Hermione, and press the A Button to confirm.
Up to two friends can join in the fun if you insert extra Nintendo GameCube™ Controllers into any open Nintendo GameCube™ Controller Socket. For information on loading a previously saved game, see Saving and Loading on p. 12.
BEGINNING YOUR ADVENTURE
Play solo and take control of Harry, Ron or Hermione to lead the three friends on their quest, or invite your friends to join in. Up to three players can play at any time on all levels, however Harry must face the Triwizard Tournament tasks and the battle with Lord Voldemort alone.
You can play with up to two friends, using one or two extra Controllers connected.
•
Extra players can join in at the start of any level by pressing START/PAUSE on their Controller at the Select A Character screen. They can then choose a character, press the A Button to confirm and press the A Button again when they are ready to begin.
•
Players can also drop in at any point during a level that you are playing by pressing START/PAUSE on their Controllers and then selecting a character from the pause menu in the same way.
•
Players can drop out of a level by pressing START/PAUSE and then selecting DROP OUT from the pause menu. If you're playing alone, you can exit the level by selecting END LEVEL.
HUD Elements
•
Number of Bertie Bott's Every-Flavor Beans
Bertie Bott's Every-Flavor Beans
These popular wizard sweets come in different varieties.
•
Blue Beans fill your Magic Meter.
•
Red Beans replenish your character's Stamina.
•
Any other Beans you collect can be used to buy collector's cards from the Folio Universitas.
STAMINA AND CHOCOLATE FROGS
Aggressive beasts can quickly deplete Stamina, but they're not the only danger - the magical world is full of hazards that can injure the unwary.
•
Characters lose Stamina when they are attacked or injured. When a character runs out of Stamina completely, they faint.
•
When a character faints, a Chocolate Frog is used to revive them. The trio starts the game with three Frogs, which are shared by all human players (computer-controlled characters do not use Chocolate Frogs when they revive).
•
When all of the team's Chocolate Frogs are lost and a character faints, you must restart the level from the beginning. So keep an eye on your Stamina meter and try to avoid fainting whenever possible!
Look out for other tasty wizard sweets. You can also collect Cauldron Cakes, red Bertie Bott's Every-Flavor Beans and Pumpkin Pasties to replenish characters' Stamina.
MAGIC MASTERY LEVEL
At the end of every level, your spell casting skills and use of magic in the world are ranked and rewarded, adding points to your Magic Mastery Meter. Each time your Magic Mastery level increases, new collector's cards are unlocked for your team to equip.
•
Every charm and jinx you successfully cast adds to your rating.
•
As you gain each new level of Magic Mastery, you unlock new collector's cards in your Folio Universitas.
TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT
Guide Harry as he faces the perils of the Triwizard Tournament. Can you help him succeed in the three tasks to earn the prestigious Triwizard Cup?
First Task
Harry's broomstick skills are put to the test as he dodges a ferocious Hungarian Horntail dragon to retrieve the golden egg it guards.
Second Task
Braving the depths of the Black Lake, Harry must find Ron in the underwater ruins and caves, facing the fierce Grindylows that block his path.
Third Task
The final task is a race through an enchanted maze with one aim: to be first to reach the Triwizard Cup at its center.
•
See Triwizard Controls on p. 3 for controls for the first and second tasks.
TRIWIZARD SHIELDS
You can unlock the challenging Triwizard Tasks, as well as other levels, by collecting Triwizard Shields. When you complete a level for the first time, you are rewarded with a Triwizard Shield and new areas of that level are unlocked. You can earn extra Triwizard Shields by returning to levels to explore newly opened locations.
THE PENSIEVE
Once Harry, Ron and Hermione have returned to Hogwarts, you can access the Pensieve in Professor Dumbledore's office. Here you can select a level to play, view information about your progress and access the Folio Universitas, where your collector's cards are stored.
•
To scroll through the levels, press the Control Pad or move the Control Stick. The level name appears above the Pensieve: levels that are not yet available cannot be selected. Press the A Button to play the selected level.
•
To visit the Folio Universitas, press the X Button. Access the Folio Universitas to find out about and purchase collector's cards. Cards that you already own can also be viewed
