• On the dirt path leading from the Entrance Hall to the boathouse.
• At the bottom of the stairs leading from the boathouse up to the castle.
• In the large plant in the center of the Stone Circle. (Cast depulso on the plant and the package will fall out.)

Exploding Snap (Patience)
(located at the end of the hall at the top of the clock tower)

This game is fast-paced, but there's a hint to make it easier -- all the cards have a color, and a card's match is always the same color. Some color groups have fewer cards and are therefore easier to match up. Try to match up all the silver cards first, then all the yellow, then the bronze, then the gold. This is a great, easy strategy to help you beat this part of the game fast.


How to get the Daily Prophet
(Library Portrait Quest)

Go to the Great Hall and run to the staff table. Turn to the owl-shaped podium (where Dumbledore stands to speak) and cast accio at it. Hedwig will fly in and drop a copy of the paper on the second table from the right. Run to the paper and press enter and Harry will read the headline. Then return to the library portrait and speak to it.

How to Get a Slytherin to Help You
(Dungeon Corridor Portrait Quest)

In the dungeon corridor is a nasty portrait who will tell you to get a Slytherin to tell you the password. After you have spoken to her, go to the Gryffindor common room and put on Harry's invisibility cloak. If you go to the dungeon corridor you will see two Slytherins talking. They will use the password to enter the portrait. Return the invisibility cloak to the common room, then come back to the dungeon and speak to the portrait again.

Stone Bridge
When you are standing in the middle of the stone bridge, turn to the left and walk to the door. Climb up on the side of the bridge and you will see a drainpipe. Slide down this pipe and walk across the ledge to the right and slide down the next pipe. When you reach the bottom, walk to the left. You will discover one of the flying creatures of Hogwarts -- bats -- under the bridge.
