Harry Potter Video Game Help Thread

[Qeomash]

We've had a lot of threads recently concering single aspects of one single HP game. Rather than have a thread, resolve it, and then close it, we've now got this thread.

Also: if you can't find your answer in this thread, try GameFaqs.com (http://www.gamefaqs.com/).

[aragog]

I've gone through Chamber Of Secrets on PlayStation2 a few times, so I'd just like to add that if anyone has a question about it then let me know. I'd be glad to help.

[owl post 1992]

On the PC version in the spongify challege how do you jump on to the ledge on the right in the first room using the carpet just makes me hit the side and the roof

[DocHollidaywe]

Havent played them yet ...

[Joshman687]

Ive beat the game for Chamber of Secrets 3 times on PS2 or Xbox so if any1 needs help, i can help 4 sure

[Katie_Bell]

Owl post 1992- I've beaten the PC version twice now. I'm not sure what your question about the spongify challenge is though (its late here) feel free to email me if you still have questions however.

[Grotto]

I have complete the PC version several time, and here is the answer. First you have to get rid of both gnomes by putting them intoi their holes.When you do thisyou will be able to see a gargoyle at the lowest part of the stairs. LUMOS him and you will see a platforappear. Spongify up, then jump over. It is very easy.

I've finished bothof the games on Gameboy advance. CoS was very tedious to control, switching through spells is harder to get used too.

Trying CoS on PS2, and I think it's alot easier to control than the GBA.
But that's rather obvious.

I've jut started it two hours ago, so I'm only at the first DADA lesson.

[Flobberworm]

I've finished the CoS one for Game Boy Advance if anyone has any questions, but that was a few months ago so I might not remember all of it...

[RomulusLupin]

Does anyone know how to get past challenge #2 in the lego Chamber of Secrets. Ron and Harry are just sitting in front of the Gryfindor fire and I can not seem to do anything more. The helper is talking about secret doors if I keep up with my lessons. Please help...Thanks

[Joshman687]

Does anybody know how to get DUmbledore as a wizard card, or even if its possible?

[Qeomash]

I believe it is just among the normal cards, probably nothing special. Which platform is your copy on?

[Auror Weasley]

I just rented a copy of CoS (GCN) And I Was Wondering How To Go About Distracting The Prefects To Get Hogwarts A History?

-Auror Weasley ;D

[Qeomash]

You have two options: Run like heck, or go to Fred & George's store and buy stink pellets. Stink pellets are rather expensive, and I ran out quickly and ultimatly had to just run for it.

To use stink pellets, throw a pack when you think you're near a Prefect, they'll cough for a little while so you can sneak past. The portrait is in the far end of the library on the right hand side of the back wall.

[Kendra-McHenry]

I have The Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Game for my PC. I got all the way to Aragog's Lair. The problem is, that during the video, a spider says "Aragog, a human is here!" and he crawls, but he's crawling in the same place and he doesn't move. I can't do anything. Is there any way to fix the bug, or should I just start all over again?

[Qeomash]

Odd...I have the feeling you just simply ran out of memory. Try restarting, defragmentation, and any other maintenance you can do. Also be sure that Chamber of Secrets is the only thing you've got open.

Finally, look over the requirments for the game, perhaps your computer is lacking in some way.

[saw2003]

i can't remember exactly what part of the game it is but i know it is one of the classes. Where the ghosts are flying around and you have to move the stone to climb up on the platform then jump from stone to stone on the surrounding stones on the walls. i have no problem getting that far i know that you have to walk the ledge(sneak) during the first big gap, but on the second gap i can't seem to jump far enough and there is no legde. i just fall to the ground. i hope i'm just missing something because i'm getting very frustrated with it, so much that i have played it in a long time :frown: i really would like to finish the game so any help would be great :elaugh:

thanks -sandy

[Qeomash]

I think this sounds like a part in the GameCube that gives me trouble. The only way I was able to ever make the jump was "CONSTANT VIGILANCE" and about twenty minutes. The key is to run strait at the other ledge and you should make the jump. Even being slightly off you miss and drop off.

[saw2003]

I'll keep trying!

Thanks!

[magix]

I've gone through Chamber Of Secrets on PlayStation2 a few times, so I'd just like to add that if anyone has a question about it then let me know. I'd be glad to help.

I'm sure this is so basic, but once at Hogwarts, I can't find Fred & George. I found the potions bag and brought it to the message board to receive the card, but they keep telling me to find Fred & George. Help!!!

[aragog]

magix, I can't remember if you need to do this during the daytime or nighttime (or maybe it doesn't matter..), but you'll need to go into the Reading Room. Once in there, sneak past Percy, and find the portrait at the end of all the bookcases. Say the password ("Flibbertigibbet", I believe it was.. it'll appear by the X button anyway) and you'll get inside Gred & Forge's shop! There's not much to buy in there, but I'd suggest not getting any stink pellets until you've found the bag which allows you to hold more pellets. Kinda forgot where that is, though :D

Hope that helps!

[magix]

Excellent. Hmmm...not a fan of the prefects. I am now at the Quiddich Practice and have been flying for what seems like forever. Is there something I am supposed to accomplish other than flying through the rings? How do I get out of this? Oliver told me I was half way to charging my broom eons ago. Are there a certain number of rings I need to go through or is it a timed event? Do I need to do a clean pass without getting hit by a bludger? It seems like I've tried everything but the thing keeps going!

[nymphotonks]

Does anybody know how to get past the basilisk in the Chamber Challenge on the CoS DVD? everytime I get to the end I die! not super cool!

[aragog]

Flying through the rings increases your broom power and speed.. once you've gotten close enough to the snitch while having a good charge, the X button should show up at the top of your screen. As soon as you see the X button, push it! It'll take you to a different view of Harry (you can see his face and hands grabbing towards the screen) and the snitch will be zipping around the screen. Just grab it and the game'll be over.

nymphotonks, I know people were talking about the Chamber Challenge right after the DVD came out and from what I remember, nobody could figure out if there was a way to get out of the Chamber without going through a secret passage. I think it's programmed to have the basilisk eat you every time :D

[nymphotonks]

I went through the secret passage, and unless there's another one, I don't think it works. I can either stay in there forever or get eaten. There must be a way, because it would be pretty stupid to just let someone die in the end and not have a way out. I mean, what if Harry Potter had just died?

[aragog]

That might be the point they're trying to make, in some weird way... only Harry can escape the basilisk, us mere Muggles can't and we keep getting eaten. Know what I mean?

There's not a whole lot to do there anyways, getting eaten is probably the most exciting thing in the Chamber Challenge!

[SirCadogan]

I don't remember, as it has been a long time since I tried this, but I think I just went to the end of the chamber, and then the narrator said something like "You have found a way out of the Chamber, or have you?" something stupid like that. All I remember is that it was sort of confusing.

[nymphotonks]

the guy says, "Oh good! You've found the way out! At least, I think this is they way out." Then the basilisk attacks and you die.

[Auror77]

Alright, here's my question for you good gamers out there. I'm playing the PS2 version of CoS. You know how Neville always losses something and you have to go look for it? Well, I'm on the last item and I CANNOT find it anywhere!(I forget what the item is, but I know it's the last thing on the list) I've searched the grounds, Castle, Roof of the castle, greenhouses, by the lake, everywhere! I really, really need help, so if anyone knows where it is, please post!

[nymphotonks]

I found a bit of an answer to my previous question. At harrypotter.com someone was having the same problem with the Chamber Challenge, and he said at some point his brother got so frustrated he just pressed a bunch of buttons when he got to the basilisk and his "hands" flew up to cover the screen. He still died, but at least it's something!

[nymphotonks]

Never mind about my previous post, it doesn't work.

[fang23]

I think you are looking for a bag that is along the wall that leads aorunf to the castle. Do you know how to get more points at the end of the game?

[nymphotonks]

fang23, are you still talking about the Chamber Challenge, because it sounds like you're referring to to video game.

[SirCadogan]

Yes I believe fang23 is referring to Auror77's post.

[owl post 1992]

Does anyone know where the 10th secret are in the staicase part of the pc version is I've heard people go on about Dumbledore's office but there is another area in there. I've found the trunk behind the desk and the one tat goes around the celling and the red pot. Please help because this has been bugging me. I've done all of the those on the 4th floor (hospital wing), the on at the entrance of Lockhart's office, the one opposite his classroom and the one at the end of the hall, the one near the gold challenge and those around the Transfigeration floor.
:sigh:

[nettorrep22]

i read somewhere that on the seventh floor under something you get a albus dumbledore card but i dotn know if its for ps2 or gb or even pc but thats what i know

[hermione_fan]

On the PS2 version has anyone gotten all the wizard cards? Does anything happen once you've got them all?

[Gerry]

Anybody won the last Quidditch match against Slytherin in the PC version? Tips would be appreciated.

GT

[CatBlack]

I have the chamber of secret's PC demo and the filosofer stone game.
With the demo I can use a jostick to move my HP, but with the first game, I can't.
On the options I can't take the jostick, just use some buttons of my jostick, but can't move with it...
I have to use the keyboard to move him and that get on my nerves.

Anyone knows if I can take the option of a jostick, or is just a new option for the second game?

thanx and sorry for my english

[Qeomash]

CatBlack: I'd say your Philospher's Stone isn't setup to use a joystick. I don't know where it is on your game, but get to the settings. It's probably on the main menu screen.

If you get there and there aren't any options for controlers, devices, or other things, try in the Windows Settings (Start > Settings/Control Panel) under Gamepads (or whatever it's called).

If all that doesn't yeild you some results, I'd say your joystick just isn't compatible with PS.

[CatBlack]

The game I have is the pc game.
In the game I can change the options, change the buttons for jump, go to right, left... but I can't take the jostick like in the other game (chamber of..) where there are an option to take the jostick, and it works for move the character.
Also works with the filosofer..but just the buttons, no the directions... if you know what I mean...The jostick is ok, is the game. But maybe is just is an old game and doesn't have the jostick options or it have it in other place.

Hope you undertand now my problem
thanx

[Qeomash]

I think I see what you mean. The game is setup properly, joystick is enabled and works. It just doesn't work when you go to play.

Try looking for a "calibration" button. Some games require you to test the joystick. It'll probably make you move it to the top right, click, bottom left, and then let go for center position.

If that doesn't work, I'd say Mr. Potter doesn't find joy in your joystick.

[CatBlack]

I think you still not knowing what I said, sure that's for my bad english, sorry.
The jostick works, In the option I can take one of the buttons from the jostick to go to left, another one to go to right, and when I'm playing it works. But what is not working is the direction, I can't walk with the jostick, you know pushing the jostick to go front and pulling to go back...don't know how to say this :huh:

In the chamber of secrets game, there are a menu when it starts, where you can take the option of a jostick, but there is not in the filosofer game, you just can change the option on the game itself, changing the buttons options... I think that's the problem. Was not made for play with a jostick...

Hope you understand me now :rolleyes:

thanx for help

[Qeomash]

:shrug: Yeah, it seems like PS doesn't work with joysticks.

What I understand your problem to be is that the joystick works fine in CoS, but not in PS. With most games, you can use the "stick" part of the joystick to move the character, yet with your PS it doesn't work. The buttons, for some odd reason, move Harry.

Also, compared with some foreign-exchange students I've met, your English is good. I can actually understand what you're saying, them I couldn't.

[CatBlack]

yes, that's my problem ;)
but I see a diference on the options, cause the first game don't show you the option to take a jostick, and the chamber of secrets game has an option for this... What I want to know if someone else has this game (philosofer stone) and can move with the jostick, cause maybe my game is damaged or somethig... But I just think the first game doesn't works with jostick cause don't have an option to take it... just wanna be sure

thank you so much for your help :)

[fang23]

Alright, here's my question for you good gamers out there. I'm playing the PS2 version of CoS. You know how Neville always losses something and you have to go look for it? Well, I'm on the last item and I CANNOT find it anywhere!(I forget what the item is, but I know it's the last thing on the list) I've searched the grounds, Castle, Roof of the castle, greenhouses, by the lake, everywhere! I really, really need help, so if anyone knows where it is, please post!


I believe the item you are looking for is a book. There are no clues and I haven't found it either. If you have had any luck let me know. If anyone els knows please stop my torture. :censored:

[fang23]

yes, that's my problem ;)

Does anyone know what the third game will be like or any guesses?

[Mooney]

well over here in the uk, a game called "Harry Potter, Quidditch World Cup" has just come out, it has great graphics, and the game play of quidditch has altered slightly to make it more like the books, and you can play as chaser beater and keeper, aswell as seeker. :D
As for Harry potter and the prisinor of askaban, the movie isnt out till july next year :upset: , so i suspect the game will come out then

I've been playing harry potter & the pholosephers stone on ps1, and i can't get past those green ivy, snake things in the dungeon, you know after you have made fluffy fall asleep.
I can get rid of the ivy things around the edge, but i can't get rid of the one in the middle. I once got this close to beating him, but i cant get any further, ne ideas?

Nope.

[Zachary1993]

Does anyone know how to get into Diagon Alley if Chamber of secrets for GameCube I tried the door and it is locked. Is there another way out or do you have to use the spell and if you do where do you find it.

[Qeomash]

Head back up the stairs and between the wall and the boxes. Rather than going up the stairs to the door you came through, head right. There should be a switch off there somewhere.

Or, check behind the boxes near the door. There's a switch somewhere.

[Auror Williamson]

I have the old computer game of Sorcerer's Stone released shortly after SS was released in theaters.


I am to the point where I must "stop prof. Snape" and must first get past Fluffy.

When I'm in the same room as Fluffy, I can only use my flute and play to put one of the heads asleep.

The problem:

I can't get past Fluffy. I can only put one head to sleep at a time, and the heads can bite me. I can't jump or duck to get past Fluffy.

What should I do?

[owl post 1992]

stay under the midddle head then play either side to sleep

[La Guera]

Anyone know how to find the dittany for Professor Snape's WiggenWeld Potion? I've tried everything. I've beaten the gnomes and Bowtruckles in Hagrid's Garden, but no dice.

It's the new HP Sorcerer's Stone for Gamecube.

[Zachary1993]

In defence of the Dark Arts class you have to in COS for Gamecube you have to go through a potrait hole and there you use the Flimendo curse on one of the walls and out pops these black balls with spikes. Does anyone know how to defeat them. I tried I have broken some of them but they keep coming back.

[voldermort]

you have to use i beleive expeliarmus to break them i dont remember but after a while theyll stop coming

[The Hermit]

This may have been posted before, but you'll have to read it again. So, in CoS for GCN, why is Ginny wearing Gryffindor robes in Diagon Alley when she hasn't been sorted yet?

To beat the flying objects in the DADA class, you have to get them to glow and charge at you. When they hit the ground and start floating back, you blast them. Six to ten of them will appear.

[Zachary1993]

Thanks for the help it worked

And for the Ginny wearing the Gryffindor clothes well I think that was a game mistake. THere are a few that I saw like the part where Malfoy called Hermonie a Mudblood it was supposed to be in front of Harry when he said it according to the book. But in the game he says that while Harry was having Quidditch prastice that is when Malfoy called him a mudblood and Ron was about to put a spell on him but he did not because Hagrid was there. Ron was the one to explain what a mudblood was not Hagrid like in the book. And another thing Ron actually did put the spell on Malfoy but in the game Hagrid stopped him. My brother says they can't go exactly to the book for copyright or something but they can change it so they made some changes and this was one of the changes where Ginny was already sorted.

[harryfantotheend]

In the new SS 4 gamecube, im really stuck in the first stage of the lumos challenge
if possible, could somebody PM me a walkthrough? THANKS!

[Peljam]

Hi, hope everyones had a good christmas/holiday.


I'm goign to do a little review of the Quidditch game for everyone here to clear up any basic problems people may have, but I do have some requests.......
Does anyone know if it is at all possible to get Ireland!?!?!?!

WARNING: My information is based on my copy of the game which is the English GameCube version. There may be differences between consoles and locations.
Also I'll try not to spoil things for those who like to find out about games themselves by playing but....if you really don't want any clues on what can happen in the game then its probably best to skip this post.



++Basic Game Play++

For most of the game you play as the chasers, passing, dodging shooting and so on. There are different combo's you can preform and the more stylish/gracefully you play the more bonuses you get. These bonuses can help you do special moves, special team moves, dodge, speed up, play as the beaters and so on.
To play as the beaters you need to get the bonus, and you do get given it quite frequently. As the beaters you hit a bludger and aim it at the opposing team, preferably the one with the quaffle:). You can control the Bludger direction but only for a short time, then its back to controlling the chasers.
As you play a bar at the top of the screen fills. The more gracefully or stylish you play the more your bars fills, also the more mistakes you make the lower your bar gets. This bar is the Golden snitch bar and when yours meets the opponents bar the seekers start trying to get the snitch. From this point on you play as the seekers. The bigger your bar the bigger headstart/boost you get.
You then follow the path of the snitch, gaining more speed if you stay in the middle of its path. You can preform rolls and hit the opponent seeker if they get in your way. Once you've caught the snitch the game ends:)
A special note here............
I've seen some posts saying that EA (game developers) took off the option of what hieght you fly at because it was too complicated. Thats only partly true. Yes you don't have direct control over what height you fly but certain types and strengths of passes, speeding up/slowing down and passing to certain areas will changes the height you're playing at.

++Game Options++

Hogwarts- you can train at hogwarts for a team, taking part in challenges which tutor you in gameplay and win you quidditch cards.
You also play in the house cup for your selected team. If you win the cup then you get tickets to the world cup, in others words winning the house cup unlocks the World Cup game mode.

World Cup- You take control of a team (see team selection below) and take them through the world cup.
It is a league table system, which means that you play all the teams, and the one with the most points at the end wins. All in all you play 18 matches I beleive. 1 at your home stadium and one at the opponents stadium.
Winning matches or preforming certain task during them (like hitting 6 chasers with a bludger) gets you quidditch cards and unlocks staduims for use in the exhibitions.
******Look away if you don't want to know what you gert for winning the cup.................




















Winning the cup unlocks a special staduim, Queer Ditch Marsh. Apparently where the game was created all those years ago.

Exhibition- you can have house matches or international matches at a selection of stadiums. Quite basic really:)

Options- the normal save and load things here, as well as the trailer movie, looking at the special moves you've unlocked through training, and looking at the cards you've collected. There's also an option for card trading but you need a GBA for that.....gits.

......So those are the basic game options:)


Teams- From what I've seen the teams are very accurate. The house teams are Prisoner of Azkaban era, with Gryfindor still having wood, Slytherin still having flint, and Cedric still being alive. The rest of the team seem to match what we've seen in the books and each house has its own characteristic special team move.

International teams seem fairly accurate too, from what little we know. The Bulgarian team is all accurate at least. Right down to Krum.
The international selection is a little limited though, you can play as England, USA, Australia, Japan, France, Germany, The Nordic Team, Bulgaria, Spain and......I think thats it, sorry :) I've come over all forgetful.
Each team has its own, very characterful in some cases, special moves. And according to the game they all have they're own strengths allthough I'm not sure what they are as of yet.
Bulgaria is a locked team at the start, meaning you need to get 65 quidditch cards before you play as them. :( I'm almost there......
NO SIGN OF IRELAND! Nooooooooo!
I'm hoping they are a hidden team......

So I think I've cover the basics, send me a pm for more in depth stuff on the World Cup. And please....let me know about Ireland.

Basically my opinion of the game is this, it is very fast and fun. It is easy to pick up and learn and you'll soon master it......but they are then another 3 or 4 difficulty levels to master after that ( all symbolised by different grade brooms)! Its a very fun and tense game, especially against another person, because as we all know its not over until the snitch is caught....which means you an spend most of the game behind on points so long as you catch the flutteriing snitch in the end.....I cant even count the number of times certain victory has been taken away from me by the final chase for the snitch.
The games only real problems lie in its limited international selection, its limited types of competitions (only house cup and world cup, both leagues, so far) and the lack of any create player/team options commonly found in EA games.
All in all its worth buying, and you will play it again and again.

[Constance]

I just got Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Next Generation) for mah Gamecube *hugs it* It's so much harder that CoS and Quidditch Cup.

Anyway....I'm stuk on this bit in the woods.... I killed the Gytrashes with Lumos, and got past the 2nd troll, killed the doxies etc...but now i seem to be just...stuck running around in this little area.....HELP! Its saved at 32% if that helps...I guess not may people have it, because when I ordered it, it hadn't officially come out yet....

(P.S NO IRELAND! AN OUTRAGE! I was shocked at this....they won the Quidditch cup for Merlins sake!)

[KellyBeanBee]

I'm stuck at the end. I have the old Harry Potter PC for the Sorcerer's Stone, and at the end, I can't beat Voldemort. How do I beat him? I've been stuck on this for weeks now. I know you cast flipendo on those big things, and they fall down on him, then what? :sigh:

In Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone-xbox you have to retreive a potion engredient from Hagrid. Does anyone have this game? If so can you tell me how to beat this part of the game? I would appreciate it. Or if you know another website where I could find a walkthrough. I have went to about every website possible to find a walkthrough. No go, there has not been a single one. Please help.

About old HP PC SS/PS, honestly I beat Voldemort but I think that was only because I was lucky!lol!
After the flipendo, you must go where is the Mirror, if you cast a spell at the mirror it start to rotate, I doesn't understand how really work but could help you in same way!

In COS you can only collect 50 botts beans. Is and some of the things that you want to buy costs 100 beans. How do you get more than 50 beans as your total. because I am only allowed to collect 50. If I try to get more it says I can't hold anymore.

You have to collect the larger bean bag. I don't remember if you need to buy it from Fred and George or find it.

I have a few questions about the new Sorcerer's Stone for GCN. In the Remembrall under quests, what are the middle circles for and the last one. Under items, what is the last one?

[journee]

Really would appreciate some help with the new Quidditch World Cup for the Xbox. I'm in the initial stages but am confused at how to save the cards/scores. This is different than the COS game and I've checked Gamefaq's and it hasn't been specified. If anyone could help and steer me in the proper direction I would appreciate it! :agree:

[Jonny Boy]

It should save if you tell it to.

[journee]

Guess I'm still in a Practice mode--the game has I think 4 different slots where you can save (1,2,3,4). I know how to, but it prompts me as to "overwrite" what has already been saved in that slot. That's what is confusing me. Do you "save" any Chaser score in #1, Beater in #2, etc. until you get the highest or most cards? I think I might be inadvertently deleting important cards that I need to save to unlock the special features.

In the COS for Xbox...you have certain sections where you just hit save and that's it. The QWC is a bit different. Hope that I didn't confuse anyone.

[Jonny Boy]

In the inventory should be a place where you can save.

Hi! I'm new here, am I using bad format? Well, I have a couple questions about COS on GameBoy Advance. Where is the Alohomora Spellbook? Where is a Girding Potion cauldron? Answers are much appreciated! :drool: :lol: :elaugh:

I'm sooo confused!!!On SS for PS2 I'm at the part where you have to collect the stuff for potions and I've gotten the ingrediant from behind the waterfall but I can't get the other two because I don't have alohamora or spongify yet, nor do I have the cutting charm. Why is this? since I don't have these spells yet how am I supposed to get the ingrediants for my potion? And where do I get these spells? Is there something I missed? :scared:

If it is the same as GCN, then you can just continue on with the game and get the other ingrediants right before you go to your next potions lesson.

If I remember correctly, then you used spongify to get to the bark. The first one you can get mainly focuses on lumos. You have to find a secret door somewhere through that door to the left in his garden. The other is behind the door with the large golden lock on it.

you get Alohomora that night and Spongify the next day. You don't need the cutting charm yet.

I am stuck! I am at the part where I have already gotten the Diffendo spell book and defeated the ghost dogs. I now need to get back to Herbology class but I can't figure out how to get back up to the bridge over head. I can't use any of the spells in my arsenal like diffendo, alohamora, lumos, or spongify. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

I'm pretty sure that you need to cut the ropes with diffendo. Try moving around until the rope is targeted.

[alixs]

I'm pretty sure that you need to cut the ropes with diffendo. Try moving around until the rope is targeted.

Okay, I tried it last night but Diffendo just cuts what is in front of you. The only spell that you can cast at items far away is Flippendo and that doesn't work even though the spell is magnetically pulled straight to the ropes. I have stood there and done it like 20 times in a row and nothing happens. I don't know what to do.

Ive beat the game for Chamber of Secrets 3 times on PS2 or Xbox so if any1 needs help, i can help 4 sure

In Harry Potter SS. I am stuck on the part where Harry has to get the ingredients for Snape's potions class. I have went as far as Hagrid's Hut and I am on this part where the gnomes attack you. There are three of them and there is this ledge like thing that you have jump to. I have tried jumping from the tree to another branch. I have also tried jumping from the ledge to this place where there is a patch of grass high up and further away there is a chest. Is there another way to do this am I wasting my time jumping from that ledge. I tried the lumos curse and there is not wall for that section. I also tried the flippendo curse and there is nothing to hit with that except for those gnomes how can I get past this. My brother deatheater wants to know to.

I think you are at the part where you use the lumos spell on the statue and green platforms appear. Take these to the place under the waterfall (I think) and get the first ingredient.

Sorcerer's Stone for the XBox

Anyone know how to defeat the Gytrashes in the room with Quirrell and the Mirror? I have been at this for a week now and know you need to get the health meter of the ghost dogs down in order for the force field to drop to Flipendo Quirrell. But the darn Gytrashes keep coming at me and can't get rid of them quick enough to concentrate on getting Quirrell??

In PS2 CoS, does anyone know the significance of being able to open the door to the broom closet in the Front Hall. I have beat the game a couple of times, but never found out why you can get into the broom closet.

[alixs]

this is the part where you are getting the spell for Herbology right? If so you have to target the ropes on the bridge overhead with the R1 or L1 buttons until that blue circle is around them. then use diffendo and it will cut the bridge down and you can run up it .

[alixs]

Where is the second one?

you defeat it exactly the same way as the first only it is harder because your perspective is skewed because the wall is in the way and you can't get a good visual on the tentacula. keep at it and you will get it. just sever both arms and when he rears his head back hit him with incendio. you'll kill him

I am in the lower room. I can get up on the inner structure, and I can jump to one of the outer walkways, but then I can't get to the ectoplasm. Everything is too far away to jump to.

[KellyBeanBee]

Which stars have you found?

I found the one I'm missing, but I don't know how to get to it. It's the one that's above the one room where you cast flipendo on all of the lockhart pictures to get the door open. How do you get that thing down?

[Lil Red Head]

In PS2 CoS, does anyone know the significance of being able to open the door to the broom closet in the Front Hall. I have beat the game a couple of times, but never found out why you can get into the broom closet.

That one confounds me too. In one of the books, there's a comment about the room of requirement being a broom closet, and so I'm wondering if they're setting it up for future games.

I have tried every spell in that room, gone in there at every opportunity within the game, and I still haven't unlocked anything. Oh, I have the PS2 version.

Maybe sometimes a broom closet is just a broom closet. :(

Sorcerer's Stone for the XBox

Anyone know how to defeat the Gytrashes in the room with Quirrell and the Mirror? I have been at this for a week now and know you need to get the health meter of the ghost dogs down in order for the force field to drop to Flipendo Quirrell. But the darn Gytrashes keep coming at me and can't get rid of them quick enough to concentrate on getting Quirrell??

I have the PS2 version, but it's probably similar. Took me forever til I got a hint online too, lol.

First of all, stay on the same side of the mirror as Quirrel, so when his forcefield does go down, you don't waste any time. Plus, if he gets time, he'll regenerate the gytrashes (extremely annoying!).

Make sure you're at max health (i.e. all 6 lightning bolts in PS2). And save the game just before you start this part, then when you die (I'd say if, but you've been there), you can go back to the saved game and start again with full health.

The key is to run around (I found the pillars helpful) and get the Lumos going when you're not about to be run over, then get close enough to get them in the face, but not to close they run into you. I also noticed I did more damage when I got a few of them at once.

I also yelled at the tv a lot.

After you've beaten him there, save the game, because you're not done, and you don't want to have to do THAT again! In the next part ('wingardium leviosa'), get him to destroy the pillars when he tries to hit you. I'll try to look back to see if you need more help at this point!

Is it a fault with my computer, or what?

ok i have beaten the hole game except for (he-who-must-not-be-named) in the sorcerer's stone for the pc.... how do I beat him i cant ever get close enough to the mirror for long to flipendo it. please help

We have Sorcerer's Stone for the Playstation, so I can tell you how it works there and you can see if it's helpful.

Near the end, there's the circular room with Quirrell by the mirror, surrounded by the 'forcefield', with the gytrashes running around. You have to do the light spell to the dogs to get rid of them. Be persistent. Stay on the same side of the mirror as Quirrell, and get him when the forcefield goes down.

After you defeat him there, you end up by the mirror, and there's pillars with large cement-like balls on top around the outside. Quirrell/Voldemort will shoot spells at you. If you stand behind hte pillars, his spells will destroy them for you. Very helpful. Then while you stand by the mirror, it extends a spell to you. When Quirrell shoots at you, you can kind of charge it by absorbing it, then when it changes color (green I think), you shoot it back at him.

Hope this helps!

You should be able to knock over some of the shelves using Flippendo. They will form a ramp that you can use to climb up.

The Sorcerer's Stone game for PC was so easy. The highlits were talking and bummping into other students and making them mad.

-Fighting with Draco Malfoy
-Quidditch
-Beatin the game.

[Polychrome]

Yes, Sorceror's stone was easy. But since I started with the Chamber of Secrets game, I missed the strafe controls when playing the first. Movement was a bit funky because of this. Geez, even Tomb Raider had sidestep buttons...

I did think the fight with Voldemort in the end was nicely challenging.

You'll have to be more specific about what's happening. Should tell us what exactly the game is doing, and tell us what type of puter you have as well. I will warn you that you'll need a relatively good motherboard and processor.

Happily not true :) I got mine for the PS2 in Tescos (Shropshire) yesterday morning. It's great :) I'm currently stuck trying to collect some fairies, I can stun them but don't seem to be able to collect them... any suggestions out there.

The only bad thing I've noticed is that the game has locked up a couple of times. First time I couldn't move Ron, second time I'd killed the two Hunkipinks that should have opened the door but the door still wouldn't open. Both times I saved the game, reloaded and all OK.

edit. Sorted my fairy problem :) Freeze them after stunning :)

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for Gamecube - going to Herbology on the third day to get the Diffindo charm. I got the Diffindo charm, it then showed me what looks like a ladder or bridge hovering overhead, however, I can't figure out how to get it down or move on or anything. I cant seem to cast the Diffindo charm at a distance to do any good and none of the other spells seem to be working. So I'm stuck, unable to move forward and can't go back because the door into the classroom is locked. Help?

[Pumpkin Juice]

Has no one played this game? Seriously, I'm stuck and can't do anything at the moment.

We have it for the PS2, and it's been a while but let me think. It there's a ladder, it's possible you need to call Hedwig. She's got this knack for landing on ladders and bringing them down for Harry to use. I seem to remember that you have to aim just right with Diffindo (although I might be thinking of COS).

If this is no help, try looking around online at peoples' summaries and such. I've found a few that were really helpful.

[Bookies9]

I don't need help, but this is rather funny. On the SS game, when Filch is prowling around with a lantern, Mrs Norris began jogging on the spot. Harry actually walked through her!
(pc version)

[Bookies9]

KellyBeanBee, to get the one in that room, fire your flipendo at the targets to make the pictures of the back of Lockhart's head line up with the door with the picture of the back of Lockhart's head to the right. It should open. Stand on the switch and the star should come down a little. Do the same to the left door with pictures at the side of his head. Stand on that switch and the star will come down completly. Collect the Challenge Star and open the door at the front. Hope this helps!

[Bookies9]

We ordered a new one. Going to get to my house on MONDAY! That's a teachers' training day at my school. It isn't fair that it didn't work! (That copy of the game was faulty)

[rhtruluv]

poor u i hate it when i got the defected CoS game

[willowwand]

Well, I've just completed everything in PoA for PS2. If anyone wants any help I'll do my best to assist, but not having written it all down I'll be relying on memory.

I wish the game producers would give you some kind of credit for finding everything, it's exactly the same ending as if you've missed a load of stuff. I feel quite cheated, particularly as the ending is so weak any way. Having said that though, I still think it is a good game and certainly don't regret buying it.

[Pumpkin Juice]

Okay, Gamecube version of Sorcerer's Stone - how in the blazes do you defeat Quirrell at the end? Each time I defeat one of his stupid ghost dogs, he brings them back to life, thus raising their health meter while mine keeps going down drastically! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

[Antipodean]

Can someone help me with the PoA Gamecube version? I'm sorry if someone already asked this question and had it answered; I just skimmed over the other pages. My brother and I are having trouble defeating the Hinkypunks when we're trying to save Neville. (Just after we learned Glacius and Lumos). We shine lumos on 'em, but they don't die and they keep throwing fireballs or something at poor little Ron. Is there a different way?

[ilovelifex1000]

yeah I have POA on PS2 and my sister and I CANNOT beat the Hinkypunk room. We've adjusted the mirror, tried everything to kill the little things, shot at/shined at/beat at everything in the room, or so we think. What do we do?
Hopeless causes.
Thank you too all you gamers out there!

[swishandflick]

With the Hinkypunks...first you have to shine the lumos on them for a few seconds (they'll make a noise) and they start looking solid. Then once they turn solid you flipendo them.

I have a question on the 'Patronus' chapter. When we have to pull across to each thing using the retracto spell, I think I'm stuck because it only shows me one way to go. I've got them all exept the one on the bottom left. Thanks.

[ilovelifex1000]

thank you swishandflick!

[GrintSistah]

:upset: Help! on POA (gamecube) Im stuck where Hermione is alone with the doxies! how do i fight them? i've run out of antidote (yes even the ones out in the hall and in the room wiht the doxies) and the stanima potions. the Glacious and flipindo spells arent working! i tried ignoring them and tryin to push that button (to open the gate) but when i try to Lock on the broken box to "Reparo" it i keep lockin on the doxies! they keep getting in the way and BITING ME!!! AH!! im pulling my hair out here! thanx!

Edit: nevermind. i figued it out. :blush:

[Cycloneprime]

I know I've asked already, but no one answered and I can't imagine nobody found how yet.

How do we win the Chamber Challenge in the CoS DVD?
Thanks alot

[Pumpkin Juice]

I'm barely into this POA game for Gamecube and already I dislike it very much. Namely because of these reasons...

1. The characters won't run when I push forward on the control stick, they only walk (which is annoyingly slow). They'll only run if I angle my camera to look at them sideways or from the front. In other words, it's impossible to run when I'm actually looking at where I'm going. I can only run if I'm not looking where I'm going. How retarded is that?

2. I can't zoom in on the camera to look at anything or anyone up close.

3. The camera angles just stink - period.

What's the point in calling the other characters over? They pretty much follow me whenever it's necessary to. But I can't even talk to them which is incredibly stupid seeing as how I can talk to just about everyone else.

Namely - I hate how slow and sluggish the characters run when I move them forward. It's incredibly annoying when I try to make Harry jump because I can't look straight ahead at the jump because he has to run to make the jump and I can't look straight ahead while he runs. So I have to angle the stupid camera to look at him from the side or whatever, of course as soon as he begins moving, the camera tries to force itself around to look at him from behind thus making him slow down to a walk again. And even when I can keep the stupid camera on the side, most of the time he jumps at the wrong place because I can't see where he's going, and he falls down and has to climb back up again or he fell down a bottomless chasm and starts over again.

BLEH! At least in the first two games, he could run when I pushed him to go forward.

[firebolt2000]

Okay, for the CoS PC Game, I have been doing the Rictusempra challenge again to get more points, I can't find one challenge star.....help!!

[firebolt2000]

The Sorcerer's Stone game for PC was so easy. The highlits were talking and bummping into other students and making them mad.

-Fighting with Draco Malfoy
-Quidditch
-Beatin the game.

Lol, too true. I liked the nasty Slytherins, it was so funny. Beating Voldemort was kind of hard though, because you have to use the mirror, and after you cast Flipendo on several pillars, he blows the other ones up.

[Alorra Spinnet]

If it's the one I'm thinking of you need to go down in the pit where you put the fire-crabs at the end room with all the curving ramps going up. There is a picture of Lockhart you need to cast Alhomora on and go through there and up a set of stairs.

[Vequihellin]

For anyone that is interested, I found a HP:PoA PC game walkthrough (although so far I haven't bothered to use it).

Here is the URL Ladies and Gents:

[GryffindorGuy13]

Well, I beat PoA for Gamecube, so if you need any help just yell!

[GryffindorGuy13]

And to help you all on the "Patronus chapter". Ok I had the same trouble. Expe tmine was the upper left, right when you enter the room. If we're talking about the same thing, then here we go. Ok, when your on the first platform the dementor comes, you know that already, now remember this is all from my memory so hopefully I'll get this right. Use that spell on the only one it will reach, then go left, then down, then left. And just stand there. TRUST ME it will appear. Then it's a breeze. Good luck with the Patronus, it's awsome because you can control it. Just hit the dementor three times with it and you're done! And if you have any more problems then just yell!

[firebolt2000]

Thanks, but I just found that one yesterday......
It was hard to find, especially since I saw it shining in the little window with the bars as you walk up the ramp to the Completion star....

Hi, newbie here. Just thought I'd get that out of the way and let y'all know that this is my first post in this forum before answering the question.

Pumpkin Juice, in order to beat Quirrell, you have to do the following:

(By the way, if you've already figured this out yourself, then disregard the rest of this message.)

Keep shining light on the mutated gytrashes until one billows up in that smoke-like stuff. Then run around to the front of the mirror (if you're already there, then just make sure to stay out of the way of the other gytrashes and their howls), and when Quirrell lets down that shield/ward thingy--the blue thing around him--then flippendo him. He won't be able to conjure another gytrash, so you'll be free to get rid of the rest of them. Keep doing that every time you get rid of another gytrash, and he'll soon be defeated. I can't tell you what happens next, because I don't know; I keep dying before I get the chance, and my brother beat CoS first, and my sister beat PoA first, so none of us has beaten SS yet.

I hope that helps.

[emerald eyes]

I would love some help please. :) My husband got a PS2 a few months back, but I'm not really into any of his games much. So I was thinking about possibly getting myself a HP game. Which HP game do you all recommend I start with for a PS2? Thanks for any advice/suggestions!! ;)

[SiriusBlack22]

Well emerald eyes, I would reccomend getting them in order.

-Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
-Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
-Harry Potter and the Prsioner of Azkaban

I'm sure you knew that, but just so you know. Also you can get Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup. Save the best for last : POA.

A little info on each one for you:

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone:
Kind of boring. It's easy, but pretty boring. A lot of things veer of course of the storyline, and makes it frustrating to play. Harry sounds like a 3-year-old and the graphics are kind of choppy. This is definitely the worst, but I played it so I could finish the series. The controls are easy to do as well. Rent this one, then buy it if you like it.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets:
Pretty cool. The graphics are good, the sound is okay, and the storyline is on track. Harry still sounds dumb, but it's really not that big of a deal. There's no Dobby... but the gameplay is fun. Also the controls are easy here too. This one is second-best. Buy it.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban:
The best one yet. You can play as Harry, Ron or Hermione. They sound older and the graphics are great. Strays from the storyline a little but not that bad. Hogwarts looks EXACTLY like the movie. You can fly Buckbeak around. The downside is it's really easy. Buy this one. If you want you can rent it cause you might be able to beat it pretty quickly.

Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup:
This game could've been way better if the would've put some thought into it. It's pretty fun... but I actually like the quidditch better in the other games (Games 1 and 2; 3 doesn't have any Quidditch :upset: ). Rent this one to see if you like it.

Have fun. Good choice with the PS2. Good luck with the games.

[emerald eyes]

Thanks very much SiriusBlack22! :tu: I actually didn't even know how many games there were. I just happened to see CoS at the store the other day and that's what got me thinking about it. I didn't have time to look around for what else there might be. But now that I know, yeah...I'll think I'll start at the beginning. :p

Easy is good - you should see my driving on Grand Theft Auto 3! :rotfl: My husband usually leaves the room in tears of laughter. :upset:

[SiriusBlack22]

No prob emerald. Also if anoyone needs help on POA (I played on PS2, but can still help), just ask me... :tu:

[Jillstar03]

If anyone needs help with their POA ps2 game, i can help you! I have completed the game twice.
Surprisingly though, I still haven't finished my PS1 CoS game! I find it annoying that there isn't any save points in the corridoor of Secrets, and still haven't been able to get into the Chamber! :upset:

[Paquita]

I have the PC CoS game and am unable to use the Spongify square directly to the right of the entrance to Hogwarts. The Spongify square works, but I cannot enter the location on the wall above. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to open the wall? Thanks for the help!

[Cycloneprime]

first, you have to go at the entrance of the challenge that is outside (don't remember wich one). When you face the door to that challenge, behind you there's a secret passage. Go in there and Lumos the gargoyle. That done, go and place yourself to look at the Spongify square that did'nt do nothing. Behind you there's another secret passage. Go in there. Finally, you have the press a square or something like that there to open the room where you can go with the Spongify. Hope I'm clear

[Paquita]

Thank you Cycloneprime! That worked!

honestly, i think that PoA should be rented because it goes by very quick (at least it did for me, you can beat it in a weekend). but SS (the PS2 version is much better than the PS1, there is more stuff to do) and CoS were very good. it took me a while to beat those and they are fun to play again. PoA i would wait to buy when the price goes down since it does go by really quick. Quidditch World Cup was very fun as well, i am still working on that because i want to win the World Cup with every team.

[Greyhounds15]

Me and my friend were playing my Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban game for PS2. Anyway, we're not very far and we're already stuck. We're at the Neville and the Ghoul level and we're at the Hinkypunks part. We already learned "lumos" but we can't seem to do anything after that. Help!

[Mumps]

I've completed it about 3 times on the XBOX, which should be the same.

I find that first you should activate Lumos, then run up to a Hinkypunk (visible as smoke and with a lantern), then target it to shine the light on it. Keep moving closer until it becomes solid, then flipendo it. It's not that hard to get past if you have it all worked out, but hinkypunks can be annoying.

[Greyhounds15]

Thank you!

[Jillstar03]

Who else thinks that the CoS PS1 game is much harder than the POA PS2 game?
I have had CoS since Christmas 2003, and I still haven't been able to get passed the small knights in the 3 door of the corridoor of secrets! They are worse to beat than the large 1!

[Kimmetje]

I thought the PoA game was much easier than others (PS2). I had the first one as well and that was much harder. I hated fighting the pot-fire man in the beginnig and I'm stuck at the Shrieking Shrack, does anyone know where I have to go to get out and who to use????

Hermione can do all the first part (or should I say has to since she's the only one with the needed spells)
You'll fight Malfoy almost straight away.
Go round the shieking Shack and there should be a bush that the faries go into.
Next to it is a broken statue. Use Reparo to repair (you might need to hold it down for a while before it's completly fixed). Then use Draconifors to make it set fire to the bush. Then the faries should come out. Glacius them, then use flipendo, then pick up their wings.
The next bit is pretty easy; the dementors have arrived to just use Harry to cast the patronus and guide it into the nearest demetor. After a short while Ron and Hermione will break down the gate and you can escape. (Naturally no one thought to simply climb over the fence :rolleyes: )
And then you're done!

[Joe44]

I'm stuck on the chapter when you're getting the 2nd set of potions ingrediants, i can't seem to get near the doxy eggs without getting poisoned pretty quick, and then i don't have enough cure to uncommon poisons potions left after a while... plus you can't auto target the nests, so whats the easiest way of doing it?
