The Hogwarts - beginning | Walkthrough Harry Potter OP Guide

After a few cut-scenes you'll appear at Hogwarts. Come up to standing nearby Fred and George to talk to them. You'll learn how to use Marauder's Map (aka The Most Useful Item In The Game). The map will give you a hint how to reach Hermione, who is waiting at Gryffindor Common Room. You'll run into Cho on your way.

It turns out Ron has some trouble with memory. You need to find someone from Gryffindor. Just look around. Then talk to Fat Lady. Hermione is waiting inside.

According to Hermione's instructions, use one of move spells (Accio/Depulso) to see the other side of the board. You'll find out what Discovery Points are. Examine the board and follow the map to Defence Against the Dark Arts. You'll run into Moaning Myrtle next to Reward Room.

On the bridge you'll meet Neville surrounded by bullies, but no fight this time. All you have to do is point your wand at them. Nothing more will disturb you on your way to classroom.

Fred and George are your next target. Just follow the map. Brothers will introduce two new offensive spells to you: Expelliarmus and Stupefy.

Right after finishing a short training you'll meet a student looking for a fight - this is going to be your first duel. The game tells you what to do. Start with Stupefy, then Expelliarmus (however, I prefer mass Expelliarmus).

The next step is going to the library. Use the map to find the shortest way. Hermione will suggest using the secret passage behind one of the portraits on 2nd floor - why not? The thing is, the portrait requires a password, or - more precisely - information about Rowena Ravenclaw. You may follow the map - you'll reach library, but you also can simply ask one of Ravenclaw students for the information you need and use the passage.

Sooner or later, you'll reach the library. Over there, you have to find a way to pick up the necessary book. In order to do this, cast Wingardium Leviosa on a table nearby, move it towards the bookcase and climb onto it.

Unfortunately, the book will fly away. You'll have to move the table again and again (2 times more).

Your next target is the Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom. You'll learn a new spell there - Incendio. Light up all the torches around.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to tour Hogsmeade. You land up in Gryffindor Common Room with task of finding Neville. Just use reliable Marauder's Map. When you reach him, you'll have to use Incendio to burn plant blocking the passage (a few times). Then follow Neville to the 7th floor.

After a few cut-scenes, you'll learn a new spell - Protego.
