Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Walkthrough.

By Schlave

Spells and Enchantments

There are several spells you learn in this whole game, and you can cycle round them using the L button. They come in various uses (some quite entertaining) and can be used any time, including during class or in the castle. Which quite means you can aim it at anyone...including teachers (Why? Because they are there!), but don't go firing it off at them because they'll lop some House Points off you.

Quidditch

Quidditch is a sport played on broomstick. There are several members on each team (I've forgotten their role) but some of them are Beaters, which means they swat deadly balls at you called Bludgers.

Your controls change in a game of Quidditch:
A Button : Accelerate
B Button : Swoop and dodge a Bludger
Directional keys move your broom in the way you have set them. To adjust these settings, press Start, then select "Flying Controls".

Your objective, as a Seeker, is to seek out the golden ball with wings known as the Snitch. It is golden and has wings, and is a sonovabitch of catch. To catch it involves a few stages:

Stage 1: Keeping the Snitch nearby
==================================
At first, you must wait for the Snitch to be released, then follow it. You notice it has a golden ring around it? As you draw closer, the ring shrinks. You must touch the Snitch to go to Stage 2.

Stage 2: Chasing the Snitch
===========================
Now, the screen changes a little. You've got a golden bar at the bottom of the screen, and you're supposed to chase the Snitch and go through shiny rings it leaves behind. For every ring you go through, you accelerate, and the bar fills up a little. When it fills up totally and you're close enough to the Snitch...stage 3!

Stage 3: Catching the Snitch
============================
Aha! The screen changes again. You don't have to control Harry, and your controls change again:

A Button :
Close your hand to grab the Snitch if in reach
B Button :
Close your hand to grab the Snitch if in reach

You'll see a bar in the middle of the screen, your hand on the left side and the Snitch sliding along the bar. The bar is slowly emptying of its blue zone - that means you've got limited time! When it's at your hand, press A or B to grab! Time it right, or you'll return to stage 1!

Grabbed it? Ta-da! You win! Congratulations, well done!
