Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Cheats & Tips

go into the great hall use accio or wingardium Leviosa on the stand and owls will fly down and drop it for the password for the man in the library

cast riparo on all the broken objects and you will get 3 blue sparklys every time you cast it on a broken object

If you ever feel like fighting a Slytherin, aim your wand at them by using R1. They will try to run away, but if you cast a spell at them, you will enter a wizard's duel. Note that this only works in the courtyards.

You can also hit people from other Houses with spells, but they will not duel you, no matter where you are. Freezing them and/or hoisting them up by their ankle is pretty fun, though!

Lots of people have problems with getting 100% in certain areas. Before you look up a guide, though, make sure you have used all possible spells on every target-able surface, and examined them as well. Some Discovery Points can be obtained only through a series of events and spells.

Keep pressing X when on a wall or pipe to go faster!
But when going down a pipe just hold X.

i caught it by accident, i was chasing it around the room for ages before!
simply just put the invisibility cloak on and stand in the middle of the room and the snitch will fly into you! Easy!

If you like hurting people on games. Use Wingardia Leviosia on items (E.G Tables, Benches)
And throw them around hurting people! Use the Table in the Libary Use The Mauruders Map on the game or in the packet!

Here are where you can find Luna Lovegood's Belongings.

1.In the Library on the table.

2.In the Entrance Courtyard. Use Wingardium Leviosa on the broom and sweep the leaves on the right side of the courtyard. You will find some Hogwarts symbols in each corner as well.

3.In the Clock Tower Courtyard directly in front of the Fountain.

4.In the Viaduct Entrance in front on the bookcase next to the stuttering portrait.

5.In the Great hall on the table.

To move faster when climbing up or down drainpipes or moving along ledges use the run buntton (X) and Harry will move faster. Especially when climbing down the drainpipes he will just slide down like a fireman!!!

While in Grimmauld Place, head upstairs to the room where Ron and Hermione are and you will see Hedwig on a perch. Walk up to her and press Square for a secret cutscene.

In the griffindor common room you heard some shouting "Hey You" it is a seeker painting near the door on the left of the door behind the big chair. wingrdium leviosa the big chair out of the way and place the table there instead. Talk to the seeker.....He has lost his snitch so go talk to the old man opposite you he will wake up and the seeker will then get his snitch...for this you get quite a few discovery points for it

If you are trying to interact witha sleeping portrait, it means that you're at the wrong end of the shortcut and to interact with it you need to get to the other end.

Here are the locations of the talking gargoyles:

1. In the Transfiguration Courtyard where Dean is who asks you to find the talking Gargoyles for Proffesor Binns homework.

2. On the Defence Against The Dark Arts staircase near the stairs that lead to the Second Floor.

3. In the Paved Courtyard go up the stairs (using Reparo first if you haven't already repaired them)
and the gargoyle is at the very end.

4. On the Fourth Floor where you go outside onto the terrance and turn left and the gargoyle is at the end.

5. It is near the Entrance Courtyard go out onto the Viaduct and you see the gargoyle.

Hope that helps!

While recruiting for the DA, the Teachers' side quests will be unlocked. Complete these easy tasks to unlock that teacher's class.

Professor McGonagall
Location: Transfiguration Courtyard

Go to the Divination Tower and speak to the two first-years at the bottom.
Then, return to Professor McGonagall.

-----------------------------------------

Professor Sprout
Location: Herbology

Head to the Room of Requirement and have a chat with Neville. He will tell you to go to the Boy's Dormitory. Do so, and get the book he asked for.
Finally, go back to Professor Sprout.

-----------------------------------------

Professor Flitwick
Location: Charms Class

This time you need to get a book for Hermione, but it's not in the Library (Don don don...)
Just go to the Great Hall and a girl on the left-hand table will have it.

-----------------------------------------

Easy

If you water (shiny stuff which looks like metal thats in the Room Of Requiement) find a mop and wipe it up. There is one in the Defence Against The Dark Arts. So go to the top and you will see some luggage and a mop so use Wingardium Leviosa on the mop and keep dropping it down the stairs.

There is one in the Entrance Hall near the statue.
So go over to the cupboard on the left (thats open) and use Wingardium Leviosa on the mop and wipe up the water. Every time you wipe on of the pudddles up you get discovery points and each one means you have tided up Hogwarts.

Hello everybody!

This is how you really catch the Snitch:

GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM:
1. Once you hear a voice calling "Hey! You!", turn over to look at the right side of the fireplace. The voice is coming from the painting behind the chair.

2. Aim at the chair. Cast Wingardium Leviosa, and Levitate it away from the painting.

3. Aim at a table, cast Wingardium Leviosa. Move it into the wall of the painting. Climb up on the table, talk to the painting [SQUARE].

4. He tells you his Snitch is missing; it's in the painting of an old man, left of the staircases up to the dormitorys. Press action-button[SQUARE] while facing the portrait, and here we goo - cutscene.

5. Climb up on a table, and press [SQUARE] and release, repeat again and again as fast as you can until you've examined the Snitch.

This is a REALLY useful trick.

While in an undiscovered place, hold down Circle to look around in First-Person.

As you pan around, you will get hints to what objects need to be interacted with.

While facing a key object the Controller will vibrate, making Discovery Points a lot easier to get!!!
