Question: I have a game in English. Is there any way to switch it to another language?

– Large hall – on one of the tables (form)
– Entrance to the viaduct – on the floor next to the closet (newspaper)
– The courtyard of the Clock Tower – near the fountain (boots)

Question: Where are all the talking gargoyles that are asked to find One?
Answer:
– Viaduct, entrance from the Main courtyard
– Fourth floor, loggia above the portrait of a clown
– Paved courtyard, against the wall on the right in the corner on the veranda
– A platform in the middle of the stairs leading to ZOTI’s office
– Transfiguration courtyard, next to a tree

– Portrait next to the Rescue room (“Three-faced”)
This portrait wants you to find his other self. We go down to the fourth floor. We walk through the corridors and find a portrait covered with cobwebs. We use the Incendio to tear the cobwebs from the picture. Let’s talk to the portrait to find out the password.

– Portrait of a man in a red shirt on the fourth floor of a Moving staircase
Just like that, he won’t tell you the password, for this you will have to run around pretty much.
So, at the first stage, we go to the seventh floor and ask for a portrait near the Rescue Room. He will send you to Professor Basil Fronzak – this is a portrait of an English professor, a big fan of the Ravenclaw faculty from a Moving staircase, his second portrait (which in this case will not work) is in the corridor near Flitwick’s office. We’ll talk to him, and the next destination is a portrait of a shepherdess, which is located on the stairs near the Herbology office/Herbology. After talking with her, we will get another clue – a portrait at the entrance to the viaduct. We run to the specified portrait (on the right under the stairs). We talk to him, and once again we will be sent on. This time we will have a conversation with a portrait of an eternally drunk man with a dog hanging on a moving staircase. Despite the amount of alcohol, the portrait will remember the password! We return to the portrait in the red shirt and call the password.

– Portrait of a clown in the library
This portrait wants to know the title of the headline from The Daily Prophet. We go to the Big Hall where students do their homework. If lighted candles are floating on the ceiling, we approach Dumbledore’s pulpit and pronounce Depulso to put them out. Now we direct the wand to the pulpit and pronounce the Accio to summon the postal owls to the hall…

…one of them will drop the package with the “Daily Prophet”. We pick it up, read the title and run to inform the portrait.

– Portrait in the Slytherin dungeon.
The portrait guarding the entrance to the enemies’ lair will not tell you the password just like that, so we go to the Gryffindor bedroom. We put on the invisibility cloak and descend into the dungeon. In the corridor next to the portrait we will see two Slytherin students. They’re just about to walk through the portrait. We go after them and eavesdrop on the password. We return to the Gryffindor bedroom, take off the cloak and go down into the dungeon again. To pass through the portrait, we call the password twice, since the first time the lady will pretend that she just didn’t notice you.

– Portrait with memory lapses in the corridor of the third floor
After talking to him, it turns out that the last time the password was pronounced fifty years ago. Where would we get an eyewitness of those days? Maybe a Crybaby Myrtle will do? We look for Myrtle’s toilet on the map and hit the road. We’ll talk to Myrtle, and she’ll remember the password. We return to the portrait and refresh his memory.

Question: How to play Traditional Gobstone?
Answer: The winner is the one who knocks out more stones from the circle.
Located in the Main Courtyard, next to the Large Hall. The opponent is a Hufflepuff player.

Tactics:
– As soon as the game starts, without moving the ball, we launch it as hard as possible, then one ball will definitely roll out of the circle, then the main thing is to knock out one ball for each turn, as an imaginary, an odd number of moves, so without making a single empty move, you can win.
– It should be noted that the opponent never takes risks and knocks out only one ball, rarely two, and then by chance, therefore, at least once or twice during the game you can try to knock out two balls at once.
– It is better to hit the balls that are closer to ours or closer to the center so that your ball does not fly out of line.
—

Question: How to play Jack Gobstone?
Answer: The goal is to roll your stone closer to the Jack stone than the opponent.
It is located in the courtyard of the Clock Tower. The opponent is a Ravenclaw player.

Tactics:
– Our goal (unlike the official one) here is not to roll our ball closer to Jack, but to knock out the opponent’s stones as far as possible, beyond the circle, even sacrificing our own, but the first stone should be knocked out the opponent’s stone in this way so that ours stays in the circle.
– Whose stone is closer to the stone-Jack shows a green glow.
—

Question: How to play Snake Pit (Snake Pit)?
Answer: The goal is to roll your stone closer to the hole than the opponent.
Is located in a paved courtyard. The opponent is a Slytherin player.

Tactics:
– Similarly to the previous one, we knock out the opponent’s stones outside the circle with strong blows, even sacrificing our own (so the game will go faster), but the first stone needs to knock out the opponent’s stone so that ours remains next to the hole.
– Whose stone is closer to the hole shows a green glow.
—

Question: How to play with the Hogwarts champion?
Answer: The goal is to win three rounds in a row.
