Hint: Defeating Peeves
When facing Peeves in Restricted section of the library, use a full force Flipendo spell on him first to make him hide in armor suits. When he hides, immediately use a full force Flipendo spell on the armor suit where he hides. It will be destroyed. Be careful, as it sometimes gives off Dungbombs which costs 3 points of life. Repeat the steps, as there are four armor suits. When all are destroyed, use a full force Flipendo spell again on Peeves until he gives up.
Hint: Defeating The Basilisk
Have the selected spell as Inciendio. This should do more damage than Flipendo. When you enter the chamber, Fawks should "take" his eyes, making him blind. When he goes in a circle, continuously cast Inciendio. Make sure he does not touch you, or you will be poisoned. Watch out when he makes rocks come down and dodge his spit. This may take awhile, but you will eventually defeat him.
Hint: Floo Powder
When in the leaky cauldron, go into the room by the furnace and pull the lever found in the room. Then, go out of the room. Go to the west side of the store. Pull the lever and the bookcase will open. Go inside the room and open the chest. You will obtain the Floo Powder. Take it to Ron and you will go to Hogwarts.
Hint: Gemstones to open the door
Gemstone 1: In the first chest box near the slugs.

Gemstone 3: In the box next to the switch that activates the crushers.

When you jump into the air by pressing R, you should be in the spell-casting position. The spell should fire as soon as you hit the ground.
