Carpe Retractum
When you are an advanced spell caster and are pressing the Analog-stick in the desired direction, wiggle it around that point and your Carpe Retractum spell will be faster at pulling. The best place to try this is the Prefect's Bathroom.

Defeating Voldemort
First, Jinx all Voldemort's skeletons. He will cast Abvra Cadabvra and you must move the energy ball over the skeletons. He will then pick up the grim reaper statue and make it float around. Dodge it and on about the third time it is thrown at you, it will get stuck in the ground. Move the energy ball over it, and it will lose a wing. Do this two more times and you will win.
Easy beans in Prefect's bathroom
There are many beans in this level. Almost all statues have around twelve beans in them. This is the best level to raise your bean count to buy cards. To complete the entire level you will need to know the Herbivicus spell first. Note: Use Ron because his cards are very expensive and cost more than the others.
Maximizing Wingardium Leviosa
To maximize Wingardium Leviosa after you get three shields, take the big block you find on the second level of the Forbidden Forest everywhere with you on the level. You will eventually maximize the spell. This can also work with almost any other spell.
Shield
When you need the shield to the right of the starting place, use Wingardiun Leviosa on the stone block and take it to the original starting place. Go to the right and place it. Note: The block must be under the shield or it will not work.
