A guide is available for the crests, so if you follow it you should be able to get the all of them in about 2 hours.

Semi – Story related. You will unlock all of the portraits during the game, however you will not be forced through them. You must go through the portraits all of the way to get the achievements. There are 4-5 of them. You will definitely get this when exploring Hogwarts looking for crests. Also if you follow Nick he will often lead you through shortcuts.

Always collect mini - crests as you go through the game will need around 25000 to obtain all of the crests. By using Depulso when the light is brightest you will get more mini – crests out of objects. You will also be able to make a few while using the Felix potion, as you will always get max mini – crests. To get the crests out of the Lion Statues you will need to do tasks for the people in the area of the statue. I would wait until the end of the game, not collecting many crests as you complete the game, and then strategically find the crests by going down the list of places and searching them fully before moving on.

CLUB ACHIEVEMENTS

 

Some club achievements are easy while others will require skill and perseverance. Things like getting full stars on all potions will be hard and truly take practice, but keep at it and hopefully you will get most of these.

 

 

POTIONS TIPS

 

Do not over heat, stir or pour. Stop the pouring / stirring a second or two early so as to get more points and not risk the possibility of over doing it. Try to make the potions as quick as you can without messing up. Practice will be helpful as some of the potions are rather tricky to make, especially later on in the game.

 

 

Potions Club Star - 10 points

Earn the Potions Club Star Badge

 

To obtain this achievement you must get top mark in 3 different potions. This is really not that hard and I got this without trying. Just try to do the potion fast and without messing up.

Speedy Brewer Badge - 10 points

Earn the Speedy Brewer Badge

 

This is a little tricky as you must finish a potion in under 35 seconds. The wit sharpening potion is suggested for this achievement.

 

 

Potions Club Veteran - 20 points

Earn the Potions Club Veteran Badge

 

You must complete every potions challenge in the potions club. For this you will need to collect the 11th level of crest collection so that you may unlock the love potion.

 

Master Potioneer - 50 points

Earn the Master Potioneer Badge

 

This will be a time consuming achievement as you will need to get 5 stars on all of the potions available to make. Patience is the key.

 

 

Duelling Tips

 

Duelling is the easiest thing in this game if you know what to do, however if you don’t you can be combo’d to pieces. What you should do is at first block and keep blocking until they start charging a spell. Then when they are, throw a Levicorpus or Petriicus Totalus.

 

Duelling is not real hard before you have unlocked these two spells. After they are stunned, Stupefy their bodies for a while until they wiggle a few times and you think they will break out of the spell soon. Charge a Stupefy at this point and wait for 3 or preferably the 5x to charge. AS SOON as their feet touch the ground, throw the charge Stupefy at them and they will go to the ground. Then batter them with endless amounts of Stupefys.

 

 

Reflex Badge - 10 points

Duelling Veteran - 20 points

Get top ratings in 10 different duels.

 

 

Flying Tips

 

There is really not much to say. All you must do is practice and try to hit the dummies (for extra time) and go through the center of the stars (for extra points).

 

 

Combo Flyer Badge - 10 points

Earn the Combo Flyer Badge

Fly through 20 hoops in a row. It is pretty easy.

 

 

Precision Flyer Badge - 10 points

Earn the Precision Flyer Badge

 

Fly through every star in an event. This is not too tricky, just take it slow

 

Keen Flyer Badge - 20 points

Earn the Keen Flyer Badge

 

For this achievement you must do every Quidditch event. You must do all of the events from the board and from the club menu at the title screen.

 

Master of Flying - 50 points

Earn the Master of Flying Badge

 

This will be time consuming as you must get 5 stars on all flying events. This means you must fly through the middle of every star but a few on each event. Flying through the middle of the star will get you more point and will make a noise telling you that it has been done.
