There's an answer legend for those you can find in the castle. As far as I know, they're never part of a quest. 

 

I'm not going to lie, I cheated the answers to those. I decided I didn't want to consult the cheat sheet every time I found one, so I just googled the answers.

 

40 hours in and I still don't know if I've found all the doors.

 

Puzzle solution:

Spoiler

I'm pretty sure the symbols that surround each door are in numerical sequence starting at 0.

When I realized that, I thought “this is the Arithmancy Hermione wouldn’t shut up about? This is the most difficult subject at Hogwarts?”

Now that I'm so interested in this universe where is the best place to access these films? I want to watch them now.

And then you can watch Poker Face because it’s sooo good 

[TheLeon]

Damn, when did they leave HBO Max? Doesn’t matter too much to me because I have Peacock (and a Blu Ray box set, but these are movies I put on when I’m in a total funk and don’t want to get out of bed)

I got so fucking close to doing the same lmao

 

I hope Spiderman 2 knocks it out of the park because I don’t want my gaming year to peak this early!

[stepee]

There’s like a whole Hogwarts Crossing thing in here too, there is so much shit to do.

They're pretty good, and as much as I hate to give JK props, the books are even better.

 

The first two movies are straight up kids fantasy movies. Silly, magical, low stakes, friendship conquers all type stuff, but very charming and creative. I would at least watch through the 3rd movie and determine if you're going to finish the series. It takes a pretty radical turn there and is more reflective of what the IP becomes.

[johnny]

it’s kinda cool that the movies mature as the kids get older. i was watching the 6th movie not that long ago and it’s so different in a lot of ways from the first two movies.

@stepee @best3444

I have become suddenly ill at work and will have to leave immediately 

 

[Mr.Vic20]

Since I had to do that meeting it didn’t count towards my sick days  I had a bad leg night as well and just don’t feel like concentrating on anything besides witch stuff

[Biggie]

I got this new Champions Garb for winning the Crossed Wands competition and my characters ass looks amazing in it not gonna lie. 

[johnny]

when TF am i gonna learn alohomora? i looked it up and it said it’s a main quest and i guess i haven’t done that many? i’m sad every time i kill poachers and can’t free the locked up animals : (

[best3444]

I am stuck at the second main boss on the second trial. I get him down really close then die. I have it saved right there but I played 5 hours today and need a break. 

[stepee]

I beat the first trial boss, lost 10 potions but he dead

On normal so far. I’ll switch to easy if needed but so far it’s been just right.

Ok. I agree normal has been perfect for me but I need to be more strategic in my battle I'm on now. Such a great game.

 

I have peacock now and will be watching hp tonight. I checked it out and it doesn't fit my entire screen when watching. Is that normal?

The filmed aspect ratio is wider than a 16:9 television so it should be letter boxed to show it without stretching.

Yea, it's letter boxed. No biggie.

any idea why I cant grow mandrake in the room of requirement? I have a small potting table and bought the seed, but its greyed out. 

 

where it normally gives you the stats for growth time, mine just has a red exclamation and says “purchased from dogweed and deathcap

I believe those need a larger pot. You can to buy the spell craft for a larger table in Hogsmeade.

it says any size pot in the description, but I went and bought medium and large potting station and im getting the same thing 

[Biggie]

Man this game just gets better and better. The exploration is so damn good. The puzzles are just right. Not to difficult but not brain dead either.

I just plotted my mandrake and it was in a small pot so it’s something else

i tried loading and reloding. speaking to Prof Garlick. I tried the potting plant in the herbology class. no dice. its glitched and I cant get wingardium leviosa. unless I find one out in the wild i guess. 

 

or maybe I need to advance the main story more?
