 | New Characters |
|
Vincent Crabbe He’s one of Draco’s dense sidekicks. Ron impersonates him when he and Harry question Draco Malfoy. Dobby
Argus Filch Hogwarts’ caretaker is a cranky old man who hates all the students at the school. His cat, Mrs. Norris, wanders the hallways and alerts him psychically if someone wanders into the off-limits areas. Some think he’s such a grouch because he’s a squib (someone born into a wizard family but unable to practice magic). Gregory Goyle Big and dumb, Goyle follows Draco Malfoy around Hogwarts and acts as a kind of henchman for him. Malfoy once told him: “If you were any slower, you’d be going backward.” At one point in the story, Harry disguises himself as Goyle to learn what Malfoy knows about the Chamber of Secrets. |
Gilderoy Lockhart
Moaning Myrtle She’s a ghost who haunts a girls’ bathroom on the second floor of the Hogwarts castle. Her untimely demise has a connection to the Chamber of Secrets. Madame Pomfrey Every school has a nurse, and Madame Pomfrey fills that role at Hogwarts. She’s the one who takes care of all the students who turn to stone during the story. Why they turn to stone is a matter for you to figure out. Tom Marvolo Riddle What is his connection to the terrible Lord Voldemort? Here’s a hint: his name is an anagram. Ginny Weasley Ron’s younger sister plays a larger role in this story than the last one. She has a bit of a crush on Harry. Oliver Wood This Quidditch fanatic leads the Gryffindor team, which Harry plays on. |
| New Creatures |
|
Arogog All sorts of nasty spiders roam the Forbidden Forest, which lies outside the Hogwarts castle grounds. Arogog is one of the biggest and nastiest of them all. He was actually raised by Hagrid, but now he lives in the forest with his wife and spider children. Basilisk You’ll have to finish the game to learn what this creature is. Bowtruckles These forest creatures look like living pieces of bark. Cast a Rictusempra (a stun charm) spell on them to get some Wiggentree Bark, which is one of the ingredients needed for Wiggenweld potions. Cornish Pixies You’ll find these flighty creatures flitting around the castle and other spots around Hogwarts. Use Rictusempra to stun them. Ectoplasm Not quite a monster, ectoplasm is the luminous green gunk left behind by supernatural creatures such as ghosts. Cast Skurge, which works well against anything supernatural, to get rid of it. If you touch it, you’ll lose a lot of health. |
Fire Crabs Use Rictusempra on them and then knock them back by casting Flipendo. Giant Orange Snails Attack them the same way you would the crabs. The bigger ones require two hits. Gnomes These annoying creatures inhabit every nook and cranny of the Hogwarts grounds. You can hit them with a Flipendo spell to get a few of the Bertie Botts’ Every Flavor Beans that they carry. Don’t get too close to them or they will try to steal the Beans you’re carrying. To get rid of them permanently, throw them into a gnome hole. Imps Use Rictusempra on these nasty little beasts. Norklup Mushrooms/Venoumous Tentaculas Cast Diffindo (a cutting spell) to disable these plant-like creatures. |
