Get a Card by Exchanging with a Kitten:
When you explore Hogwarts, you will meet a student that has problems with his kitten which has fallen to some kind of well. When you go to the Potions class, you will be taught to mix potions but afterwards the mysterious Proffesor Severus Snape will tell you to do something else (not included in the lesson of potions). When you enter the door, Lord Voldemort will destroy the floor your standing that will cause you to fall to an underground area. That place is the well I'm talking about. If you enter the door, the student above will request to help him find his kitten so turn left. There you'll find many boxes. Destroy it and if you see a rat kill it but if it is the kitten, let it follow you to the student. When you approach the student, you will see a light above the kitten which means that you have to use a spell on it. Use "Wingardium Leviosa" to levitate the kitten and return it to its master. Then the student will give you one of the famous Witches and Wizards cards for giving him back his kitten.
The Often Missed Card:
When you are detentioned in the Forbidden Forest, you'll see three turtles but in the third turtle, there are two ways .But follow the turtles path and kill it and get one of the famous "Witches and Wizards Cards" because if you climbed the cliff, you will see Lord Voldemort with the Unicorn and you have no other chances for getting that rare card.
More Secret Stuff:
Any bookshelf that is only coming halfway out of the wall (or much thinner than usual), walk up to it and press Square to get stuff like bean and famous witches and wizards cards.(There are many of these bookshelves in the dungeons)
Best Way to Beat the Big Plant:
Find the light-green branch and do a loaded Flipendo on it. Now find the next. Do the same. Keep repeating this until there are no branches left. Now you will have to fight the middle branch. Run around it doing normal Flipendo's. At last you will have to do a Incendio. If that is done, you have won!
Get the Broom Closet Open:
To get the broom closet open, win quiditch cup and save.
Blackfire Walk:
After you beat the troll in the forbidden corridor and go through the door that Hermoine uses Alohomora on, there will be three ( large ) cups. The middle one contains the ice potion. They start to move around and watch the middle cup closely. When it stops use your knockback jinx to hit the cup. Then a different Knight will appear. This one is harder to destroy than the others so wait until the knight spreads it's arms then use your knockback jinx to destroy it. Drink the potion and walk through the black fire.
Beat Lord Voldemort:
When you get to the 3rd part of him keep pressing X really fast or you'll die. On the 2nd part he'll fire the spell known as Avada Kavdra and it will hurt you really badly so when he does it jump out of the way.
