Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Crest Locations

Introduction
On Hogwarts, there are a total of 150 crests to collect.
25 of those you get by collecting mini-crests.
You need a total of 25000 mini crests.
You can get these crests by casting Depulso on glowing objects.
The other 125 crests are hidden on Hogwarts and for you to find.
I am trying my best to describe the locations.

There are several ways to collect crests:
#       Some are lying on the ground. Just walk over them.
#       Some are out of reach but visible.
       Cast Wingardium Leviosa.
#       Some are on a plateau on the wall or are hold by a statue.
       Cast Wingardium Leviosa on a nearby object,
       like a bench or flowerpot, and knock them of there position.
#       Some lay broken  on the floor. Cast Reparo.
#       Some are stuck in or behind a plant.
       Cast Incendio to set them free.
#       Some are behind a gate. Cast Depulso to break them.
       Then Wingardium Leviosa to get them through the gate.
       Then Reparo to fix them.
#       Some are behind a spider web.
       Cast Incendio on the web and Wingardium Leviosa on the crest.

There are also lion statues who are holding a crest. You have to
complete a sort of mini quest to set it free. This can be a duel or
making a potion. There are 10 of these lion statues to find.

There are also specific banners hanging from the ceiling. You have to
hit these banners, a couple on a row, to  release the crest.
There are 5 of these banner runs.

Then there are firework boxes. Set them of with Incedio to release
the crest. Then cast Reparo to fix it. There are 5 firework boxes to find.
