Hidden in Weasley Fireworks
----------------------------
There are five hidden in fireworks that require Incendio to light them,
and then Repairo to fix them.  These show up after Slughorn's party.
The five locations are:

#1  Center of Clock Courtyard

#2  Hufflepuff Training Grounds by dueling board

#3  On path towards owlery, take the right fork that goes down to head
    towards cave.  On the right, there is a fireworks box.

#4  Slytherin Courtyard, on the second floor.

#5  On the gravel path, between the Boathouse and the Castle.


Helping Tasks by Lion Statues
------------------------------
There are 10 lion statues that you talk to by pressing A in front of
them.  They suggest that you help someone in order to get the crest
that they are holding.  You'll know if you finished this one because
the crest will be gone after you pick it up.  You can only do one task
at a time.  Some tasks require abilities or spells, so you may have
to wait to do them.  You MIGHT have to do some lions before others,
but I am not sure.  Look for a person or persons close by to help.  Press A
to talk to them to start the task.  After finishing the task, return
to that person and press A again.  Potion tasks require you to go to
the Potions Club to use their equipment and ingredients.

Crests Embedded on Stone Walls
-------------------------------
Numerous crests are mounted or embedded on stone walls.  If you need to get
one, you will notice that it sparkles or emits sparks.  After retrieving
one, that location will no longer sparkle.  To get it down, you will need
to throw something at it like an urn, boulder or bench.  Use Wingardium
Leviosa to float the object and then flick the remote to throw the object.
Some areas are harder and require you to move closer or further back.  In
addition, the object you are throwing may need to be closer to further to
the crest in order to hit it properly.  There are 39 of these crests.  Note that
there are some special wall crests noted in a next section that require
more magic spells to get them.
