There are 24 levels for this game, and each one has four crest pieces to be found. One for each house at Hogwarts, Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. About half of the crests can be found in story mode, while the rest will have to be gained in free play when you have other characters unlocked or able to toggle through.
Year 1: The Philospher's Stone
The Magic Begins
Destroy the two low tables either end of the bar by using Wingardium Leviosa on the candles on the tables, then rebuild them into picture frames. When the frames are built the crest will appear, but you will need to use Wingardium Leviosa on the bar stools, so they create a ramp for you to jump of to get the crest. (Hagrid is best for this)

Find the brown barrel near the start of Diagon Alley, with brooms in it. Use Wingardium Leviosa to tip out the brooms, then build it into a sweeper ride-along. When you have made the potion outside Gringotts, ride the sweeper over the green mess that was left behind from the potion. When all green blobs have gone, the crest will appear.
When you reach Gringotts bank, go right to the back of the entrance hall and use Reducto on the metal padlock locking the gate. When the gate is open, use a strong character to pull the lever and the dragon will disappear, leaving the crest behind.
Out of the Dungeon
- The first two are at the start of the level, either side of the rune cabinet.
- The next two are next to, and above, the cabinet you get the yellow and blue bricks from to reach the ledge above.
- Two more can be found on the other side of the fountain.
- The last three are at the far end of the dungeon. One beside the door to the bathroom and two more towards the screen, either side of the red armchair.
Half way down the first corridor of the level you will come across a fountain. In front of the fountain there are three orange fish on the ground. Use Wingardium Leviosa to place each one in the fountain and the crest will appear.
About half way down the corridor you will come to a fountain. Use Reducto on the silver valve on the front of the fountain, then use Wingardium Leviosa to turn the valve. The fountain will turn on and reveal the crest.
Throughout the level there are seven small round lamps, high up on the walls. Use Wingardium Leviosa on all seven and they will light up. Whn you have lit the last one, you will get the crest. The first four can be found throughout the corridor, and the last three are in the girl’s bathroom.
A Jinxed Broom
When you reach the point where you must build lego bricks into a staircase (just before the animal run), you will be able to see the crest up above you. To get this one, I usually build the bricks up to the left first, instead of the right, and jump off towards the screen to reach it.
When you reach the animal run, look above it and you will see some metal bars blocking off a small area. Remove these bars using Reducto to reveal a couple of pixies. Use Immobilus on the pixies to find the crest behind them.
When you reach the second lot of lego bricks that you build into stairs, do not leave through the exit. Instead, walk along a bit more until your way is blocked. Remove what you can, then jump round the barrier blocking your way, Walk along a little further and use Dark Magic on the barrel holding the crest piece.
- Beside you at the start of the level.
- Below your starting point near the edge.
- On the edge after crossing the broken stands on a broomstick
- Near the start of the animal run.
- To the right of the animal run
- After using an axe to clear some wood out of your way, you will see a flag near the edge.
- Near the second lot of lego bricks you build into stairs.
The Restricted Section
In the first part of the restricted section there is a run cabinet at the back of the room, beside the large witch statue on the left. Use a book carrying character, such as Hermione of Dumbledore, to open the rune cabinet and the crest will appear.
In the final area of the level you will find youself in a room with the Mirror of Erised and three spider webs. Hit each web to knock the spider off and onto the floor. When you’ve hit the third one, the crest will appear.
Throughout the level there are six grey vases that you need to find. Four of them are in the first part of the level and two of them are in the second. When you find each vase, hit them with a spell to put flowers in them.
In the first part of the library, use the large statue on the right to jump up onto the ledge above. Hit the bookcase with some magic to knock it over, then use dark magic to remove the spiderweb and destroy the plants behind it to reveal the crest.
The Forbidden Forest
Some way through the level you will come to a small island that you need to swim to. Dig it up so the water drains, then use Wingardium Leviosa to place the 6 small orange fish lying on the floor, into the small amount of water that remains. The crest will then appear on the island.
From the start of the level you need to look for ten small black rocks that can only be destroyed using dark magic. Find each rock and use a dark magic character, such as Snape, and destroy all ten to get the crest.
- The first is near the front of the screen beside some Devil’s Snare, opposite the student in peril
- This one is above the student in peril, on the ledge.
- After climbing the ladder, walk forward a short distance and the rock is hidden behind a bush near the front of the screen.
- After going through the hole uncovered by an animal, walk forward a little way and you will see the rock near more devil’s snare.
- Number five is right beside the lego bricks you must build into stairs
- The next one is at the base of the ramp you can use to get out of the large pool of water, but you must drain it first to get to it.
- After crossing the bridge you made by pulling the strong lever, you will find the rock at the base of a tree, slightly above you.
- From the base of the tree above, walk towards the screen (without falling off) and you will find another rock.
- Walk around the tree base where you found number six, and you will see your next rock tucked between some roots.
- Keep heading right form the last one and you will reach a tree trunk. Towards the screen from that trunk is the last rock.
Through the level there are 3 yellow flowers. The first is next to the student in peril at the start of the level, the second one can be found when you climb the second ladder to the level above, the final flower can be found just under a wasps nest just a short way after the second one.
After you have drained the water from the large pool, walk to the far right hand corner of this are, close to the screen, and you will find a large chest. Use Reducto to smash the lock on the chest and it will open, giving you the crest.
Face of the Enemy
After falling through the trapdoor and getting past Fluffy, you will find yourself surrounded by Devil’s Snare. Use Lumos to remove the large vines covering a chest behind you. Then use Reducto to break open the chest and the crest is yours.
When you reach the room with the flying keys, you must use Reducto to break 10 keys which are not holding the large key. If you are having trouble hitting them from the ground, you will need to use the broom and jump onto strategic ledges so you can use Reducto, because you cannot cast Reducto on the broom.
When you reach the chess board, walk onto the board and move towards the screen so you are standing on the edge. Lying down in front of the chess board is a black chess piece. Use dark magic on the black chess piece to collect the crest.
When you reach the chess board, check the area behind the board to find a silver chest. Use Reducto to break open the chest and a knight chess piece will jump out of it. Hop onto the knight and you will be thrown up into the air, allowing you to collect the crest.
Year 2: The Chamber of Secrets
Face of the Enemy
- An archery target
- The washing machine
- The shed
- The car bonnet
- The pond
- The basketball hoop
In Borgin & Burkes (the dark wizard shop you come to after the Burrow), there is a chest on the far left that will bite you if you approach it. Hit it with a spell to knocks its teeth out, then open it and jump inside. You will land next to a large ball that needs a dark wizard to break it open.
In the garden, next to the front door, build the tractor then get into it and drive over 7 carrots around the garden. When you have pulled up all 7 carrots, use Wingardium Leviosa on each of them to launch them for the crest.
In Knockturn Alley, after leaving the shop, you will encounter a large spider. After you have disposed of it, use Wingardium Leviosa to move the wood on your left and make a set of stairs to your right. Finally, use dark magic to open the gate and get the blue crest.
Dobby’s Plan
In the second part of the Quidditch stands, there are two portraits that must be hung and interacted with. However, you can only use a Slytherin to interact with them (or Snape or Dumbledore). The first one is on the right hand side of the bridge that the pixies are playing with and blocking your path. The portrait is curled up, above where the bridge is, on the right. The second one is behind the barrel that Dobby is hiding in.
Raise the flags for each house. Gryffindor and Ravenclaw are either side of you as soon as you start the level. Slytherin and Hufflepuff’s flags can be found next to the large purple weight you must use to leave this part of the level.
Find 4 small flags in barrels and hit each one with a spell. The first one can be found to the left of the ladder you descend at the start of the level. The second one is in the corner after you bounce up from a spring-board near the start of the level, just before you reach Dobby for the first time. The third flag is just around the corner from the pixies you need to get rid of. The final flag can be found to the right of the ladder that Dobby uses when you are chasing him, just before leaving this part of the level)
Crabbe & Goyle
As soon as you enter the slytherin common room you will see a large black ball on your character’s left. It looks like an over-sized golf ball. Use a dark magic character, such as Snape, to break it open and get the crest from inside.
After leaving the bathroom, you will find yourself in the dungeon, outside the Slytherin Common Room. Near the front of the screen there is some water with three orange fish lying on the ground next to it. Put the fish into the water and the crest will float out behind you.
When inside the common room you will find 6 lamps that you can light with Wingardium Leviosa. Some of them are a bit high up and cannot be seen unless you are looking for them. The first four are in the first sitting area, while the other two are at the back of the second seating area.
Tom Riddle’s Diary
In the second part of Riddle’s Diary, you will find 3 radios which need to be hit by magic to turn them on. The first is next to the switch you press to move the stairs. The second is next to the moving bookcase that can be turned to move on, the final radio if to the right of the exit for the level, (the arches).
In the bathroom at the start of the level, there is a small locked chest. Use Reducto to open it and a plunger will come out. You can jump onto the plunger and ride it around the room. Find five puddles of water on the floor and jump on each one until you have cleaned it up. When you’ve removed all five puddles you will get the crest.
In the second half of the level, walk down the corridor and towards the screen. Here you will find a chest with a large silver padlock on it. Use Reducto on the padlock to break it open the crest will pop out for you to collect.
Follow the Spiders
Throughout the level there are ten plants that need to be cleared using Wingardium Leviosa. The plants are brown and white with many shoots sticking up. They can be found in the following locations.
- To the left of the start of the level, near a wasp nest.
- At the start of the level after using the ride-along to reach the ledge above.
- The third is near the tree you knock down to make a bridge. Walk towards the screen to see it.
- The fourth is just after crossing the tree bridge.
- The next one is also just after crossing the bridge but you must walk towards the screen to see it.
- You will find the nest two after crossing the water on the broomstick. One can be soon as soon as you jump off, the other you will find towards the screen
- The eighth one is at the foot of the ladder that the pixies steal the rungs form.
- Numbers nine and ten can be found next to the tree the pixies are shaking at the end of this area.
When you are fighting Aragog, head to the left side of the screen and you will find a large black ball (sort of like a large golf ball). You need to use dark magic on the ball to break it open and get the crest from inside.
When you have crossed the water on the broomstick, build the ramp for the pier and stand on it. If you are far enough down the ramp you will be able to use Reducto on the silver gate half way across the water. This will cause some frogs and plants to appear. Jump onto a frog and swim between each pair of plants as they appear. When you reach the end the crest will appear.
The Basilisk
When fighting the Basilisk, after Fawkes has brought the sorting hat in, three instruments will appear around the room. You can find each one in front of one of the walls the Basilisk broke. There is a trumpet, a violin and an accordion. Build the violin and accordion and use Wingardium Leviosa on all three to make them play.
When you first enter the Chamber of Secrets, you need to find four animal dig spots. Switch to a dig character, such as Fang or Neville, and dig up all four of them to get the crest. You can find each of the dig spots in the following locations:
- Just south of your starting point in the chamber
- North-west of the last one
- After sticking the plunger int he giant squid and getting to the ledge above, just before you cross the bridge is the next dig spot.
- After you cross the bridge you will find the last dig spot
While you are fighting the Basilisk at the end of the level, on the left side of the room there is a small drain up on the wall. Use Reducto to open it then build the bricks that come out of it into a clock. This will make the crest appear so you can collect it.
Year 3: The Prisoner of Azkaban
News from Azkaban
In the second carriage of the train (at night), you will come across and animal run. The entrance to the run is blocked by some parcels. When you have moved them, jump onto them and jump up to find the crest hidden in the roof of the carriage.
When you are on the platform, before boarding the train, you can find 5 small red parcels that need to be hit with magic. The first one is beside a bench with a red and green wizard on. The second can be found behind a large chest with a dark magic padlock on it. A third can be found beside two large suitcase at the end of the platform, each with a person sat on it, and the fourth is just in front of them. The final parcel is the other side of the revolving turnstile, behind the large black suitcase.
During the second part of the train, at night, you will fins 5 Slytherin suitcases. If you approach them, they will bite you. You need to hit each one with a spell. The first can be plainly seen as soon as you enter the second carriage, with the second one almost immediately after that. The third case is at the end of this carriage, next to the red case holding a pickaxe. The fourth case is to the right of the window you must cover using Hermione’s rune reading ability. The final one can be found in the same carriage as the last, just before you reach the Harry and the Dementors at the end.
Hogsmeade
When you have shifted the large snowball containing Malfoy and his cronies from the entrance to the Three Broomsticks, head down to where they landed and have a strong character pull the lever just above them and the crest will appear.
- Two either side of the entrance to the level
- One on the wall just past the first Devil’s Snare plant that you need to pass using Lumos
- When moving the small platforms to cross a gap, when you are at the half way point and need to reuse the platforms, look down behind you (on the halfway ledge) and the web is there.
- When you reach the 1000kg weight. Move towards the screen as best you can and look on the wall opposite (where you are trying to get to). It is quite near the screen and will need targeting to find.
- Two more can be found after crossing the bridge you made with the 1000kg weight.
- After crossing the ledges you made using the burning torches on the Devil’s Snare, you can find a web above the Dark Magic ball.
- The last two can be found just before you climb the ladder up into Honeydukes.
In the first part of Hogsmeade town, you will find three brown owls roosting on perches. Hit each one and it will fly up and remove a bar, releasing Lego bricks onto the street below. Build these bricks into a snowman then hit it with magic to reveal the crest.
Mischief Managed
After leaving the roof of the castle and going into another corridor, you will find a portriat of a Slytherin holding the crest. Have a Slytherin character, or Snape, or Dumbledore, interact with the portrait and it will give you the crest.
Find five gold suits of armour and destroy them. The first is at the start of the level, right beside you. The second can be found after opening the first door with the two large keys. The third is just round the corner from the last one. The last two are in the large room at the end of this corridor, either side of the exit.
The Shrieking Shack
In the final stage of the level, after the shrieking shack, you will find yourself outside. Out here there are 5 large black balls that you will need to break open with dark magic.
- The first is next to the mandrake.
- Go down a small hill and the next one is at the bottom
- Just east of the last one
- After climbing the ladder made by the Bowtruckles, it is right in front of you.
- Just to the left of the mushroom you build to reach Sirius and Lupin.
At the final stage of the level, when you are back outside, you will start beside an animal dig spot. Use it to dig up a glass case. Continue on a little way through the level, but take note of where the mandrake is. When you reach the area where you must dig up Bowtruckles to make a ladder, you will find an earmuff cupboard. Use Reducto to break the lock and grab a pair of earmuffs. Now go back and pick up the Mandrake, then break open the glass case.
Dementor’s Kiss
When you have filled the ditch up with water, a frog will jump into it and two plants will grow. You need to ride the frog between the two plants and two more will appear a little way ahead of you. Move the frog between each pair of plants as they appear and the crest will appear at the end.
At the start of the level, in Hagrid’s garden, there is a small green bird in a cage on the left. Use Reducto to break open the cage and the bird will drop the crest next to Buckbeak.
The Dark Tower
When you go into Hogwarts, and reach the end of the corridor, use Griphook to open the safe before you go back outside.
From the start of the level there are 5 small lanterns dangling from poles. Hit each one with magic. The first one is right beside you when you start. The second one is near the first frozen wall you come to, and it is also frozen. Use Wingardium Leviosa on it to turn it on and melt the ice. When it is melted, hit it once to spin it. The third and fourth ones are also frozen and will need turning onto to melt them before you can hit them. The third one is half way across the bridge, just after melting the wall blocking your way, and the fourth one is across the bridge entirely, beside a frozen fountain. The final crest can be found after using the large flowers to get up to the ledge above.
Year Four: The Goblet of Fire
The Quidditch World Cup
On the right hand side of the campsite, just above the book you need the invisibility potion for, is a fairly large tent with Black doors. Use dark magic to break them open and go inside for the crest.
When the campsite has been destroyed and you have moved the car blocking your way, head South and you will find a pile of metal objects. Destroy them, then have an animal dig up a Ravenclaw portrait. Naturally, you need to use a Ravenclaw character to interact with the portrait to get the crest.
Dragons
After crossing the bridge of Lego bricks that you make, and going down the ramp, you will see a crate with silver padlocks on it. Use Reducto to break them open, then use Wingardium Leviosa on the crate to empty out it’s contents. Build the bricks that fall out, into a small dragon and it will release the crest for you.
When you have sorted out the third dragon, you will see a skeleton up on the wall behind the gate the dragon opened. Use dark magic to release the skeleton, then Wingardium leviosa to animate it, and it will get you the crest.
The First Task
In the first part of the level, at certain points along the way, there are three chunks of Lego that are thrown into your path. You must use magic to destroy all three for the crest.
- The first one will be thrown down between the first two brown rocks.
- The second one will come down near the strength potion you can make.
- The final one will come down just before you reach the three coloured blocks that you build up to the golden egg.
While running from the dragon in the long Hogwarts corridor, keep an eye on the left of the screen. The blue crest will be sat there waiting to be collected. You will see it as soon as you go through one of the smaller arches.
Secret of the Egg
From the start of the level, in the bathroom, there are 4 little cabinets on the wall. Three of them are directly above the sinks on the left hand wall. The fourth is on the opposite end of the bathroom, above what initially looks like a large round bath tub.
When you reach the prefect’s bathroom (the second area of this level), have a book carrier, such as Hermione, open the rune cabinet to collect the crest.
The Black Lake
When you get to the second part of the level, swim down directly below you and you will see a pile of rocks and a chest. Use dark magic to open the chest, then use Wingardium Leviosa to animate the skeleton.
- Straight beneath you at the start
- On a chain in the foreground, near the start of the level
- As you swim through the large arch at the start, the shell is at the base of one of the spectator stands in the background.
- After you go through the pipe to move from the back to the front of the level, swim past a large rock and you can see the next shell in the background, at the base of one of the spectator stands.
- In the same place as the last one but in the foreground instead.
- When you reach the second set of pipes to move from front to back, come out through the back pipe and you will see the shell on a ledge just above it.
- When you reach the giant squid, and have to make it break the large stone arch, during the cut scene of the arch breaking, you can see the next shell in the bottom of the screen.
- At the third set of pipes, the next shell can be seen near the pipe at the back of the screen.
- On one of the ledges with the fish pieces on it, that you must build to move on.
The Dark Lord Returns
When you are in the cemetery at the end of the level, there are three skeletons lying around that you need to animate with Wingardium Leviosa. The first one is on the left, the second is in the right hand corner near the top of the screen, and the last one is on the right at the bottom of the screen.

in Face of The Enemy, the Green and Blue crests are backwards.
Thanks, I will correct that now =]
what about how to collect the hogwarts crest that is in the castle itself???
There are none in the castle itself; just students in peril, red/gold bricks and character tokens
yay got em all
What does it mean by using dark magic?
dark magic is when the object is red only people like tom riddle can do it
how come the squid in the black lake never left????
The squid never moves on the black lake task to get the crest. We’ve tried three different load slots. Is there something in the beginning we are missing?
It sounds like you haven’t cleared all the ink. Use lumos and make sure you travel all the way up and down the four tunnels.
It didn’t work for me the first time, but the second time it did.
How do you get the house crest in gringotts at the beginning? Can’t get passed the padlock!!!!
Very good and very helpful
How do you restart a level?
You can just play Free Play it works the same way.
Hello you have been huge help. How do you collect character tokens in the owl message hut with the gramophone
How do you get to the Slytherin crest in The Jinxed Broom. I can’t get to it. I after building the first Lego staircase, I have to jump to even get a peek at it. I build the second Lego staircase, blow up all of the stuff and can’t get past the “wood” barrier. Help!
In year one The Magic Begins you repeated the Gryffindor and Slytherin crest. Gryffindor is right but Slytherin should be When you first enter Diagon Alley on the left hand shop with a lady in the window stand in the highlighted area and interact with her then the crest will fly out through the door.
In Year One the Magic begins Slytherin is wrong you just duplicated Gryffindor. Slytherin should be When you first enter Diagon Alley on the left hand side of the screen there is a shop with a lady in the window stand in the highlighted area and interact with her she will then open the door for a brief moment and the crest will fly out
