Behind the scenes
- This version has a glitch during the part where you need to find ingredients for Snape. One of them is supposed to be found by examining a tapestry in Snape's office. However, if you get the other ingredient first, the one in Snape's office will never appear and you will be forced to restart the game.
- In the book and film, Harry witnesses Snape and Quirrell's interaction alone and in the Forbidden Forest and a school corridor, respectively. But in this game, he witnesses the scene along with Ron, Hermione and Neville on the third floor during the Midnight Duel scene.
