The Draconifors-Lapifors challenge is about spells: Lapifors, the transformation of a small object into a rabbit. And Draconifors, the transformation of a small object into a living creature like a dragon. The class is taught by Minerva McGonagal. You'll play this challenge with Hermione.

On the way to the transfiguration class, Peeves again attacks you. After fighting Peevs, you can join the class. Cast the Lapifors spell on the rabbit statue. Direct it to chew through the grass into the holes, collect the beans, and dig out panels. Use Draconifors spell to animate dragon statues. Use it to collect the beans/pumpkins etc. and light the torches. Stun the Bundimuns, and jump on it for cauldron cakes.

-- Info from Mobygames --
The player controls both Harry as well as his friends Ron and Hermione, while casting spells, solving puzzles and fighting enemies. Each of the three has one unique spell.
When the three (or sometimes two) of them are together, the one best suited for the task at hand is automatically selected. If the power of several spells is required for a certain task, the other characters join in the casting.

When not engaged in a specific mission, the castle of Hogwarts can be freely explored. Scattered all around Hogwarts, usually in hidden areas, are Every Flavour Beans, Pumpkin Pasties and Cauldron Cakes, which function as a sort of currency. They can be traded for Collectors Cards, passwords for portraits that lead to more secret areas, and power-ups.

To finish the game, not only must the main missions be completed, but several side tasks as well. All 80 Collectors Cards must be found, all portrait passwords acquired and several mini-games completed. These include battles against pixies and a magically animated book, and a hippogriff flying course.
