Professor Flitwick teaches Charms Class, today he will be teaching a freezing charm called Glacius. Harry is chosen to demonstrate the spell in the Glacius Challenge. Glacius is useful for freezing a number of things. In the game it is demonstrated first on an Amazonian salamandor. Harry will need to eliminate both the creature and its fire.

Harry will also use the spell on flowing water to freeze it into solid ice. And then slide on the ice to the next part of the challenge.

-- 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.

I needed to do the challenge twice because I missed one of the shields.

-- Application info, notes --
Video game gameplay from the 2004 movie of the same name.

Bandicam was used to record the video and limit the framerate to 60FPS. Some parts of the game won't function properly above 60FPS.
The file:
"Documents\Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban\hppoa.ini"
was modified to allow the game to be played in 2560x1440 resolution and make corrections to the FOV. See: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Prisoner_of_Azkaban
