Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Walkthrough
Getting to Hogwarts: Talking and Exploring

On your way into Hogwarts, run right a bit to get the potion vial case there. It's a quest item. Now go with Ron into the building. Go up the stairs and right, then run all the way up to the 7th floor. The stairs will nicely appear for you. Go right to the picture. Hermoine comes and gives you the password and you go in. You learn Fred and George have a shop for you, and you give the vial case to your buddy there to get the Dunbar Oglethorpe card.

Go around the edge of the reading room to the painting on the opposite wall to get in to the bean shop area. I bought Alberic Grunnion's card here for 30 beans, leaving me 20 left. In the bathroom is the Queen Maeve card!! She's a GREAT Irish legend, be sure to read about her.

Go into the stall on the right with no toilet and open the back wall to go out a tunnel. You end up in the reading room again, go back to Ron. He's going off to bed. Follow him upstairs into the bedroom. In the chest here is Leopoldina Smethwyck's card. Time to sleep.
