Fantastic update news phil, ---- though I do wonder how to brue felix
felicis as if i remember rightly it took quite a long time.
it's also nice to know Harry's signiature spell has made it into the game.
I'm of course talking about expelliarmus!
My brother made the rather amusing comment that this seems to be the Harry
potter default response, ---- even when faced with certain death, and even
when much more lethal alternatives are open!
I'll also be interested to read the novel myself, ---- in fact it's a novel
way of making a walkthrough and spoiler file for a game, ---- sorry, ---
couldn't resist it!
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi Folks,
I was sure my update to the Sarah game would be finished by now.
But my wife getting a new Guide dog from the Seeing Eye has slowed down my
game development work.
It's probably like having a three year old visit, strange feeding
schedules, sibling interactions to police, and sleeping arrangements to be
sorted out.
So at this time I can only outline some of the changes in version 1.2
1. The number of different potions you can brew has increased from one to
3, and the locations of the ingredients are concentrated on only two
floors.
On the ground floor you will find a potion book that lists the three types
of potions you can make plus the list of ingredients that are needed to
brew them.
Along with the current Polyjuice potion you will be able to brew
Amortentia, a powerful love potion, and Felix Felicis, the Liquid Luck
Potion.
The potion brewing is now in the potions classroom on the dungeon level.
2. You can now apparate to specific parts of the floor you are on, once
you find the map and use it.
For example on the Ground floor and Basement you can apparate to the Broom
Cupboard, or the Great Hall.
Once you get the map you can then apparate to the Kitchen or the Centaur
Divination Classroom, or the Hufflepuff common room.
3. The map allows you to examine just what is in the area around you, in
an area 70 feet north and south and 100 feet east and west.
4. There are new rooms and new creatures that you will encounter,
including one very nasty rat.
5. Once you find your way out of the castle you will have the opportunity
to go through the Maze that was built for the Triwizard Tournament that
has a surprise at the center, different than the cup in the book.
6. You will find many items from the joke shop sprinkled through the
castle, especially in the students dorm rooms.
On each floor of Hogwarts you will find a Skiving Snackbox filled with a
random candy.
If you drop a Snackbox candy near Filch you will hear.
him picking it up, unwrapping and eating the candy.
Filch then reading the name of the candy on the wrapper.
and finally, Filch being sick and unable to go after you for a time.
7. You will find five more spells in your spell list.
Descendo,
Causes a trap door to lower.
Wingardium Leviosa,
Makes objects fly.
Evanesco,
Makes something vanish.
Expelliarmus,
the disarming spell.
Reducto,
Blasts solid objects out of your path.
8. random creature feature.
On the easy level, some of the creatures are there 50 percent of the time
while in standard they are there 75 percent of the time.
This makes those two levels of difficulty slightly less difficult.
9. There is a novel titled Sarah Goode and the castle of witchcraft and
wizardry, which is based on this game in your game folder. This is the
ultimate walkthrough for the Sarah and the castle of witchcraft and
wizardry game.
This update will be free to all registered owners of the game,
and I will try my hardest to have it done in December.
