Zoom levels[]
This moment is a minigame, so it has no zoom levels.
This is another little minigame. The goal is to toss gnomes over the hedge. They pop up, at which time you have to click the gnome and hold it. Holding it makes it spin around, giving it momentum. Let it go at the right time to swing it over the hedge. To unlock the next moment, you have to get at least four gnomes past the hedge. You get a small bonus for getting the gnomes past the stump.
When you do this successfully, you should be awarded with Gilderoy Lockhart's Guide to Household Pests.
- Tips
- Letting the gnomes swing ten times and letting it go just when it passes horizontal almost always makes it go past the stump
- Grabbing the gnomes by the head – by putting the hand at the top of wall when you click on them — will make tossing them over the wall much easier. You can also get some good distance, occasionally 15+ meters.
Sounds[]
You hear birds chirping and the rustling of leaves. The swinging gnomes make a swinging sound, and when the gnome hits the ground, it makes a thumping sound. A gnome landing in the pond makes a splashing sound.
