Hasbro Harry Potter E-Pals Norbert User Manual

AGES 5 & UP

The ALERT icon (the sixth icon) is to remind you of some action your E-Pal needs. The flashing alert icon means your E-Pal needs to feed, sleep, clean and/or play. Remember to try to guess what action is needed for your E-Pal first. If you don't guess right, the icon of the correct action will flash with the alert icon. When you have both E-Pals (NORBERT and FANG) activated, the alert icon may flash for whichever E-Pal needs action! Once you have satisfied your E-Pal's need, the icons stops flashing.

GETTING STARTED

Pull the tab out behind the unit to activate the game.

You will see the word TIME appear on screen with an hour glass.

It's time to set the time. It's important to set the correct time so that you can keep NORBERT and FANG on schedule for their many activities!

Use the LEFT and RIGHT buttons to move to the correct hour. To move from AM to PM, you will have to scroll through all the AM hours first. When you reach the correct hour, press ENTER.

This will take you right into the game which begins with an opening animation of NORBERT, Hagrid's dragon being hatched from an egg!

The game takes place at HAGRID's CABIN since both Norbert and Fang reside with Hagrid. Norbert is a baby dragon won as an egg by Hagrid in a card game. Fang is Hagrid's boarhound.

Once NORBERT'S EGG is hatched, you must keep Norbert in good shape for 2 days. You keep Norbert in good shape by taking good care of him!

When you see the ALERT icon flash on screen, you need to figure out what NORBERT needs!

But if you can’t figure out which of the activities NORBERT needs, don't worry. If you don't figure which activity to play, soon the screen will actually flash the icon of the activity that he needs, for example, the FOOD icon would flash on screen.

Then use the LEFT and RIGHT buttons as described above to toggle to the food icon and press ENTER. Then play the FOOD game. If you win the game, you will still score points – although not as many as you would have scored had you figured out on your own that NORBERT was hungry and needed food!

If you don't select the correct activity or you select the correct activity but can't win the game, then you will LOSE points.

If you can keep NORBERT's score above 80 for 2 days, then you will hear BARKING SFX (at 7:30 am on the third day) – letting you know that FANG has been activated!

Once Fang has been activated, you can toggle between both pets – and have two pets to take care of instead of one! But only ONE of these two pets will ever appear on screen at a time.

While the games are all about NORBERT and FANG, you'll also see some other friends appearing on screen from time to time, including HARRY, HAGRID, and HERMIONE!

As you play with NORBERT, you will actually see him get larger as time progresses – progressing from baby dragon coming out of the egg and turning into a full sized dragon within 4 days!

Your E-Pals won't die. But if your score for NORBERT drops below 20, then you see NORBERT appear in a crate suspended by a harness. Then both crate and dragon will disappear off screen.

If your score for FANG drops below 20, then you see him run off into Hagrid's hut!

If you lose NORBERT within the first 2 days, then you will not get a chance to play with FANG. Playing with FANG must be earned – by keeping NORBERT in good shape for 2 days first! There is one exception to this – entering a secret code to activate Fang early! More on that later!

There are 7 games for you to play with NORBERT and FANG. Your scores will continually rise and fall depending on how well you perform in the games!

FUNCTIONS

You can play 7 different games each for both NORBERT and FANG – 14 games in all. In addition to your games, your game also has a clock, an alarm function, a stopwatch, sound effects, name editing, score keeping, a pause feature, and a contrast level to obtain the clearest possible onscreen action!

The activities include:
