GETTING STARTED

1

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 HEDWIG
and SCABBERS 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 a key unlocking
HEDWIG'S cage!

The game takes place at HOGWART'S SCHOOL where both HEDWIG and SCABBERS live with
their masters, HARRY and RON. HEDWIG is HARRY's owl and SCABBERS is RON's pet rat!

Once HEDWIG is automatically released from the cage, you must keep HEDWIG in good shape
for 2 days. You keep HEDWIG in good shape by taking good care of her.

When you see the ALERT icon flash on screen, you need to figure out what HEDWIG is doing.

But if you can't figure out which of the activities HEDWIG 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 she 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 HEDWIG 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 HEDWIG's score above 80 for 2 days, then you will hear SQUEAKING SFX (at
7:30 am on the third day) -- letting you know that SCABBERS has been activated!

Once SCABBERS 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 HEDWIG and SCABBERS, you'll also see some
other friends appearing on screen from time to time, including HARRY, RON,
MALFOY, and DUMBLEDORE!

Your E-Pals won't die. But if your score for HEDWIG drops below 20, then you see HEDWIG
enter her cage again. If your score for SCABBERS drops below 20, then you see him fall into
a deep sleep on a Gryffindor common room chair.

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

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

2

FUNCTIONS

You can play 7 different games each for both HEDWIG and SCABBERS -- 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
on-screen action!

The activities include:

ALERT

(SIXTH ICON)

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 (HEDWIG and SCABBERS) 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.

activities, the selection icons will disappear after about 5 seconds and downtime will begin again.

RIGHT, and CENTER buttons. Have her dive and catch
the mouse! If you want her to catch a mouse on the left
side of the screen, press the LEFT button. When the mouse

RIGHT

ENTER

From this blank screen, you can enter secret codes!
By typing in a secret code and pressing ENTER to
confirm the secret code, you will be able to activate SCABBERS immediately -­without having to play well with HEDWIG for 2 days first!

From this blank screen, there is another special code you can type in and then
press ENTER and see a special activity!

HEDWIG'S SLEEPING
HEDWIG likes to sleep in her cage. It will take a 3 button code to put HEDWIG to sleep inside
her cage. The combination will be a combination of the LEFT, RIGHT, and ENTER buttons. It
is a random combination each time you play. Do the correct 3 code combination, and you will
see HEDWIG float down and enter her cage and then put her head under her wing and go to
sleep.

The screen shows a 3-button code composed of three letters: R(right), E(enter) and L(left). It
is a random combination. Player should do the correct 3-code combination once to complete the
game. After the 3-button code has been shown, a white screen is shown. At this time, you should
input the code. Once you input a wrong key, the pattern will be shown again.

To wake up the pal, enter the sleep mode and play the mini-game again, once again performing
a 3-button code.

When HEDWIG is asleep, she can't perform other activities! So you have to wake
her up before playing any other games!

HEDWIG'S CLEANING
HEDWIG flies through rain to wash herself! So as you see the raindrops fall,
press the LEFT button to fly through raindrops on the left, press the RIGHT button
to fly through raindrops on the right hand side of the screen and press the ENTER
(Center) button to fly through raindrops in the middle of the screen!

four different games to choose from. When you decide on which of the four games you want
to play, press the ENTER button and enjoy!

GAME 1: LETTER DROP GAME
Owls deliver mail for wizards. This activity takes place in the Great Hall at breakfast. Use your
LEFT, RIGHT, and ENTER (center) buttons to fly left, right an din the center of the screen to

order to win the game.

GAME 3: FLIGHT PATTERN GAME

SCABBERS’ ACTIVITIES

When you play with SCABBERS (after two great days with HEDWIG

or after entering the secret code to activate SCABBERS sooner), you

can also play games with SCABBERS and keep his score, too!

SCABBERS' FOOD
SCABBERS likes to eat candy. He lives to eat BERTIE
BOTT'S EVERY FLAVOR BEANS. RON appears either
LEFT, RIGHT or in the CENTER of the screen and you
use the directional buttons to move toward him and eat the
candy out right out of his hand!

SCABBERS' SLEEPING
SCABBERS likes to sleep in Ron's pocket! The sleeping activity works the same as HEDWIG's
sleeping. The screen will show a 3-code combination composed of L, R or E. You have to enter
this 3 part code correctly to the sleep activity, see the 3-part code flash on screen and repeat
the code to wake him up!

Play tag with RON! Press the LEFT, RIGHT and CENTER
buttons to try to avoid getting picked up by the tail by RON!
Ron will stick his hand in 10 times -- and if he grabs you
by the tail 3 times, you lose the game.
But if he can't grab you 3 times in 10 tries, then you win
the game!

GAME 2: DEFENDING YOUR MASTER'S HONOR
There's nothing quite as satisfying as sinking your teeth into one of Ron's enemies -- like DRACO
MALFOY! You are sitting on a seat on the train going to Hogwarts. When you see MALFOY

jump on him! Jump on him 3 times to win the game!
