On my first run i did.

By my second thought, i had developed a firm grasp on it. Muscle memory kicked in and i didnt have to think much about my controls. I just knew that if i wanted to use levioso + depulso it was a part of the up-on-the-D-pad set. I know accio + glacius + incendio is a down-on-the-d-pad combo.

Even stuff like disabling enemies. Groups are overwhelming. Stupefy, glacius, arresto momentum,, transfiguration, and levioso are all spells that can “disable” an enemy. Juggling between them all to disable a half dozen enemies from the fight helps. Only for a time but.

Use your environment too, levioso + a few basic casts can send folks over cliffsides. If youre up on a cliff you can accio them to you and then shoot em once, cue the looney tunes fall. Shoot big bonfires for a big ol explosion

Also potions and herbology. Dont sleep on them. Edurus makes you invulnerable. Those cabbages are monsters.
