1GETTING 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 HEDWIG and SCABBERS on schedule for their many activities!

Press the ENTER button.

On screen you will see: HOUR?

AM 12:00

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.

On screen you will see: MIN?

(plus the hour you already entered)

Use the LEFT and RIGHT buttons to move to the correct minute. Then 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.

For example, maybe HEDWIG needs food. So press the MODE button to get into the activity mode selection and then use the LEFT and RIGHT buttons to toggle through the various icon activities. Then press ENTER to go to the activity of your choice.

If you play and win the correct activity, you will score points!

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!

HARRYRONMALFOYDUMBLEDORE

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!

2FUNCTIONS

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:

CLOCK,	FOOD	SLEEP	CLEAN	GAMES	ALERT
including clock, alarm,	(SECOND ICON	(THIRD ICON)	(FOURTH ICON)	(FIFTH ICON)	(SIXTH ICON)
stopwatch and contrast	FROM LEFT)
(FIRST ICON IN
UPPER LEFT)

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.

You are in "downtime" activities and can watch HEDWIG move freely across the screen.

When the alert icon lights up, you know HEDWIG needs something!

When you get to the point where both E-Pals (HEDWIG and SCABBERS) are both available to you, you will see there is a arrow for your selection, so you can press the RIGHT key to select SCABBERS or press the LEFT key to select HEDWIG.

If you don't press any key while you are in the MODE selection, after about 5 seconds, you will go automatically back to downtime mode.

SELECTION MODE:

Now you can make a selection between clock, food, clean, sleep and games.
