This quest includes hidden mechanic - if you get stuck at the jumping section, after 7 minutes a ladder to the top spawns in.

Conversation[]
[——— CUTSCENE - Bombarda Maxima - Obstacle course ———]
Remus Lupin:
Hello Students!
Today we will be learning to use 'Bombarda Maxima': a strong variation of the exploding charm.
This will allow you to conjure up powerful explosions, capable of dealing great damage to multiple foes as well as blowing up certain walls and objects.
I have set up an area below the castle where you can practice the spell.
The exit is at the top of the main room. See if you can find a way to reach it.
Oh, and I would hurry if I were you. The smell isn’t exactly pleasant.
[——— CUTSCENE - Bombarda Maxima - Half-Way Point ———]
Remus Lupin:
Well done!
But you're not done yet. Keep heading upwards and I'll meet you at the top.
[——— After completion ———]
Remus Lupin:
Brilliant! 15 points to [Gryffindor/Ravenclaw/Hufflepuff/Slytherin].
The Bombarda Maxima charm is now unlocked! I believe your next class is Herbology with Professor Sprout.
How to complete the quest[]
Blow up broken pipe parts. First one is behind the rock (you'll have to swim). Second is further up, behind some wooden planks - destroy those with Bombarda Maxima and then hit the pipe with the same spell. Now swim across the lake, fight off some rats and blow up some more wooden planks. Use Wingardium Leviosa on the block and use it to summon a staircase. Use the same block to lower a drawbridge and then use it one more time in order to summon another stairs. Blow up last broken pipe. Use Bombarda Maxima to get out of the cave. After the cutscene proceed to the tower, use Alohomora and pull the chain. Fight off enemies, pull the chain again and repeat for all 3 waves. Pulling the chain after 3rd wave causes the gate to open and lets you grab a key. Exit the room, go up the stairs and use the key. Open door with Alohomora, use Bombarda Maxima to clear the way and proceed to jumping. Pulling the chains lowers 3 platforms - carefull, timer is pretty tight. Use Bombarda Maxima and get a key. (This quest includes hidden mechanic - if you get stuck at the jumping section, after 7 minutes a ladder to the top spawns in.) Jump down, go out of the room and proceed to speak to Lupin at the top of the tower.
