• Wizet proposed using a second Mandrake leaf to anchor the memory of the giant snake's cold voice and identify snakes more precisely.
• When Dumbledore asked how to connect magical items, Wizet suggested separating part of the Obscurus using the method shown in the murals.

• Wizet explained that the murals also described using love to awaken an Obscurial, and credited Snape with teaching him the Patronus Charm.

• Wizet used the Marauder's Map and a tracking spell to trace the magic attached to the Bludger while it repeatedly attacked Harry.
• Luna cast Impervius Charms to protect herself and Wizet from the rain, and Wizet used a Night-Sight Spell to help her watch the match.

• Colin Creevey left the Gryffindor common room to check on Harry and accidentally entered a fourth-floor corridor, where he sensed the giant snake and took a photograph as it grabbed him.
• Wizet found Colin's name on the Marauder's Map and sent a House-elf to rescue him from the fourth floor.

• Colin told Wizet that he had taken a picture of the giant snake, and Dumbledore had a House-elf retrieve the Polaroid.
• Dumbledore opened the Polaroid's back, releasing a pungent smell of burning plastic and a plume of black smoke.
