Defeating The Basilisk
Have the selected spell as Inciendio. This should do more damage than Flipendo. When you enter the chamber, Fawks should "take" his eyes, making him blind. When he goes in a circle, continuously cast Inciendio. Make sure he does not touch you, or you will be poisoned. Watch out when he makes rocks come down and dodge his spit. This may take awhile, but you will eventually defeat him.
Defeating Peeves
When facing Peeves in Restricted section of the library, use a full force Flipendo spell on him first to make him hide in armor suits. When he hides, immediately use a full force Flipendo spell on the armor suit where he hides. It will be destroyed. Be careful, as it sometimes gives off Dungbombs which costs 3 points of life. Repeat the steps, as there are four armor suits. When all are destroyed, use a full force Flipendo spell again on Peeves until he gives up.
