Honestly, I’m not a good gobstone player. Without any power meter you play on a hunch. There are 3 variants of playing gobstones: classic (knock 7 gobstones out of the circle before your opponent does – that’s the one that caused me plenty of trouble, my advice: don’t hit the gobstones with first snap, let your opponent do that), jack stone (after four snaps your gobstone must be the one closest to the jack) and snake pit (similar to jack stone, however instead of jack there’s a hole in the floor). In order to beat a player you have to win 3 times. Players‘ locations are shown on a map below.

 | Hi guys,
Here's some information and tips about how to win Gobstones:
Traditional Gobstones:
1. Always miss you first shot (the break). This way the Hufflepuff/Slytherin student has to take that shot, leaving your 2nd shot as an opportunity to gain a point. It is impossible to score a point whilst taking a break shot.
2. Take advantage of the opponent’s Gobstone. Use it as a shield to slow your Gobstone down when you take a shot or use it to hit into another Gobstone.
3. If possible, always take the longer shots first. This way you are less likely for your Gobstone to leave the ring because it has enough space to slow down in. Don't just take a close shot because it's easy, if you get that Gobstone out and then your House Ball rolls out, the opponent will gain your point.
Snake Pit Gobstones:
1. You probably all know this but, when playing Snake Pit Gobstones, don't try and match the opponent’s landing place. Aim your Gobstone directly at theirs. You Gobstone will knock theirs into the pit leaving yours travelling at an incredibly slow pace. Most of the time your Gobstone will reach the edge of the pit without falling in.
Jack Stone Gobstones:
1. Instead of trying to get closer to the Jack, flick your Gobstone towards the Jack at a fairly fast pace. This way you will move the Jack out of the line of the opponent and ultimately make your shot closer. Do this on every go and you will win virtually every time.
I hope these tips help :) | chrishaydon_21 20/08/2009 18:13 |  | Guys, if some of you are still wondering, there's a girl in the corner behind the Slytherin Champion in the paved courtyard. You have to beat her in all of the three different games. And she's the Hogwarts Champion. Just to mention. | hottentott 17/07/2009 17:11 |  | OMG THE CLASSICS CHAMPION IS WORLD CLASS ( HES IMPOSSIBLE ) | keiran 22/06/2009 16:13 | | I beat 3 of the gobstone players but under my game information it still says 0. Do you have to beat them each more than once to show up under game information? After I won, it showed that it was saving but it doesn't say anywhere that I beat any of the players that I beat. | page84 19/05/2009 14:55 | | For Snake Pit, just kick your opponent's Gobstone into the pit and leave at least one of yours (you lose if no Gobstones are left in the circle at the end).
For Jack Gobstone, kick away your opponent's Gobstones and try to get them out of the circle.
For the classic game, don't break first; make your opponent do it, then keep striking carefully. If you feel like making a double, do try it. Even the Hogwarts Champion won't beat you this way.
Make sure you play with your keyboard; an optical mouse will "betray" you at critical moments. | cooldude 28/04/2009 16:37 |  | Help

I hate this game... it takes tooo much time, win ones, would have being enough. buut threeee times one player?? it sucks... that means you have to play more them 12 times(if u lose) | bulma 11/07/2008 04:27 | | After beating 3 Champions, talk to the girl from Gryffindor, she is standing right behind the Slytherin Champion. Win her in three variants of the game, and You are a new Hogwarts Champion! =) | MaD_girl 06/07/2008 19:33 | | i have been playing and playing and playing the snake pit gobstones in the paved courtyard and i win every time. but i still don't have 100% discovery there and it still says i need to play the gobstones game.... i'm so confused!! does anyone know what the deal is?? | kastrong 22/04/2008 01:25 |  | does it mean that the Slytherin Champion i have to beat twice? because the maker of this walkthrough set the paved courtyard twice and there is only this snake pit gobstone game - btw i love playin gobstones, fantastic game! | Me - someone is using my nick! 08/02/2008 09:46 |
