Offhand...COS: Harry's arm must somehow lose bones, Dobby, the
basilisk, the serpent in Dueling Club, Aragog & co, more Quidditch,
mandrakes? (though I would bet money these are cute)...

POA: Animagus transformations (already done), dementors (heads &
hands), Patronus Charm, Quidditch Final, Buckbeak, flobberworms
(probably not), Marauder's Map, boggarts...

Of these, I would imagine most are not that complicated.  The hardest
to do probably being Dobby (it HAS to be believeable as a creature)
and Buckbeak (they RIDE him for heaven's sake!).
