Aha! Ha-ha! Ha! I know just how you feel. I skipped a deadline on a 
research paper to get past that incredibly annoying stage.

It's much easier the second time around. You-Harry have to rush 
toward the cracker just as it begins to swell. If you rush straight 
at it, *once it has landed*, You-Harry will pick it up. Hit the 
space bar right away and you'll lob the cracker. Usually, You-Harry 
will miss Malfoy, but soon you'll be picking up and throwing back 
nearly all the crackers. You need four, I think, to explode close to 
Malfoy to do the job.

Perhaps the game is set to trip you up at this point the first time 
and then allow you to pass the second. I had a hard time with the 
gnomes too, who kept mooning me and completely ignoring my deadly 
Flipendo. Second time 'round, it was a breeze.

Well, good luck! (with your finals...)

I need help, too, with the flying part, where Harry must chase 
Malfoy around that course (part-tunnel, part-woods, part-Hogwarts 
exterior) and knock him off his broom to get the Remembrall. How on 
earth does one do that? The less you bump into things, the closer 
you get to Malfoy, but not even a perfect round gets me close enough 
to bump him. What's the deal? Help, someone.

Thanks in advance.
