Games: Family - General Discussion

Up to now, whilst playing through the levels normally, Harry would get 'jumped' by a snake popping his head out of a door.

He can speak Parceltongue, as he happily chatted to the snake, who then nodded and went away. Harry and friends then carried on.

Now I'm on Freeplay, I'm coming upon these green doors with snake surrounds, and cannot access them.

All a websearch gets me is the requirement to be able to speak Parceltongue, or Voldermort for access - my Harry doesn't have an effect, and there's no snakehead to chat to.

I'm assuming that - during Freeplay - these doors DO actually lead somewhere interesting, and aren't just for show?

There are parts behind the doors which you need to access to get your platinum.

Just read on gamefaqs that you need to press circle to talk to them as Harry. I can't remember if you need the Slytherin disguise on as well.

You do need to be Harry, as initially, he is the only one able to pacify the snake that first pops out, but after that, all snake doors seem to be dummys.
There's probably some subtle thing I'm missing. After all, this game is designed for young'uns, and I'm 38, so perhaps I'm just thinking too much

I'm 41 and I don't think enough

[Nakatsu_Hime]

I'm starting to think that - after Harry talks to the snake initially (and therefore receives any goodies) - those doors serve no further purpose.

As above. Once you initially speak to the snake, the door serves no further purpose later on.
