Harry Potter features a wide selection of "term" missions, 4 multiball modes, and side modes represented by the Diagon Alley shops.

• Terms: Shoot the time-turner spinner to light the scoop for start term. Collect elements during term modes to qualify the Deathly Hallows mini-wizard mode. Complete two full semesters of five lessons to qualify the final exam mini-wizard mode.
• Allies: Shoot the allies target, then either the inner loop or right orbit to join Dumbledore's Army or the Order of the Phoenix and start super modes after enough shots.
• Wizard Travel / Playfield X: Collect combos to light the scoop to advance the mode of wizard travel. Odd-numbered "advance" shots start a timed playfield multiplier.
• Diagon Alley: Shoot the center loop to score DIAGON letters and qualify a Diagon Alley shop that can be changed with either Hagrid target hits or by pressing the action button.
• Death Eaters: Shoot the drop target then the figure behind it to defeat a Death Eater. Once two have been defeated, shoot the drop target to start Death Eater multiball.
• Golden Trio: Spell HARRY, RON, HERMIONE at the targets and lanes to light the wand lock at the inner loop or right orbit. Lock three balls there to start Golden Trio multiball. Spelling HARRY additional times after the lock is lit will qualify Protego outlane ball save and start Potter frenzy.
• Quidditch World Cup: Shoot the left ramp the first time to access the mini-playfield and establish your Quidditch position. During the game, the goal is to catch the Snitch three times by shooting the spinner on the upper playfield. Shoot the left ramp after successfully catching three Snitches to start Quidditch World Cup multiball.
• Explore Hogwarts: Shoot the center ramp and staircase ramp to collect staircase paths. Once all paths have been explored, Explore Hogwarts multiball will start.
• Battle of Hogwarts: Play all four multiballs to light the scoop for Battle of Hogwarts mini-wizard mode.
• The Boy Who Lived: Collect all seven horcruxes by performing well in modes and multiballs to light the Boy Who Lived wizard mode at the center orbit.
