Solving Henrietta's Map in Hogwarts Legacy
Henrietta’s Hideaway is a location you’ll be visiting more than once in Hogwarts Legacy. There are multiple quests to be solved in this area, including Find Rococo, Solved by the Bell, an Astronomy Table, an Infamous Foe, and this quest, Hippogriff Marks the Spot. You’ll start this quest in an entirely unrelated location, and even when you’re in the right place, the answer isn’t clear. For everything you need to solve Henrietta’s Map, follow our instructions below. If you want to catch or breed a Hippogriff, make sure to read our beast locations guide. Make sure to read through our other Hogwarts Legacy guides for everything you need to know about the game, including puzzle solutions, item locations, and more. For information on the Hogwarts Legacy controversy surrounding J.K. Rowling and the game, read our explainer. How to find Henrietta’s Map – Hogwarts Legacy The first thing we need to do is start the quest, if you haven’t already. You can begin this quest at Poidsear Castle – it’s a map sitting on a desk in a tent near the back of the castle. The Side Quest icon should be hovering over it to draw your attention. Solving Henrietta’s Map – Hogwarts Legacy Once we have the map, we need to solve it. First is quite obviously a literal map, with an X marking the spot, and an illustration of where we need to go. It is Henrietta’s Map, so it makes sense that this quest would take place in Henrietta’s Hideaway to the South of Manor Cape. There’s also a Hippogriff surrounded by flames, with a flame and ice icon near them. The flame obviously indicates the use of your fire spells, and the ice icon hints at using Glacius. Hippogriff Marks the Spot solution – Hogwarts Legacy Right, so we need to enter Henrietta’s Hideaway. Once you arrive at the castle you’ll find a dungeon entrance down to the right side of the ruin. Inside there’s a quick and easy puzzle involving fire and ice spell blocks. As the main door opens, you will come face to face with a Hippogriff statue surrounding by burning braziers. First you will need to extinguish the flames around the Hippogriff. Next, you will need to light only the braziers indicated by Henrietta’s Map. These are as follows, when facing the Hippogriff: Rear of the Hippogriff Left of the Hippogriff Right of the Hippogriff Right front side of the Hippogriff Once those braziers are lit, a wall will open up at the back, revealing a chest with an item inside. Hippogriff Marks the Spot rewards – Hogwarts Legacy For your efforts you will receive Treasure-Seekers Gloves as an appearance option. Nice if you’re after the Treasure-Seekers appearance set, I guess.
Scribes float blockbuster trade sending Quinn Hughes to Devils
Could a Hughes brothers reunion be on the horizon in New Jersey? According to Larry Brooks of the New York Post, it’s inevitable that Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes joins siblings Jack and Luke on the Devils. Brooks proposed a massive trade package, suggesting Vancouver could land Simon Nemec or Seamus Casey, Anton Silayev or Arseni Gritsyuk, a first-round pick and forward Dawson Mercer in return. Brooks believes it’s in both teams’ best interest to explore a deal sooner rather than later. Hughes has two years remaining on his contract and Canucks president Jim Rutherford acknowledged Quinn’s desire to play with his siblings one day. It’s not clear if Hughes has outwardly expressed interest in reuniting with his brothers or if the Canucks are making the assumption that’s going to be a pain point in negotiations. Jeff Marek also weighed in on the idea of Hughes going to New Jersey. "Again, this is sort of under the umbrella of, make sure that you don’t pay too much. You’re probably looking at you know Dougie Hamilton plus Simon Nemec is if you’re New Jersey that’s what you’re that that’s what you’re trying to pay for someone like Quinn Hughes. Meanwhile, if you’re the Vancouver Canucks, you’re saying to the New Jersey Devils, like this guy is and a perennial candidate for the Norris. If you want Quinn Hughes two years early, the conversation starts with either Nico Hischier or Jesper Bratt plus. And then we start talking about prospects and we start talking about picks." No Pressure for Canucks to Do This Right Away Marek suggested that the one thing the Canucks have going for them is a little time. Knowing that there are at least two years to make this trade, the "standoff is right now there’s no real pressure point we have to get this done right now," he noted. The Canucks will make sure the Devils know that if these two teams get to talking about a trade. Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman said on Friday’s "32 Thoughts: The Podcast" that the Devils might already be looking into the idea. GM Tom Fitzgerald hinted he wouldn’t be doing his job if he didn’t call and have a conversation. "You call and say, 'Hey guys, what’s going on here. I know what I’ve read. Is there a conversation here?' It’s malpractice if you don’t make that phone call. I have no doubt Tom Fitzgerald will."

The Leafs’ statement win in Game 1 comes at a cost
The Toronto Maple Leafs passed a crucial test Monday night. Barely. And a completely different one looms now. From the 33-second mark, when William Nylander beat Sergei Bobrovsky with a short-side wrist shot, it appeared the Leafs would enthusiastically ace Game 1 of their second-round matchup against the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers. Twelve minutes later, Nylander settled down a rebound, showed silky poise and deked out Bobrovsky to put Toronto up 2-0. It was Nylander’s 10th goal in his last 13 playoff games. His frosty precision represented a Toronto team finally looking ready to handle the moment. Even when Seth Jones’ long-distance point shot on the power play cut the lead to 2-1, Morgan Rielly finished off a 2-on-1 just 19 seconds later to widen the lead again. Toronto had its swagger from puck drop at Scotiabank Arena and didn’t shy away from the Panthers’ physicality. But just when it felt like Toronto would cruise, after a Chris Tanev point shot bounced past Bobrovsky to make it 4-1 early in the second…everything changed. If you’re a long-suffering Leafs fan, you’re used to these sudden, pivotal, series-changing phenomena. Toronto was victim to one in the 2023 playoffs when the Panthers’ Sam Bennett concussed Matthew Knies with a heavy hit, and Monday night, it was Bennett again, buzzing the Toronto net and clipping goaltender Anthony Stolarz in the side of the head. Was it an accidental shot or was it an example of the famously disruptive, mean power forward knowing exactly what he was doing? “Elbow to the head, clear as day,” said Leafs coach Berube. “The referee was standing right there when it happened,” said Panthers coach Paul Maurice. Clean or not, the play altered the course of the game. Stolarz removed himself after a couple minutes and ended up vomiting on the bench. He reportedly left Scotiabank Arena on a stretcher. Backup Joseph Woll entered the game cold during a TV timeout, and his night was adventurous to say the least. He’s the quicker, more athletic goaltender than Stolarz and has better rebound control, but the calmness Stolarz has brought to the crease so far in these playoffs evaporated once Woll took the net. “You go from just kind of chillin’ to being in the front line of action,” Woll said. “I’ve been trying to do my best to stay prepared, be ready for moments like that. You never know what happens. [You] just try to get the feel back.” Woll fought the puck, struggling to find it through traffic. He was beaten on a deft deflection by Eetu Luostarinen early in the third. Florida’s third goal was the most concerning, as depth defenseman Uvis Balinskis scored on a shot Woll saw all the way. He saved -0.86 goals above expected after taking over at the 30:12 mark. The good news: the Leafs, simply a more mature and composed team under Berube, refused to wilt. When the home crowd began to hold its breath after Florida narrowed the score to 4-3, Knies played hero, winning a foot race against Carter Verhaeghe, galloping end-to-end and roofing a backhander over Bobrovsky’s shoulder to make it 5-3. “Somebody asked me what I was most impressed by with Knies, I said his hands,” Berube said. “He’s got great hands in tight. And I didn’t know this coming here. And you see the power in the skating and the physicality and that sort of stuff, but the hands are really good in tight. And that was a great example of it tonight, the goal he scored.” Scotiabank Arena’s collective blood pressure spiked again when a Bennett shot ramped up Brandon Carlo’s stick and past a helpless Woll with 1:55 to go but, again, the Leafs held on. They walked away with a 5-4 victory. Toronto survived a tense third period in which the Panthers controlled more than 64 percent of the expected goals at 5-on-5. The Leafs played a disciplined game, avoiding many post-whistle skirmishes. And they now lead a playoff series in Round 2 for the first time since 2002. So they can feel proud of how they took it to the defending champs early and ate their best punches late in Game 1. But that was just one test. Next, we find out how Toronto’s identity changes if Stolarz misses time going forward. Berube had no update after the game, only reiterating the team’s statement that Stolarz was being evaluated. If Stolarz is out, the Leafs lose arguably the MVP of their first-round victory over the Ottawa Senators. Stolarz wasn’t all-world elite in that series, but he was mostly excellent and repeatedly came up with important saves to preserve leads or keep games tied. That followed a stellar regular season in which Stolarz had the best goals saved above expected per 60 in the entire NHL among netminders who played at least 30 games. How will the Leafs respond in his potential absence going forward? They survived Monday, but the score was 3-1 Florida after the Stolarz injury. Perhaps Woll deserves the benefit of the doubt, however. While not as consistent as Stolarz this season, Woll was mostly quite good, ranking seventh in goals saved above expected per 60, and he was stupendous in the playoffs against the Boston Bruins last year. We know Woll can play. The question is whether he can get his game to its peak form having not played since April 17 before his relief appearance Monday. And if Stolarz’s injury proves significant, it puts pressure on Woll given he has struggled mightily to stay healthy himself in his career. Is he up to the playoff workload? He wasn’t last year, when he was forced to pull out the day of Game 7. So while the Leafs have to be happy emerging with a win in Game 1, the mood in their postgame media availability was somewhat grim. Was it reflective of a team all grown up, not allowing itself to get too high or too low? Or do the Leafs fear a momentum shift if Bennett has indeed knocked Stolarz out of the series? For now, all they can do is maintain the poker face and hope (a) Stolarz is OK or (b) that two days of preparation have Woll looking like his normal self in Game 2. “We have all the faith in the world in Joe,” Rielly said. “You don’t want anyone to leave the game. But we have faith in our depth and our guys. I thought Joe came in and played well.”
Justin Verlander, Giants look to shut down high-scoring Cubs
A night after cooling off the visiting San Francisco Giants, the Chicago Cubs will aim to clinch their third consecutive series on Tuesday night. Chicago has won four of its last five games, including a 9-2 victory over the Giants in the series opener on Monday -- snapping the visitors' three-game winning streak. For the fifth time in seven games, the Cubs scored at least six runs, and have now plated an MLB-most 217 on the season. Chicago also leads all 30 teams in batting average (.262) and hits (332). The club's phenomenal start to the season at the plate was on display Monday, specifically the sixth inning, when the Cubs posted five runs to pull away from the Giants. "We just kept moving the line and ended up with a big number on the board," Cubs manager Craig Counsell said. "We took advantage of some mistakes, but we also put some real pressure on them with our at bats." It's hard to point out a spot in the order that Chicago isn't receiving production, and that includes catcher Carson Kelly. After launching his eighth home run of the season on Monday, Kelly is now batting .361 with 23 RBIs. "He continues to take good swings, have good at bats," Counsell said of Kelly. "Offense from that position is hard to find in this league and when you get it, it makes your offense dangerous." On the mound Tuesday, Colin Rea (2-0, 1.46 ERA) gets the start -- his fifth of the season. Last time out, Rea threw six innings of two-run ball in an 8-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday. Rea, 34, will look to find better luck against the Giants, as the veteran right-hander owns a 1-3 record and an 8.57 ERA in four career starts against them. San Francisco began its six-game road trip Monday on the wrong foot, mustering just two runs while committing four errors. "Just an off night," Giants manager Bob Melvin said. "Obviously our pitchers had to work a little bit harder after the errors. We're better than that defensively." The Giants' only form of offense came on Luis Matos' two-run homer in the fourth -- the second in three games for the 23-year-old outfielder. "He's played three games in a row, and for a young player getting consistent at bats is beneficial," Melvin said of Matos. "After having a tough time to start the season, it looks like he's swinging the bat a lot better." Justin Verlander (0-2, 4.38 ERA) looks to earn his first win with the Giants on Tuesday in his eighth start with the club. The future Hall of Famer is coming off his longest outing of the season, pitching 6 1/3 innings of two-run ball in a no-decision against the Colorado Rockies. The Giants lost 4-3. Verlander, 42, has only faced the Cubs three times over his 20-year career, posting a 2-0 record and a 1.50 ERA against the club.
