It gets even better Chris. I've found a way to cut down on grinding on chickens. I'm not sure how accurate my savestates are so I will have to make sure but it seems like we only have to fight about 10 chickens now. Might be able to cut it down more. It involves using card combos and a video is on my youtube. I need to make sure we can get the combos quickly and probably need a certain deck. Anyway I'll hopefully have a decent run with the new route soon.

ok, big update...
after skipping hagrind in the dungeons i softlock the game in the troll skip...
i need to see if the game softlock with this skips
malfoy - hagrid - snape(before troll)
edit 1 : new skip, trophy room after the cut scene of flich go back and pass the door. you can see flich in the bottom of the room
EDIT 2 :after the Malfoy+hagrid skip if you enter the Transfiguration class the game crash. save and restart before enter seems works but trigger the fight against the rabbit..
EDIT 3 : i'm starting using a page on google drive to write all the things that i've discovered. if you want check the link is this : https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6Rz8EpoYorqfllCQTl6LWozNHM3aFd4WXFXdjY4V3BrMjlmd3lpNENZMG9abEpqR2pNRmM&usp=sharing

I completed a run. I now have a new pb of 1:46.02 real time. For now I think we might have to switch to real time comparisons because I reset quite a few times in this run in order to complete it. Eventually I want to do a run without resets but I'm so inconsistent at this game right now thats not possible. Just to show you how much time these new finds save I had to do the troll skip twice (along with many resets), I used the folio triplicus level up trick in the wrong place (because it softlocked elsewhere), and it was generally a horrible run. I haven't played this game on console in a month and really have probably only done 5-10 runs this year so I'm out of practice. With all of these skips I think the time can come down to 1:41 real time and probably around 1:36-1:37 in game time which is insane. I will end up posting this run sometime tomorrow but for now here are the splits.

I seriously doubt I would ever run 100% but yeah I guess it would be all cards and 4 playthroughs. I really can't think of anything else you can do in this game. Also I think all card combos and all potion recipes would be required but i don't think those transfer over from file to file. With the troll skip and potentially the malfoy skip the other playthroughs would be significantly shorter. I thought about doing something like good ending where Gryffindor wins the house cup but that can happen during the any% anyway. Hopefully one day we can have a super glitched category where we finish the game in 30 mins or so.
Ok so I posted the run on youtube. Heres the video.

Like I said the run was really bad and will be improved soon. This is being posted really just to show the route.

Ok so I finally updated the route for this game. There might be a few things to change in the future but for now I think this is a pretty solid route. It has two versions of the route, one with Troll skip and one without. They are very similar but obviously the Troll skip route is faster and more difficult.

Let me know if the link doesn't work for you.
Also I'm not really good at writing these so if something is too vague or just wrong let me know and I'll fix it.

nice man,
we need to work on the route with Malfoy skip. This morning i found a good way to skip him w/o fight against the Troll.
i need to fix the route and find some good spot for Card-LvLup.
for now i have a 1:49:08 in RTA and 1:39:22 IGT.
i think that 1:30 RTA is possible.

I was playing around with the RAM watch+search and some LUA script and this is the result
The Lua script show HP and MP + enemy 1-2-3 HP
The ram watch show more things

I was hoping you would find a way to avoid the fight the troll after the malfoy skip. That can definitely go into the route now although I wish we could find a way to not use a card combo but this is still great.
And I really don't understand RAM watch and things like that which is why I haven't done any before now. Did you find anything useful while doing it.

Ok so gand988 found a consistent malfoy skip and I was trying it out when I found this. Basically the train just wants a battle and wants you to talk to 4 people after it and then you're at Hogwarts. We can the battle with a card combo as soon as we get on the train and then talk to someone 4 times. This skips walking down the train, talking to Ron, getting Verdimillious, and battling Malfoy. The grinding after is actually really similar without verdimillous because vermillious works just as well and uses less magic.
So I got another pb. This was only my 3rd run trying troll skip and my first skipping the train. The skips went ok and everything else aside from the beginning of the run went well too. Here are the splits. There is still more time to come off of this and the route needs more refining but overall this is a nice 5 minute pb that is a bad run. I'm not sure how much more time can come off but I'm sure its at least a couple of minutes. Also I'll post the run tomorrow.

Ok so here is the run. Potions was slow. I could have had a 24-25 minute split there and also I did have a slow troll skip because I failed the setup but the skip went well. The rest of the time loss is mostly bad encounters. I would like to get this down a few more minutes but its getting continuously harder. This was the first run after my last pb and I saved 7 mins. All of the big time savers are in this run so theres not much left to save. Also I tried something and recorded the timer to but I don't the right software to put them together correctly so it looks bad.
Here's the run.
