Nice. I just started the Trophy Room part and have a time of 1:32:17. This is largely due to not remembering where one of the ingredients was at, which cost me at least twenty minutes. I also spent a few more seconds to make ten more wiggenweld potions just in case.
I only had to fight the History of Magic rat twice though, at level 8. However, I used a card combo called Snitch Streak which stopped the big rat while I healed and killed the small rats. This made the fight super easy, and might be a consideration. I think I got it from the green deck at the beginning, but not sure because I mashed A through it. The only problem is that Cards are random, and so not able to be counted on. I think I'll have to do some grinding before the troll, as I don't think I'm anywhere near Verdimillious Duo.
Some notes:
-It takes three fights to level up before the first boss.
-The first boss drops Hardened Boots.
-Malfoy drops a Grand Wiggenweld Potion.
-There is a Pepper-Up Potion behind the sphinx right next to Nearly-Headless Nick. Probably saves 3-4 seconds total over ingredient farming for an extra.
-Finally, you don't need the potion recipe to make the potion, just the right ingredients! This removes the trip to pick up the Pepper-up Potion recipe at least. I haven't tried skipping going back to Snape after Herbology, though I figure it's probably a story-event and you can't progress without doing so.
That's all I have for now; hopefully it helps!
