They are hidden all over the place I haven't found them all myself though it could be tough but it is not up to me they are just all over the place

One is the stone challenge in that door on the left then if you hit all the fountain statues with depulso and go up on the S tile theirs another one their also if you go to the left and hit the statue at the bottem with 3 depluso's then go on the S tile it's another and if you want lots of beans go to the right hand door and hit both statues each side and follow on from their it will show you what happens also when I say left and right it's from the big doors coming from the castle

If you are in the courtyard go into the outside area where all the hedges are. Find the wall with a hexagonal shape on the wall with a raised platform on the ground in front of it. Stand on this platform, it will go down. Then look at the hezagonal shape and it will show you a picture of an animal (one of the animals representing the houses) you will need to find the hexagonal tile with that animal on it in the hedge area and cast depulso at it. Then run back to the original spot and it will show a new animal. Repeat the same process until you have found all the tiles with the 4 animals. Then you will recieve beans and a collectors card.
NOTE: there is a time limit to this challenge (between finding each tile) which is pretty short, so I suggest finding all the tiles before you begin

If you stand with your back to the main castle doors, there are three ways to go: on your left is the doorway to McGonagal and Dumbledore. On you right the door to a courtyard, and straight ahead is the bridge to the main grounds. For each of these six secrets, start out at the doors.

The first secret is the collector's card on the back steps of Hagrid's Hut. This is in the main grounds.

The second secret is in the water fountain in front of you. Cast at the bird statues that are around the water fountain. They should rotate and drain the water to reveal a Spongify tile. Once you're up there, cast at the banister, but beware of the imps inside.

The third secret is from a gargoyle. Go into the courtyard and immediately turn right. There is a banister on the far wall with a picture of a three-headed dog. Cast at that to reveal the gargoyle. Cast Lumos at the gargoyle. Then you can go back to the main doors. The secret area is next to one of the spongify tiles that are in the corners of the yard. A secret area should have lit up in the corner to reveal a spongify tile.

The fourth secret requires you to go back and cast again at the gargoyle. (See above) The secret area is at the far end of the bridge. Right in the spot before you step out of it, you should be in between 2 walls. The gargoyle should have made a secret area inside each, revealing two gold chests.

The fifth secret is the spongify tiles in the corners of the main area. Cast at the witch and wizards head statues outside the door to the courtyard. They will make beans appear on the spongify tile. Start there and keep going around the yard with the tiles until you've gotten all the beans.

The sixth secret is in the corridor next to the door that leads to Dumbledore. On one end is a shield that you have to cast depulso at with Ron and Hermione. A spongify tile will open up on the other side. Once you go up, you can collect the beans and card, but every ten seconds or so, the floor falls out, so you either have to keep going back up or staying to the very edge.

Those are all six outdoor secrets. There are other secret ways of getting beans and cards, like casting at the hedges in the courtyard and completing the challenge with the statues (also in the courtyard).
