This deck has a very large variety of things going on. Most likely this is due to a lack of cards, so I will try to avoid using too many rare cards. You stated that you only have base set cards, Quidditch cup cards, and Diagon Alley cards so I will use only cards from these sets.
Lets get started!
The first thing I noticed is that you only have 16 lessons. You can't always count on Cauldron Shop. We need to increase this to at least 20 or 22, which will speed up your deck quite a bit and make it easier to cast large spells.
+4 Potions
Now lets work on your spells.
Platform 9 3/4 gives you 2 more actions, but it takes 1 action to play it, one action to draw it from your deck, and an action to play the lesson you have to discard. So this card just costs more than it is worth. Research is similar.
Avifors and Epoximize are good if you know you will be playing against creatures and charms, but many decks have neither, making these cards useless.
Steelclaw is a must in any creatures/transfiguration deck. I'm maxing it out.
Now that you have enough lessons in your deck, we can get rid of Alchemy.
Transmogrify is good if you want to trade a small creature for a huge one, but this deck is too slow to have huge creatures. Its better to just have more small creatures in the deck than to have this.
I love the card Picking on Neville. It is fairly cheap and could get rid of 2 cards instead of just 1. (Yes, it is a good thing if they choose to lose 2 cards of their choice instead of 1 of your choosing).
Erumpent potion does not do enough damage to be worth having. Use PON, steelclaw or Take root instead.
Fluffy falls asleep isn't as good as Picking on Neville, So I made room for PON by taking it out.
- 1 Platform 9 3/4
- 3 Avifors
- 2 Epoximise
+ 2 Steelclaw
- 1 Alchemy
- 1 Research
- 1 Transmogrify
+ 2 Picking on Neville
- 1 Erumpent potion
- 1 Fluffy Falls Asleep
On to Items
I bet you have never even got to play Winged Keys. You always defeat your opponent or lose tha game before you can play it, so its gone.
Remembrall is OK, but you need 8 lessons to play it, and then you already have enough lessons in play for everything else in your deck. Drop it.
You have so few items that Cauldron shop is not worth it, especially since your opponent can use it too.
- 1 Winged Keys
- 1 Remembrall
- 1 Cauldron Shop
Adventures
Unusual pets is a good one to play if your opponent has creatures, but what if they dont? Lets add another annoyance card in which may seem harmless, but is quite hard to deal with.
+ 1 Diagon Alley
Now for your creatures.
I have left plenty of room for adding creatures. This is where the main damage comes from in this deck so you need the backup.
Cunning fox from Quidditch cup set is a great card. Most spells your opponent will have on hand will do at least 2 or 3 damage, so could take out the Vicious wolf, so don't be worried by the fox's 1 life.
+ 4 Cunning Fox
+ 1 Boa Constrictor

I AM PLAY TESTING MY CHANGES, SO STAY TUNED!!!
