3 Hogwarts Secrets Locations and Solutions

Clock Tower Secret and Puzzle

A Hogwarts secret is hidden behind a secret staircase located at the Clock Tower. Upon entering the area, you will encounter a locked door with a unicorn symbol, a giant pendulum, and a wooden beam with symbols.

To discover this secret, you need to solve a puzzle involving locked doors and the giant pendulum in the area.

Puzzle Solution

To solve the puzzle in the Clock Tower, you need to freeze the pendulum in front of the symbol that matches the symbol on the locked door. You can cast Arresto Momentum on the pendelum to stop it.

If you are able to match both, the door will open and lead you to a new area. You need to unlock a total of 4 doors to reach the Hogwarts secret in the area, which can be found at the large treasure chest behind the fourth door.

Viaduct Bridge Secret and Puzzle

Another Hogwarts secret is hidden under the Viaduct Bridge. Look around and you will spot a metal plate on the bridge and 4 braziers on both ends of the bridge.

Puzzle Solution

For this puzzle, you need to match the numbers engraved on the braziers with the symbol below them. You can find the answer on the metal plate on the bridge which indicates which symbol matches which number.

Light the braziers with Incendio or Confringo. This will allow you to interact with the braziers. You can then change the number on each brazier.

After matching the numbers with the correct symbols, the metal plate will open and reveal a ladder. Go down the ladder and head to the end of the secret area. Open a large chest to discover a Hogwarts secret!

Headmaster's Office Secret and Key of Admittance

The last Hogwarts secret is found within the Headmaster's Office, and you need to obtain the Key of Admittance to reach it. You also need Alohomora Level 3, as you need to open a few high-level locks.
