Follow the floating candles at night

Hogwarts Legacy - Floating Candles location

If you visited the Forbidden Forest during the day, pull up your map and skip time as the quest can only be done at night. Fast travel to the Forbidden Forest's Floo Flame and walk to the southwest bridge (not the bridge leading to the forest).

Check around the bridge for a Love Letter item then cast Lumos near it. Three floating candles should appear above you, which you can follow into the Forbidden Forest.
