The next and final place is it is located in a dungeon, southwest on the map, in Henrietta’s Hideaway. The entrance is on the East side below Merlins Trial, go down the stairs to find the door.
You need to solve a mini-puzzle in the first room to proceed. Use Incendio on the statue to your left to reveal a cube. Now with Accio or Windardium Levioso move the cube onto the pedestal on the left side of another cube already placed. Finally, cast Incendio on the left cube and Glacius on the right cube and a door will open.
After entering you will come to a room with the Hippogriff statue at the center and some Ashwinders you need to defeat first.
The puzzle is very straightforward, around the statue are some braziers, and you need to light up four like shown on Henrietta’s map. Use Confringo to light a brazier and Glacius to put a brazier out. Once is done a secret door will open in the wall behind the Hippogriff statue, where is the chest to loot and finish this side quest.
Now, as e said earlier this is the same place for another side quest, continue through this dungeon to start the Solved by the Bell in Hogwarts Legacy.
