There are plenty of locked doors in Hogwarts Legacy. Find out where to learn the Alohomora Charm and how it works in this guide.
When exploring a castle in Hogwarts Legacy, you will often find yourself in front of a locked door. Already in “Harry Potter and the Philosopher”s Stone” Hermione clears the way with the practical Alohomora spell, but in the game you will only learn this spell once you have gained some experience.

How to learn the Alohomora spell
Housemaster Gladwin Moon will meet you on your first trip to Hogsmeade, but he will not have a task for you until you have learned the Disillusionment Spell and successfully completed the first trial of Old Magic.
He summons you to the teacher”s tower in the middle of the night and wants you to remove the glowing moons of two Demiguise statues from the student”s bathroom and the hospital wing for the main task “The moon-possessed caretaker “ Before you can get to the two statues through a bit of sneaking and good timing, however, you must first pick the lock for the door to the guarded corresponding area.
Move the red gear wheel and with it the red marker back and forth with careful A and D taps until the small wheels inside the gear wheel start to turn. Then repeat this process with the green outer gear and the green marker and look at the two wheels at the bottom right of the screen. As soon as all four wheels turn permanently, the lock will open.
The procedure is similar with the controller: You move the left stick for the outer circle and the right stick for the inner circle. You have to keep the position of the sticks pressed outwards, otherwise the spark will fall back into the middle of the circle.
Worth knowing about the Alohomora spell
The Revelio spell causes magic-sealed locks around you to glow blue. If you have increased the range of the Revelio spell with a talent point, you can see several floors away. The targeted search for remaining locks becomes easier if you remove chests and other magical objects by opening them or solving puzzles.
By the way, the Alohomora mini-game does not become more difficult with level 2 and level 3 locks; you only have to master the respective Alohomora level to open these locks as usual. It”s worth learning at least level 1 of the Alohomora spell, as new Revelio pages, chests and other treasures can be found behind locked doors.
Learn Alohomora Level 2 and 3
Gladwin Moon is not willing to share his knowledge of higher level Alohomora spells until you bring him more Demiguise Moons from the appropriate statues. For the side quest “The Man Behind the Moons”, you must first collect nine Demiguise Moons, which you will find in Hogwarts, Hogsmeade and the immediate vicinity of the castle. You can already find the corresponding statues during the day, but you may only collect moons at night when they visibly glow blue.
You can use this to your advantage: As the statues are often not so easy to discover, you should preferably search at night, as their blue glow makes them much easier to see. If you want to fast-forward the time from day to night, use the F (keyboard) or R3 (controller) key in the map view.
