How to Open Lower Hogsfield Door Lock

In order to open the Lower Hogsfield door lock, you will have to complete the main quest called The Caretaker’s Lunar Lament. You will encounter Gladwin Moon, who is the caretaker at Hogwarts. He will task you to remove the moons from the Demiguise Statues (also unlocking the search for the Demiguise Statues across the game). After he talks about these statues, you will have to follow Gladwin, and then he will teach you the Alohomora spell. If you don’t know, this is the spell known as the Unlocking Charm, which will be able to unlock doors and locks.
