Want to solve the Hogwarts Legacy A Bird in the Hand door puzzle? This one stumped us for quite some time before we got the logic behind it, as it’s not immediately obvious what you’re supposed to do to open it. Instead, you find this door next to some pillars and a pedestal where you can place the Moonstone.
While it’s evident that moving the lamps requires one of the more basic Hogwarts Legacy spells – Accio – it’s not clear what the solution you’re looking for is for this most fiendish of open-world game puzzles. However, upon closer examination of the clues before you, it should become a little clearer what to do; if not, we have the solution to the puzzle.
How to solve the Hogwarts Legacy A Bird in the Hand door puzzle
The trick to the Hogwarts Legacy A Bird in the Hand door puzzle is to look at the lit-up runes near the door, paying particular attention to the shadows. The shadows look as if they’re pointing at the symbols, so rather than positioning the pillars at the symbols, you need to position them so that the light they cast creates a similar shadow onto the lit-up symbols.
To solve the A Bird in the Hand door puzzle, cast Accio on the pillars and drag them both until they’re opposite one of the two runes that match the lit-up symbols on the wall. It doesn’t matter which one matches which rune as long as they both target different symbols. You’ll know you have the correct positions when Poppy excitedly exclaims that the door is opening.
Inside this chamber, there are also some boxes you need to move around to reach the higher platforms. Cast Wingadium Leviosa to shift their positions, then cast Leviosa to have them float in place if you need to climb up to grab treasure chests.
That’s how to complete the Hogwarts Legacy A Bird in the Hand door puzzle. There are other confusing conundrums in the RPG game that you may need some assistance with, such as finding out what the Hogwarts Legacy Black family motto is or deciphering the solution for the Hogwarts Legacy Depulso puzzle rooms. There are also plenty of Hogwarts Legacy secrets to uncover, such as how to solve the Hogwarts Legacy bridge puzzle and how to manipulate time to complete the Hogwarts Legacy clock tower puzzle.

The creator of the Harry Potter series, JK Rowling, has made a number of transphobic remarks on social media in recent years. Warner Bros. has the licence to make games based on Harry Potter. While the details of that deal aren’t publicly known, and WB Games says “J.K. Rowling is not directly involved in the creation of the game”, it is likely that, as the creator and owner of the Harry Potter IP, she will earn royalties from its sales.
