Hogwarts Legacy may have launched in 2023, but in 2026 the open-world action RPG remains a favorite for Harry Potter fans and completionists alike. One questline continues to test the patience of even the most dedicated wizards: Gladwin Moon's request to recover the Demiguise statues hidden throughout the castle. The Hogwarts caretaker is terrified of these moon-shaped collectibles, and he needs players to find every last one. Within Hogwarts Castle alone, there are 10 Demiguise Statues. Collecting them is not optional for anyone hoping to upgrade Alohomora and unlock higher-level doors. The guide below, updated for current players, breaks down every statue location inside the castle.
Why the Demiguise Statues Matter
Gladwin Moon's quest, The Caretaker's Lunar Lament, introduces players to the Demiguise statue hunt. Each statue returned to him increases the power of Alohomora. Without enough statues, many locked rooms, chests, and secret areas remain inaccessible. The castle's ten statues are spread across The Great Hall, The South Wing, The Astronomy Wing, The Library Annex, and The Bell Tower Wing. Some require only the basic unlocking spell, while others demand Level 2 Alohomora. A few late-game locks may also require Level 3 Alohomora, so players should upgrade the spell as soon as possible.
The Great Hall Locked Room
At the very back of The Great Hall, where the dining area is located, a locked room sits off to the right. Alohomora opens the door. Once inside, the Demiguise statue rests on the table in the middle of the room.
The South Wing Haunted Bathrooms
From the Clock Tower Courtyard Floo Flame, players should enter the doorway right next to the flame. After reaching the other side, they must head down the staircase and turn left. At the end of the hallway, a locked bathroom marked 'Out of Order' waits on the left. Alohomora opens it. Inside, the middle bathroom stall leads to a back room where the Demiguise statue is located.
The Astronomy Wing: Three Statues
The Astronomy Wing contains three different Demiguise Statues. Each one is tied to a different part of the wing.
Professor Fig's Office
Using the Floo Flame for Professor Fig's Classroom, players can head up the spiral staircase to reach his office. At the back of the room, a Demiguise statue sits on a small round table.
Defense Against The Dark Arts Tower
Players should enter the Defense Against The Dark Arts Tower from the Transfiguration Courtyard. They must walk through the doorway immediately next to the Floo Flame and then head right. A locked door requires Level 2 Alohomora. Inside, the statue is found on the left.
Muggle Studies Classroom In Dungeon
To reach the Muggle Studies Classroom beneath the Astronomy Wing, players should start at the Transfiguration Courtyard Floo Flame. They must enter the double doors northwest of the flame, go straight forward, and then turn right down the staircase. A doorway on the right leads to another staircase into the dungeons. Beside the dragon statue, players should turn right and then left until a locked doorway appears. Alohomora opens it, revealing the Demiguise inside.
The Library Annex: Three Statues
The Library Annex also holds three Demiguise Statues. They are scattered between the Restricted Section, the Divination Classroom, and the Long Gallery.
Library Restricted Section
At the Library Floo Flame at the bottom of the Library Annex, players should go through the locked gates at the front into the Restricted Section. After descending the staircase to the very bottom, the Demiguise statue appears on a table to the left.
Divination Classroom
Using the Divination Classroom Floo Flame, players should head up the ladder to reach the classroom. At the back of the room, near Professor Onai's desk, the statue is waiting.
Long Gallery
From the Bell Tower Courtyard Floo Flame, players should head through the locked door immediately behind them, the one with two metal guards beside it. Alohomora opens the way. After heading straight through the hallway to the bottom, a locked door on the right requires Level 2 Alohomora. Inside, the statue sits on a wooden crate.
The Bell Tower Wing: Two Statues
The Bell Tower Wing contains only two Demiguise Statues, both relatively easy to find near the Hogwarts North Exit.
Professor Howin's Office By Beasts Classroom
Starting at the Floo Flame for the Beasts Classroom, players will notice a large hut just behind them: Professor Howin's office. The door on the right side requires Level 2 Alohomora. Inside, the Demiguise statue waits ahead on a table.
Storage Room At Hogwarts North Exit
At the Hogwarts North Exit Floo Flame, players should turn left and follow the path until reaching an area with stairs. Instead of going up into the room at the top, they must look for a doorway hidden beside the stairs. Alohomora opens it. Inside is the final statue in the castle.

Tips for Completionists
In 2026, the Demiguise statue hunt remains one of the most efficient ways to improve exploration in Hogwarts Legacy. Players should complete The Caretaker's Lunar Lament as early as possible, then return statues to Gladwin Moon whenever they find them. The more statues collected, the higher Alohomora rises. Level 2 opens more doors, while Level 3 unlocks the most secure rooms in the game. Beyond Alohomora, the hunt rewards players with access to hidden chests, field guide pages, and gear.
The ten castle statues are only part of the larger collection. Hogsmeade and the Highlands contain additional Demiguise statues, and players will need to search those regions to max out the spell. But Hogwarts Castle is the best place to begin. With the locations above, wizards can finish Gladwin Moon's request, silence his fears, and unlock the full potential of Alohomora.
This perspective is supported by reporting from Entertainment Software Association (ESA), which provides industry-wide context on how major releases sustain long-term engagement through exploration-driven progression systems. In that light, Hogwarts Legacy’s Demiguise statue hunt functions as a classic gated-content loop—rewarding thorough castle exploration by upgrading Alohomora so completionists can access more locked rooms, hidden chests, and optional secrets.
