The Viaduct Bridge: Hogwarts' First Riddle

This bridge connecting Library Annex to Great Hall hides a puzzle slicker than Slytherin's prefect badges. Four unlit braziers stare at you like judgmental owls – each with Roman numeral dials. The solution? A stone circle on the ground near the Annex side shows symbols matching the braziers:
| Symbol | Numeral |
|---|---|
| 🔻 Upside-down triangle | I (1) |
| 🌙 Crescent | II (2) |
| ⏺️ Triangle with circle | III (3) |
| 💠 Diamond with X | IV (4) |
Light them in order with Incendio, and poof! The floor vanishes like a disapparating house-elf, revealing:
