The Unicorn Door is the first door that slams shut that you will find, so we'll use this door as an example. This door is located in the Clock Tower Courtyard in the South Wing of Hogwarts. To unlock the door, stop the pendulum on the correct symbol with Glacius or Arresto Momentum.

Move to the courtyard entrance and look at the pendulum; you will notice four symbols along its swinging path. The Unicorn is the last symbol on the left. Once the pendulum reaches the symbol, cast Glacius or Arresto Momentum and head back to the door. The gate will be gone, allowing you to enter and claim your rewards.

There are four doors to unlock with this method, which are required to complete the solve Hogwarts Secrets challenge. These doors are all located around the Clock Tower, so keep your eyes peeled.
