What You'll Learn
The bridge with floating candles is in the Forbidden Forest
The bridge with floating candles is located in the Forbidden Forest, which is north of Hogwarts Castle. To get to the bridge, you must first obtain the Map with Floating Candles. This map can be found during one of the House-exclusive quests in Hogwarts Legacy, about two to three hours into the game.
Once you have the map, make your way to the Forbidden Forest's entrance. From there, head a few steps west and you will find the bridge. It is a stone bridge near the Forbidden Forest Floo Flame, which is halfway between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. You will know you are at the correct bridge when you see a love letter on the railing.
After reading the letter, cast the Lumos spell with your wand. This will cause three floating candles to appear, which you can then follow into the Forbidden Forest. The candles will lead you to a romantic picnic set for two, complete with a chest containing the Treasure-Seeker's Scarf. This will mark the completion of the Ghost of Our Love quest.

Lumos spell
The Lumos spell is a wand illumination charm in the Harry Potter universe. It is used to light up a wand, providing light in dark places. In the “Hogwarts Legacy” video game, players can use the Lumos spell to illuminate their way through the Forbidden Forest as they follow floating candles on a bridge to complete the “Ghost of Our Love” quest.
To find the bridge with floating candles in the game, players must first obtain the "Map with Floating Candles" by completing a quest specific to their chosen Hogwarts house. For example, Gryffindor players must speak to Sir Patrick Delaney-Poddmore during “The Hunt for the Missing Pages” quest, while Hufflepuff players must locate a chest behind a shop in Upper Hogsfield during “The Prisoner of Love” quest.
Once players have obtained the map, they should head to the Forbidden Forest at night. They will spawn near a wooden bridge and need to turn left to find the stone bridge with the floating candles. By casting the Lumos spell, players can illuminate the candles and follow them through the forest to complete the quest.
It is important to note that the timing must be right for the candles to appear. Players should ensure it is night-time in the game and stand in the exact spot where they picked up a letter at the bridge before casting Lumos. This will reveal the floating candles and allow players to progress in the “Ghost of Our Love” quest.
