After being dropped from the ladder, it will be pitch black and you won't be able to see anything. Therefore, let's proceed while illuminating with Lumos. Chairs will fly towards you along the way, but they only fly once, so it's okay if you get hit.
④ Turn back if you start going around the same place
As you continue straight, you will eventually reach a point where you can't proceed further because you keep going around the same place. If you find yourself going around the same place, turn back and proceed forward.
⑤ When it gets pitch black, use Lumos
If it gets pitch black and you can't see anything, use Lumos to illuminate the area.

Since there are multiple mannequins, use damage spells to destroy them all. Since there are many, it's advantageous to set targets one by one and proceed with the battle.
⑦ Transport the lantern with Accio
You can transport the lantern on the pedestal with Accio. Take it to the pedestal near the door.
⑧ Hang the lantern on the pedestal near the door
Hang the lantern on the pedestal near the door. When it's hung, the lamp on the door will light up, and when it matches the lamp in the library search (left side), two lamps will light up, allowing you to proceed.
