How to unlock the Solid Snape achievement in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 - Definitive Guide

Firstly you're going to need to unlock Snape.
Snape can be found in the secret room in Potions classroom located in Hogwarts.
In this room there will be 3 task to complete that require certain characters, they are the following:
A painting that wants to see a member of Hufflepuff - Justin Finch-Fletchy (Unlocked in Year 2)
A puzzle to create a goblin vault - Griphook, the goblin with the key (Unlocked in the first level in Year 1) Thanks to Kinesis916 for that.
A bookcase - Harmione (She is always with you)

Doing those 3 tasks will give you 3 keys, use those keys to release the puzzle blocks to build a platform up, the Snape unlock is to the Left of you in a chest. (Note: There is a Red Brick to your right as well)

Now that Snape is unlocked you need to head to Diagon Alley and go to Madam Malkin's Robes to purchase Snape (He costs 250,000studs, i think).
Now that you have Snape purchased start up the mission "The First Task" which is from Year 4 and there is a barrel directly at the start OR if you arent very far in to the game you can do the first mission and once you leave The Leaky Cauldron there is a barrel on your right.
Note: Snape MUST be assigned to Player 1. Thanks to futrstyl for that info.

You should note that you need Reducto to get Griphook. You get Reducto during Year 4, so you'll have to play through a bit before you get this one. And to be specific, when you get to the vault area there's a chest to the right with a silver lock on it. Inside is the Griphook character token.

I have Snape unlocked and I hid in a barrel both in Hogwards and I tried "The First Task" mission and hid in the barrel at the start of the level, but the achievement didn't unlock. Is there some trick to it?

The secret room leads off from the potions room, the painting you need is in there, not the one in the potions room. With the character locator it should be able to guide you were you need to go.

I don't see a level called "Potions", I've beat the game btw, is it called something else? I'm looking at the list of all the levels on that board where you can choose if you want to replay the level or go into free play.

It is a great guide dont get me wrong but I can finally give it a thumbs up when you include one small detail.

Were is the potions room. And specifically the ageing room were the door is. I can not find this potions room anymore since I have beating the game. And every guide online only says what to do but not how to get there.

The link is for a map of hogwarts, as some people are having difficulty finding the potions room after completing the story mode of the game.

It has been a month since i played this so i cant remember the exact loaction, sorry... But i cant tell you once you are in the potions room the secret entrance is at the far point away from where you enter, on the right.

The potions room is one of the class rooms so inside Hogwarts if you can find the area with the classrooms try each one. Sorry i cant be much help :s

Very easy to get, check out my video I made.

- Year 4
- Secret of the egg
- Make sure to have and pick snape
- Play in free play

And just hide in the barrel. (You need to use magic first to empty it, before you can get in it). Just check out the video for full details.

Thanks

Quickest way I've found after you get Snape in year 4, Start the level "Secret of the Egg" in Free Play with Snape as player one, in the first room there is a barrel to hide in.

Barrels are surprisingly hard to find. Start the first level with Snape as your character and as soon as you exit the bar and open the wall a barrel is on your right full of stuff. Empty it out and hop in.

Snape can be found in the hidden area connected to the Potions classroom, see the collectables guide for more details on where to find him. Once you have found and bought him, start any level with a barrel in making sure Snape is your character. The easiest is the very first level of the game, as there are a couple of barrels after breaking the wall. Shoot the top off a barrel and press by it to hop inside with Snape, the trophy will pop shortly afterwards.

First you need to unlock Professor Snape, he is in the secret part of the brewing potion room. To get to this part of the room you will need a character from the Hufflepuff house, a character with a book, and a character with a key. The character icon is in the chest.
After you open the chest, buy Snape from the tailor in Diagon Alley, and then go to the first story level, there will be a barrel there almost immediately. Climb into it and you will receive a trophy.
