To make things easier, you'll want to grab the Gold Brick Detector first. Either use the cheat (84QNQN) or you can find it in the Owlery (see the above guide). You'll still need to find the red brick eventually in order to get 100%. You can buy the Red Brick extras from the upstairs of Eelops Owl Emporium in Diagon Alley, after you have unlocked them by finding them/getting them delivered by an owl.

I was stuck on 199/200 gold bricks (and 49/50 students) and thought I was glitched. I assumed that the student I was missing had been credited to my son's account when he had been playing on the second player in co-op. I was about to delete my save and start over when I found a glitch that recovered my missing student in peril and a gold brick. This is worth a try before replaying the entire game....
Go to the clocktower. Use the time turner to turn back time. Exit to the leaky cauldron. Go back to Hogwarts. You will be taken back to the clock tower. At this point my missing studen in peril showed up. When I returned to the leaky cauldron, my gold brick count had increased also.
I can confirm that two other people have had reported luck with this. This game is glitchy so it may help you, but it may not.
*GLITCH WARNING*
Some of the Gold Bricks can glitch on you and not reappear so you are stuck out of your 100% on that save file and are forced to start over. We will detail these at the end of the description of this trophy, make sure you read it before starting on the Hogwarts collectables.
There are 200 gold bricks in total. Most of the tasks also have a trophy associated with them, check them for more details.
They are available as follows:
- 72 for completing, getting all the house crests and getting true wizard in every level
- 50 for the Students in Peril (24 in level, 26 across free roam)
- 36 scattered across Hogwarts and Diagon Alley (See the collectable guide)
- 16 through story progression when you learn new things
- 12 available in the Owl Emporium for sale, 6.6m studs in total (11 unlockable through cheats in Roadmap)
- 10 for completing each Gringotts bonus level
- 4 for building each statue under the Leaky Cauldron (after getting all the gold bricks in the levels)
When you get all 200 gold bricks this trophy is yours, the bonus level to unlock Voldemort becomes available. Refer to this guide for the Free-roam bricks.
*Glitches*
Charms Left Class Underground Area - Some people have not been able to leave this area meaning they cannot do anything else in Hogwarts. The assumed cause is trying to leave on the dragon when the game is saving. Also, some people have reported not being able to re-enter the room. Make sure you get everything in one go and it may be a good idea to leave this area for last. Make a backup beforehand.
Library Second Room - Make sure to have Harry and a Dark Magic Character with you when attempting the Wizard (Red) Character. You need to defeat three enemies including a Dementor. If you leave halfway through, the creatures there may not respawn upon returning. This means you cannot get this thus locking yourself out of the 100%
Clock Tower - The gold brick in here has been reported to not appear despite the correct things being done, make a backup beforehand just in case this happens to you.
There are also a few more glitches but they don't affect your %, here is a Gamefaqs thread, (credit to ixbay), that details some of them.
1) Find it yourself
2) Enter the code for the gold brick detector - 84QNQN
