As for the completion of The Caretaker’s Lunar Lament, you need to return all the demiguise statues to Mr Moon, to learn Alohomora III.

Regradless, this will take time given that demiguise statues are scattered throughout the map of Hogwarts Legacy. Subsequently, to accomplish this, you will naturally have progressed through the game as well. This will help you with the next part of the puzzle. 

In order to reach this room, you also need to have access to the Headmaster’s Office. Completion of the main quest, The Polyjuice Plot, grants you access to the Headmaster’s Office. The Polyjuice Plot is a part of the 10th chapter, Stop Ranrok and Rookwood.
