How to Reach the Mandrake in the Library in LEGO Harry Potter on a PS3

In "Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4," a Lego-based action puzzle video game for the Sony PlayStation 3, you can earn numerous trophies for accomplishing certain in-game feats. For example, "Student Rescue" requires you to rescue every student in peril found throughout the game. One such example is a student trapped by a mandrake, a tiny plant-like creature whose screams make it impossible to reach without ear protection. Reaching the mandrake to free the student requires obtaining the earmuffs during Year 4.
