I believe it might be back think about this dumbledore said the stone ws destroyed but he never mentioned thats mirror again. Its possible its still in Hogwarts

Good idea!

I always thought the mirror was a valuable psychiatric tool. Having it and
a bogart (I thought it should rhyme with “go-cart”.) you could learn a lot about yourself.

it may show harry what a horcrux is or maybe how to kill voldemort



Curious, very curious.

I think that jk named the chapter after the mirror because the mirror of erised was the main focus of that particular chapter. But I really didn't know that erised was desire Spelt backwards. Wow jk has amazed me once again

I think the Mirror of Erised, is a way to connect Harry to his Parents. All throughout his childhood and fighting Voldemort, Harry has needed a way to connect to his parents. In the first book it is the Mirror of Erised, in the third he meets Sirius Black and Lupin who are both connected to his parents, in the fourth his wand connects with Voldemort and he see's his parents, in the fifth book there are photographs of his parents and he joins the order, in the sixth book he goes into Snape's mind and see's his parents again, and finally in the Seventh he see's his parents from the resurrection stone. I think it is a way of connecting all throughout, his deepest desire would to be to see his parents, hence the mirror of Erised. However, when he settles down with Ginny etc, he is content and his desires would change, that's why we then never again see the mirror of Erised.

Well no dumbledore didn't tell the truth. But I don't think there's any point in questioning the way Jk writes her books. I don't mean to sound ignorant and snooty but isnt it her way? And her books are an inspiration to many people. So it's basically her way of doing things because she thought it would be nice for the readers.

I love the mirror so much.........
