The Mirror of Erised

The Mirror of Erised plays an important role in this later part of the book. Think about what the mirror symbolizes, the significance of the mirror to Harry Potter, and the theme captured by this mirror. Create a visual representation of what you would see in the Mirror of Erised along with an explanation of your image. Please post to your blog. :)
  • The Mirror of Erised is definitely one of the beautiful, magical elements Rowling creates. (I have no idea where she thinks of these things.) The mirror that reads, " erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi" really means, "I show not your face but your heart's desire." Harry sees his parents alive. If I were to look into the Mirror of Erised, I would see several things.
  • One of the things I would see is a family. By this point I would be married and would be holding a child. I have always wanted to be a mother and I hope that I have that opportunity one day.
  • The other thing I would see is a classroom full of happy students. I only hope that when I have my own classroom that the students will be happy and will be learning.
  • These are probably my two most desires. Hopefully, one day, I will have both of them!
