What 70 HP Characters Would See in the Mirror of Erised (Harry Potter Explained / Theory)

[@lisanguyen2015]

I read a theory somewhere that Fred and George discovered the Mirror Of Erised in their 1st year, but when they look into it, all they see was the two of them, side by side, just like in real life, so the thought it was just a normal mirror and leave the room. Years later, when George look into the mirror again, he saw both of them, standing side by side, and he finally understand what the mirror is.

I would argue that Bellatrix is slightly more loyal to Voldemort than even B. C. Jr. They're both terrible people who are obsessed with Voldemort, but for me it comes down to B. C. Jr denying his involvement with the death eaters during his trial, while Bellatrix never tried to hide her devotion

@@melkhiordarkfell4354 that's a fair point as well. My only counter would be that I don't think the Lestranges would ever consider renouncing Voldemort. That's how strong their loyalty was. On the other hand, Crouch probably wanted to stay out of Azkaban to find Voldemort in secret

I also think Cedric saw Harry as more of a partner than an opponent, after Harry told him about the first task being dragons.

[@zeeshanismail7768]

i disagree cedric is a fair guy he wanted a rematch in prisoner of azkaban when harry fell off his broom, gave harry a hint of second clue bcz harry had warned him about dragons, he offered harry the cup not bcz he saw him as a partner bcz harry had saved him twice during the maze and he knew harry would have been on first place in 2nd task if harry had not taken the riddle too seriously. this all shows that cedric is not completely selfless but always want to repay those whom he owe and wants to win fair and square for his house

I definitely appreciate the effort and the premise, but a lot of these make the side characters seem really shallow. Like Seamus' deepest heart's desire is seeing himself believing Harry? I know we simply don't have enough info about him to think otherwise, but there's just no way these people's greatest desires are only surrounding what Rowling presents us in the general plot. I would've suggested making this video with way fewer characters, and only the ones we have a ton of backstory on like Hagrid/Voldemort.

In my head, Harry's mirror-vision would change once he got married and had kids. I think he would see his immideate family (including Teddy) with Teddy's parents stading behind his godson, James and Lily behind himself, and Sirius next to James (I feel that he would've liked to see James and Sirius interact). The Weasleys (including Fred) might've been there too. When he was younger, he wasn't sure what family looked like, so he went with only biological, but as he got older, and created a new, mismatched family, he would've seen that one whole and complete.

One thing I'd like to add about Petunia, I think the main reason she wanted to go to Hogwarts was to have more quality time with her sister, so I think that if she looks into the mirror, she'll see herself and Lily making amends, and growing happy with each other's families.

[@zeeshanismail7768]

i disagree with what i have understood of her character she is clearly jealous that her younger sister is able to do things she can't do she desperately want be like her even be better than her but she can't, that puts her in an inferiority complex AND maybe she feels like she is getting less attention from her parents as they are very proud about lily being a sorceress maybe she felt like she was being neglected that might be the cause of her jealousy

[@normansmith9110]

I've actually imagined that Petunia would one day be reconciled with Lily but Lily died early.

[@EikshaBisht]

Well, Aunt Petunia's desires also must have changed.....Maybe initially she was pretty jealous of Lily's ability and also because their parents were happy to have a witch in the family....But later in life (very late actually) she must have wanted to reconcile with her and her stance against her sister must have softened (I say this in reference to the last book Deathly Hallows where she was bidding farewell to Harry while leaving Privit Drive, she just stood there looking at him in silence for few minutes and then left)

[@tjdj3835]

Yes thats it..He would have seen himself with Lily in the mirror while in his school days but as an adult he would see Lily alone or maybe with Harry happy and alive. (No way he would see James, not because he was Lily's husband but he was his abuser- a victim would not see his abuser on the mirror of erised) Furthermore He has accepted her as Lily Potter as we can see in deathly hallows as he calls her as "Lily Potter" not "Lily Evans" in the final confrontation with Dumbledore.

[@AHunt2024]

i do also think Petunia may have seen herself reconciled with lily in the mirror, as an adult after lily's death "You didn't just lose a mother that night in Godric's Hollow, you know. I lost a sister" i think deep down she felt incredibly guilty about what happened with her relationship with lily, how her jealousy ruined their relationship and regretted not reconciling before lily died Which is also why she continued to protect harry after vernon wanted to throw him out, she knew how important it was to keep him safe, for both harry and for lily's memory

That is true and is a valid theory but it should also be said that the scars on his face was from a vicious attack.

[@EnchantedSpoons]

When you think about it, the mirror of Erised is the most busted object of the series, that could break literally any plot. Harry saw his parents in the movie / saw in his ancestors in the book. But, in real life, he never saw them, not a picture, nothing... So, the mirror understood the desire of something Harry never felt/saw/have memories of and showed the reality and the concept of the desire to the exact details. This mirror is capable of projecting "truth" unknown to the user... You could abuse the crap out of that... A confusion or memory spell on a person to change his deepest desire. And you can have instant visualization of a projection of what the person wants. Let's create a few examples : 1. Confusion spell on Sirius Black to lower his regret of losing his friends and to augment his desire to find the location Peter Pettigrew... Mirror shows the location of Peter... 2. Confusion spell on Albus or Harry to know the location of the Horcruxes and it would show the locations of the Horcruxes.... 3. Confusion spell on a victim of Death eaters to know who killed their family and boom, projection of the murderers... Let's do the ministry work the easy way... I could go on and on and never stop.

I don't think it would work that way. It only shows the deepest desire of your heart. For example: I dont think it would ever show Sirius' desire to be Peter Pettigrew. It would show James and Lily Potter, beside him. Same for everyone else. It would never show you how to cope with things that aren't making you happy (your parents being dead, voldemort existing, Pettigrews betrayal, etc). It would just show you at your happiest. And in that image, Voldemort wouldn't even exist, let alone be visible as someones deepest desire (maybe Bellatrixes desire, but Im not sure) Anyways, thats how I would look at it.

About petunia I strongly believe that her desire to go to hogwarts was before Lily’s death.

[@eranshachar9954]

I think Pettigrew, would see himself back again with his childhood friends. I think that maybe, in his heart he wanted them back, and felt deep regret for what he did. I think that kid Tom Marvolo Riddle, would see himself with his parents, would see himself loved, even that he can't feel love, he needed someone to love him at this age. Spot on with the desire of Bellatrix. I just want to say- Bellatrix was a fake person. Because she cast out her own sister Andromeda, for marrying a Muggle-Born. And there she goes, falling in love with a Half-Blood, and by the Cursed Child garbage, giving him a child. Bellatrix wouldn't be the only one, to be mad if she hears what you said. I can hear Dolohov from his grave- Am I a joke to you Muggle? I think about Andromeda. If she would look in the mirror, prior to the deaths of her husband and daughter, she would see herself with her sisters and parents, because she loved them very much, and she wanted to enjoy both of the worlds.
