Now that they have the name "Nicolas Flamel", [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] spend all their spare time in the library, trying to learn who he is. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] is annoyed when he hears about their pastime. Despite searching for a fortnight, however, they have found nothing by Christmas break, when Hermione returns homeleaves for the holidays, reminds them to keep searching for information on Flamel. Ron and his brothers are staying at Hogwarts because their parents are visiting their older son, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Charlie Weasley|Charlie]], in Romania. Harry is staying because Hogwarts is more home to him than [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Privet Drive|Privet Drive]] ever could be.
 
On Christmas Day, both Harry and Ron receive gifts. Among Harry's are a sweater from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Molly Weasley|Mrs. Weasley]], and an [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Invisibility Cloak|Invisibility Cloak]] from an anonymous sender. The note with the cloak says that it belonged to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/James Potter|Harry's father]], and advises him to "use it well."
 
The Christmas feast is very merry, including various magical accessories and truly amazing amounts of delicious food. Following dinner, Harry remembers the Invisibility Cloak, and, obedient to Hermione's parting adjuration to keep searching, decides to explore the library's Restricted section, hoping to findfor Flamel's name. The first book he selects, however, screams when opened, causing Harry to break his lamp, and alerting [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Argus Filch|Filch]]. On the run from Filch, he enters a room containing a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Mirror of Erised|mirror]]. His reflection shows him amidst a crowd of people that he realizes are his parents and relations – not the Dursleys, but [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lily Potter|his mother]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/James Potter|father]], and apparently his other magical relatives.
 
Excited, Harry shows Ron the mirror, so he can see Harry's parents. Instead, Ron sees only himself wearing a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Head Boy|Head Boy's badge]], and holding the Quidditch Cup. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Mrs. Norris|Mrs. Norris]] apparently can sense them under the Cloak, which keeps Ron awayfrom visiting again, but over the next few days Harry keeps returning to the mirror until he is surprised by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]]. Dumbledore identifies the mirror as the Mirror of Erised, and explains that it shows "only the deepest desire of our hearts". When asked what he sees when he looks into it, Dumbledore claims that he sees himself holding a pair of socks, which Harry suspects is untrue. Dumbledore says he is going to hide the mirror, and asks that Harry not seek it out again.
 
== Analysis ==
Dòng 21:
Already having the family that Harry lacks, Ron's desires are obviously quite different. Feeling unremarkable and always overshadowed by his talented older brothers, when Ron peers into the Mirror, he sees only himself, as Quidditch captain and Head Boy, standing completely on his own accomplishments. Unlike Harry, however, he does not feel compelled to continually return and stare at the Mirror's reflection, partially fearing being caught, but also resigned to knowing what it is he wants, but believing he can never attain it.
 
Harry and Dumbledore's relationship is also established here, andas until now there has been little significant interaction between them since Dumbledore left baby Harry on the Dursleys' door step ten years earlier. Not only has Dumbledore remained distant in the story, but he has been portrayed as being rather enigmatic and eccentric. Harry even consideredconsiders that he might be a touch mad. Dumbledore is truly an enigma, and even by wizard standards, he seems odd. It is doubtful that he has ever had much direct interaction with students, being a lofty and somewhat aloof authoritarian figure, and it has been unclear yet just what his role will be in the book. He is, however, a kind, gentle, and humorous man, and rather than reprimand Harry, Dumbledore steps beyond his Headmaster role to gently guide the young boy with helpful, almost fatherly, advice, understanding that Harry's needs are unique among the students. Their relationship will likely continue to grow beyond student and teacher from here on.
 
Of Note:note, Thethe mirror's entire inscription reads, "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi". When those words are read backwards, the inscription is: "I show not your face but your heart's desire". We can safely expect that the Mirror of Erised will play a role elsewhere in the book, though exactly what that role will be, and how the Mirror's peculiar function will be important, it is too early to tell.

=== Further Study ===
# Is Dumbledore being truthful when he tells Harry he sees himself holding a pair of socks in the Mirror of Erised.? If not, what might he actually see?
# Why does Dumbledore hide the mirror and tell Harry not to go looking for it?
# Why are the Trio unable find any information about Nicolas Flamel in the library? Why is Hagrid annoyed that they are looking?

{{Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Intermediate Spoiler}}
 
Harry's desire to have an ordinary, peaceful life surrounded by family is something that follows him throughout the series and helps drive many of his actions in nearly everything. Although he can never be reunited with his parents, he does eventually acquire the loving family he so deeply craves. Ron also sees his heart's desire, to become Hogwarts' Head Boy and Gryffindor's Quidditch team captain, winning the Quidditch Cup. While Ron never becomes either Head Boy or Quidditch captain, he is later appointed as a Gryffindor [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Prefects|prefect]], and wins a spot on the Gryffindor Quidditch team as Keeper, his playing skills helpinginstrumental in Gryffindor's winwinning the Quidditch Cup. While the mirror shows that what we desire may be more than can ever be achieved, it is always possible to attain much that makes for a successful and satisfying life.
 
After asking what Dumbledore sees in the mirror, Harry thinks he has just asked a very impertinent question; much later in the series, Harry concludes that Dumbledore's answer was not entirely truthful. It is revealed much later, in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 28|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']], that Dumbledore's desire is the same as Harry's – to be reunited with his departed family, especially his mother [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Kendra Dumbledore|Kendra]] and sister [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ariana Dumbledore|Ariana]].
Dòng 50:
It is unknown who returned the Invisibility Cloak to Harry until the book's end, when it is revealed it was Dumbledore. However, that raises a large question. When Harry is caught at the Mirror of Erised, Dumbledore mentions that he does not need a cloak to be invisible. Invisibility can be created by a spell, the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Disillusionment|Disillusionment charm]], that Dumbledore probably excels at. Also, the note to Harry reads that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/James Potter|James Potter]] "left" the Cloak in Dumbledore's possession shortly before he died. However, it is learned later that Dumbledore actually asked James if he could borrow it. Why, then, would Dumbledore have wanted James Potter's Invisibility Cloak? It would seem that he has no need for it, after all.
 
This last point is particularly interesting, as the author mentions that it is a [http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=23 peculiarly never-asked question]. It is a key plot point in the series' final book as the Cloak is one of the titular [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Deathly Hallows|Deathly Hallows]]. It should be noted that the author employs a technique to conceal that this is even a question. The Invisibility Cloak's previous ownership is separated in the text from Dumbledore's statement that he does not need one, by several exciting events, even though they happen in the same chapter; the admission that it was Dumbledore who had been keeping the Cloak for the intervening decade is several chapters ahead. Separating the three parts of the paradox removes the immediacy that makes it a question the reader thinks about.
 
Dumbledore's interest in this Cloak will be echoed again in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 10|the seventh book]].
 
=== Connections ===
* The Invisibility Cloak, introduced in this chapter, will play a large part in the rest of the series. As mentioned, it will turn out to be one of the three Deathly Hallows in the seventh and final book. It is noteworthy that Dumbledore here mentions that he does not need a cloak to become invisible; combined with the revelations later that he had borrowed the cloak from Harry's father, it is clear that the author had intended the Cloak to be something significantly out of the ordinary by this point in the first book.
* We see here Harry's longing for information about his family. While this is not so much a connection as illumination of Harry's character, it warrants mention because it will be a major concern for Harry through the rest of the series.
