So, what do the characters see when they look into the mirror?

~Voldemort
Obviously, he sees all his horcruxes safe and sound.

~Harry Potter
I think this may have changed in the recient years. I think by book 6, he'd see Ginny. As for what she'd be doing...let's just say he'd be glad Ron wouldn't be able to see it. Laughing

~Ron Weasley
His would probably stay the same as before. But now it would include Hermione fawning after him.

~Hermione Granger
Probably herself with her nose in the book.

Anyone want to add anything?

i think harry would see all his loved ones together, like his parents and the members of the order who passed away and of coarse the people still living.


i think voldemort would see harry dead. not horcruxs because he thought no one would ever discover his secret so he didnt have to worry.


neville would see his parents if they were sane. and his grandmother apreciating him for him.


george would see fred.


dumbledore would see his family, not socks.

Neville's grandmother was quite proud of him in Book 7.

but spot on with the first part.

i meant like before the seventh if he were to see it in the first, because that was one of the main things he wanted cause she kept comparing him to his father.

I think almost everyone in the Weasley family (especially Percy and George) would see Fred alive and safe.

What about Snape? What would he have seen before he died? This is complicated, as he always truly loved Lilly Potter and I would say he'd see himself with her with a happy family.

However, if he had got together with Lilly, Harry may not have been born and Voldemort would not have been defeated which Snape wouldn't have wanted. Or perhaps Lilly and Snape would have had a child together and everything would happen the same as with Harry? Lilly would definately still give her life for her child, anyhow. That's just who she is.

But maybe all the logical stuff doesn't affect what you see in the mirror? I don't think it does, because wizards go mad looking at it so it probably doesn't follow a logical pattern, just shows you your deepest darkest desire. Anyhoo, I'm waffling so I'll be off now.

I think if Lupin looked in it (if he was alive) he would see himself

Spoiler:

Holding the baby he and Tonks has and see him cured of being a werewolf.

~Hagrid
His mom and dad alive.

~Dudley
I'm not sure I even want to think about that.

~Mr. & Mrs. Dursley
Lily as a Muggle.

~Ginny
Her and Harry with a family. And Lupin, Sirius, Fred, and Tonks alive.

~Mrs. Weasley
Her family alive, together, and happy.

sorry :/


I don't think the dursleys would see lily as a muggle, they are so greedy they would just have mass money and huge house. nothing with true meaning just things you buy.

i would see me drinking a never ending supply of peach snapple Smile

You see, I think that each Dursley would see something different.

I think that Mr. Dursley would see himself and his family just the way they are, without Harry. I thin Vernon is happy just the way they are, minus Harry. Of course, I may be missing something that is lurking beneath Vernon's surface. There isn't a whole lot of character develoment there.

I think that Petunia would see herself with her sister, and both of them would have Hogwarts robes on. I know they are both way past school age, but it had always been Petunia's deepest desire to be accepted by Hogwarts.

Dudley, at the beginning of the book, would have seen himself with whatever new toy he wanted. At the end of the book, though, I think that he would have seen himself more like Harry in the mirror.

He could look in any mirror to see Fred, they were identical twins after all..

Sorry, but I had to say that one. Rolling Eyes Wink

I think Hagrid would see himself with a big family, consisting of his mother (who'd be as tame as Grawp), father, Madame Maxime, and a few kids, and a lot of rather hairy pets.

that is a good question, and I think Dumbledore saw his sister ariana in that mirro, I'm so sure of it, because its his deepest darkes desire.

hagrid would see himself with norbet or as we now know nebrta (the dragon)

serius (if he was alive) would see james and lilly too, cuz after they died he felt really lonely (remember they mention that a lot)

To the dursley family mirror: I don't think muggles could see what they wanted to see in the mirror becuase they are muggles.

No, he would see himself more humbled like Harry.

Generally, most of the characters would see theirs loved ones, likes family, couple or friends... Voldemort wouldn´t, of course.
