【場景再現】
一次偶然的機會，小哈里波特發現了魔鏡，他能在鏡子里看到自己素未謀面的爸爸媽媽。于是，每到夜深人靜，他幾次穿著爸爸留給他的隱身衣，躲過門衛的檢查，來到魔鏡前。這天，他遇到了校長鄧不利多，鄧不利多開導他說，要遠離耽于幻想的魔鏡，要現實地生活……
D: I see that you, like many before you, have discovered the delights of the Mirror of Erised. I trust by now you realize what it does. Let me give you a clue. The happiest man on earth would look in the mirror and see only himself, exactly as he is.
H: So then, it shows us what we want, whatever we want.
D: Yes, and no. It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest and most desperate desires of our hearts. Now you, Harry, who have never known your family, you see them standing beside you. But remember this, Harry, This mirror gives us neither knowledge or truth. Men have wasted away in front of it. Even gone mad. This is why tomorrow it will be moved to a new house. And I must ask you not to go looking for it again. It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.
