magic world

There is a magic mirror in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Harry, who had never seen his parents, saw them smiling and standing beside him in the mirror, while Ron, who was shrouded in the halo of other brothers, saw himself as the best. "Can this mirror see into the future?" Ron asked Harry excitedly. "Of course not, my parents are dead," Harry said sadly. This is THE MIRROR OF ERISED, and it shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts. Harry was fascinated by the mirror, and often came to the mirror illegally to enjoy the good time with his parents. Because it is only here that he can see his parents who are longing for each other, and can experience the happiness of being cared for by his parents-although that kind of love is only shown in the caress and smiles of the parents in the mirror to him in the mirror. At first, Harry would turn his head from time to time to see if his parents were really standing behind him, and then he would just sit in front of the mirror and stare blankly. He clearly knew that the Harry in the mirror was not himself, but he couldn't help being intoxicated by it. At this time, Professor Albus Dumbledore appeared. He admonished Harry: "This mirror neither tells us the truth nor increases our knowledge. People become vulnerable to it, obsessed with what they see, even mad, not knowing what they see. true or false." Only the happiest people in the world can see their true self in the mirror. But everyone has desires. We yearn to be happy, but we are unhappy for all kinds of things. Desires that are difficult to achieve in the real world are hoped to be satisfied in the virtual world, goals that are not achieved in oneself are placed on children, and wealth that is unattainable by conventional means is bet on lottery tickets. Because of this, some people will become addicted to the Internet, some people will hate iron, and some people will be addicted to gambling. However, whether it is through the virtual world, children, or the "I" who delusionally realizes desires, it is not the real me. To make ourselves happy, all we have to rely on is the self outside the mirror.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone quotes

  • Ron: [Harry and Ron arrive late to Transfiguration, relieved that Professor McGonagall isn't there yet] Whew, made it. Can you imagine the look on old McGonagall's face if we were late?

    [the cat sitting at the head of the class suddenly transforms into her]

    Ron: That was bloody brilliant!

    Professor McGonagall: Well, thank you for that assessment, Mr Weasley. Perhaps it would be more useful if I were to transfigure Mr Potter and yourself into a pocket watch? That way, one of you might be on time.

    Harry: We got lost.

    Professor McGonagall: Then perhaps a map? I trust you don't need one to find your seats.

  • Ron: What do they think they're doing, keeping a thing like that locked up in a school?

    Hermione: You don't use your eyes, do you? Didn't you see what it was standing on?

    Ron: I wasn't looking at its feet! I was a bit preoccupied with its heads... or maybe you didn't notice? There were three!
