Detailed explanation-1: -The Mirror of Erised was a magical mirror, which, according to Albus Dumbledore, showed the “deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts.” The name “Erised” was “desire” spelled backwards, as if reflected in a mirror.
Detailed explanation-2: -Overview. The Mirror of Erised is a mirror that shows the user his or her heart’s deepest desire. There is “an inscription carved around the top": Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi.
Detailed explanation-3: -The mirror has a strange inscription on it “Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi” (Rowling, 1997, p. 118), which when mirrored says, I show not your face but your hearts desire.
Detailed explanation-4: -During their very first conversation in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Dumbledore tells Harry that he sees himself holding a pair of thick, woolen socks when he looks in the Mirror of Erised.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Mirror of Erised, which Harry encounters on accident one night, hidden in a random room, symbolizes how intense, emotionally charged desires can be dangerous. “Erised” is “desire” spelled backwards, and the Mirror fittingly shows the person peering in it the deepest desire of his or her hearts.
