This has always been one of my favourite passages from the HP books:
"It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts. You, who have never known your family, see them standing around you. Ron Weasley, who has always been overshadowed by his brothers, sees himself standing alone, the best of all of them. However, this mirror will give us neither knowledge nor truth. Men have wasted away before it, entranced by what they have seen, or been driven mad, not knowing if what it shows is real or even possible. [...]
"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that."
-- Professor Dumbledore on the Mirror of Erised, Ch.12
anyone else have a fav sentence/passage so far? :)
