what does it mean? anyone know, cause i sure don't. does it explain what the mirror of erised does? any ideas?

If thats the inscription on the mirror didn't Dumbledore say what it meant when he was explaining what the mirror does?

That's easy, I show you not your reflection but you hearts desire. You read it backwards, like a mirror.

Any HP sleath knows that! :grin:

Wow, Simatra, I never thought to do read it backwards! :eek:

I always thought it meant something in latin or something. :lol:

Thats clever though you didn't get it quite right simatra...

Love how she moved the spaces so it wasn't so obvious...

I know. I only got Desire until earlier on this year when I was re-reading it again. I thought that it was latin at first, but than I looked at it in the mirror because you told me to, Duckie! :grin:

And I saw Desire. I like the way the E is capitalised. Any other way would be to easy to find out. I wonder what we would see in it.

Duh, your hearts desire! :lol:

by **GodrictheGriffon** » Tuesday 13 March 2007 3:47:45pm

I know, but I wonder what that is.

by **DucksRMagical** » Tuesday 13 March 2007 7:38:15pm

I don't remember telling you that, Godric! :lol:

by **GodrictheGriffon** » Tuesday 13 March 2007 8:02:26pm

When I was a second year or something. Maybe it was YKW?

I don't remember telling you that either :-?

Mabye you're confusing it with something else.
I think I told you about the backwards writting in The Da Vinci Code...

I show not your face but your hearts desire

Hmm... I like it.

by **GodrictheGriffon** » Wednesday 14 March 2007 3:21:14pm

Me, too!It's genius!
Nope. You might have told me about that, too, but this was a couple years ago.
I wonderif it means something similar in Latin, too. Or some other language. Anybody know? :???:

by **Simatra** » Wednesday 14 March 2007 3:29:45pm

No, It dosen't... I've pretty sure.
