1. They just looked at him, smiling. And slowly, Harry looked into the faces of the other people in the mirror, and saw other pairs of green eyes like his, other noses like his, even a little old man who looked as though he had Harry's knobbly knees - Harry was looking at his family, for the first time in his life.

2. A blood-red stone

3. "Now can you think what the Mirror of Erised shows us at all? ... It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts... However, this mirror will give us neither knowledge or 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... The Mirror will be moved to a new home tomorrow, Harry, and I ask you not to go looking for it again. If you ever do run across it, you will now be prepared. It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that..."

4. Harry sank down to sit on the floor in front of the mirror. There was nothing to stop him from staying here all night with his family. Nothing at all.

5. "Hmm... Difficult. Very difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind either. There's talent, oh my goodness, yes - and a nice thirst to prove yourself, now that's interesting.... So where shall I put you?"

6. What I want more than anything else in the world at the moment is to find the Stone before Quirrell does.

PART III (10 points)

Short Essay

Tell me about another ordeal Harry faces on his road of trials. Is he successful at completing the task? Why is this trial important in Harry's journey? What did he learn from it?

***Bonus Points***

I will give you 5 points if you tell me the three movies that the images from the lesson are from. You must get all three correct to get the points. I will keep track of these points and they will be added to your point total at the end of term if you do not have the full 300 points. If you have the maximum 300 points, then I will send you beans instead ;)
