In chapter twelve, The Mirror of Erised, Harry discovers a mirror in a hidden room using his cloak of invisibility. In the mirror Harry sees his family, Mom and Dad, this is a very emotional moment in the book because Harry has never seen his parents before up close. Having no family and finally seeing them for the first time is a very emotional experience. As soon as Harry leaves the room at night he becomes obsessed with coming back and the next time he brings Ron who in the mirror sees himself holding a Quidditch cup, being a player on the Gyffindor team. The night after Harry invites Ron but Ron tells him that it is not a good idea and that he will get caught but Harry so absorbed with the idea of seeing his family again continues on. Once in the room for the third time he walks in and takes off the cloak, and he then sees Dumbledore. Dumbledore understands why he has been sneaking out but tells Harry that the mirror will ruin people and tells him that he his moving it to a different location the next night, and not to go looking for it.
In another part Harry, Ron and Hermoine find out who Nicolas Flamel is, the man they have been looking for, they find out that he is the only owner of a sorcerers stone and that Dumbledore and him are good friends. They then assume that Dumbledore is guarding the stone with the three headed dog Fluffy.
In Chapter thirteen, Nicolas Flamel, Harry starts to become nervous for his upcoming Quidditch game because of the fact that Snape, the teacher who shows no mercy, is refereeing the game. Harry is instantly worried that because of Snapes hatred for Harry that Harry will loose the game without even doing anything for Gryffindor.
Overall, the book has been a pretty good read so far. I enjoy the mystery about the book and reading about all of the different spells and things that JK Rowling made up for her book. Its sort of its own lexicon. I do love this book and I am looking foreword to reading the entire series and finding more about this interesting characters that JK uses so much detail to describe.
