In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the magical Mirror of Erised is a powerful symbol that offers readers in-depth perspectives on the characters who engage it. Literally inscribed on the Mirror it reads, "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on woshi" (In reverse: I show not your face but your heart's desire.) Instead of merely reflecting them as they naturally are, the Mirror gives those who gaze into it a visual manifestation of their strongest desires. In this volume, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley both glimpse their imagined selves, but Hermione Granger is not invited to participate similarly. This paper will address this exclusion by creating an imagined illustration of Hermione's reflection in the Mirror based on her representations in the first five volumes. To accomplish this, this paper uses the symbolism of the Mirror and its reflective and revealing abilities to discuss her desires. This framework will enable dialogue about the character Hermione Granger that centers her and creates possibilities for re-imagining her. The intention is to offer promising and dynamic representations of Hermione by using feminist approaches to knowledge and critique. I am particularly interested in the ways that Hermione's desires influence her actions and shape her responses to the world around her. Hermione's unique placement in the adventure tale as a gendered and racialized character produces complex desires that come into play through the text. This paper identifies and categorizes her desires around themes such as heroism, equality and justice in the Wizarding world, romance and desirability. By raising questions about Hermione's possible desires, and creating alternate readings of her representations, this paper creates a unique opportunity to discuss the character Hermione in a nuanced, balanced way. This dialogue is important to the larger discourse about the Harry Potter series as it offers possibilities for reconsidering some of the more latent and sometimes problematic elements of Hermione's character and the real world associations that are written into the text. Additionally, I can also assuage my concerns about how the series' audiences might internalize these representations by adding some new imagery to the mix. I will use direct examples from the texts, scholarly critiques of the Harry Potter series, popular culture and media responses to the series and discourse used by scholars of Western Girl Studies. Finally, I will literally produce an artists' rendering of Hermione's reflection in the Mirror that illustrates the potential desires this paper has read through and for her across the first five volumes.
