Did you ever feel stupid?

[Chris Dossett]

Hi gang

I was listening to Stephen Fry reading the books for about the eighth time when it came to the scene where Harry finds the mirror of Erised.  Now I always though that it was a strange name for a mirror, but thought no more about it.  Then it struck me; Erised is desire backwards!  I felt so stupid that I didn't spot this and you are all probably saying "yeh yeh, that's so obvious my six year old noticed it"  Has anyone else missed such an obvious play on words or plot device?

Cheers

Chris (feeling really dim)
