Thoughts on broken things

I was reading something about Harry using the mirror that Sirius gave 
him when i had the following thought: can magical broken things be 
repaired with a reparo-like spell?
They couldn't repair his Nimbus 2000. I'm trying to remember what else 
was repaired magically throughout the books, and which of these things 
are regular objects (like Harry's glasses) or magical objects?

If magical things cannot be repaired, then the idea of Harry ever using 
the mirror again can be rejected. If it can be repaired, then we should 
hope that he will inherit Sirius' other mirror, and then the 
possibilities are endless.

I haven't read the books in a while, so if someone wants to bring up 
examples of things that have been repaired or not in the books, maybe 
we could formulate a new theory :)
