Ah, yes, the website. And the `Do not disturb' door, hiding the 
Christmas tree.
What makes me wonder is the way you can see this tree. You need to 
click on the door reflecting in the mirror, on the right side of the 
screen. The door
in the mirror closes as the `Do not disturb' door opens. In other
words, the door in the mirror is logically the `Do not disturb'
door. And the mirror stands on the `Do not disturb' door right side. 
So here's my problem:
1) Jo's website designer made a mistake and should reconsider how
logic works.
2) It's not a mistake; the mirror isn't showing what is in the room,
it rather opens a way to another place. Consider also that this
place is lit with a candle, while the room is lit with electricity 
(you can play with the switch).
And this mirror could be a clue concerning the two remaining books.
`I show not your face but your heart's desire', the Mirror of Erised
says. Could this heart's desire be another place, or another time 
(Godric's Hollow, 31 October 1981)? And then, what would happen?

Just a wild speculation, hoping this post isn't OT

Amicalement,

Iris
