Now Phil:
I don't think the magic cards have magic as powerful as the portraits  do. 
But there is another way Harry could have Dumbledore lodged in his pocket.
If Harry repairs his two-way mirror and finds the one that Sirius had, he 
could place one near Dumbledore's portrait and have the other in his pocket.

This way if Harry needs help from Dumbledore  he could just pull out the 
mirror and say his name.



Phil, who hopes this will get Harry back to Hogwarts in book seven.
