that communication mirror. When the title first came up, I joked about
Sirius yelling, "Hallowwwwww! Hallowwwwwww!", but now I'm not quite as
certain it is as ridiculous as I first thought. I find it hard to
believe that the mirror is a pure red herring (not impossible to
believe, but hard).
Carol responds:
Harry has already tried and failed to use the mirror to contact Sirius
Black. I think it will be used for a more mundane purpose, for
example, to talk with ginny, who (I'm guessing) will be HRH's main
contact at Hogwarts.
As for Black, I think that Harry will go beyond the Veil while he's
possessing Voldemort, transfer his spirit to Sirius Black's body (with
permission) to bring Black's body back for burial (foreshadowed by
Cedric's "bring my body back"), and then return to his own body.
Surely, the power of possession is one of the powers Harry acquired
from Voldemort at GH, and how else would he use it except to force
Voldie to pass beyond the Veil?
Carol, who doesn't think that the mirror is a red herring but doesn't
think it will be used to communicate with the dead, which wasn't its
purpose originally
