No, I’m talking about mirrors as used in the occult - a very common practice.

Of course, every 8-year old who might read that would run and find the closest mirror, try talking into it, fail, and then go on to the next fun thing to do. At least in reality, anyway. In PM world, the mirrors might talk back, leading the 8-year olds into an eternity of hellfire.

These things only work as part of occult magic. Their use in HP is a special-effects version, but MIRRORS are actually used by occultists.

I'd settle for a mirror that shows me with a full head of hair and washboard abs.

I did something similar after reading Alice in Wonderland. I must have actually fallen through the mirror, 'cuz this sure doesn't look like my universe!
