The Mirror of Erised (desire spelled backwards) was a magic mirror that showed the looker their heart's deepest desire. Some lookers had trouble remembering that what they were viewing was not real, and were said to have wasted away from in front of the mirror. Dumbledore also used the mirror to help hide the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) stone.
