From an invisibility cloak to the resurrection stone, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is filled with enchanted objects we muggles can only dream of getting our hands on. But now Harry Potter fans can see their hearts’ desires thanks to this super affordable replica of the Erised Mirror at Target.
With a gilded frame, spires, and intricate detailing, this mirror looks just like the one in the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (though the one in the movie only had two spires, while this one has three). Carved along the top of the mirror is the engraving from the books and movies: "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi." Read backwards, the message says, “I show you not your face but your heart's desire.”
Though the mirror in the books and movies is full-length, this one won’t take up much space in your home. It weighs about four pounds and is 20.66-by-9.37 inches, so you can place it on your vanity or even mount it to a wall.
Customers love this highly rated mirror’s sturdiness and details. One of their favorite parts about it is that it rings in at just $29.99. “This is a great buy for the cost! It has beautiful detailing and truly looks high-end,” one customer wrote. “I was shocked at how nice the quality is, I figured it would be a cheap plastic but it actually has some weight to it. Beautiful, unique and a great household addition for any Harry Potter fan!”
Searching for a full-length Erised Mirror? Pottery Barn Teen is selling one, but it’s going to cost you quite a bit more. Its price tag is $399.
