I feel like it all fits together so well!!

[jocelynhale]

I love that this theory perpetuates the “I open at the close” sentiment. To have the events/plots of the series summarized in both the first and last books without it being super obvious is just perfection in my opinion

[justinjyeung]

And the Mirror allows Harry to see his parents, not unlike how he Resurrection Stone allows him to do the same

[euler]

In many ways, Philosophers Stone is like a quick summary of the whole series. There is a monster in a girls bathroom. Harry first meets Voldemort in the aftermath of events involving Hagrid and dragons. There are secret rooms in the castle that no one knew about, that are essential to the entire plot. There is a piece of Voldemort living inside other people. Snape seems like the bad guy, but actually he was helping out Harry in secret the whole time. Harry wakes up after a near-death experience, to have a private chat with Dumbledore. Slytherin has a comfortable lead against Gryffindor, but in the end, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Neville defeat Slytherin, but only barely.

The troll is what brought Harry, Ron, and Hermione together, which in turn led the three of them to bring together Dumbledore’s Army in book 5. Also may I just say, everyone in this comment section, reading all of your analogies are just so satisfying to hear. They fit together like a puzzle that wasn’t designed to fit together

[evelynrowenadawn]

There's something else for the Potion's riddle, which I saw online.

All of the potions correspond with a Defence teacher.

There are three poisons, which represent Quirell, Crouch and Carrow. They are all killers, jsut like poison.
The two nettle wines are Lockhart and Umbridge. Neither the wine nor the teachers are helpful, but neither are deadly, either.
Lupin represents the potion that takes you back. He was friends with Harry's dad, and helped Harry learn about the past.
Finally, the potion that moves you forwards represents Snape. His memories were the cause of Harry sacrificing himself, which drove the Battle at Hogwarts forwards, and helped the light win, the same way the potion helped Harry win.

Now, I will add a bit of my own connections to this forshadowing.

Hermione obviously trusted the forwards and backwards potion. In the books, Hermione trusted Lupin in spite of him being a werewolf. Later in the book series, she also trusted Snape in spite of Harry and Ron's negative propoganda.

Even with so many potions, the real obstacle was always the riddle itself. Just like how through all the problems Harry faced, the real problem was always Riddle.



Yep. That's it. :)

[fugqkgs]

The fact that the entrance is on the 3rd floor is genius. Because who would ever think "secret basement entrance must be on the 3rd floor, let's start our search there!"

[RainTheHateINC]

Skimmed right past the fact that they didn't have to do anything to beat he troll chamber, eluding to the fact that Umbridge didn't allow them to do magic in her class. Also possibly that they fought the troll outside of it's intended place, which could be a metaphor for Dumbledore's Army.

[JustChllin]

For the last room, a mirror is where you look at yourself, and its like harry realizing that he is the last horcrux.

[shreyasjape]

Also in the Mirror room in the Philosopher's stone, Harry defeats Voldemort by his mother's blood protection. Voldy couldn't touch him that day.
And yet again in Deathly Hallows, Dumbledore tells Harry at the mind's King's Cross that Voldemort taking his blood kept the Protection alive.

[daniellemusella]

When I first saw "Goblet of Fire", I remember thinking that the cemetery statues looked a great deal like the chess pieces in "Philosopher's Stone". I count that as yet another example of foreshadowing. (8/7/2021)

[florianricquart]

There's two details I want to add to that theory :
The Key room : As you said, the solution is the silver winged key, which is a grey flying creature. In Prisoner, Harry rescues Sirius thanks to Buckbeak, a grey flying creature.
The Mirror of Erised : The Mirror shows you your deepest desire, and at one point, Dumbledore's deepest desire was the Deathly Hallows

[thewolfgamer]

Can I ask how Fred and George weren’t at least tempted to try and go through the locked door that everyone was told they couldn’t go through. Especially as it’s filch that is seen patrolling the area

[Lokear]

Also, the last parallel is that there is another mirror important to the plot of the Deathly Hallows, one that has a tie to a Dumbledore... *cough cough rip Dobby cough*

[sofiyasharova]

Another chess connection: The plan to win is often intricate with many parts and many pieces, and Voldemort’s plan was also very intricate and had many parts and pieces on the board, but in the end, the intricate plan still falls based of one tiny details, even though Voldemort was very powerful, his simple enemy still thought of a way he didn’t see, which can happen in chess, and isn’t that rare

[kuna]

Theory: Devil Snare was meant to be Neville's obstacle, because Dumbledore thought that he will come with them.

Harry - keys (quidditch)
Ron - chess
Hermione - potions riddle

[stephaniebachman]

I think during the Wizards chess portion, Ron being injured and falling back while Harry proceeds on his own, encouraged by Hermione's faith in him, isn't foreshadowing Cedric's death in the Goblet of Fire, but instead foreshadows Ron's anger toward Harry over thinking he put his name in the goblet. He falls back, and for a large portion of the book, though he has Hermione's encouragement, Harry must be brave and proceed without his best friend.

[rachelzahava]

Book 4 is also where Harry and Ron’s friendship was tested the most when the stopped speaking and then Harry saved Ron in the lake, and the chess game is where Harry almost looses Ron first, it’s how Dumbledore knows Ron will always want to come back

[Nancydrew]

There is also another thing about the mirror of erised. It had the philosopher's stone in it, which can extend your life, basically cheating death. However, after a while, it's clear that the longer you stay alive, the more you're a shell of yourself. Nicholas Flamel is definitely an example of that. He was only in his 600s and yet was so frail physically that you couldn't touch him without nearly breaking him. He just looked like death in the fantastic beasts movies and was ready for death (no longer cared about making an elixir from the philosopher's stone). In the seventh book, you have the resurrection stone, hidden inside of a GOLDEN snitch, which is also a way to cheat death. However, the people who come back with that are also just shells of their former selves.

[SuperDora]

I love how poetic it is. Especially mirror and Deathly Hallows. Also Dumbledore said that Harry was worthy to unite the Hallows because he did not want this - just like the mirror and Philosophers Stone! 😀
