When first Harry looked in the mirror of Erised, he saw:
his parents with whom he's happy.
But now, if he sees into the mirror now(i.e. after the events of the last book), what would he see in it?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

The mirror was destroyed, so I don’t think this question can be answered.

@Alex - We don't generally leave purely speculative questions open unless there's some reason to believe that they may have been answered. In this case, with the destruction of the object, any answer is liable to be opinion-based rather than evidence-based.

@Alex - The problem with slippery slopes is that it's hard to see where the top is until you're sliding off down it. I fully expect to see a wide range of "what would X see in the mirror of Erised" questions....

@Valorum There being dozens of such questions doesn't affect whether they are opinion or fact. Just like there being dozens of questions about characters' birthdays wouldn't make their birthdays opinionated. If there truly are dozens of such questions about any specific topic, a solution would be to post one question asking for every character's birthday, or boggart, or patronus, or mirror vision, and then close all the other ones as duplicates.
