Summary
This quote from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling showcases Dumbledore's playful and eccentric personality. When asked what he sees in the mirror of Erised, which reflects one's deepest desires, Dumbledore humorously responds that he sees himself holding a pair of socks. This not only reveals his preference for practical gifts but also implies his contentment with simple pleasures rather than materialistic desires. It also humorously criticizes the common practice of giving him books as presents during Christmas, suggesting that he would rather appreciate something more ordinary yet useful like socks.
