... Huh.

... Is it just me, or is Harry Potter now in the same room as the Elder Wand and the Philosopher's Stone?

... Well, there's a great big Dark Lord in the way, but.

Does Quirrell have the Resurrection Stone? If so, that's 3/3 Deathly Hallows (invisibility cloak and elder wand).

He had it when he learnt what it was, and he would hardly have let himself lose it afterwards.

My reading was that he threw the objects aside, not through the mirror, so they got sealed together with Dumbledore's pocket mirrorverse (a mirrorverse... he must have been hiding a goatee under that fake beard!)

My reading was that he threw the objects aside

Outside of the mirror's reflection, and into the real world. It probably be devastating to the government / long-standing enchantments on Britain if the Line of Merlin Unbroken were broken, and Harry will miss out on set bonuses if he doesn't get the Elder Wand.

I've reconsidered. This remains the interpretation I consider most likely, but the secondary interpretation is that Dumbledore is storing them in the mirror so that Harry can retrieve them.

I assumed that by throwing them away, they were not taken into the Mirror with Dumbledore when he sent himself into the frozen instant, instead of Harry.

Also Dumbledore's scepter-thing (Line of Merlin Unbroken?), if that has any power.
