I'm still holding out at least for Hermione to return as a Speaking Character.

She's alive. I'd have to assume that she comes back. Kind of odd that she hasn't already. And have they told her parents yet?

My hope is slowly dying, that we'll get Dumbledore back

Harry really should have been apprising McGonagall of the truth, between Dumbledore being trapped, and Voldemort riding around on his finger. Maybe getting Dumbledore out is time dependent, being easier the closer to his capture. Who knows? I'd want people looking at it as soon as possible.

McGonagall's wording ("trapped outside Time") suggested to me that she knows at least the basics of where Dumbledore went. There can't be too many spells or artifacts capable of doing that, or Dumbledore wouldn't have had to resort to an Atlantean relic in the first place.

Note that according to Dumbledore in Chapter 61, Atlantis itself was also "erased from Time" (paraphrasing here). Coincidence?

So Dumbledore is not trapped but simply takes a well-deserved vacation in Atlantis!

The mirror is likely also the tool that erased Atlantis from time.
