I think we're meant to take this as everyone being outside the mirror. If anyone is inside, it's real!Dumbledore, but he probably has a method of getting out. That's how I read it, anyway:

P.S. how do you quote this? It won't let me copy off of FanFiction.net for some reason.

Look at the html source.

Yes, that does work. Thanks for that (upvoted now, seemed unfair). This is less convenient, but more general. Cheers.

Just curious, what's wrong with someone who gave advice that 1. was asked for and 2. the asker found useful, getting upvotes?

Fair point. I suppose it was that if everyone posted subtle variations on a theme it's a way to vote mine. Or simply copy someone else's answer, write in an "Edit: ninja'd" and hope for accidental votes.

Having said that, looking at the HTML is a much more general solution and probably does deserve an up-vote. But the principle was to only give a vote to the first person to answer, because after that help is technically unsolicited (since they can see it's already been given).

Use http://hpmor.com/chapter/109

Thanks, upvoted for quick response.

The quote is this:

And in the same instant the Mirror changed, no longer showing Harry the reflection of the room, showing instead the form of the real Albus Dumbledore, as though he were standing just behind the Mirror and visible through it.

The real Dumbledore's face was set, and grim.

This doesn't sound like AD is stuck in the mirror, but I think this rules out QQ being in it. Both would seem to be counter to the story, as it can't end just yet.

www.hpmor.com allows normal copying.
