Albedo — (object) Mirror of the Erised
The golden snitch
He had never planned the mirror to cause harm. No, he had made it as a gift. Had the words carefully inscribed into the frame. His friend hadn't actually appreciated the gift as much as the creator had hoped.
"What's the point if I can never obtain what I see?" he had asked.
"Knowledge." The creator had stated. "Now you know your desires, go for them, or of you can't, then you know what is holding you back." He hadn't liked, or possibly hadn't understood, the answer.
"Take it. I do not want it in my home." The creator was sad, but did as requested.
He was found two weeks later, wasted away in front of the mirror, a crumbled photo of a witch in his hand.
