Some Examples Of What Has Been Revealed
Harry Potter
Harry Potter first saw his family when he looked into it. Not only did he see his mother and father but he also saw several other extended family members (this was from the books and not shown in the movies).
This was meant to describe how Harry’s most inner desire was to have a family of his own, something that was taken away from him at a young age,
Ron Weasley
Ron Weasley saw himself as the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain and also as the Head Boy for Gryffindor.
This was meant to show that Ron wanted to be successful at both sports and school, just like his other siblings.

Albus Dumbledore
In Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, we got to see what Albus Dumbledore saw when he looked into it. He saw himself with Gellert Grindelwald, who was his former friend and also his lover.
In Philosopher’s Stone, Albus lied to Harry Potter and told him that he saw a pair of socks when he looked into it. J.K Rowling later revealed that he really saw his own family together again, similar to what Harry saw.
Hermione Granger
It was never revealed in the books or movies what Hermione would see in the mirror but we did get the answer from J.K Rowling during a benefit reading in 2006. Rowling was asked by a fan what Hermione would see if she looked into the mirror. She said that Hermione would see the Harry, Ron, and herself alive after Lord Voldemort was defeated. Rowling also noted that Hermione would see “herself closely entwined with another person”.
Keep in mind that this answer by Rowling was given in 2006. This is a year prior to the final book being revealed. So she was hinting at Hermione and Ron being together, without wanting to outright say it.
Hogwarts Mystery Reveals
In the Hogwarts Mystery game, a few characters had what they saw in the mirror revealed. Here are the highlights:
Professor Sprout saw a greenhouse that was full of Puffapods, which are magical plants. She is best known for being the Herbology Professor at Hogwarts.
Talbott Winger saw himself reunited with his parents, who were both dead. He is only known for being a character in Hogwarts Mystery.
