Why the assumption that the trials in HPMoR are going to be even remotely similar to canon? All we know at this point is that the Mirror of Erised plays a part, but we don’t know what that part is, or what any of the other trials are, etc. Using canon information to make deductions about HPMoR has proven a less-than-reliable method in the past, and EY’s essay on originality suggests to me that the obstacles will in fact be radically different from those in canon.

We do know that devil’s snare will play a part.
