=== Philosopher's Stone ===
Based upon the ancient alchemical idea of the [[philosopher's stone]], the stone is owned by [[Nicolas Flamel#In popular culture|Nicolas Flamel]] and first mentioned in ''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone''. The stone is legendary in that it changes all metals to gold, and can be used to brew a potion called the [[Elixir of Life]], making the drinker immortal. The Philosopher's Stone is seen only in the first and last book, although it is referenced several times throughout the series. It was destroyed at the end of the first book by Dumbledore with Flamel's agreement.

In the American version, this stone is called the Sorcerer's Stone.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Eccleshare|first=Julia|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/229341237|title=A guide to the Harry Potter novels|date=2002|publisher=Continuum|isbn=978-1-84714-418-8|location=London|pages=13|oclc=229341237}}</ref>
