Attempt to Steal the Philosopher's Stone

"Harry Potter. We meet again."

- Lord Voldemort's first words to Harry Potter after he killed his parents.

The Philosopher's Stone was attempted to be stolen by Professor Quirinus Quirrell on Lord Voldemort's orders during the 1991 - 1992 School Year at Hogwarts School of WItchcraft and Wizardry. This was stopped by Harry James Potter who was assisted by Ronald Bilius Weasley and Hermione Granger. Harry prevented Professor Quirrell from stealing the stone by not listening to Lord Voldemort's lies. The Philosopher's Stone magically ended up in Harry's pocket because he wanted the stone, but not to use it. Quirrell attempted to kill Harry Potter by choking him, but Harry's love from his mother, Lily Evans, killed him instead by burning his hands and head. The Philosopher's Stone was later destroyed. This battle killed Quirinus Quirrell, Nicholas Flamel, and his wife. Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley were sent to the Hospotal wing. During Harry's stay at the Hospital wing, Headmaster Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore (usually known as "Albus Dumbledore" or "Professor Dumbledore" explained to Harry about his mother's love, that the Philosopher's Stone was destroyed, and that Nicholas Flamel and his wife will die. He was also given presents such as Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans.
