In the end, Harry alone reaches the chamber where the Stone is hidden, and manages to retrieve it from its hiding place and defend it from Professor Quirrell. They do eventually determine where it is hidden, and that it is guarded by means of enchantments set by many of the teachers at Hogwarts.ĭetermining that the Stone is at risk, the Trio then seek out its hiding place, apparently in the hope of defending the Stone. Once Harry, Hermione, and Ron discover what the object is, they understand why people seem to be seeking it. It is retrieved from the vault by Hagrid, and apparently brought to Hogwarts. When we first see it, the Stone is in a grubby little paper parcel in one of the high security vaults under Gringotts Wizarding Bank.
We are told that this is the only known Philosopher's Stone in the world at present. The specific instance we see in this story is about three inches long, and is kept under heavy guard much of the time. The Philosopher's Stone is, of course, the key object in the first book of the Harry Potter series. Beginner warning: Details follow which you may not wish to read at your current level.
