Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Philosopher Vs. Sorcerer
As you may or may not know, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was originally called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. If you live in America, it is more likely that you call the first book of the series "The Sorcerer's Stone", but if you live in England or anywhere else, you probably call it "The Philosopher's Stone". As you also probably know, the movie version of the first book goes by the name of "Sorcerer's Stone". But why have different names for the book? To be honest, I have no idea. Neither does any other book, website, or living person I've checked with. If you know the true answer to this name confusion, please do us all a favor and e-mail me at the bottom of this page!
Quirinus Quirrell / Lord Voldemort
Quirrell. Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, and Lord Voldemort's life source. I never took a particular liking to him, but I thought he was pretty cool. Well, I thought he was pretty cool until he took off his turban in front of Harry! Some people have forgotten already how Lord Voldemort got on the other side of his head! Incase you've forgotten as well, I'll tell you! You see, poor Quirinus Quirrell found Voldemort's spirit. Voldemort convinced Quirrell to let him share a body with him, and, well, you know what happens after that!
Deatheater or not?
A question that a ton of people are confused about, one of them being me, is if Quirrell was a deatheater or not. Most people say that he wasn't, that he was hopeless and confused so he was almost hypnotized by Voldemort. Others say that he was under the imperius curse, which wouldn't really make sense if Voldemort didn't have a wand or anything, and he was close to death........Well I'll let you decide! E-mail me telling me if you think Quirrell was a deatheater or not!
Random Trevor Fact!
As you probably remember in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Neville Longbottom has a pet toad. His name is Trevor. In the Spanish translated version of the first book, Trevor the toad is Trevor the turtle! Don't ask me why though. I have no idea!
