[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Quidditch|Quidditch]] practice is picking up again as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] and the team prepare for an upcoming match against Hufflepuff. Harry is horrified to learn that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Professor Snape]] will be refereeing this match, as are [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]] when he tells them.
 
[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Neville Longbottom|Neville]], his legs jinxed by Draco to stick together, hops over to where Harry and the others are chatting. Harry encourages Neville to stand up to Draco, then gives him a chocolate frog. Neville hands back the card inside the package, and Harry sees that it is an [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Albus Dumbledore]] card. Harry suddenly recalls that it was on that card that he saw Nicolas Flamel's name: ''Professor Dumbledore is particularly famous for defeating the dark wizard, Grindelwald, in 1945, for the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner, Nicolas Flamel.'' Mentioning Alchemy reminds Hermione that the library book she checked out says Flamel is now 665 years old. Further discussion leads Harry, Ron, and Hermione to conclude that the mysterious package Hagrid brought to the school is the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Philosopher's Stone|Philosopher's Stone]]. Eternal life and all the gold you could want. No wonder Snape wants it, they think...
 
Harry decides to play Quidditch even with Snape refereeing. During the game, a fight breaks out in the stands between some Gryffindors (notably Ron and Neville) and Slytherins (led by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Draco Malfoy]]). The match lasts only about five minutes, as Harry spots and catches the Snitch before Snape can do more than award one penalty to Hufflepuff.

== Analysis ==
 
This chapter mainlylargely serves as reinforcement.
* Harry gives Neville the Chocolate Frog because Neville was jinxed by Draco Malfoy. This again demonstrates Draco's disdain for rules and for Gryffindors. It also shows Neville's relative magical incompetence and his emotional insecurities. Harry has to encourage him to stand up for himself.
* Snape's refereeing the match further displays his dislike for Gryffindor House in general, and Harry in particular. As seen by how swiftly Harry ends the match, he is quickly learning that the best strategy is to just avoid Snape as much as possible.
* The revelation of who Flamel is, and what he is known for, introduces the uniquely valuable titular artifact, and solidifies Harry's belief that there is an object that needs that sort of heavy guard.
* Harry's overhearing the conversation between Snape and Quirrell supports Harry's belief, and thus also Ron's and Hermione's, that Snape is plotting to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and that poor, weak Quirrell is trying to stop him.
 
The only major plot advance is that we learn the Philosopher's Stone is not only being guarded, but is also sought after. A clue is given to its usefulness by us being told how old Flamel is. Clearly, part of the Stone's function partially has something to do with prolonging life. WeHermione's willdescription learnof the Stone's function explains why Flamel has managed to live for so long, and makes it more thanlikely thisthat shortlythe Stone is, in fact, what Hagrid brought to Hogwarts and what is being so carefully guarded.
 
It should be mentioned that there was, in fact, a real Nicolas Flamel who was alive at about the time suggested. [[w:Nicolas Flamel|Nicolas Flamel]] was born probably in the early 1330's, about 660 years before the time of ''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'' (1991-92). He and his wife Perenelle have made many other appearances in recent popular culture.
