If you're a Harry Potter fan you'll know what we're talking about this week; it's the Philosopher's Stone. You know, that red, semi-clear stone that appeared in Harry's pocket at the end of the first book and what the book is named after. Well, J.K. Rowling didn't make this up, like may things in the series she was inspired by past events and legends. So this week we're discussing the origins of the Philosopher Stone, Nicholas Flamel, and modern attempts at immortality. Because Voldemort isn't the only person who's interested in it. #whereisyourtinfoilhat?
