Who was Nicolas Flamel famous for?

Nicolas Flamel is notable alchemist who, in the series, has created the Philosopher's Stone and is over 600 years old. Flamel and his wife are close friends of Albus Dumbledore. They died a natural death after the Stone was destroyed to prevent further attempts to steal it. Nicolas Flamel was a real person (born c. 1330 d. 1418) who was an author. After his death, some believed that he was an alchemist who had found the Philosopher's Stone. There is no evidence to suggest that Flamel knew anything about alchemy and he certainly didn't live over 600 years.

Who invented the Philosopher's Stone in Harry Potter?

The sorcere's stone, from the Harry Potter Stories, is an American "translation" from the original UK title, which called it the Philosopher's stone. In the story it was owned by Dumbledore's friend, Nicholas Flamel. Flamel was a real person, this is a quote from wikipedia.. "Nicolas Flamel (French pronunciation: [nikɔlɑ flaˈmɛl]) (early 1330- ) was a successful scrivener and manuscript-seller who developed a posthumous reputation as an alchemist due to his reputed work on the philosopher's stone. An alchemical book, published in Paris in 1612 as Livre des figures hiéroglypiques and in London in 1624 as Exposition of the Hieroglyphicall Figures was attributed to Flamel.[1] It is a collection of designs purportedly commissioned by Flamel for a tympanum at the Cimetière des Innocents in Paris, long disappeared at the time the work was published. In the publisher's introduction Flamel's search for the philosopher's stone was described. According to that introduction, Flamel had made it his life's work to understand the text of a mysterious 21-page book he had purchased. The introduction claims that, around 1378, he traveled to Spain for assistance with translation. On the way back, he reported that he met a sage, who identified Flamel's book as being a copy of the original Book of Abraham the Mage. With this knowledge, over the next few years Flamel and his wife allegedly decoded enough of the book to successfully replicate its recipe for the Philosopher's Stone, producing first silver in 1382, and then gold. According to the introduction to his work and additional details that have accrued since its publication, Flamel was the most accomplished of the European alchemists, and had learned his art from a Jewish conversoon the road to Santiago de Compostela. "Others thought Flamel was the creation of 17th-century editors and publishers desperate to produce modern printed editions of supposedly ancient alchemical treatises then circulating in manuscript for an avid reading public," Deborah Harkness put it succinctly.[2] The modern assertion that many references to him or his writings appear in alchemical texts of the 1500s, however, has not been linked to any particular source. The essence of his reputation is that he succeeded at the two magical goals of alchemy -- that he made the Philosopher's Stone which turns lead into gold, and that he and his wife Perenelle achieved immortality. Flamel's house, where he lived with his wife Perenelle Flamel, an alchemist in her own right, still stands in Paris, at 51 rue de Montmorency, and is the oldest house in the city. The ground floor currently contains a restaurant. A Paris road near the Louvre Museum, the rue Nicolas Flamel, has been named for him; it intersects with the rue Perenelle, named for his wife."
