I'm watching Channel 5 (UK) and saw an advert for a documentary entitled "The Philosopher's Stone: The True Story" it said "Is it all hokus pokus, or reality?".

It will tell the tail of the quest for the Philosopher's Stone in the Middle Ages, where many believed the stone could turn metals to gold, and the secrets to immortality, those who searched for it, the events surrounding it, and if can indeed exist today.

Thought other Harry Potter fans would fine it interesting.

I believe it will be showing on Tuesday 24 April at 8pm UK.

Oh that's no fair I don't think I will be able to watch because I don't live in the UK anymore!!! I live in the US do you think it will show there!?!!!

With our wonderful friend the internet, I'm sure you'll be able to view it regardless once it's been broadcast in the UK lol. I'll keep a look-out for it and post the video if I find it or the link to download the show .

The philosopher's stone was supposed to exist. Actually, i took a quiz on Harry Potter and it proves that Nicolas Flamel really existed! He was a famous alchemist at his time, and he was supposed to be able to turn everything into gold, which was the dream of every alchemist. People at that period did not trust alchemists and treated them like wizards but now, many scientists occupy with the whole idea of alchemy. For more information, click here!

ughh....i dont live in the UK!! ill probably find it on youtube or something....

thats really cool!!! that would be awesome to watch!! stones
...it think its a myth though....

Yeah i saw that advidised as well. It looks quite intresting in it's own way. I might watch it as i live in the U.K they should have some HP refrences in it. So yeah i think i will watch it. It said something like is it worth it's weight in gold? Or something to with gold so yeah i am nearly certain i will watch it.

Thats really cool! I never knew that it was actually real, someone should question JK about it

I actually saw this book in coles, and it was about nicholas fammel, it would be really interesting to read and I think I might buy it

I saw something like that on TV too! I saw it on channel 505 (satellite, Canada) and it said something like that! It even made a mention to JK and her knowledge of it! Kinda cool, if you think about it.

Hey, it's my 100th post! COOL!
