For the first time, Harry Potter fans get to meet Nicolas Flamel and explore his magical lair that features famous props like the Philosopher’s Stone. Brontis Jodorowsky shares his insights into Nicolas Flamel, a character based on a true historical figure. An alchemist by trade, Flamel in many ways pioneered modern chemistry, conducting experiments in the hopes of turning lead into gold. As a figure in the Wizarding World, Flamel serves as a perfect case study for how J.K. Rowling blends fiction with actual history to create something magical!
