Professor+Quirrell

Professor Quirrell was a wizard who attended Ravenclaw at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He first met Harry at the beginning of the story in The Leaky Cauldron when on his way to Diagon Alley with Hagrid. In his later life, he became the Muggle Studies teacher before 1990 - 1991, after which he became the Defense Against the Dark (DADA) Arts professor in 1992. Before teaching DADA, he took a round the world trip and spiralled out of control when he met Lord Voldemort. When he returned, he was said to be nervous and had developed nervous tics. His new attire included a purple turban, which was said to have been given to him by an African Prince for getting rid of a zombie. He shared his body with Lord Voldemort for the following year and died while attempting to murder Harry Potter for the Philosopher's Stone in a secret chamber in Hogwarts.

An amusing part of the film and book, Quirrell runs into the Great Hall to alert everyone of a troll in the dungeons before fainting. The trio - Harry, Ron and Hermione suspect it is Snape who is trying to steal the Philosopher's stone and think it is him who has released the troll into the building. They are mistaken, but dont find out until Harry comes face to face with Professor Quirrell in an attempt to steal the Philosopher's stone.

British actor Ian Hart played Professor Quirrell in the first film.
