ing from this beautiful classical
architecture which was fashionable for the middle-age’s Europe. “Inside the castle, the stone walls were lit with flaming torches” (J.K.Rowling, 1997). Harry had never even imagined such a strange and splendid place. “It was lit by thousands and thousands of candles that were floating in midair over four long tables, where the rest of the students were sitting” (J.K.Rowling, 1997). Harry looked upward and saw a velvety black ceiling dotted with stars. He heard Hermione whisper, "It’s bewitched to look like the sky outside. I read about it in Hogwarts, A History" (J.K.Rowling, 1997). From these descriptions we know that there are few modern products in the school. Lights, TVs, computers and any other equipment for teaching all do not exist. All things are charged by magic. The little witches are still using feather pen in stead of ball pen or pen. It feels that all witches’ culture and tradition are handed down. Readers are in the position of a gloom and full of alarmed and frightened atmosphere magic school in middle-ages Europe. They are looking forward to happening something interesting and unbelievable with Harry and his friends.
The writer creates a three-dimensional magic world. She mixed many different kinds of cultures, legends and fairy tales of different times. In the story of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, alchemy becomes the main clue of the conspiracy. The ancient study of alchemy is concerned with making the Sorcerer's Stone, a legendary substance with astonishing powers. The stone will transform any metal into pure gold. It also produces the Elixir of Life, which will make the drinker immortal. “There have been many reports of the Sorcerer's Stone over the centuries, but the only Stone currently in existence belongs to Mr. Nicolas Flamel, the noted alchemist and opera lover. Mr. Flamel, who celebrated his six hundred and sixty-fifth birthday last year, enjoys a quiet life in Devon with his wife, Perenelle (six hundred and fifty-eight)” (J.K.Rowling, 1997).
Alchemy is an ideology and practice of chemical philosophy and the embryonic form of present age. Its aim is to change the basic mental into golden, produce elixir of life and universal medicine. Nowadays, science improves that it is impossible. But until 19th century has alchemy not been denied. Some famous scientists including Newton have done some tests about alchemy. The appearance of modern times’ chemistry makes people doubt the possibility of alchemy. After 17th century, alchemy was criticized. The hope of alchemy was dashed.
Alchemy is the biggest temptation of all for the people who pursuing external life. Since people appeared, they have dreamed to gain external life and have done many kinds of attempts. In these attempts, alchemists’ illusion and technology are used more widely than others. Alchemists believe that rectifying and refining the basic mental is a process from death back to life then even to perfection. It symbols those alchemists’ souls from death back to life then even to perfect. So, the medicine they refined can prolong life, refresh man and invigorate the function of brain, can let them get happy life, excellent wisdom, lofty moral, and can change their mental outlook; finally they can communicate with God. But this aim can not be attained. Alchemists also know this; therefore they explain it from every side. They make it subtle intentionally whether the universal medicine exists or not.
