That's a character from the Harry Potter book series. The character never actually made an appearance in any of the books or movies, but supposedly he was some sort of alchemist who created the Sorcerers / Philosophers Stone. It will allow a person to live forever and will turn any metal into pure gold.

The easy answer is the Harry Potter books in the current popular media. The actual answer runs a little deeper, Msr. Flamel being an actual French alchemist. The links below should help with the details. Ms Rowling wouldn't be the first author to adapt a historical name for use in fiction.

Flamel became born close to Paris, France around the year 1330. He initially worked as a public scrivener, making copies of archives, and this stepped forward right into a career as a bookseller, as he bought and acquired manuscripts. in this form he's asserted to have bought a mysterious e book of 21 pages, which became full of encoded alchemical symbols and arcane writing, inclusive of a few texts in Hebrew. on the in the previous, he said that he met a sage, who said Flamel's e book as being a reproduction of the unique e book of Abraham. With this information, over the subsequent few years Flamel and his spouse allegedly decoded adequate of the e book to effectively mirror its recipe for the logician's Stone, generating first silver in 1382, and then gold.

actually the philosopher's stone was created by merlin and is believed by scientists to have been a radioactive isotope which has an effect on lead that makes it appear to have transformed into gold--the atomic wight of lead and gold are close enough that the old alchemists would not have been able to detect the difference

He was a character in Harry Potter. He also created the Sorcerer's Stone. Why is this question posted in R&S?

He's probably dead now, since the Philosopher's Stone was destroyed.
