Professor Quirinus Quirrell was a Professor at Hogwarts who taught Muggle Studies, and latter Defense against the Dark Arts in Harry's first year.
Background
Quirrell claimed he had received his turban from an African prince for dealing with a zombie, but this turned out to be a lie. He met Lord Voldemort, whose body was recently destroyed by a backfired killing curse (Avada Kedavra), in an Albanian forest. Quirrell claimed he met vampires there to cover up what really happened. Voldemort inhabited the back of Quirrell's head and did as he said until he was killed by Harry Potter in the chamber that held the Mirror of Erised that led to the Sorcerer's Stone. Because of Harry's mother's sacrifice, Harry was protected by her love, and therefore Quirrell was turned to dust when he tried to touch Harry, leaving only his empty clothes. Voldemort abandoned him, proving that he cared no more for his followers than his enemies.
Video game Appearance
Quirrell is the final BOSS in Year 1 in LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 and a playable character in the game. Once you reach the final area, the BOSS begins. Voldermort/Quirrell will have three hearts, when you start you'll instaintly see fire everywhere, so you're traped. First Voldermort/Quirrell will destroy some of the ground and fire will come up. He begins shooting fireballs from his wand, so dodge them quickly and wait until he casts a green skull at you. Now you need to use wingardiem leviosa to cast it back at him to knock him out. When he is knocked out you need to jump over the crack in the ground and have Harry touch him to burn him. Once he losses health he will force you back and destroy even more of the ground. Keep dodging until you get another heart down. Now on the final round he destroys some much ground that there's only two tiny platforms to jump on. Keep dodging the fire then send the green skull at him. Then touch him for the final time to beat him along with Year 1.
Notes
- The Professor Quirrell Minifigure was the first to have a double-sided head.
- A flesh skinned version of Professor Quirrell is in the video game LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, though is not released in any known upcoming sets.
- Quirrell was in Ravenclaw House, which is ironic because he was described as being weak-minded and was fooled into becoming a follower of the Dark Lord and those in Ravenclaw are picked for their intelligence.
- In the video game, Harry Potter (minifigure) take Quirrell's arms off and holding Quirrell's head before he die.
