- "Investigations continue into the break-in at Gringotts on July 31, widely believed to be the work of Dark wizards or witches unknown. Gringotts goblins today insisted that nothing had been taken. The vault that was searched had in fact been emptied the same day. "But we're not telling you what was in there, so keep your noses out if you know what's good for you," said a Gringotts spokes goblin this afternoon."
- — the Daily Prophet[src]
Quirinus Quirrell shortly before breaking into Gringotts.
The break-in of Gringotts Wizarding Bank on July 31, 1991, was an attempt by Quirinus Quirrell, (at the time Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry) under orders from Lord Voldemort to steal the Philosopher's Stone, which was being kept in Vault 713 of Gringotts Wizarding Bank. However, that same day, Rubeus Hagrid removed the Philosopher's Stone from the vault by the request of Albus Dumbledore. The robbery was reported in the Daily Prophet, as it was shocking that someone had breached the security of Gringotts and was not caught.[1] This was the first time anyone had successfully broken into the bank, though it would not be the last.
Harry Potter first learned of the break-in from Ron on the Hogwarts Express. It was later from a clipping of the Daily Prophet (while he and Ron Weasley were visiting Rubeus Hagrid's hut) which lead to Harry, Ron, and Hermione Granger to investigate the attempted theft. This investigation lead them to suspect that the current Potions Professor, Severus Snape, was behind the break in.
