The '''purple fire potion''' is a [[potion]] used to move through [[purple flames]] unscathed. Effect-wise, it is similar to the [[black fire potion]]: it makes the drinker feel an icy surface surrounding him or her, and provides protection for going through the flames safely. This potion was seen as part of a seven-bottle riddle set by [[Professor]] [[Severus Snape]], which was used to guard the [[Philosopher's Stone]], and allows the drinker to move backwards in the [[Philosopher's Stone chambers|obstacles]]. This potion was placed in the third bottle from the right.<ref name="ps16">''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]'', Chapter 16 (''Through the Trapdoor'')</ref>
