Purple flames

These purple flames in the Underground Chambers

"They stepped over the threshold, and immediately a fire sprang up behind them in the doorway. It wasn’t ordinary fire either; it was purple."
— Description[src]

These purple flames were a type of enchanted fire that were used in the sixth obstacle of the defences surrounding the Philosopher's Stone during the 1991–1992 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[1]

History

After entering the chamber, purple flames sealed off the entrance, while black flames blocked the exit. Only by solving Severus Snape's Potion riddle could one leave the room. The last bottle on the right side contained a potion that allowed the drinker to pass unharmed through the flames and travel back the way they came.[1]
