Professor Quirinus-Q-Quirrell's Turban

This purple turban was worn by Professor Quirinus Quirrell, during the 1991–1992 school year, in order to conceal Lord Voldemort's possession of him that year.
==History==
He wore this turban to conceal the face of Lord Voldemort after the latter possessed him following the break-in of Gringotts Wizarding Bank in 1991. Quirrell's justification for wearing the turban was that an African prince had bestowed it upon him in gratitude for removing a troublesome zombie. The accuracy of this story is unknown, although it was most likely a deceptive fabrication. The turban possessed an odd smell most likely caused by Voldemort's face. This led to a misconception of Fred and George Weasley that the turban had been stuffed full of garlic to ward off hostile vampires.During the winter of the 1991–1992 school year, Fred and George Weasley bewitched several snowballs to follow Quirrell around and bounce off the back of his turban, not realising that by doing so they were hitting Voldemort in the face, for which they were given detention for.The turban would have only been used until Voldemort got the Elixir of Life and achieved a body of his own. Near the end of Quirrell's life, he took off the turban when Voldemort instructed, in front of Harry Potter, so the Dark Lord may reveal himself to the boy.
==Behind the scenes==
*In the film version of Philosopher's Stone, Quirrell was wearing the turban at the Leaky Cauldron pub when he first met Harry Potter. However, in the book he wasn't, as he had not been possessed by Lord Voldemort until after his failed attempt to steal the Stone from Gringotts.
*On Harry Potter's first night sleeping at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he had a nightmare in which he imagined that he was wearing this turban, which told him that he must transfer to Slytherin at once, because it was his destiny. It then kept getting heavier and heavier and tightened painfully, and Draco Malfoy laughed at him as he struggled with it, then transformed into Severus Snape, whose laugh became high and cold, with Harry seeing a flash of green light and then awakening. This is obvious foreshadowing of the fact that Voldemort was in fact behind the turban.
