In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Quirinus Quirrell appeared to be turned to stone when touched by Harry, due to the latter's counter-charm reacting to Voldemort (to whom Quirrell was biological linked), and eventually crumbled apart. In Cornish folklore, petrification legends explain the origin of prehistoric megalithic monuments, such as the Merry Maidens stone circle. In mythology, petrification is associated with Medusa the Gorgon and the cockatrice as well as the basilisk. (However, as petrified humans cannot consume potions either, being unconscious, perhaps the antidote is administered in a way that could also revive ghosts.) It is unknown how Nearly Headless Nick was revived from being petrified, because, as a ghost, he presumably would not have been able to consume the antidote.

Transmogrifian Torture has been said by Gilderoy Lockhart to cause death and petrification however, the truth of his claims are dubious. #PETRIFY ETYMOLOGY FULL#
The Full Body-Bind Curse is similar to petrification, but it is temporary, easily lifted, and the victim is fully conscious, thus it is not nearly as dangerous. The only effective remedy for petrification is a draught made of Mandrake roots. A petrified ghost will turn a dark smoky grey and can only be moved using a fan. The difference between petrification and death is that the petrified victim appears to enter rigor mortis instantaneously and remains that way, while a dead person enters, and leaves it, within a normal timeframe. Victims of petrification are paralysed and unmovable, and seem to be unconscious it takes careful examination to discern whether a victim is petrified or dead.
