Question about the meaning of the word "Immortal"

[Ardhrianna]

My apologies if this has already been discussed, but
it's BUGGED ME both times I've seen the movie.

Okay, Hermoine says that Nicholas Flamel is "Immortal"
so he *can't die*.  Her exact words, I believe, to
Ron.  So that makes me think that Nicholas will live
forever, with or without the Elixer from the
Philosopher/Sorceror's Stone.

So why, at the end of the movie, does Harry ask
Dumbledore if Nicholas and his wife are going to die
now that they no longer have the Elixer?  What
happened to them being Immortal?

Or am I watching far too much "Highlander:  The
Series" here?
