Nope. The title of the book was HP and the Philosopher's Stone'. Apparently the studio didn't think American's would know what a philosopher was, and, y'know the movie's about wizards and sorcerors and shit, so better get that in the title somewhere for people who have been living on Mars and haven't heard of Harry Potter.

That's so retarded, given how many conservative Christians were opposed to Harry Potter already - oh, I know, why don't we flesh out the whole occult aspect of it? THAT'll draw out the American crowds!
True, they do have Halloween, but...you know what I mean.
