Harry Potter and Romancing the Philosopher's Stone

(or Harry Potter and Romancing the Sorceror's Stone for the US ;)

Because no one in the US knew what a philosopher's stone was but we all knew what a sorcerer's stone. *eyeroll*

I think it had more to do with that, if you aren't familiar with the Philosopher's Stone from mythology, the word "philosopher" in a children's adventure film book title might have been off putting to American children but not international (esp British) children.

Fixed?
