Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone called Philosopher's Stone In Britian?!
Question:
Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone called Philosopher's Stone In Britian?
I know this might have been asked before but I just wanted to hear the offical answer:
How come only here in the states the book is called Sorceror's Stone and not Philosopher's Stone as originally called overseas?
Answers:
American publishers suggested changing the name because they felt that Americans would identify with sorcerer more than philosopher... J.K. Rowling agreed in a fit of weakness (or inexperience) that she says she regrets to this day.
