you americans just lost a little of my repsect. Everyone knows it was originally called "the philosophers stone" but was changed when the publishers realized americans would be too stupid to know what philosopher means.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

That statement seems to hold prejudice... in America it is not widely know that the first book was called "The Philosopher's Stone". Also there is a culture difference between the U.S. and the U.K. The word philosopher is interpreted differently in our different cultures. The word in the U.S. is interpreted as a thinker and that only, while in the U.K. it can be interpreted also as an alchemist. So it isn't simply because "americans are stupid" (only some of us are).

by Anonymous 14 years ago

@804376 (Dragonov): I'm American and I agree it's totally prejudiced, but sadly that is why they changed the title. They thought people who weren't British wouldn't know what philosopher meant so they changed the title.

Wow. I really just LOVE it when people call all American's stupid. Yeah, some of us are, so that apparently makes us all the same? The books are the SAME THING. The only difference between them is the words "Philosopher's" and "Sorcerer's". Everything else is the same. They both give off the same message, the same professors, the same classes. So really, there is no difference. I know the title shouldn't have been changed, I honestly think that the original title is classier. And guess what, I LIVE IN AMERICA. So please, before you go blabbing your mouth calling another country stupid, think about it and all the people who can see this.

I'm pretty sure the movie was made by Warner Brothers, an American company. So it would be dubbed to philosophers. But I guess it depends on the release dates...

by Anonymous 14 years ago

.. but with an all British cast etc. Rowling wanted the films to be British so they were. They're produced by a Brit etc etc. (obviously with a few exceptions). Also, apparently WB only made the 7th and 8th? I don't really know but that's what it said on Wikipedia, which is God. :L Anyway, even if they were produced in America, I'm pretty sure they would have originally used 'philosopher' as that is the original word and the U.S. is the only country that has it changed to 'sorcerer' (to my knowledge...).

For anybody who was wondering, yes, the first book is Philosopher's Stone in England and Sorcerer's Stone in America because J.K. Rowling's American publishers thought that children wouldn't want to read a book with philosopher's in the title, and asked her to change it into something more exciting or magical. (Later she said she regretted the change). It has nothing to do with intelligence. Oh, and in the movie every time philosopher's stone/sorcerer's stone was mentioned they filmed it twice, one for the American version of the movie and one for the English movie.

No, we know that a philosopher is a boring person who typically thinks through... Well everything. We don't have the connotation like in Britain of the alchemist, or whatever. I wouldn't have read that book, for, to me, a stone of a smart guy really isn't that interesting.

Well then that's judging a book by it's cover. The fact is that hp is so amazing and has made billions so clearly jk did well, so why try to change it? Why were none of the other titles changed? Hp and the chamber of the basilisk? Also, the american versions actually have changed words IN the books! For example, book 5 at st mungos where in the original book a person has a satsuma stuck up their nose, in the american version it's a nut. Which i personally feel is nowhere as funny as it's way easier to get up one's nose. Do american's not know what a satsuma is? It's just stupid to change pure awesomeness you know? It's british, so leave it british.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I'm American and I've never heard of a satsuma until this comment. Ever. I looked it up and it looks like it's just a tangerine or a clementine- that's what they're called in America. We don't use the word satsuma; I even asked my mom what it was and she had no clue. You can think we're all idiots if you like, but I'm sure there's many words that Americans use often and British people have never heard of. Maybe the American versions shouldn't have been changed (though I don't think they were changed much at all), but it certainly makes it tons easier for little kids to read them in America.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

In my opinion as a bit they changed it for this reason. Americans aren't stupid but they do seem to want to know the reasons for things An american sees the term Philosiphors stone and craves to know why its called that. Why. There has to be a reason. However a Brit sees this and is content to think that its called a Philosiphers stone because its called a philosophers stone. There doesn't have to be a reason why its just a name. So Sorcerers gives a much more logical idea up front of why it would be called that. In some ways your crave for reasons makes you better and worse. I am not here to judge
