The CORRECT title for the first installment of the well known Harry Potter book or film series. JK Rowling has personally said that her biggest regret about the series is the name change in some countries, and she thinks of it as 'Philosopher's'.
It makes much more sense calling it 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' as a Philosopher's Stone is a real item that alchemists tried to create hundreds of years ago. Nicholas Flamel is also known to have been working on this. Throughout history, there is no record of any concept known as the 'Sorcerer's Stone'.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the first novel in the Harry Potter series written by J. K. Rowling and featuring Harry Potter, a young wizard. It describes how Harry discovers he is a wizard, makes close friends and a few enemies at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and with the help of his friends thwarts an attempted comeback by the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents when Harry was one year old.

Get the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone mug.The crappy name the Yanks gave to the first Harry Potter book, actually called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Was changed because they didn't think Americans would understand the word philosopher. Which is a good point I suppose.
Me: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the first book in the Harry Potter series :)
American Nerd: Isn't it called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone? :/
Me: Ugh, I hate Yanks. -.-

Get the The Stone Seal mug.To have some form of romantic relation with someone one day, and the next day that someone chooses to ignore you for a long period of time. You, the victim, feel the need to confront that someone, but when you do so, you get shot down and then you die.
