Sorcerer's Stone??

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2008)

Great movie from quite a reasonable book, but why on earth did they have to change the title from "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" to the Sorcerer's Stone. Surely it couldn't be that they felt those in the good old US of A couldn't understand what the correct title meant and had to change the title so it could be understood. It should be noted that there is a fair bit of a difference between a sorcerer and a philosopher so in using the correct title there should not have been any confusion about the meaning of the title. The changing of the title is somewhat akin to the in of putting subtitles in the Crocodile Dundee movie.
