The title of the first Harry Potter movie/book?!
Question:
The title of the first Harry Potter movie/book?
Here in the U.S., the first Harry Potter movie is titled "The Sorcerer's Stone"...but in the UK it's called "The Philosopher's Stone." I understand that certain movies have different titles in different parts of the world, but I don't see how you could title it Philosopher's Stone when they say "sorcerer's stone" several times in the movie. What's with the name change?
Answers:
in the 1st movie, the scenes were they say "sorcerer's stone" were shot twice to say both "philosopher's stone" and "sorcerer's stone". i don't know why they changed the title, probably just to fit with american culture b/c we say sorcerer instead philosopher.
