OP My son and my class at school are mad about the 'Harry Potter' books. One child in my class, having holidayed recently in Florida, brought back an American copy of the first book. In America it is called '...and the Sorceror's Stone', whereas in the U.K. it is, '...and the Philosopher's Stone'.
Is there a difference in meaning between the two cultures to have required the alteration??
