Is the first Harry Potter book called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone?
Yes, the British book is called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. J.K. Rowling originally called it this, but (with her consent) Scholastic changed it to the Sorcerer's Stone when it was published in America because Scholastic felt the readers in America wouldn't know what was meant by 'philosopher' or the history of alchemy and the origins of the philosopher's stone. This is also the title of the books in other countries such as Spain, Italy and Germany. When filming the movie, every single scene where the Philosopher's/Sorcerer's stone was mentioned, it had to be shot twice.

JK Rowling's actual full name was Joanne Rowling. However, editors of Rowling's first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, thought that many readers wouldn't be interested in a book written by a female author, so they told Rowling to change her name so that there were first and middle name initials followed by the last name, so that readers wouldn't know that Rowling is female. Since Rowling didn't have a middle name, she chose Kathleen as her middle name, after her paternal grandmother. Her new full name became Joanne Kathleen Rowling and was shortened to J.K. Rowling (so that readers wouldn't know she was female).
