Best Answer

The book was first published under the title Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The US, and a few other countries, changed the title to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stoneas the US publisher believed children would not know what a Philosopher is and that Sorcerer sounded more exciting.
