Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Known as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in America.

In America and a few other countries the title was changed to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone because the American publisher believed American children would not know what a Philosopher was. J.K Rowling later stated that she regrets allowing them to change it but didn't mind at the time because it was her first book and she was being published.Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
