Yeah, it seems it's the US that's the only different one as I'm Canadian and we had the same as the British/UK version.

Thanks for the video too!

I first thought they had just done a voiceover, but no, they actually changed the book frames as well - seems like a whole lot of work for something so small, but I'm not American. So I don't know how weird it would have been for you if they had just used Philosopher?

What I don't understand is why it was changed at all.

this basically explains it

personally for me when I hear sorcerer I automatically think of magic whereas philosopher not so much (I think of philosophy)

I also am not familiar with the real legend it's based on

also the first edition cover of the book here has Harry flying on a broomstick whereas the UK version doesn't

haha that's ironic normally the only version of the first movie that I can find online is the one that's not American

Thanks for that Alison. I've never seen "sorcerer's stone' here, it's always been Philospher's Stone.

He put his arm around Hermione’s shoulders, and... : power. grace. wisdom. wonder.

i love that Ron and Harry both admit they wouldn't last five minutes without Hermione, in the field outside the Burrow, in DH1.
