People debate the stupidest stuff. Does it really matter the title? We are all fans of the same things. As for the covers, personally I like the US covers more. They look more fun
This book and the others that followed helped me through tough times at school.
I was Bullied, isolated and felt alone. I remember going to the library and all I ever read was Harry Potter. those books helped me escape my life for a couple of hours and helped me get through the day.
Thank you J.K Rowling. Thank you for giving me a childhood!
Yes yes, it would have been nice if Miss Rowling didn't have to change the title of her novel from Philosopher's Stone to Sorcerer's Stone. It would have been nice if she had been able to give her real name instead of a pen name.
But the important thing is THE STORY IS STILL THE SAME.
Stop fighting like unruly children over little details that don't even matter.
The problem with the title is that, Philosopher's Stone isn't a concept that Rowling invented, it's a proof of her genius, of how much research did she do before writing the book, of how wide her knowledge is.
Sorcerer's Stone, on the other hand, is a proof of what the editors' intelligence level is, of what they think of us readers. Americans are considered dumber than the rest of the world, and it's becoming harder to disagree with them.
Little things like this, tell a lot about someone.
that poor little blonde girl in the front wearing the green shirt has been raising her hand FOREVER and doesn't get called for like seven minutes! ...it was frustrating to watch. XD
and no, it was a decision made by the publishers most likely, they thought that it'd appeal more to younger kids. so, no, we are not "to dumbass" to understand what the word Philosopher means.
The American book is called Sorcerers stone, the British one is called Philosophers stone. However, due to I believe what was a legal issue, Christopher Columbus (The Film's director) could only get the title of the American book.
This debate over the title is ridiculous, none of us had a say in the naming of this book. These books are meant to be enjoyed, so stop having useless debates and calling whole countries stupid or ignorant. @bphussar Yeah, okay fine you are entitled to your own opinion but let's be clear, JK came up with the title so really you are calling her stupid, not the UK.
"It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well." ~J.K. Rowling
why are people still butthurt about the title change? let it go and move on. it still made billions. bitches attacking americans as a whole.. smh. MOVE THE FUCK ON!
All you people fighting about the title of the book are stupid! Who cares if the U.S. changed the title to "Sorcerer's Stone". Just forget about it! Don't waste your time fighting eachother on youtube, and do something more usefull. That goes for EVERYONE.
@funnyduck5445 I don't think you were ever involved in this. Wait a second... Hold on.. Ah, yes, YOU WERN'T!!! So you shut up, stop trying to be a badass by swearing and get a life out of staring at a screen all day trying to find a comment that you can abuse. Ok? Good boy. maybe I will fetch you a lollypop.
... And surely that spirit of enquiry is something the Harry Potter books encourage! I think the American publishers did the children of the U.S.A a disservice in changing it. Not least because it gives the (almost certainly unfounded) impression of a nation of people too stupid to be able to find out what The Philosopher's Stone actually was. I'm a little sad that J. K. Rowling didn't push for the original title, but I expect it came at a point in her career where she didn't feel able to do so.
I think the change from Philosopher's Stone to Sorcerer's Stone is regrettable since the original title refers to the alchemical Philosopher's Stone which is mentioned in English alone arguably as early as the 13th century! So the Philosopher's Stone was the already established name of the object to which J. K. Rowling was referring. I think it's a shame to have changed it - if a child didn't know what it was, leaving it as Philosopher's would have given him the opportunity to go and look it up!
love her she is amazing she gave kids and grown ups something amazing<3 and people please stop fighting over the name of the book we can both love the book no matter if its the american version or the uk version there both great.
@DrWizardMan I think people would be able to tell the difference between a look-a-like and the real JK Rowling.... and if she died people would make a HUGE deal out of it, specially the media.. so yeah
@CornyTelecaster49 The name is from a Latin adjective which means 'red' or 'ruddy'. She pronounces is correctly, which isn't surprising since she studied Classics and French. :)
@VailaIsMe yea i nkow, but i got suprised cos ive always been saying RUBY-YUS. this is the first time i ever heard anyone pronounce it the diffrent way. but her being the maker of it i guess thats the right way :)
@JurassicParkFan8 You are actually wrong.. The publishing company wanted it to be called Sorcerer because Philospher was to of a complex word for younger kids to understand..
@bphussar I just looked on your acount and guess what?... AMERICAN! The Philosophers Stone came out, like, a year after it did in the UK and ONLY you Americans wanted to change it. Kids here knew what it meant because we actually have an education...
@JurassicParkFan8 Hunny. UK is just about as stupid as they can get. Sorcerer's Stone is a little bit more appealing than philosphers. So please shut the fuck up and have a really nice day. :)
@bphussar Ahahahaha you spelt honey wrong. Also Your just saying that to protect American rights or whatever and I respect that. But Philosophers Stone came out first and then America was originally Philosophers stone too, but then they changed it to Sorcerers.
@JurassicParkFan8 I don't think not knowing a word makes someone a dumbass. Many Americans wouldn't have known the word because no one in the US uses it that way. How do you know a word if you've never had it defined? Are you implying that British children are born knowing what philosopher means? I'm quite sure they had to be taught the word, or else they heard it used in conversation and inferred its definition. Please don't assume stereotypes. That's exactly what Harry Potter is against.
@JurassicParkFan8 Philosopher has a different meaning in America. Its a class in college (or as you say University in B.A) or hobby people do that requires thinking deeply of life in general and our whereabouts. British, American, Canadian and Australian English is not all the same. It doesn't make Americans "dumbass."
@beanybudd the title of the book implies it's about the Alchemical Philosopher's Stone that Nicholas Flammel created to be immortal. they thought the word 'philosopher' wouldn't attract the kids so they chose something more 'magical -_-'. also, How awesome would it be to have J.K. do the HP audio books? *sighsdreamily* i love her voice...
@beanybudd so what if theres no "philosopher" in american!!! The book is called Philosopher`s stone and they shoud have called it that way!!! Sorcerrers stone sounds dumb!!!!
@beanybudd actually that would be Philosophy by the way not Philosopher and the idea of thinking deeply of life in general can also be associated to the alchemist's philosopher's stone as so it was supposed to grant eternal life and turn lead into gold it was also said to grant the answers to the universe and life in general.
@lovelymeno- Is it true? Amazing! Never heard of someone who's met almost 350 million people to make a statement like that. But I guess we're all exactly the same. Omg, so funny!
Ok she is my inspiration and great writer and all that but is it just me cause I think she reads it too fast and dosen't really put any big emotions in it like when olivander is wondering if he should give harry that wand she just reads it blank !! STILL LOVE HER THOUGH <3 :)
I hate when people say "Harry Potter was a huge part of my childhood." Harry Potter is a huge part of my childhood, adolescent years, and future adulthood!
@LucyMatexO I believe it's because us Americans thought "philosopher" would be interpreted differently, but I don't get it. I call it philosopher's stone still. Aren't both philosophers and sorcerers smart?
This video just gives us another reason to love her.She was really getting into it, and I love how she did Hagrid's voice. I also liked how she treated them like they were adults, not little kids. That's probably because my pet-peeve is being treated like a five year old... but a great reading anyway!
i love how she acts as though they don't know what's going on, but the truth is, even if they haven't read it, they knew what's going on... it is harry potter
why the kids didn't ask important questions like How exactly are Horcruxes made? Did Lord Voldemort ever had sex? What happened to Voldemort's corpse? How the wizarding world is affected by a nuclear disaster? If magic is capable by genetics, is it possible for muggles to genetically create a wizard? Do you like Twilight?
Love the fact that one of my fav writers and my all time fav artist have met together - while J.K. Rowling is talking Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Starting Something" can be heard in the background. Two geniuses together! It is @8:54
@chloerheon Chill out, in america they call it sorcerer's, they CANT call it philosophers because 'philosopher' has a different meaning in america. Why are you so bothered?
@hello10577 Why do Americans use the bullshit Imperial system? Same story. You like to do EVERYTHING different, & automatically think it's better. Here's news: It is not better, at all.
@hardstyle905 Erm, I'm not American, I'm British. But I'm just saying, why does it bother you. It's good that Americans do things their way, because that makes different countries different!
@hello10577 No, it just makes things more costly and less effective. Imagine if every country in Europe used a different (metric) system... for your car, for lengths, for everything.
@Taliemistle Jk Rowling pronounced it differently to how the films pronounce Rubeus name. Even i pronounced Rubeus name in the film version as i watched Harry Potter films 1 and 2 before reading her books. Now watching her read and hearing how she pronounce his name, i will pronouced Rubeus how she says it, after all it is her creation :))
This is so adorable - especially when she talks to the little boy at 11 minutes ^_^ It makes me feel good that even the younger generations are reading this book (: And the girl after him is BRILLIANT xDDD
@hardstyle905 Well, I think they do cause it is the most liked comment on this page!! Also, a Obama picture as your page picture that retard can't run a country!!
haha about ten minutes in I totally noticed Michael Jackson's music was on in the background (sounds like "Wanna be Startin' Something"). Anyways, always wonderful hearing Rowling's creations through her own mouth.

Love the fact that one of my fav writers and my all time fav artist have met together - while J.K. Rowling is talking Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Starting Something" can be heard in the background. Two geniuses together! It is @8:54

@chloerheon Chill out, in america they call it sorcerer's, they CANT call it philosophers because 'philosopher' has a different meaning in america. Why are you so bothered?

@hello10577 Why do Americans use the bullshit Imperial system? Same story. You like to do EVERYTHING different, & automatically think it's better. Here's news: It is not better, at all.

@hardstyle905 Erm, I'm not American, I'm British. But I'm just saying, why does it bother you. It's good that Americans do things their way, because that makes different countries different!

@hello10577 No, it just makes things more costly and less effective. Imagine if every country in Europe used a different (metric) system... for your car, for lengths, for everything.

@Taliemistle Jk Rowling pronounced it differently to how the films pronounce Rubeus name. Even i pronounced Rubeus name in the film version as i watched Harry Potter films 1 and 2 before reading her books. Now watching her read and hearing how she pronounce his name, i will pronouced Rubeus how she says it, after all it is her creation :))
