OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH
I only made the connection on my fourth or fifth read of PS.
Well to ask those who gave me suggestions, thank you, to the debate about the name of the book, wow, lots if controversy and facts about the stuff that I didn't know
It doesn’t matter whether PS or SS is more correct in general. The OP is obviously looking for a copy of Sorcerer’s Stone, which is at least the correct name for the American edition of the book.
If I recall, the change in name is because Scholastic was worried that kids wouldn’t want to read a book about a philosopher. There’s not really any way to know if they were right or not, but I wouldn’t generalize American tastes based on the decisions of a few suits in a publishing company.
The actual name is Philosopher's Stone - that's what the author called it, therefore it should be used in a (supposedly) canonically accurate wiki.First of all, this part isn’t the wiki. Second of all, if you’re looking for a copy of the American edition, then you’re looking for a copy that says Sorcerer’s Stone on it in big letters. JK approved the decision to change the title in the US, and that is the correct title for the US edition of the book.
Oh yeah, because america's always right. Especially in a British franchise, you know, they hold priority am I right?
If you’re talking about the American edition of the book, then yeah. If I’m specifically looking for the American version of the book, then I will say Sorcerer. If I want the British edition, or an edition from other English speaking countries, I’ll say Philosopher.
America isn't always right. However, I think America is right in America and British is right in britain.
Its the exact same edition, but the name is different and philosophers stone is literally correct
They’re not exactly the same. They have different covers, and were published by different publishers. The American edition is also “translated” into American English. Its nothing major but jumpers are changed to sweaters, football is changed to soccer, etc.
