I downvoted them because they used the americanised version, instead of the correct version that's called Philosopher's Stone.

I won't be party to allowing those yanks to rewrite history anymore. IT'S UNCONSCIONABLE! IT'S IMMORAL. IT SMELLS LIKE STINKY CHEESE!!!

    Wait really. Why the efff would that be something to change? I just always thought the editor let an inconsistency through

    It's either:
    That the decision makers in hollywood didn't think the original title had enough pizzazz so changed it to sorcerer to thrill it up a bit.
    Or that american kids/parents just wouldn't understand what the film was about from the title so dumbed it down for them.
