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.

    While I expect such interference in standalone films, wasn’t this the height of Harry Potter? They had a huge and dedicated fan base that would have gone to any movie in that series
