    Default Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone not Sorceror's St

    The one we have is Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone # SLUS-01417. The one listed in the online guide is Harry Potter & The Sorceror's stone.


    Anyone have any idea what the difference is?

    Im new at this, can I submit games?

    Thanks!

    That's the PAL name for it.

    For some odd reason, they changed the name of the book to Sorceror's Stone in the US.

    They are both NTSC, looks like "Philosopher's" is Canadian (has bi-lingual on the back) and "Sorcerer's" is USA, as it is just English. I don't see the Canadian one in the rarity guide. Any way of adding it?

    It's because they didn't think American readers would know what a philosopher's stone was.

    (before you all rush off to Wikipedia, it's reputedly a material that enables the transmuting of a substance from one form to another, more specifically used in reference to alchemy, the creation of gold from base metals)
