Yeah, but in the US, we say sorcerer instead of philosopher. To Americans, a philosopher is something like a... historian I guess you could say.

[LegionWolf]

I'm an American and philosopher is still in our vocabulary, lol. And I know about the Philosopher's Stone and alchemy too by reading things on it, and the term 'Philosopher' used there has the same meaning as it does in the US.

I just looked this up as to why the US changed the title:

Scholastic Corporation bought the U.S. rights at the Bologna Book Fair in April 1997 for US$105,000, an unusually high sum for a children's book.[14] They thought that a child would not want to read a book with the word "philosopher" in the title and,[30] after some discussion, the American edition was published in October 1998 under the title Rowling suggested, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.[14] Rowling claimed that she regretted this change and would have fought it if she had been in a stronger position at the time.[31] Philip Nel has pointed out that the change lost the connection with alchemy

I'm doing a roleplay right now that's about characters like Snape, James Potter, Sirius, and Lupin when they were at Hogwarts. It's really fun. :]

i love the series, it so, i dont know the word, idk, the message in all the books is so strong, it really grabs hold of you

[Moonchaser]

I'm rereading the entire series (for about the fifth time in my life) and the first few chapters of the first book are so....Playful, you can really notice how the author's style changes to a darker, more serious atmosphere later on. I'm reminded so much of why I fell in love with the series that I started reading when I was 10 (now 18).

[HeartOfCoal]

Yeah, I really need to start rereading the series again. My goal is to count exactly how many times Hogwarts, A History is mentioned and write to Ms. Rowling just exactly why she should finish off the series with Hogwarts, A History. That will be my fifth time rereading the series all together, but I've read different books different numbers of times.

Whooaaa fifth time?

[HeartOfCoal]

... Well yeah, it's not that much considering I've read the fifth book itself at least 24 times.

[~Firewolf~]

I know someone who read the series 15 times.
Then again, they read the twilight series 24 times. . .

Im wondering what Pottermore will be about exactly. I hope it will fun 83
