Heather Donahue As an English person I can confirm that that is what it means in England as well. Otherwise, how could we have a concept of philosophy? Also, the Philosopher's Stone is an actual mythological concept connected with alchemy, so 'sorcerer's stone' makes no sense whichever way you look at it.
weapon to fight a dalek: .....the air (lol I GIVE YOU....AIR FROM MY LUNGS!) what I will be wearing when I meet the Doctor: pajamas...... :O what I will use to fix the TARDIS: a piece of paper oh my oh me, i'm totally screwed.... #doctorwhoweek #imdead ~Arpitha the Hufflepuff Demigoddess
I found this in my camera roll and now I am highly disturbed. Let me tell you the story behind it... (This is a dream, by the way) So, it all started out in my mom's office. I was with Ron, Hermione, and Harry and we were all kind of talking and stuff. Then all of a sudden, Harry starts writhing on the floor in pain, screaming, "My scar! Voldemort is here!" And then he kind of calms down and we wait nervously for a few moments when..... Voldemort comes inside the room in a red sparkly party dress (which, by the way, did not complement his complexion. Yeesh) and smiles and says "I'm here! Let's get this party started!" So he turns the desk into a table with party snacks, the sofa into this cool lounge thing and the chandelier into a disco ball. So yeah, I had a party with Harry, Ron, Hermione and FREAKING LORD VOLDEMORT IN A RED SPARKLY PARTY DRESS. ~Radi the Air-Nomadic Auror on the Argo II

ReplyDeleteActually, they changed it because in America a philosopher is someone who studies philosophy, and not a sorcerer.

ReplyDeletewait, that isn't what it means in England...?
Actually, it was never realistic as Philosopher's Stone.
ReplyDeleteErin Hill I'm sure there are ridiculous philosophers in the US too.
ReplyDeleteErin Hill The words The Philosopher's Stone, is a proper noun by itself.

ReplyDeletewell, the word has no ties to magic in America.
also, uh, "Sorcerer's Stone" sounds cooler
Nishi Tripathi the word philosopher has nothing to do with it. Philosopher's Stone is the name for the mythical item
