Philosopher's stone v. sorcerer's stone

Remind me to visit Canada one of these days! Especially as it's 75 
degrees here in Texas and I want snow! I've also always wanted to 
visit the UK as well. So much history!
Why did they change the title of the book/movie? In the US, a 
philosopher is some guy dressed all in black, carrying a book by 
Kierkegaard, wondering whether or not there is a God. (I majored in 
anthropology and had to take a class called the Philosophy of Social 
Science--don't ask!).
