::Raises hand sheepishly::  I have the Canadian version too.  The change in
title of the first book has always been one of my pet peeves, so I get a real
kick out of hearing the kids say "Philosopher's Stone" like they should.  Try
http://www.amazon.ca - and you gotta love that exchange rate!

Oh, and I don't even think about it any more - I always buy the wide screen
format.  The black bars don't bother me, and it's not squished like it used to
be in the good ol' days.  But watching the wide screen DVD in zoom mode to get
rid of the black bars isn't as nice as the full screen version, because the
full screen version has been reformatted to put the important stuff in the
center.  Like when Harry is sitting in front of the park when the playground
equipment starts to move and he's off to the side - he gets cut off if you
watch the wide screen DVD in zoom mode.  So if you can't deal with the bars,
get the full screen version - but do borrow the wide screen version, you might
get used to the bars.  Or be like me and dream of buying a wide screen TV :->
