[HPFGU-OTChatter] British meaning?

[wayne gregory]

It goes back to the roots of alchemy, which is what the philosophers stone is used for. It's properties are that of prolonged life and such. that is all.

close to the American definition of "Sorcerer." If not, I can't 
understand the change from the British to American book versions. A 
philosopher is a thinker, a scholar, in the American dictionary. 
Sorcerer means magician. So I was just wonder if there is a British 
meaning of Philosopher that is close to magician or did the 
publishers just make a goofy change for us dumb Americans? :^)

Thanks!
