--I for one don't like it one bit that the title was changed,and in 
hindsight it seems JKR isn't to happy about it either. However I 
think we can all understand her situation. She wanted to published so 
badly and she was new to the business so she agreed. Besides I think 
now she'd rather have lost a few readers and kept the original title. 

I'll put it this way I doubt she'd have done it if it hadn't been the 
first book....
