The one reason the title change irks me is that Philosopher's Stone is an actual term not invented by Rowling but present throughout history. While sorcerer's stone is something the publishers made up. They seemed to completely ignore the fact that the term is set in human culture and invented by the author.

   The only thing that irks 
  me is that our publishers who translated it changed the title.  I do in fact 
  know what a philsopher is.  The publishers here thought that kind of title 
  wouldn't sell because it dosent sound exciting enough.  I actually think 
  Philsoper's Stone is a cooler title then Sorcecer's Stone.  But that's just 
  my opinion.
