This goes to show how easily I overlook small details. I have read Sorcerer's 
Stone several times but have no idea what the stone is called within the 
text, and I don't have time to check right now. Since I am running four days 
behind on reading the posts I am sure someone will answer downthread, and I am 
anxious to find out. I also will admit to being a dumb American who would not have 
understood Philosopher's Stone, but it wouldn't have kept me from reading the 
book because I *still* don't understand it.
