This is such an interesting thread I had to reply.  My DVD (purchased at my local Walmart) only uses the phrase Sorcerer's Stone.  I had assumed the difference was simply akin to "apartment" vs "flat".  I admit my education did not include much in the way of reference to alchemy save that it was a precursor to modern chemistry and involved the search for a process to produce gold.  I hate to admit it but I suspect the publishers may have been correct.  Few public school children would have known the reference.  As was, the most likely only assumed it simply referred to a stone which belonged to a sorcerer.
