“It does not do to dwell on dreams Harry, and forget to live”.

Imagine little Harry Potter cowering in the corner of his Gryffindor dorm room, a terrified look on his face as he whispers eerily, “I see dead wizards”.
There were a number of different directors who were interested in filming the famed children’s book and none more so than Steven Spielberg himself. However, a deal couldn’t be made because J.K Rowling (author) had insisted that the cast be almost entirely British, and Mr. Spielberg was very much hoping to cast Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense, A.I) in the lead role.

Ever wonder why the film has two titles? Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in the U.S and Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone every where else? Well, here’s the why folks.
The original title of the book was Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, but when the publishing company released it in the U.S they decided that a few changes had to be made; so that American children wouldn’t be confused by British terms and slang. The title change was merely an added marketing decision as the powers that be felt that most American children wouldn’t want to read a book with the word Philosopher in the title. So they changed it to Sorcerer, hence making it more magically delicious.
