Hi Lisa,
The British and American versions of the books are slightly different,
primarily in the terminology, not the plot.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the correct title for the
British edition, while Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the
American edition.
I don't really think there is an issue with these titles, as some will
prefer the original British version, and others will want the American
adaptation.

I was looking at the Harry Potter books today and noticed something
interesting. We have several remote listings wich is fine but there are
also many duplicates on the bookshare site. For example, there are some
books that show the normal book title but then there is a duplicate that
says (british edition) after the title. Also, there is one that has the
title Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone which, after looking at the
synopsis, is actually supposed to be Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's
Stone. The synopsis in the book with philosoper's in the title tells the
story of the sorcerer's stone book. And there is already a copy of the
sorcerer's stone book. Just wanted to let the powers-that-be know about this.
