Voldemort spelled backwards in ancient Elvish is J.K. Rowling. Have you noticed that Voldemort gets more powerful in every book? She's chronicaling her rise to power, and every poor sap who reads the final book will be transformed into a death-eater.
That's right, the 7th book will be
Harry Potter and the Long Dark Sleep.

Democrats for Harry Potter. Republicans for Voldemort. I want both bumper stickers... Anyhoot: Harry Potter and the annihilation. (couldn't think of a better title, *sigh*)
In this book, everyone dies. Well according to JK herself, when asked if she would write about the adventures of Harry's kids, she replied: "Who says that he will live long enough to have them?" In other words, my bet is that Harry will die. Probably he will turn out to be one of the horcruxes and when he kills Moldymort, he will die too. Typical tragic hero.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of fudge delight, I always liked that one.
Anyway, I can guarantee you that the title will have to do with an objest, so how about Harry Potter and the locket that was in the fifth book that everyone forgot about.

Volume 1: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
It's the Philosopher's Stone, Damn it. The PHILOSOPHER'S Stone!!!
Um... sorry. I just never got the point of the U.S. calling it something different than the rest of the English speaking world. It's just like how you spell certain words without the "u", and then think that everyone else is weird. Posts: 1569 | Registered: Dec 2004

Let's all stop kidding ourselves. Once you break the code and learn what all the "magic" really is, there's nothing that hasn't gone down in that crazy castle. And the continuing plot element, faithful to the last and clearly the note to end the series on:
Harry Potter and The Passionate Affair With Ron (or, The Real Reason the Curtains Ripped in PoA)

I admit that the changing of the title to "Sorcerer's Stone" just about made me ashamed to be an American. Because it was obviously due to the fact that the vast majority of Americans have never heard of the Philosopher's Stone (never mind how Rowlings butchered the concept), and because no book with the word "philosopher" in the title was going to appeal to the average Amurrican.
That said, the bizarre extra "u" in color and favor and the like should have gone away as soon as the sun set on the British Empire. Think how much ink y'all waste with those things.

It makes me wonder how many kids of religious nuts who think Harry Potter is devil worship, may have been allowed to read about a Philosopher rather than a Sorcorer.

Well, I don't think that Rowling was really going for historical accuracy.

I'm curious. In the film, did they dub in "Sorceror's Stone" every time the words "Philosopher's Stone" were uttered? Or did they leave the film intact while changing only the title?

I was thinking the same thing, Teshi. There was so much speculation about Hagrid, but I think it was ... Snape?

It was Snape. His mother's maiden name was Prince, I think. And since he's a half-blood, he came up with that nickname for himself. As we learn from his notes, Snape's skill in potion making and affinity for the dark arts were present since his youth.
And digging_holes, I think they did dub it in. I haven't seen the movie in a while though, so I can't recall if it's obvious.

I wonder too. Didn't they use subtitles because the accent is impossible to undrstand? You know, like Scottish films in the US...!

They actually filmed every scene that mentions it twice. I kid you not.
