Question: Is there a definite answer as to why this is called "Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone" in the US?
Answer: Both the book and the film were retitled because Scholastic, the publishers, were worried that American children wouldn't have heard the legend of the "philosopher's stone", and would think the book was about philosophy. They wanted to rename it to something that made it obvious that it's about magic, so they used "sorceror's".
