RevolverSaro 02/28/12 2:55:00 PM #51:	*paperwarior posted...* Did they change the actual text of the book to replace all mention of philosophers with sorcerers? I'm pretty sure the stone itself was called the Philosopher's Stone. They did do a 4Kids-esque amount of localization, though. Nope, it was called the Sorcerer's Stone in the text too. -- "Don't freeze up girl, you're looking quite a sight." - Adam Ant. "Baby, can you dig your man?
