Harry Potter Ukranian Orphanage Translation

When Scholastic bought the U.S. rights to "Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone," the publisher wanted to rename it "Harry Potter and the School of Magic." J.K. Rowling rejected that title, but she agreed to a compromise and suggested "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone" instead. Rowling later regretted allowing the change since the American title replaced the original reference to the legendary philosopher’s stone.
