Do Adults Remember 1997?! | Trivia Battle

Lol not them saying "oh the brits, why'd they gotta have a different title" when the british one is actually the original one for harry potter 😂

[@YoujubPlu]

13:27 Umm excuse us, The Philosopher’s Stone was actually the original title 🙈😅 (it’s a British book) so…why did the Americans have to be so awkward and change one word in the title??

[@doclewis8927]

Book publishers thought that Americans would be too stupid to figure out what a "philosopher's stone" was but if you were a "GenXer, like myself" then you would've heard it in your chemistry class. I have zero idea why they thought that kids couldn't figure it out given the context of the book and everything. Sometimes, it amazes me how little credit is given to kids and their ability to comprehend something, especially when it's given context around it.

[@likethecheeze321]

truth, and besides, The Philosopher's Stone is a legend based in alchemic lore from CENTURIES ago. I mean...Dumbledore straight up talks about his friend NICHOLAS FLEMEL. (Any FMA fans should have already that connection.)

Lol The Philosophers' Stone is the OFFICIAL title. It was changed to Sorcerer's Stone for America because they thought no one would know what a Philosopher is.

[@DEH1963]

They didn't think no one in America would know what a philosopher is. The word philosopher in America may have a different meaning than how it was meant in the title of the book, but that doesn't mean American's don't know what it means. They went with "sorcerer" simply because it has clearer magical connotations.

Philosophers Stone is not the "British version" of the book/movie. Sorcerer's Stone is the American version. They changed it to "Sorcerer's Stone" for the Americans because they thought they wouldn't understand.

[@piperbird7193]

I've never understood that. Americans know what a philosopher's stone is. And even if we didn't, we didn't know what fkn quidditch was and we just learned it from the book, we would have learned philosopher's stone, too.

[@NixBurkett1984]

The fact that America couldn't grasp the word Philosopher and it had to be changed to Sorcerer is hilarious. I was 13 in 1997, and went to see Titanic with my parents (I'm a huge history buff & was obsessed with Leo.) i remember leaving the cinema sobbing uncontrollably. I still believe there was enough room on the door for both Jack & Rose. And Benison totally deserved a point for writing 'cult'

What people don't get about the Seinfeld ending (the very end, not the rest) is that they're ending on the same conversation between George and Jerry that they started with. Literally nothing has changed, they haven't grown at all, and they've learned nothing - and that's because they were nothing but self-serving garbage for the entire run of the show.. It literally could not have ended any other way and made sense. Were they supposed to do all that and then find love and happiness and success? Hell no. The cycle begins again.

[@PincoPallino-zh8wm]

I like how she kept saying "Jacob Elordi!" even after people didn't know him... repeating his name won't change anything lol. PS: I have never heard of this guy either.

[@jamgart]

Naming it The Philosophers Stone was not to be ‘extra’ it was an actual historical name from alchemist lore. It was Americans that changed it to Sorcerer to dumb it down and sound more ‘Disney’ And I’m pretty sure it’s only America that call it sorcerer. All books and movies everywhere else is Philosopher’s.

[@eddiebrock1068]

The name was changed because the American publishers thought we wouldn't wanna read a book titled philosophers as kids which was a dumb decision, even JK Rowling said she regretted agreeing to the name change

[@charlienerd]

As a brit who met jk rowling before hp became a movie the original title is harry potter and the philosopher's stone it was only changed in the US as they thought americans wouldnt know what it was or how to pronounce it, so calling brits stupid for having a different title actually its you whose wrong as only in the US was it released as sorcerers stone. They also had to shoot scenes twice whenever they said philosopher's stone in order for it to be released in movie theaters in the US.

[@ajpringle03]

Fun fact. It was called the Sorcerers Stone in America because British publishers thought Americans were stupid and didnt think that the book would sell over there because the title is too complicated

[@ericforsyth]

"Why do the British have to be so ridiculous?" Philosopher's Stone is THE title. American publishers changed it because they didn't think American kids knew what a Philosopher's Stone was. The Philosopher's Stone is a legend. The Sorceror's Stone is shit they made for American audiences of the book.

[@ilovelauragrant]

13:11 it’s literally a British book, written by a British author. Its name is Harry Potter and the philosophers stone. Not sorcerer’s stone huns xoxox

[@lawreb91]

Americans' understanding of a philosopher is way different from the way the Brits use it. A child reading the series in the 90s in America wasn't going to get that a British philosopher was more like an alchemist or something. I'm guessing not that many Americans know even as adults. It made sense for us to change it to something we'd understand and read.

[@mythosinmedia]

People really didn't get the Seinfeld ending. I loved it because I knew the intention behind it: 1) It made sense for the characters, because for 9 seasons, they were the most callous, shallow, horrible people ever. So them going to jail when everybody they were unkind to came to testify against them is. just perfect. 2) Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld always said when the show ended they wanted to go out with a huge bomb, like the most anticlimatic ending ever. They even had a post credit scene with Jerry doing stand up in prison and getting booed off stage. 3) Finally, the genius of the episode was that it took all the theories fans were making about how it would end (And mind you, this was before social media, which is impressive) and they teased all of the major theories in the episode, while not fulfilling any of them. It wasn't a good episode of Seinfeld, but it was the perfect ending for Seinfeld.

[@amandabriscoe6578]

I guess it's because I was 17 and didn't really have any friends who watched Seinfeld, but I never realized it was so hated. I liked it when I saw it. I was never a fanatic or anything, just something silly to laugh at. I loved that they brought back all the people they'd ever interacted with to show just how horrible they really were. Their trial was my favorite part because of that.

[@miamcdonogh2097]

Love how Nick calls the Brits ridiculous for having the original name of the book XD Majority of countries had it as the original title...America changed it to Sorcerer's stone XD "Rowling and her American editors decided to change the name to Sorcerer because it had a deeper magical presence and would not misinform U.S. audiences of Flamel's occupation."

Only the very ending clip of Seinfeld was shown but the episode had them on trial in court. That allowed them to have witnesses called to the stand where the show was able to bring back many reoccurring and guest characters in the episode from throughout its entire history where the witnesses all corroborated that the main cast were terrible people. Also the very last dialogue from the last episode was also the very first dialogue from the very first episode.

harry potter was called the sorcerers stone in America because the publishers in America thought that philosopher's stone didn't sound exciting and magical enough to appeal to American kids, also they were concerned that kids wouldn't know what philosopher meant to the point they even shot the scenes in the movies twice using sorcerer's stone in one take and Philosopher's stone in the other just so American kids didn't get confused between the movie and the book. A lot of streaming sites use the American title for movies so it can confuse people in the UK and Australia when the title is different to what they know/remember. kind of funny as "The Philosopher's Stone" is supposed to be a legendary item from Alchemy that could essentially make something from nothing or turn lead to gold or make the elixir of life that made its drinker immortal, and it existed in fantasy and fiction stories long before Harry Potter was even a passing thought in J.K Rowling's head.
