for those not in the know... a bit of trivia. During the European renaissance, alchemists tried for centuries to turn lead into gold as they're only 1 proton apart on the periodic table of elements. Supposedly, an Alchemist who possessed an item called the Philosopher's stone could turn lead into gold... hence Philosopher's Bane would do the opposite.

In America, the first Harry Potter movie that came out a few months ago was supposed to be called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone (there was a lead-into-gold subplot). That was the title as it was released in England, but American marketers thought it sounded too dry and dull, so the title was changed to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
