That's just my opinion though.............

Again, it's an English legend.

There is ancient legends about Alchemist's who managed to create the Philosopher's Stone, a Stone that cou8ld turn any metal into gold. I'm suprised it didn't travel to America - after all, these legends span back hundreds of years, long before the american colonosts left England

It's very likely that the legends have reached here they just haven't been spread around as much. I'm sure there are quite a few people out there who have heard of them, I just haven't met them.

That English alchemist goes by the name of Nicholas Flammel and yes they do say that in the book. But i know this because i have done a report on Flammel and the Philosopher's stone. Phoenix the information you have given is correct according to what little physical evidence is available. Myth has it that he did use the Philosopher's stone to live for an extremely long time before he decided to stop using it because of the death of his wife who had also been using it but died of an accident. (of course this is according to legend/myth)

Thats interesting

sorcerous stone does't sound right. Makes it sound like a little cartoon or something. mabey americans wouldn't understand but niether would alot of other countries around the world. I dont think the name should have been changed for the americans. They should get on a computer and find out what the philosipers stone is.

philosopher's stone is by no means my favourite hp book but it does have some cool quotes made by dumbledore in it. it isn't as complex or interesting as books 5, 4 and 3 but JK had 2 start somewhere.
