What is the title of the 2001 film adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s first Harry Potter novel in the United States?

The 2001 United States film adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s first Harry Potter novel is titled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

The film was released in the United States on 16 November 2001 and directed by Chris Columbus. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson made their feature-film debuts as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger. The story follows their first year at Hogwarts and their discovery of a plot involving a powerful magical object.

In the United Kingdom and many other countries, both the novel and film use the title Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The American title change was made for the U.S. edition of the book and carried over to the film.

This is why two official titles refer to the same first Harry Potter story. The difference is regional, not a distinction between separate adventures.
