Some of these differences may be due to cultural or linguistic differences between French and English. For example, the title "Sorcerer's Stone" may have been translated to "The Philosopher's Stone" in French because the word "philosopher" is closer in meaning to "alchemist" (the person who created the stone) in French than the word "sorcerer." Additionally, the title "Half-Blood Prince" may have been translated to "The Prince of Half-Blood" in French because the word "prince" is closer in meaning to "nobleman" (a title that Snape could be considered to have) in French than the word "prince."
