{{game disambig||the console version|[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]}}
'''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone''', known as '''Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone''' in the United States, is the name of five distinct video games. The first four versions were released in [[2001]] by [[Electronic Arts]] for the [[PC]], [[Game Boy Color]], [[Game Boy Advance]], and the [[PlayStation]]. The PC version was released for the [[Mac]] by [[Aspyr]] in [[2002]]. Another version, for [[Nintendo GameCube]], [[PlayStation 2]], and [[Xbox]], was released in [[2003]]. Although very different games, they do have some common features, such as the Flipendo jinx, even though it is not found in the books or movies. The game is based on J. K. Rowling's ''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'', the first novel in the Harry Potter series. Most reviews for the games were rather negative due to the simple game play making them only suitable for a younger audience, with the exception of the PlayStation 2 version, which is slightly more challenging.
