Nickie-Fleming, Yes. But what is the significance? Why would a thoughtful
8th grader say : "think about it"?  I think she was bluffing.

Just shows how much people confuse British English and American English!

That's the title of the original version, actually.

It's called "The Sorcerer's Stone" only in America, because the U.S. publishers thought "Philosopher's Stone" sounded too boring and British.

I remember we were all horrified to see Grandpa up on the roof
with his Superman cape on.
"Get down!" yelled Uncle Lou. "Don't move!" screamed Grandma.
But Grandpa wouldn't listen. He walked to the edge of the roof
and stuck out his arms, like he was going to fly.
I forget what happened after that.
