With the Harry/Hagrid style, there is a version with Philosopher title and a version with Sorcerer title - is the Sorcerer title a US one sheet and the Philosopher title an international poster? Or was it also released as Sorcerer in regions outside the US?

my copies were Sorcerer, however I have compared them and I see no other differences, all the way down to small text & logos, at ;east as far as I could see.

I have it listed

Most sources point out that the Sorcerer title was only used in the US, which suggests that the poster should be printed in the US and distributed elsewhere.

Title wise, I am still sleuthing to see the working title used in Singapore at that point of time, so I shall need some time. Personally I won't be too surprised if we used the Sorcerer's title. A more recent example I can think of is Disney's Zootopia. To my knowledge, the title Zootropolis was used in certain places, but Asian countries such as Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore used the US title Zootopia instead.

my poster has no ratings box, ergo - international style.

and

I can find no differences in the bottom 1/4 of the posters

Funny thing is... before it was labelled as a Singapore poster, it was labelled Canadian! So I emailed the folks at emovieposter and told them that this was likely not a Canadian print, and mentioned that it is perhaps a US print or international one. I left the naming up to them, so they decided to name it a Singapore poster. I'm not sure how pedantic I should be, and have no intention of harassing the nice folks over there. What do you guys think?

I think it's funny that there is no information forthcoming about how this was identified as a Singapore poster and in noting that it was first described as a Canadian poster and changed without any additional data makes me even more suspicious about the designation. I have no reason to believe this is not a plain old, US printed international style.
