Also, P G Wodehouse wrote a story called "Mr Potter Takes a Rest
Cure", starring John Hamilton Potter. At one point, seing the horrible
Clifford Gandle approaching, Mr. Potter jumps back and hides in a
small cupboard (which, naturally, Mr. Gandle opens).

For that matter, "The Man who Gave Up Smoking", also by P G Wodehouse,
has Hermione Rossiter, and her brother George...>>


Me:
Old thread, this.  Just demonstrates what a backlog of HPfGU posts I haven't 
read.  Does anyone remember the 1986 movie, "Troll"?   This movie was a 
childhood favorite of mine, in which a boy named Harry Potter (played by Noah 
Hathaway of "The Neverending Story" fame)  fights against a troll who is 
transfiguring everyone and everything in his apartment building.  "Troll" was 
the first thing that came to my mind when I first heard about the Harry 
Potter series.
