Also, P G Wodehouse wrote a story called "Mr Potter Takes a Rest

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.
