Linda(Me):
   The troll on the way to the stone was deffinitely not the same 
one from halloween. 

    "Eyes watering, they saw, flat on the floor in front of them, a 
troll even larger than the one they had tackeled, out cold with a 
bloody lump on its head."---Through The Trap Door SS

      I guess it could be the same troll and it grew between 
Halloween and June but I got the impression that the troll HR 
battled in the girls bathroom was an adult...no canon just an 
impression.

21......
