Harry Potter, Jr anyone?  I think the main character's name is Larry 
Topper. hehe :P

Magpie:
Them's fightin' words. That is the movie of The Dark is Rising, a 
book (and series) that came out well before Harry Potter. The main 
character is Will Stanton, my fictional love since the age of 11. In 
the book he's nothing like Harry, really (except for becoming a 
wizard at 11 and being English, I guess) but the movie has 
completely changed the story and Will. The Dark is Rising fandom has 
been watching developments on it with growing horror. Imagine if the 
HP movies had made Harry American, changed the Dursleys into nice 
people, changed Ron and Hermione into one person and made Harry bff 
with Snape. That's the kind of changes we're talking about.
